Rate My Professor Hanning Dai

Han-Ning Dai is a Professor at the University of Science and Technology of China. He earned a B.S. from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2007 and a Ph.D. from the same institution in 2013. From 2013 to 2018, he served as a Postdoc Fellow at the Physikalisches Institut, University of Heidelberg, including a CAS-DAAD Joint Fellowship period from 2011 to 2013. Since February 2018, he has held the position of Professor at the University of Science and Technology of China.

His research interests include quantum simulation with ultracold quantum gases and quantum gas microscopes, as well as time and frequency measurement using optical lattice clocks. Selected publications include a 2024 paper in Metrologia on a strontium lattice clock with stability and uncertainty below 5 × 10^{-18}, a 2024 Physical Review Letters article on the transition from flat-band localization to Anderson localization in a one-dimensional Tasaki lattice, a 2023 Physical Review Letters paper on scalable multipartite entanglement created by spin exchange in an optical lattice, a 2020 Science paper on cooling and entangling ultracold atoms in optical lattices, and a 2018 Physical Review A paper on high-contrast transparency comb of the electromagnetically-induced-transparency memory. He is affiliated with the Division of Quantum Physics and Quantum Information and the Shanghai Branch of the Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the Microscale.
