launch of this quantum satellite signifies intercontinental quantumsecured communication for the first time, successfully connecting to
two observing stations, one in Beijing and one in Vienna.
Although there has always been a race to produce a quantum
satellite, it is probably no surprise that China has taken the lead.
The funding for basic research in China increased from 1.9 billion in
2005 to 10.1 billion in 2015. The government has been providing
incentives to lure Chinese born, foreign educated quantum experts
back, including Pan Jianwei, the physicist who is leading the project.
The launch of the quantum satellite is a truly remarkable
event due to its contribution to the development of hack-proof
network. Other than this, the satellite will even further the study of
quantum physics by testing out phenomenon such as quantum
entanglement. What is even more memorable, after all, is the
Chineses governments determination to contribute and become a
leader in such challenging fields, instead of following others
footsteps.
