Professor Duan Luming obtained his bachelor's degree (1994) and doctoral degree (1998) from the University of Science and Technology of China. After graduation, he remained at the university to teach and successively held the positions of associate professor and professor. He was appointed as an assistant professor at the University of Michigan in 2003, obtained tenured positions in 2007, and became a Fermi Chair Professor in 2012. In 2018, he resigned from his position as Fermi Chair Professor at the University of Michigan and returned to work full-time at the Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences, Tsinghua University. Currently, he serves as the Yao Qizhi Chair Professor and the Chair Professor of Basic Sciences at Tsinghua University.

Professor Duan is engaged in research on quantum computers and quantum networks. He has received the Special Award of the President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the National Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Award, the Rao Yutai Basic Optics Award, the Ho Ying-dong Youth Research Award, the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Hundred Talents Program, the Second Prize of the Natural Science Award of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Second Prize of the National Natural Science Award. In 2004, he was awarded the Sloan Research Fellowship in the United States. In 2005, he received the Outstanding Research Award from the Overseas Chinese Physical Society. In 2009, he was elected as a fellow of the American Physical Society.

Professor Duan has completed some pioneering work in the field of quantum information and proposed a quantum relay scheme for realizing long-distance quantum communication networks. It has been hailed by international peers as the "DLCZ" (Duan-Lukin-Cirac-Zoller) scheme, which is a foundation-establishing scheme in this field. Professor Duan proposed a scheme for large-scale quantum computing through quantum network interconnection, laying a theoretical foundation for the recent large-scale development of ion quantum computing. He was invited to write a review in this direction in the authoritative physics journal "Modern Physical Review". Professor Duan has published over 180 papers in renowned academic journals of physics (including more than 50 in Physical Review Letters, 8 in Nature, 3 in Science, and over 10 in sub-journals of Nature and Science), with a total of more than 26,000 citations.
