Quantum information includes quantum computing and simulation, quantum communication and quantum measurement. At present, quantum communication based on quantum key distribution (QKD) is close to practical use. Others are still in theoretical and experimental research. In 2016, China achieved rapid development in the field of quantum information and achieved many breakthroughs in quantum communication applications.

On August 6, the quantum satellite "Mozi" successfully operated; on October 18, the world's first quantum communication commercial trunk line "Shanghai-Hangzhou trunk line" (Zhejiang section) was announced; November 21, the national quantum communication backbone network The “Beijing-Shanghai Main Line” project was successfully opened in Hefei to Shanghai. This is the longest quantum security communication backbone network that has been opened in the world. It is expected to be completed at the end of this year.

Relevant business people and experts involved in the above-mentioned circuit construction told 21st Century Business Reporter that the realization of multiple "firsts" in the world indicates that China's quantum application field is at the forefront of the world, and it also indicates that quantum technology will start from the laboratory. Going to the market.

In 2016, the whole society paid more attention to quantum information. At the end of the year, the landing of Beijing-Shanghai and Hangzhou-Shanghai trunk lines triggered market focus.

In terms of policy, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has put the practical application of quantum communication technology into the strategic field of competition in the “first action” plan, and launched the strategic pilot science special project “Quantum Science Experimental Satellite” in the “13th Five-Year Plan”. Application and construction of the Quantum Secure Communication "Beijing-Shanghai Main Line" project.

This year's market participation and resource allocation in the quantum field will be greatly improved, which can be regarded as the first year of quantum industrialization.

It is understood that China has always been a leader in quantum communication industrialization and related application technologies. In 2011, the completion of the Hefei Metropolitan Area Quantum Communication Test Demonstration Network became the world's first large-scale quantum communication network. In 2013, the “Jinan Quantum Communication Test Network” was announced and is now the world's largest metro quantum. Communication network; currently under construction, the “Beijing-Shanghai Main Line” project is planned to build a quantum secure communication line connecting more than 2,000 kilometers with a metropolitan area network connecting Beijing, Jinan, Hefei and Shanghai at the end of 2016.

China has been making breakthroughs in the industrialization of quantum communication. On November 23, the national quantum security communication "Wuhe Main Line" and the metropolitan area network will be opened in Wuhan. The local government is enthusiastic.

In an interview with the 21st Century Business Herald, it was learned that in 2016, several core enterprises introduced capital in quantum communication. Among them, a well-known Hangzhou company completed 200 million financing last year and actually completed 400 million financing.

Quantum communication is a strategic area that is related to national information and national defense security. It may change the development pattern of the information industry in the future. The major developed countries such as the United States, the European Union, and Japan are vigorously developing.

In the US Department of Defense's "Five-Year Plan for Science and Technology Development from 2013 to 2017", "Quantum Information and Control Technology" has been listed as the six major disruptive research fields in the future. Quantum technology has become the six major technologies of the US military. One of the directions.

The European Union has also proposed "European Quantum Science and Technology" and "European Quantum Information Processing and Communication" programs for the development of quantum information technology in its "European Research and Development Framework Plan".

China is a latecomer in the international competition of quantum communication, but its starting point is high and its progress is fast. It has reached the world advanced level in many aspects of application fields, especially in the key technologies of metro quantum communication, and even meets industrialization requirements. .

Foreign research and development in the field of quantum information, enterprise participation is extremely high, and the development of related enterprises is better than domestic enterprises. Domestically, relying on government investment, quantum technology core enterprises are still lacking in terms of scale and investment.

For example, Microsoft is spending a lot of money and resources to research quantum computers. At present, Microsoft has been able to design basic quantum bit building blocks and prepare for the development of a complete quantum computer.

In the past two years, IBM has also concentrated a large amount of resources on quantum computers. In May, IBM scientists first exposed the company's quantum computer access cloud services to the public. IBM hopes to develop experimental chips for quantum computers within a few years.

Foreign companies have put a lot of energy into the field of quantum computing. China's investment in this area is relatively insufficient. In terms of quantum computing and quantum measurement, the United States is leading China.

However, in the field of quantum communication applications, China and Europe and the United States alternately lead, and there may even be a possibility of overtaking in a corner.

Last year, the Chinese Academy of Sciences-Alibaba Quantum Computing Laboratory was officially established in Shanghai. The lab's goal is to research quantum security technologies for e-commerce and data centers and to explore the next generation of ultra-fast computing technology that goes beyond classic computers.

At the beginning of 2015, Huawei Academia Sinica began to recruit doctors in quantum science at major universities, and started research on the convergence of quantum technology and the future ICT industry.

For the future industrial scale of quantum communication, Guodun Quantum related person said in an interview with the 21st Century Business Herald: "This is a difficult problem. It can only be said that the market scale is considerable." In his view, from the basic theory research, technological innovation, In terms of the industrialization environment, there is no need for explosive growth of users in the short term.

Pan Jianwei, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, also said during an event that many scientific and technological achievements have been transformed into two skins. The reason is that before the results of the previous basic research came out, there was still a way to develop the technology before it became a truly useful result. This section often does not get everyone's attention, which is equivalent to having a "Valley of Death."

Can quantum information cross the "Valley of Death"? Optimists believe that with the intervention of market-oriented companies, there may be real market-oriented products in 2017.

Zheng Yuhui, chairman of Kyushu Quantum, told 21st Century Economic Reporter that on the one hand, the introduction of national industrial policies and the follow-up of local governments and industries, on the other hand, the introduction of industrialized quantum communication equipment, more and more projects will be implemented. I will really feel that quantum is around.

Market-oriented companies will also begin to build operations, such as backbone and metropolitan area networks.

The reporters of the 21st Century Business Herald found that the Beijing-Shanghai trunk line and the Hangzhou-Hangzhou trunk line built this year are both in the Yangtze River Delta region. The high-level leaders of Zhejiang Province have repeatedly stressed that efforts should be made to make Zhejiang an important base for research and development and industrialization of quantum communications. In 2017, the Yangtze River Delta region will further promote the application and popularization of the quantum communication industry.

Zheng Yuhui divided the development of future quantum industrialization into three stages, each of which was almost three to five years. The first stage is the equipment manufacturer's three years, reducing the cost to one tenth, laying a solid foundation for the arrival of the quantum + era. The second five years is the operator's three years. The nationwide group will build a quantum communication network, and the exchange will become private and secure. Many companies will participate in this field.

The third is the three years of Internet platform vendors. The Internet industry and the payment field are undergoing tremendous changes. The Internet+ will usher in a more secure and harmonious quantum+ era. At present, it is in the first stage, and various projects are gradually being promoted.
