This exclusive report reveals Shanghai's ambitious plan to establish the world's first metropolitan-scale quantum network by 2028.
Shanghai's Zhangjiang High-Tech Park has become ground zero for China's quantum revolution, with three groundbreaking developments:
1) Infrastructure Milestones:
• 42km quantum fiber backbone already operational in Pudong
• 8 quantum satellite ground stations under construction
新夜上海论坛 • First commercial quantum key distribution (QKD) network serving 38 banks
2) Research Breakthroughs:
• Shanghai Jiao Tong University achieved 512-qubit processor
上海品茶网 • 73% improvement in quantum memory coherence time
• World record in quantum teleportation distance (28km)
3) Industrial Applications:
上海娱乐联盟 • Quantum-secured power grid protects 60% of Yangtze Delta electricity
• Port logistics optimized with quantum algorithms (17% efficiency gain)
• Pharmaceutical companies accelerating drug discovery
The project's scientific director Dr. Wei Luxin explains: "We're not just building technology - we're creating an entirely new secure communications paradigm." With ¥28B invested and 4,200 specialists recruited, Shanghai's quantum ambitions could redefine global tech leadership in the coming decade.
