Business
The People’s Bank of China Realizes the Encryption and Decryption of Payment System by Quantum Key
Based on the demand of payment system encryption and decryption, the General Clearing Center of the People’s Bank of China has proposed a new scenario of using quantum keys: using quantum keys for business system application layer encryption and decryption. In order to realize the implementation of this scenario, the General Clearing Center has developed and built a quantum key distribution system. The system consists of two parts: quantum infrastructure and quantum key management system. Through the interconnection of quantum private network (quantum “Beijing-Shanghai” trunk line + local quantum metropolitan network), quantum key distribution technology is used to generate quantum keys among data centers in three places, and the generated quantum keys are called by the upper quantum key management system.

USTC makes important progress in quantum simulation of arbitrary sublight
The team of Academician Guo Guangcan of the USTC simulated and demonstrated a method for realizing topological quantum calculation based on the zero-mode weaving operation of parafermions and the extraction of magic states. The experimental results show that the para-fermion zero-mode weaving process is immune to local noise and keeps the conservation of quantum intertextual resources. Therefore, it is possible to realize universal and fault-tolerant quantum computing by means of weaving operations and magic state distillation. The research has been published in PRX Quantum.

CAS achieves a magnetic measurement that breaks the standard quantum limit for the first time in a solid-state system
Researchers at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have achieved a magnetic measurement based on a diamond solid-state single-spin system that breaks the standard quantum limit in a room-temperature atmospheric environment. The discovery can be extended to other solid-state spin systems and is a fundamental boost to the development of both quantum precision measurements and quantum computing in solid-state systems. The research has been published in Science Advances.
