Xue Qikun, vice president of Tsinghua University and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, explained this issue and put forward comments and suggestions.
Xi Jinping delivered a speech while presiding over the study.
He pointed out that in recent years, quantum technology has developed by leaps and bounds and has become the frontier of a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation.
Accelerating the development of quantum technology plays a very important role in promoting high-quality development and ensuring national security.
The purpose of arranging this group study is to understand the development trend of quantum technology in the world, analyze the development situation of quantum technology in my country, and better promote the development of quantum technology in China.
Xi Jinping emphasized that quantum mechanics is a major achievement of human exploration of the microscopic world.
The development of quantum technology has great scientific significance and strategic value. It is a major disruptive technological innovation that impacts and reconstructs the traditional technological system, and will lead a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation.
Chinese scientific and technological workers are catching up in quantum technology and have achieved a number of major innovations with international influence.
Generally speaking, our country has already possessed the scientific and technological strength and innovation ability in the field of quantum technology.
At the same time, we must also realize that there are many shortcomings in the development of quantum technology in my country, and development is facing multiple challenges.
We must unswervingly follow the path of independent innovation, strengthen our confidence, work hard, break through key core technologies, strive to achieve independent control in key areas, ensure the safety of the industrial chain and supply chain, and enhance our country's technology to respond to international risks and challenges.
Xi Jinping pointed out that it is necessary to systematically summarize the successful experience of my country's quantum science and technology development, learn from the beneficial practices of foreign countries, analyze and judge the development trend of quantum science and technology in depth, find the entry point and breakthrough point of my country's quantum science and technology development, and coordinate basic research, cutting-edge technology, and engineering technology research and development. , To cultivate strategic emerging industries such as quantum communications, seize the commanding heights of international competition in quantum technology, and build new development advantages.
Xi Jinping emphasized the need to strengthen top-level design and forward-looking layout.
It is necessary to strengthen strategic research and judgment, insist on innovation and self-confidence, dare to gnaw hard bones, strengthen top-level design and forward-looking layout in the organization and implementation of long-term major projects, strengthen interdisciplinary integration and integrated innovation in multiple technical fields, and form my country's systemic capacity for quantum technology development.
Xi Jinping pointed out that it is necessary to improve the policy support system.
It is necessary to accelerate the creation of a favorable policy environment for promoting the development of quantum technology and form more powerful policy support.
It is necessary to ensure capital investment in the field of quantum science and technology, and at the same time encourage local governments, enterprises, and society to increase investment.
It is necessary to increase investment in scientific research institutions and universities in basic research on quantum technology, strengthen the overall construction of national strategic scientific and technological forces, and improve scientific research management and organizational mechanisms.
Xi Jinping emphasized the need to accelerate breakthroughs in basic research and tackling key core technologies.
The development of quantum technology depends on breakthroughs in basic theoretical research, and the formation of disruptive technologies is a process of accumulation.
It is necessary to coordinate the talents, bases and projects in the field of quantum science and technology, realize the integrated configuration of all elements, and accelerate the implementation of major quantum science and technology projects.
It is necessary to increase the research on key core technologies, defy difficulties and obstacles, bravely climb the scientific peak, and obtain a batch of high-level original results in the field of quantum technology.
Xi Jinping pointed out that it is necessary to cultivate a team of high-level talents.
Talents are the key to major inventions and disruptive technological innovations.
It is necessary to accelerate the cultivation of talents in the field of quantum science and technology, accelerate the cultivation of a group of high-end talents in the field of quantum science and technology, establish a special training plan that adapts to the development of quantum science and technology, and create a systematic and high-level quantum science and technology talent training platform.
It is necessary to focus on the frontier direction of quantum science and technology, strengthen the construction of relevant disciplines and curriculum systems, create a group of world-class scientists and leading talents who can grasp the general trend of world science and technology, and are good at overall coordination, and discover a group of innovative thinking active and daring to break into the "no man's land" Young talents and top talents.
It is necessary to establish a responsibility system for top scientists based on trust, give them full human and financial autonomy and decision-making power on technical routes, and encourage outstanding young talents to shoulder heavy responsibilities.
It is necessary to make good use of the "baton" of talent evaluation, improve the performance appraisal mechanism of scientific and technical personnel, liberate scientific research personnel's creative activities from unreasonable funding management, talent evaluation and other systems, and create an ecosystem that is conducive to stimulating innovation of scientific and technological talents.
Xi Jinping emphasized the need to promote collaborative innovation of industry, university and research.
It is necessary to improve the speed and efficiency of the transformation of quantum technology theoretical research results into practical and engineering, actively attract enterprises to participate in the development of quantum technology, guide more universities and research institutes to actively carry out quantum technology basic research and application research and development, and promote the deep integration of industry, university and research And collaborative innovation.
It is necessary to strengthen international cooperation in the field of quantum science and technology and raise the level and level of international cooperation in the field of quantum science and technology.
Xi Jinping pointed out that party committees and governments at all levels should attach great importance to the development of scientific and technological innovation, learn new knowledge, grasp new trends, do a good job in the layout of major scientific and technological tasks, optimize the allocation of scientific and technological resources, and take effective measures to ensure that the Party Central Committee’s major decisions on scientific and technological innovation and development are implemented. It worked.
It is necessary to give play to the role of macro guidance, overall coordination, and service guarantee, fully mobilize the polarity, initiative, and creativity of all parties, vigorously promote research on major scientific and technological tasks, and provide strong support for seizing the commanding heights of international competition in scientific and technological development and building new advantages in development.
