Quantum information research in China

Abstract

With the success of Micius quantum satellite experiments, China is believed to be one of the leading nations in quantum information science. For the past 10 years, the research funding for quantum information research is mainly from the central and local governments with a total amount of around 987 million USD. Here, we summarize the research efforts China has taken to boost the field of quantum information science from the aspects of both basic research and industrial applications, and discuss the future perspectives.
