At present, Beijing is speeding up the construction of a national science and technology innovation center and helping the building of an innovative nation.Undoubtedly, the establishment of Beijing Institute of Quantum and Information Science will inject new vitality into Beijing's all-round innovation centered on science and technology.
On the afternoon of the founding of the Institute, the municipal government organized a seminar on accelerating the construction of the Beijing Institute of Quantum and Information Science on the 'On-the-go' approach. Academician Wang Engo, vice president of CAS, Li Shushen, director of the Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, President Xu Beibin of Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Academician Gong Qihuang, Vice-Chancellor of Peking University, Academician Yao Zhizhi, Dean of the Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Studies of Tsinghua University, and Pi Mingyong, vice president of the Academy of Military Science, gathered together to discuss the issue of " Beijing Municipal Government and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Military Sciences, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics signed the "Beijing Institute of Quantum and Information Technology Cooperation Framework Agreement." Under the agreement, the six parties will be guided by 'strategic direction, Complementing each other's advantages and sharing resources ". The two sides should cooperate with each other in establishing the mechanism of stock resource integration and new resources sharing, the double-employment mechanism of talents, the mechanism of intellectual property rights sharing, and the landing of major national tasks jointly to promote the construction of the Institute.
The institute will aim at the national strategic needs and actively assume the tasks of national science and technology innovation 2030- "quantum communication and quantum computer" major projects and so on, to produce a batch of world-class major original innovations and strive to be incorporated into the national laboratory of quantum information as soon as possible. The institutional mechanisms conducive to the original innovation and the conversion of achievements will promote the birth of more scientific research achievements in the institute and promote the transformation of the achievements of the scientific research institutes in the 'three cities and one district'.
Xue Qi-kun introduced the Institute's long-term goal is to focus on the world's quantum physics and quantum information forefront of the country and quantum information technology in areas such as the urgent need of the strategic focus on quantum computing, quantum computers, quantum communication and quantum precision measurement devices, To overthrow the 'fence' and let the ministries and commissions and departments establish a research institute at a completely new level and be open to the public at home and abroad.
At the forum, Chen Jining, deputy secretary of municipal party committee and acting mayor, emphasized:
The construction of Beijing Institute of Quantum and Information Science is to thoroughly implement the spirit of the 19th CPC Congress and General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected the spirit of Beijing's important speech and profoundly understand and grasp the major judgments that China's economy has shifted from a phase of rapid growth to a phase of high-quality development and implement innovations Is to lead the development of the first power of an important measure.Constructing a science and technology innovation center with global influence isBeijing's advantage and responsibility mission.Government departments at all levels in the city should promote the formation of a good mechanism to open up the 'wall' and strengthen the research units To promote the deep integration of industry and basic research to form a cross-disciplinary research mechanism. To provide good services to optimize the supporting services such as household registration management, housing security, medical treatment and children's education; strengthen intellectual property protection and promote the integration of innovative elements. It is necessary to create a better environment, create a more open pattern, gather the world's top talent and excellent research teams, look forward to the long term, create an environment conducive to the growth of young innovative entrepreneurs, and train a batch of young scientists and technicians with an international perspective.

What's new mechanism?
The Institute is an independent legal person institution initiated and established by the Beijing Municipal Government, with uncertain institutional specifications and no staffing establishment. The institute implements the system of president-in-charge under the leadership of the council.
On the operational mechanism, we will actively carry out innovation in institutional mechanisms in terms of dual employment of personnel, integration of stock and resources, and intellectual property rights sharing so as to better protect the construction and development of the Institute.
On the introduction and cultivation of talents, we have broken the original mode of staffing and salary standardization of scientific research institutes, implemented the personnel employment system and flexible remuneration system in line with international scientific research institutions, and guided the researchers in relevant fields at home and abroad to lead full- Dual-hired way to participate in the Institute, to promote the free flow of talent.
Establish a collaborative innovation of stock and new resources, benefit sharing mechanism, try to virtualize existing resources, share existing resources, and improve utilization efficiency.
To explore and establish a mechanism for sharing intellectual property rights, the proceeds from the formation of intellectual property will be tilted toward front-line researchers. Quantum information research and achievement conversion funds will be set up by attracting social funds and specialized service agencies will be introduced to promote the transfer of achievements.
