New Year in 2024, Climbing Yuelu Mountain and gathering at Ai Wanting Pavilion.

     Looking back at 2023, it was an extraordinary and fulfilling year, marking a period of continuous growth for our research team. Through the concerted efforts and hard work of everyone, we achieved significant breakthroughs in scientific research papers and projects. The number of high-quality research papers ranked first in the entire college, and the doctoral indicators reached a historic milestone, with the research team's funding surpassing ten million for the first time. Notably, Dr. Zheng Haihong, the first postdoctoral fellow in our team, successfully completed his term, publishing more than 10 papers during his tenure and becoming the first postdoctoral fellow in the School of Physics to achieve the "sublimation" title. Additionally, doctoral student Xie Xing was awarded the 2023 Graduate President's Scholarship Innovation Award, making him the first student from the 2022 cohort of doctoral students in the School of Physics to receive the Central South University President's Scholarship Innovation Award.

    The research team had the honor of hosting the "Nano Research" campus tour academic lectures, providing valuable opportunities for academic exchange among students. Furthermore, Wu Biao and Xie Xing received the first and third prizes of the Nano Research Scholarship, adding luster to the research team. Undergraduate student Zhou Mingchao successfully obtained an offer for a master's program in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Pennsylvania State University, showcasing the outstanding performance of our undergraduate students on the international stage. Talent program student He Rui was awarded the title of "Outstanding Student" in the 2023 "China Association for Science and Technology Talent Program," further enhancing the prestige of the research team. 

    With the addition of doctoral student Chen Junying and master's students Li Xinran and Hu Bijie, the research team's membership has gradually expanded, and the research level has taken a qualitative leap. The introduction of the German CryoRaman quantum optics system marks the beginning of a new chapter in low-temperature strong magnetic field quantum optics. Successful experimental manipulation of the phonon states of Moiré superlattices has been achieved, and its applications are currently being expanded. At the end of the year, the mentor was successfully promoted to full professorship and elected as the deputy director of the Institute of Quantum Physics, adding significant prestige to the entire research team.

    This series of achievements forms a unique and impressive landscape for our research team, laying a solid foundation for the coming year.
