Closing of the First C.N. Yang Lecture: Academician Jun Ye Unravels the Spacetime Precision Revolution from Atomic to Nuclear Clocks
June 29, 2026
At 19:30 on June 21, 2026, the inaugural lecture of the C.N. Yang Lecture Series was held with great prominence. Jun Ye, a leading scholar in the field of international precision measurement and Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was invited to deliver the maiden talk entitled FROM ATOMIC TO NUCLEAR CLOCKS, exploring cutting-edge frontiers of quantum technology together with faculty and students present.
Centering on the core field of quantum clocks, the lecture traced the evolutionary trajectory of optical lattice atomic clocks and nuclear clocks. It offered in-depth interpretations of the applications and significance of quantum precision measurement in fundamental physics research and the detection of new physics beyond the Standard Model, featuring both profound theoretical insights and forward-looking perspectives.
As the opening lecture of the C.N. Yang Lecture Series, this talk delivered state-of-the-art content with rigorous logic and broad vision. It consolidated faculty and students’ theoretical understanding of quantum precision measurement while showcasing the boundless appeal and frontier prospects of fundamental physics research.
Moving forward, the Institute will continue to leverage the C.N. Yang Lecture Series as a platform to gather world-top academic minds, foster a vibrant academic atmosphere, and support the cultivation of innovative talents in fundamental science as well as breakthroughs in core technologies.
