China's quantum slogan

Mozi quantum science experimental satellite was successfully launched by Long March II carrier rocket in Jiuquan on August 6, 20 16 1: 40. The successful launch of this mission marks another important step in China's space science research. ?

Academician Pan Jianwei, chief scientist of China Quantum Satellite, said that if the ground quantum communication has built a "net" connecting every city and every information transmission point, then the quantum science experimental satellite is like a "javelin" shooting this net into space. When this global quantum communication "heaven and earth network" is woven, massive information comes and goes in it, which is "unconditionally" safe.

On 20th1765438+1October18th, Mozi, the world's first experimental satellite for quantum science, successfully completed its four-month on-orbit test mission and was officially delivered to users. Relevant leaders of China University of Science and Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences and other units signed the delivery certificate.

Mozi naming reason:

The first quantum communication satellite was named after Mozi, an ancient scientist in China. Mozi first put forward the viewpoint that light propagates along a straight line, and conducted pinhole imaging experiments. Named after him to commemorate his early achievements in physical optics. ?

Mozi discovered that light travels in a straight line for the first time through pinhole imaging experiments, and explained it scientifically for the first time-this is a very important principle in optics and laid a certain foundation for the development of quantum communication. Mozi also put forward a particle theory in a sense. The experimental satellite of optical quantum science is named after China sage Mozi, which reflects China's cultural self-confidence.
