Center for Quantum Information (CQI) at Tsinghua University was established on January 6, 2011, and its inauguration ceremony took place at the Lecture Hall, FIT Building, Tsinghua University on January 15, 2011. Led by Prof. Andrew Chi-Chih Yao, world-leading computer scientist, winner of the A.M. Turing Award in 2000, CQI aims to develop a world-class platform for the teaching and research of quantum information in China.
CQI adopts management methods of top universities and institutions. Its current research interests include genuine quantum networks, quantum computation, quantum simulation, quantum algorithm and complexity theory, and quantum operation. As CQI develops further, its research and cooperation will extend to other fields related to quantum techniques and information security.
