Quarkonium, the bound state of a heavy quark pair, is central to many aspects of particle and nuclear physics. Like the hydrogen atom in quantum mechanics, the discovery of the first quarkonium J/psi was the first tangible observation that quarks are physical particles. It provided the first direct evidence of the strong interaction theory in the subatomic world -- quantum chromodynamics (QCD). It is nowadays also understood that quarkonium analogues are important in the new physics search programme at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN and in the worldwide dark matter hunt. Quarkonium is also a powerful probe to conduct rich physics studies. Consequently, quarkonium has been measured…
