From November 30^th to December 1^st, the Forth International Symposium on Quantum Physics and Quantum Information Sciences (QPQIS-2022) was successfully held by Beijing Academy of Quantum Information Sciences (BAQIS). 17 internationally renowned scholars from 10 countries, including China, United States of America, United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Denmark, Italy, Netherlands, Japan and Korea, had in-depth discussions on the theme of this forum "Advances in Fundamental Quantum Information Science Research".  According to statistics, more than 32,000 people from 19 countries attended this forum online.

Prof. Qi-Kun Xue and Prof. Tao Xiang, both BAQIS Presidents and Members of CAS, served as the chairmen of this forum. Prof. Heng Fan (Institute of Physics, CAS / BAQIS), Prof. Gui-Lu Long (Tsinghua Univ. / BAQIS), Prof. Hong-Qi Xu (Peking Univ. / BAQIS), Prof. Li You(Tsinghua Univ. / BAQIS) and Dr. Huai-Bin Zhuang (BAQIS) are members of the organizing committee.
