ABOUT PHYSICS AT ZHEJIANG UNIVERTY Zhejiang University has been consistently ranked as one of the top few Chinese universities in recent decades based on statistical assessments from various domestic and international organizations. Established in 1928, the Department of Physics of Zhejiang University has been the cradle of many key breakthroughs in the physical sciences. In the 1940s, Kan-Chang Wang, the department chair at the time, proposed studying the recoil of K-captured Be nuclei, which later led to the first indirect evidence for the existence of neutrinos. Tsung-Dao Lee, from the class of 1943, together with Chen-Ning Yang proposed parity violation in the weak interaction in 1957. Later that year, Chien-Shiung Wu, who was a teaching staff member in the 1930s, led the experiments examining the decay of polarized Co-60 nuclei, which confirmed this theoretical proposal. Between the 1950s and 1980s, many physicists from the Department directly took part in the Chinese nuclear program, including most notably, the two key leaders Kan-Chang Wang and Kai-Jia Cheng. Despite these renowned successes, the Department shrank considerably between 1952 and 1980. To date, twenty physics alumni have been elected as members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and several have been elected as APS and OSA fellows. It hosts the Zhejiang Province Key Laboratory of Quantum Technology and Device, and part of the National Key Laboratory of Silicon Materials as well as the National Key Laboratory of Optical Engineering. Since 2022, the university has embarked on a program to greatly strengthen fundamental research in physical sciences and related interdisciplinary fields, as well as to cultivate highly-achieving graduate and undergraduate students, and develop advanced research platforms together with an international environment for academic research and exchange. The Department of Physics has been reconstructed into a school consisting of seven research institutes: the Zhejiang Institute of Modern Physics, Institute of Condensed Matter Physics, Institute of Optics, Institute for Fusion Theory and Simulation, Center for Correlated Matter, Institute of Applied Physics and Institute of Astrophysics and Astronomy. The number of full-time faculty will be expanded to 180 members, from 115 presently. Over the next ten years, the school will recruit 75 outstanding candidates from world-wide research institutes and universities to fill these vacancies, which may be either tenure track or tenured faculty positions, in research disciplines such as high energy physics, theoretical physics, condensed matter physics, plasma physics, optics, quantum information, applied physics, and biological physics. Detailed information about faculty members, the cultivation of (under)graduate students, research platforms, and cutting-edge research is available at http://physics.zju.edu.cn/phy/ .
