News

• ❯ [4/2025] I feel deeply honored and grateful to receive the 2025 CSC Outstanding Research Award. Thank you to the department for the recognition and support!
• ❯ [1/2025] Our paper on cost-efficient quantum networking was accepted by IEEE QCNC 2025, to be held in Nara, Japan.
• ❯ [12/2024] Our paper on satellite-based quantum network was accepted by IEEE INFOCOM 2025 (AR: 272/1458=18.7%), to be held in London, UK. This paper presents a fully passive optics-based satellite quantum network architecture with lightpath provisioning, with potentially significant rate advantages and low cost over existing architectures.
