华人物理学家叶军获2026年沃尔夫物理学奖 其团队研制出世界最精确的光学原子钟
博尔德（科罗拉多州）——沃尔夫基金会10月1日晚宣布，华人物理学家叶军与德国学者伊曼努尔·布洛赫（Immanuel Bloch）共同获得2026年沃尔夫物理学奖，表彰两人在超冷原子系统调控方面的变革性突破。叶军任职于美国国家标准与技术研究院（NIST）与科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的联合实验室JILA，其团队主导研制的锶晶格光学原子钟是目前世界上最精确、最稳定的原子钟。
沃尔夫奖创立于1978年，被广泛视为诺贝尔奖的重要风向标之一。据中文媒体统计，叶军是该奖设立48年来第二位获得物理学奖的华人科学家，第一位是1978年获奖的吴健雄。
Physicist Jun Ye Wins 2026 Wolf Prize in Physics for Ultracold-Atom Breakthroughs and Record Optical Clocks
BOULDER, Colo. — The Wolf Foundation announced on the evening of October 1 that physicist Jun Ye will share the 2026 Wolf Prize in Physics with Germany's Immanuel Bloch, honoring transformative advances in the control of ultracold atomic systems. Ye works at JILA, a joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado Boulder, where his team has built strontium lattice optical clocks that are the most precise and stable atomic clocks in the world.
Founded in 1978, the Wolf Prize is widely regarded as a leading indicator for the Nobel Prize. Chinese-language media note that Ye is only the second Chinese scientist to win the Wolf Prize in Physics in the award's 48-year history, after Chien-Shiung Wu in 1978.
