(Ten years in China, people in Sri Lanka) "Post-90s" He Yu chased his dream "Quantum Road" for ten years
China News Agency, Hefei, May 23rd: "Post-90s" He Yu chases his dream "Quantum Road" for ten years
China News Agency reporter Wu Lan
"I actually wanted to be a scientist before, but then I went to the industrial road of 'not doing a good job'." He Yu, who was born in 1992, said that he has been on the road of quantum industry for ten years.
On May 17, at Guoyi Quantum (Hefei) Technology Co., Ltd. in Hefei, Anhui Province, He Yu was introducing China's first commercial pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometer independently developed by the Guoyi Quantum team.

He Yu, Chairman of Guoyi Quantum (Hefei) Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Guoyi Quantum").
As China's leading team engaged in the research and development of quantum precision measurement and high-end scientific instruments, Guoyi Quantum originated from the team of the Key Laboratory of Microscopic Magnetic Resonance of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China, and is committed to building the world's leading quantum measurement advanced instrument enterprise.
A report ignites the heart of "making rituals for the country"
Quantum information technology is becoming the frontier of a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation.
In 2009, He Yu was admitted to the Junior College of the University of Science and Technology of China.
During the school, an academic report by Academician Du Jiangfeng, a well-known scientist in the field of quantum science and technology, opened the door to He Yu's entrepreneurial "quantum".

"At the report meeting, Mr. Du gave an example that his laboratory needed to purchase an electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometer produced by a foreign company, but encountered the dilemma of temporary price increases by suppliers and difficult after-sales guarantee." He Yu said , "Electron paramagnetic resonance technology is very important to the research in the field of quantum computing. Mr. Du believes that it is very necessary to manufacture domestic scientific instruments."
The second day after listening to the report, He Yu found Mr. Du, hoping to participate in the cause of revitalizing the national scientific instrument industry.
"Under the arrangement of Mr. Du, I began to participate in the development and technical research of paramagnetic resonance spectrometer, and developed some teaching instruments to accumulate experience in industrialization." He said.
"Starting a business was seen as an outlier at that time." He Yu's first startup failed due to lack of experience.
Be confident and start again
On April 26, 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected the University of Science and Technology of China and encouraged researchers to "take innovation as the biggest policy, catch up and catch up".
He Yu said that this made him feel excited and devoted himself to the industrialization of quantum technology and scientific instruments.
In 2016, Guoyi Quantum (Hefei) Technology Co., Ltd. was registered and established, dedicated to the research and development and industrialization of quantum precision measurement, quantum computing and other technologies and high-end scientific instruments.

"Quantum precision measurement technology is a measurement technology that uses quantum technology to measure physical quantities with higher resolution and higher precision. Quantum precision measurement instruments are a ruler in the microscopic world."
According to He Yu, first of all, it will bring a new generation of detection and diagnosis technology in the fields of medical health and life sciences.
It can measure the extremely weak magnetic field signal generated by the human heart in a non-invasive way to realize early screening of coronary heart disease; in drug development, through precise measurement of the concentration of special markers in the blood of recovered patients after medication, The effect of medication can be tracked for patients, and the possibility of disease recurrence can be judged and evaluated.
In addition, in the industrial field, quantum precision measurement technology can realize rapid non-destructive quality inspection of industrial products.

In 2018, China's first commercial pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometer independently developed by the Guoyi Quantum team came out.
Subsequently, the world's first quantum diamond atomic force microscope, diamond quantum computer teaching computer and many other products were launched.
In 2021, the sales contract of Guoyi Quantum will exceed 200 million yuan, and overseas delivery will be realized.
He Yu said: "Now, as the innovation atmosphere continues to become stronger and stronger, scientists in some laboratories have also begun to move from behind the scenes to the front, and entrepreneurship by scientists has become a trend."
Help Quantum Future Technology City
There is a "Quantum Avenue" in Hefei High-tech Zone, and core enterprises such as Guoyi Quantum, Guodun Quantum, and Yuanyuan Quantum have settled here.
It is understood that at present, Hefei High-tech Zone has gathered more than 40 "quantum field" enterprises.
The newly released "Future Industry Development Plan" of the district makes it clear that it will strive to create a "scientific research + industry" double height of quantum information technology, and will actively apply for the construction of a "Quantum Future Technology City" with the goal of building a "World Quantum Center".

Recently, the Quantum Science Valley and Guoyi Quantum Headquarters Base started construction in Hefei High-tech Zone. The base will continue to focus on the field of high-end scientific instruments, with the superior technology of quantum precision measurement as the core, to create a cluster demonstration base for the transformation and industrialization of scientific instrument industry achievements .
He Yu said that "Quantum Scientific Instrument Valley" is the R&D headquarters of Guoyi Quantum. Guoyi Quantum will not forget the original intention of "making instruments for the country", and will create advanced independent high-end scientific instruments to accelerate the industrialization of quantum precision measurement technology. , empowering all walks of life.
