Introduction of Beijing Academy of Quantum Information Sciences

Established on December 24, 2017 and initiated by the People’s Government of Beijing Municipality, the Beijing Academy of Quantum Information Sciences (BAQIS) is a new type of research institute co-founded by several top-notch academic institutions. It also represents the efforts of the People’s Government of Beijing Municipality in responding to the central government’s strategic decisions to build an international center for science and technology innovation. BAQIS bears the mission of “establishing a world-class institute for solving the most pressing difficulties faced by our country and leading the world’s research and development”. BAQIS is dedicated to exploring the frontiers of quantum physics and quantum information technology, while adopting a governance model and an operation mechanism in line with international standards. Gathering the backbone scholars in Beijing who specialize in quantum state of matter, quantum communication, quantum computing, quantum materials and devices and quantum precision measurement, BAQIS is introducing top-notch talents from home and abroad in its move to build a stable group of research teams working on fully-fledged academic disciplines with first-class experts at the core, a technical support team composed of high-level engineers, and outstanding supporting platforms for experiment. In doing so, BAQIS strives to make world-class achievements in the study of the theory, materials and devices, communication, computing and precision measurement among other fields of basic research, and make quantum technology be applied at a large scale and in a practical and industrialized manner, in order to improve China’s strategic strength of science and technology.

Governance model in line with international standards

In terms of its organization structure, BAQIS is a institution with independent legal persons initiated and established by the People’s Government of Beijing Municipality, with no limit to the size and no officially budgeted posts. BAQIS adopts a system, in which the President, under the leadership of the Board of Directors, assume the main responsibility. The Board serves as the decision-making body, subordinated by the Performance Evaluation Committee and the Audit Committee. As for its operation mechanism, BAQIS is actively enhancing its innovation in systems for talents recruitment, integration of stock resources and sharing of intellectual property rights, so as to ensure its sound development.

Sound salary and welfare system

When it comes to talent recruitment and cultivation, instead of adopting the same system of officially budgeted posts with fixed salary as other public institutions, BAQIS embraces a more flexible way to attract talents by the contract system with a flexible salary structure, which has already been applied by many international research institutions, and provides support for talents in household registration, housing, and children’s education. BAQIS also encourages domestic and foreign researcher fellows to join BAQIS either in full-time or part-time form, which is beneficial to the free flow of talents.

Remarkable scientific achievements

BAQIS developed the world’s longest-life superconducting qubit chip (503 microseconds), broke a world record for creating Quantum Secure Direct Communication (QSDC), transferring information securely over a distance of 100 km, proposed and realized the world’s first twin-field quantum key distribution technology without optical frequency dissemination. In addition, BAQIS also researched and developed a new type of  miniature atomic clock with its frequency stability and timekeeping accuracy in line with international standards, and realized the world’s first “industrial-grade ultra-compact, ultra-short and ultra-intense terawatt laser and the first desktop sync light source prototype”.

Superior location

 BAQIS is located in the west of Zhongguancun Software Park in Haidian District, with Baiwang Mountain to the west, the Summer Palace to the south and the Beijing Aerospace City to the north. It is surrounded by beautiful sceneries and boasts excellent working environment. With many top universities and institutes nearby, such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Peking University and Tsinghua University, BAQIS has a diversified source of talents.

Innovation in mechanisms and systems

BAQIS is exploring a mechanism to integrate existing and new resources to make more innovation and share benefits with others. In addition to share existing resources in a digital way and enhance resource efficiency, BAQIS is also trying to find out the possibility of building the intellectual property sharing mechanism, whose benefits will be given to front-line researcher fellows as a motivation to their enthusiasm for R&D. By attracting social capital, BAQIS sets up the Quantum Information Research and Achievement Transfer Fund, and it contributes to the transfer of scientific achievements with the help of specialized service institutions.

Honors

 BAQIS was entitled the National Advanced Group of Professional and Technical Talents by the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China together with other three departments. It is qualified to identify Beijing overseas talents, and boasts the sub-workstations to independently recruit postdoctoral researcher fellows. Since its foundation, researcher fellows from BAQIS have been shortlisted into the national talent programs for 11 times and municipal talent programs for 17 times and district-level for 1 time.
