The Willis E. Lamb Prize in Laser Science and Quantum Optics is awarded annually to recognize scientists who have made outstanding contributions to the field. The award was established in honor of renowned laser physicist Willis E. Lamb. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1955 for his discovery of the Lamb shift of the hydrogen atom and made seminal contributions to the development of laser theory.
According to public information, David Wang is a researcher at the School of Physics, Zhejiang University. he graduated from Tongji University with his undergraduate degree in 2006, and graduated from the Chinese University of Hong Kong with his PhD in 2012, and served as a postdoctoral fellow, a research assistant professor and a research associate professor at Texas A&M University from 2012-2017. His main research is on quantum simulation of quantum optical systems, proposed and realized superradiant lattice and photon number state lattice, and synthesized a variety of many-body interactions. He has published more than 60 papers, including 2 Science, 1 Nature Physics and 14 PRL, and chaired the key project of National Natural Science Foundation of China and the youth project of Key R&D Program of Ministry of Science and Technology.
