Emails from overseas scientists keep arriving in Li Gang's inbox, often carrying the same message: when will the experiment station reopen?
The associate researcher at the Institute of Physics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences is currently overseeing the platform for quantum control at one of China's most advanced research facilities — Synergetic Extreme Condition User Facility in Beijing's Huairou Science City.
Among those waiting are research teams from some of the world's leading institutions, including the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge in England.
"We hosted our first international users in 2023, and the Cambridge team was among them," Li said. "Based on experiments conducted here, they have already published two high-level papers. Their fourth visit to Huairou is already scheduled for September."
