We are pleased to share with you the good news that Mr. Mingyao Cui, a PhD student supervised by Prof. Kaibin Huang of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, has been awarded the 2024 National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) Young Student Basic Research Program grant (PhD candidate) (2024国家自然科学基金青年学生基础研究项目（博士研究生）).
Project Details:
- Project Title: Theory and Technology for MIMO Communications Based on Rydberg Atomic Receivers
- Researcher: Mr. Mingyao Cui
- Affiliation: PhD Student, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Faculty of Engineering
In his project, Mingyao explores atomic MIMO communication techniques, which lie at the intersection of wireless communication and quantum sensing. His research aims to blend the high spectral efficiency of MIMO technology with the exceptional sensitivity of Rydberg atomic quantum receivers. This innovative approach seeks to significantly enhance the performance of wireless communication systems.
This year marks the inaugural acceptance of applications from the Hong Kong and Macao regions, making the program highly competitive. Only 15 projects are funded in Hong Kong, with each receiving RMB300,000 over a maximum period of two years. Mingyao is among the selected few to have achieved this honour.
Our warmest congratulations to Mingyao and Prof. Kaibin Huang on their accomplishments, and we wish them continued success!
