The Global Chinese Physics Society [2] is a non-political, professional, non-profit organization chartered in New York State in June 1990. The overall goal of the organization is to promote the study of physics and astronomy and, in particular, to promote recognition of the achievements of physicists and astronomers of Chinese descent. The Asian Achievement Award was established in 1993, and previous winners from mainland China include Zhongcan Ouyang, Qingsi Zhu, Jianguo Hou, Jie Zhang, Engo Wang, and Hongjun Gao.

According to the official website [3], Lu Chaoyang, Ph.D. in physics from the University of Cambridge, is currently a professor at the University of Science and Technology of China and executive director of the Shanghai Research Institute of the University of Science and Technology of China. He has published more than 130 papers in international academic journals, including 12 in Nature and Science, 12 in Nature's subjournals, 5 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and 54 in Physical Review Letters, which have been cited 21,000 More than 21,000 citations. As a key member of Academician Pan Jianwei's team, Lu Chaoyang has been working on fundamental quantum mechanics and scalable quantum information technology for a long time. 2015, he and his colleagues achieved single-photon multi-degree-of-freedom quantum invisibility, which was selected for the first time as one of the top ten breakthroughs in international physics by the British Physical Society. In 2021, he and his team built the Ninth Chapter II, which was selected as one of the top ten international advances of the year by the American Physical Society, and in 2022, he and his team completed the first series of quantum mechanical real number test experiments, which was selected as one of the top ten international advances of the year by the American Physical Society two days ago [4].
