Nature: Pan Jianwei, the father of Chinese Quantum, won the top ten figures for 2017

[World Wide Web Reporter Lin Di] This morning (December 19th), Global Network Technology reporter learned from the top international academic journal “Nature” (“Nature”) official website, “The top ten figures of 2017” were freshly baked. Among them, Pan Jianwei, professor at the University of Science and Technology of China and chief scientist of the quantum communication science satellite "Mozi", was on the list.

It is reported that the "top ten people in 2017" refers to ten people who have had a major impact on science in 2017. They are Pan Jianwei, David Ruchien Liu (American Chinese), Marica Branchesi, Emily Whitehead, Scott Pruitt, Jennifer Byrne, Lassina Zerbo, Víctor Cruz-Atienza, Ann Olivarius, and Khaled Toukan.

According to Brendan Maher, editor-in-chief of Nature's magazine news agency, the Top 10 scientific figures selected by Nature magazine are the ten people who have had a major impact on science in the past year. From quantum communications to genome editing, scientists from these different fields In the history of science in 2017 left an indelible mark, and they will continue to influence science.

"Nature" magazine made a news feature for each candidate. Pan Jianwei was covered by the title of "father of quantum" (FATHER OF QUANTUM).

The following is the full text of the evaluation:

In China, some people call him: "the father of quantum." For Pan Jianwei, this is a fitting name. He is widely hailed as a scientist who has led China to the forefront of long-distance quantum communication (using quantum laws to safely transmit information). After receiving scientific training in Europe in 2008, Pan Jianwei returned to work in China full time. Since then he has ignited China’s enthusiasm for quantum technology. Christopher Monroe, a quantum physicist at the University of Maryland, College Park, said: “There are always a few times a year and I was shocked when I read what they were doing.”

In July this year, Pan Jianwei and his team at the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei reported that they broke the record of quantum teleportation and transmitted a photon quantum state to photons on an orbiting satellite 1400 kilometers above the ground. . And in September this team used the satellite to launch photons to Beijing and Vienna to generate quantum encryption keys, enabling teams in these cities to video chat in a completely secure manner. Because detecting photons can interfere with quantum states, hackers cannot intercept keys without being discovered.

Anton Zeilinger, a Ph.D. supervisor and partner of the University of Vienna, Pan Jianwei, said that this experiment was a "historical event." Pan's team has set off a wave of developments in the quantum Internet: a network of satellites and terrestrial devices that can share quantum information globally.

This technology will lead to unbreakable global encryption, as well as new experiments using long-distance quantum connections, such as combining the light from the Earth's detectors into a super-resolution telescope. Currently, Pan Jianwei's team plans to launch a second satellite and will run another quantum experiment on the Tiangong-2 space station in China. In the following five years, Pan Jianwei said: “A lot of exciting results will emerge. This is really a new era.

"Although he led a team of 50 scientists across multiple disciplines - including quantum simulation, computation and optics - Pan was the 'basic brain' behind these jobs," said Zeilinger. "He made the team full of imagination. A combination of force, organization, and experimental talent."

As a tireless and passionate optimist, Pan Jianwei also has the talent to persuade funders. He believes that the Chinese government will support his next big plan: a $2 billion, five-year plan that will focus on quantum communications, metering, and computing, which was announced in 2016 with a value of US$1.2 billion in Europe The flagship plan is exactly the same.

"Pan's skill lies in choosing the right problem and taking risks," Monroe said. "China is lucky to have him."
