China: Progressive Disability – Expanding the limits of Quantum Information! (30.10.2026)

During his three years as a master’s student, Wang developed a keen interest in quantum information, leading him to pursue a PhD under the guidance of professor He Kan.

He only asked if Wang could use a computer normally, and upon receiving an affirmative answer, welcomed him wholeheartedly. The university provided special accommodation, including a single dorm room with a private bathroom, to facilitate his studies and daily life.

The path of research was not without obstacles. Professor Meng Xiangyi from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the United States became a crucial ally. Wang found himself stuck at a critical point in his research, unable to find a breakthrough. “When I was at a loss, I organized my problems and sent an email to Professor Meng,” he said.
