15 Years of Quantum Progress in China
From 2009 to 2012, I lived in China.
While doing research, I was contacted by a private school to help prepare high school students who wanted to study at U.S. universities.
Most of them were Taiwanese, Hong Kong, and Singaporean students of Chinese origin living in Beijing.
I was genuinely surprised by how advanced these students were—bright, motivated, and already thinking deeply about science and technology.
After I left Beijing, I continued teaching online.
Over the years, more and more students from mainland China began reaching out.
Almost all of them went on to attend some of the most prestigious universities in the U.S., studying physics, electrical engineering, and computer science.
Some are still there today, and I’m very proud to have played a small part in their journey.
Since then, I’ve returned to China several times—a country I continue to hold close to my heart.
I share this story because 15 years ago, when I first moved to China, the country had almost no visible development in quantum computing.
Fast forward to today, and there’s global concern that China might be leading the quantum race!
It shows what focused government support and national determination can achieve—even in the most advanced areas of science and technology.
