### I. Introduction to the Institute

The Institute of Atomic and Molecular Physics of Jilin University is a natural science research institution approved by the Ministry of Education in 1979. In 1998, it became one of the first units authorized to grant doctoral degrees in the first-level discipline of physics. It is a key discipline under the "211 Project" and "985 Project", and has established two provincial key laboratories: the Jilin Provincial Key Laboratory of Applied Atomic and Molecular Spectroscopy, and the Jilin Provincial Innovation Center for Advanced Light Fields and Modern Medical Technology. Under the leadership of senior scientists such as Professor Gou Qingquan, after more than 40 years of development, the Institute has become a major base for scientific research and talent cultivation in related fields in China, having trained over 300 doctoral graduates, including academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, recipients of the National Outstanding Youth Fund, New Century Talents, Tang Aoqing Distinguished Professors, Tang Aoqing Chair Professors, and directors of national key laboratories and provincial key laboratories.

Currently, the Institute has 51 faculty and staff members, including 38 teachers, among whom 5 are national-level talents and 14 are Tang Aoqing talents. In recent years, the Institute has focused on quantum processes and precision measurement of atoms and molecules in ultra-fast and intense laser fields. It has hosted and completed scientific research projects such as the Major Scientific Research Instrument and Equipment Development Project of the National Natural Science Foundation, the National Major Scientific Research Program (973) projects, major research plans and key projects of the National Natural Science Foundation, national key research and development programs, and national major special tasks. It has established long-term cooperative research relationships with several world-class research institutions, forming its own disciplinary characteristics and international influence.

Following the rapid development of Jilin University, the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Physics adheres to the principle of prioritizing scientific research and talent cultivation, takes it as its responsibility to serve the national and local economic construction and national defense construction, focuses on international academic frontiers and national major needs, seizes opportunities for scientific development, relies on the construction of national key disciplines, maintains disciplinary characteristics, strengthens disciplinary strength, emphasizes high-quality talent cultivation and innovative scientific research, and strives to make greater contributions to building a high-level research university and meeting relevant national needs.
