A three-year Jockey Club Sustainable Campus Consumer Programme was developed to promote the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 12.

Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have demonstrated a new way to control the quantum state through the loss of particles – a process that is usually avoided in the quantum device, offering a new way towards the realization of unprecedented quantum states.Manipulating a quantum system requires a subtle control of quantum state with zero imperfect operations, otherwise the useful information encoded in the quantum states is scrambled.  One of the most common detrimental processes is the loss of particles that consist of the system. This issue has long been seen as an enemy of quantum control and was avoided through the isolation of the system.  But now, researchers at the HKUST have discovered a way that could gain quantum control from loss in an atomic quantum system.The finding was published today in Nature Physics. 

A look back on HKUST 's achievements and how we leaped forward in another pandemic-stricken year  

HKUST ranked the third most international university in the world by THE.

T cells, one of the body’s key defences against COVID-19, are expected to be effective in mounting an immune response against Omicron.

A university education is sure to help pave the way for your future success by taking your interests to ever-higher levels. In the third part of this year’s Why HKUST? Series, two Malaysians detail how their HKUST courses have enabled them to transform their academic interests into meaningful professional achievements.Bor  Hung CHONG first became interested in entrepreneurship while still at high school. Though he had never previously studied commerce, he elected to write a business plan for his grade-10 personal project. “I asked a business teacher to mentor me on my project which involved pitching the opening of a suit store in a nearby shopping mall,” says Bor Hung. His teacher was subsequently amazed by the in-depth and articulate nature of his research and strategic thinking.

I was quite a bad student until I found my passion.Having dreamed of working in the gaming industry from a young age, Prof. Kenneth LEUNG, Assistant Professor of Engineering Education at HKUST’s School of Engineering never thought he would become a professor one day, let alone winning a teaching award.  “I was quite a bad student until I went to college,” recounts the winner of the HKUST 2021 Common Core Teaching Excellence Award. “But then I discovered an interest in computer science and continued my studies in the graduate level. Before I realized, I became a teaching assistant (TA), and now, a professor at HKUST where I got my PhD.”  Expectations met Reality
