Jian-Wei Pan: Breaking the Wall of Practical Satellite QKD | Science Summit 2025

Описание: This video features the Falling Walls Science Breakthrough of the Year 2025 in Physical Sciences, presented on 9 November 2025 at the Falling Walls Science Summit in Berlin.

Jian-Wei Pan – Breaking the Wall of Practical Satellite QKD
Jian-Wei Pan and his team developed the world’s first quantum microsatellite for real-time quantum key distribution (QKD) using mobile ground stations. This breakthrough overcomes the limitations of terrestrial QKD and paves the way for secure global communication networks of the future.

Jian-Wei Pan is a Professor of Physics at the University of Science and Technology of China, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Fellow of TWAS. He serves as Director of the CAS Centre for Excellence and Innovation in Quantum Information and Quantum Physics and Chief Scientist for the Quantum Science Satellite Project and the Beijing-to-Shanghai 2000-km Quantum Communication Backbone Project.

Presented by Cheng-Zhi Peng
