Dr. Lixing You  / Chairman, Researcher

Lixing You received his Ph. D. degree from Nanjing University in 2003. He has been engaged in superconducting electronics research at Tohoku University in Japan, Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, University of Twente in the Netherlands, NIST in the United States and University of California, Berkeley, with rich experience in superconducting electronics and applications. In September 2007, Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences joined the "Hundred Talents Project". He carries out long-term research on superconducting single photon detector (SNSPD). The device performance of independent research reached the international leading level; The cooperation realized a series of international leading application demonstrations of quantum information and satellite ranging. It has strongly promoted the scientific and technological progress in the field of quantum information in China. In addition, he is the chief scientist of the key research and development program "High Performance Single photon Detection Technology (2017-2022)" of Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology. As the principal, he initiated the formulation of the first international standard of SNSPD (IEC 61788-22-3). In 2016, he founded Photon Technology Co. Ltd and realized the only SNSPD device and system commercial sales in China. 

Lixing You has published more than 140 SCI academic papers and 15 authorized invention patents (including 2 international patents). He was invited to international conferences to give lectures for 3 times. The invitation lectures were over 10 times. In 2019, he won the first prize of Technology Invention Award of Chinese Optical Engineering Society (ranked first). In 2018, he won the IEC 1906 Award of International Electrotechnical Commission. In 2014 and 2019, his quantum communication application achievements were awarded as "China's Top Ten Scientific and Technological progress" twice. He is on the editorial board of five journals including Superconductor Science and Technology and Scientific Reports, and deputy editor-in-chief of IEEE CSC SNF. He is a member of International Workshop of Superconducting Sensors and Detectors Series, vice chairman of National Superconducting Standardization Technical Committee, vice chairman of Superconducting Electronics Branch of Chinese Electronics Society, etc.
