Recently, a team of scientists from Gui-Lu Long’s group and Jianhua Lu’s group at Beijing Academy of Quantum Information Sciences and Tsinghua University proposed and realized a new QSDC system. The new system uses phase states for communication and photonic time-bin states for monitoring, respectively, achieving a distance of 100 km in fiber and setting up a new world record.

Recently, a team led by Prof. Ding Zhang and Prof. Qi-Kun Xue managed to carry out a systematic transport study in the lightly doped regime. This breakthrough was reached thanks to the recent technical advances in sample fabrications and modulations of the group. Their study, entitled "Little-Parks like oscillations in lightly doped cuprate superconductors", was published in Nature Communications​ on 14th March 2022.

Recently, Professor Kihwan Kim, assistant researchers Pengfei Wang and Jing-Ning Zhang from BAQIS, in cooperation with Tsinghua University, University de Seville and Southern University of Science and Technology, have experimentally demonstrated the first loophole-free quantum contextuality test. The work titled with "Significant loophole-free test of Kochen-Specker contextuality using two species of atomic ions" was published in Science Advances on February 9th.

In the study “Coherent phase transfer for real-world twin-field quantum key distribution”, published in Nature Communications, the Italian INRiM team demonstrated experimentally that coherent laser interferometry considerably improves the performances of long-distance quantum communication in real-world networks. BAQIS Chief Scientist Zhiliang Yuan contributed to the design of the experimental setup.
