On July 3rd, China's new energy vehicles ushered in another major milestone in their development history - the 20th millionth vehicle being taken offline. This activity was guided by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, sponsored by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, and co organized by GAC Group and GAC Ai'an. The first mass-produced model of Haobo GT, a high-end brand under GAC Aian, was taken offline as the 20th millionth new energy vehicle in China. It is reported that the Haobo GT is equipped with a One Stop battery provided by China Innovation Airlines.According to the relevant person in charge of China Innovation Airlines, the energy density of the battery is up to 153Wh/kg, which is the Lithium iron phosphate battery package with the highest energy density in mass production in the industry. It can support the double energy supplement mode of charging and changing electricity. In addition, the battery also uses technologies such as thermoelectric separation, integrated firewall with absorption and insulation, combustible smoke management, etc., to achieve high safety and reliability of the battery system without fire.Headquartered in Jintan District, China Innovation Airlines will be listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on October 6, 2022, becoming the first leading new energy battery company to successfully land in Hong Kong shares. Under the guidance of the "leading strategy of products and technology", there have been more than 2100 patents, forming a patent layout covering battery materials, system integration, Battery recycling and regeneration and other technical fields, covering the whole battery industry chain, and walking out a "multiplier" development path of enterprises led by technological innovation.On June 28th, the "2023 Global Automotive Supply Chain Core Enterprise Competitiveness White Paper" was officially released, and China Innovation Airlines was listed among the "Top 100 Chinese Automotive Supply Chain Companies in 2023".Currently, Changzhou is taking advantage of the situation to build a "new energy capital" that leads the Yangtze River Delta, radiates nationwide, and has global influence. In 2022, the production of power batteries in Changzhou reached 108.5GWh, accounting for about half of the province and one-fifth of the country. We have formed an industrial pattern with Liyang Jintan as the two core areas and multiple support points in other regions. We have more than 130 battery production and supporting enterprises, covering 31 key links such as battery materials and battery system technology research and development. The integrity of the industrial chain has reached 97%.Changzhou DailyJuly 5, 2023

On June 27, the "Year of Investment in China" National Economic and Technological Development Zones special promotion and the 10th "Top 500 Development Zone Dialogue" event, sponsored by the Ministry of Commerce and the Jiangsu Provincial Government and undertaken by the Nanjing Municipal Government, the Investment Promotion Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce and the Provincial Department of Commerce, was held in Nanjing Jiangning Economic and Technological Development Zone. Leaders of over 130 national level economic development zones, executives of over 200 well-known multinational enterprises, and representatives of international organizations and key business associations gathered together to discuss industrial opportunities and investment prospects.At present, there are a total of 230 national level economic development zones in China, gathering over 4 million enterprises, including more than 30000 foreign-invested enterprises. The park economy has become an important engine for local development, and foreign investment has become an active factor in promoting industrial development. Jiangning Economic Development Zone has introduced 100 of the world's top 500 investment enterprises, fostered 58 listed enterprises, and formed four hundred billion level innovation industrial clusters of green smart cars, smart grids, new generation information technology, and high-end intelligent equipment. The Gross regional product is close to 200 billion yuan, and its comprehensive development level has ranked among the top ten national economic development zones for seven consecutive years.The widespread consensus among more and more multinational corporations is that 'investing in China, the first choice is economic development'. Wang Ya, Deputy Director of the Foreign Investment Department of the Ministry of Commerce, stated that the national level economic development zones have provided low-cost infrastructure sharing, high-quality production factor combinations, comprehensive industrial supporting services, and a first-class business environment for global investors to land projects in China. China's ultra large market has great growth potential, diverse supply and demand, and high openness. For many multinational corporations and global investors, investing in China is not an option, but a necessary option.

Recently, the State Council held an executive meeting to hear a report on the progress of optimizing the business environment and the next key measures.On the afternoon of June 14, the State Council Information Office held a regular briefing on the policies of the State Council, introducing the deepening of reform in key areas of business environment, and paying attention together!Q: What will be done to deepen the reform of key areas of the business environment?A:The National Development and Reform Commission, together with relevant departments, will deeply implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, focus on the prominent issues reflected by enterprises, accelerate the implementation of targeted policy measures in batches, deepen the reform of key areas of the business environment, further stabilize social expectations, boost development confidence, and stimulate market vitality. Highlight the three 'efforts'.One is to focus on deepening market-oriented reform and fully ensuring fair competition. We formulated the Regulations on the Review of Fair Competition and the Rules on the Review of Fair Competition in the Field of Tendering and Bidding, carried out a clean-up of policies and measures that hindered the Tongil Market and fair competition, and launched a special rectification of key issues in the field of tendering and bidding. Urge the banking industry to implement the credit plan for small and micro enterprises, and promote the continuous incremental expansion of inclusive small and micro enterprise loans.The second is to focus on strengthening the support of rule of law and effectively stabilizing enterprise expectations. Improve the top-level design of a legal business environment, and promote the construction of a legal business environment from various aspects such as legislation, law enforcement, judiciary, compliance, and legal popularization. Carry out special clean-up of fines. Accelerate the construction of data intellectual property protection rules and implement the inclusive project of intellectual property public services.Thirdly, we will focus on improving the level of internationalization and steadily expanding institutional openness. We will promote the construction of a new system for a higher level of Open economy, and promote institutional opening in conditional pilot free trade zones and free trade ports to meet international high standards. Continue to promote and serve foreign investment, and deepen the reform of customs clearance facilitation. Support Beijing Tianjin Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area, etc. to create a first-class business environment and drive the overall optimization of the national business environment.Q: What are the next key tasks to focus on narrowing the gap in business environment between regions?A:In recent years, various regions and departments have continuously increased their efforts in reforming key areas of the business environment, promoting the transformation of government functions towards reducing approvals, strengthening supervision, and providing excellent services, and continuously optimizing and improving the business environment. However, due to uneven basic conditions and development conditions, there are differences in the effectiveness of implementing business environment reform measures in different regions, and some places still have phenomena such as "complicated work, difficult inquiries, multi head running, and back and forth running". Next, we will focus on narrowing the gap in the business environment between regions and focus on three areas of work.One is to promote the acceleration of reform in weak regions.Guide and supervise the implementation of the "Regulations on Optimizing the Business Environment" in areas where the reform of the business environment is relatively lagging behind, focus on the universal and deep-seated issues reflected by business entities, accelerate the pace of reform, explore differentiated business environment optimization paths, enhance government service awareness and capabilities, and achieve the "last mile" of reform implementation and effectiveness.The second is to support the benchmarking of key regions with international advanced models and experiments.Continue to serve and safeguard the major national strategy, accelerate the promotion of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area and other areas to create a first-class business environment, improve quality and expand coverage from point to point, and lead and drive the benchmarking and advanced efforts to optimize the business environment.The third is to encourage local governments to tailor measures to local conditions and strive to create benchmarks in segmented fields.Fully considering the level of urban development and basic conditions, implementing policies tailored to local conditions and cities, and building more distinctive business environment brands, forming an innovative situation where hundreds of competitors compete for excellence.Q: What measures has the State Administration for Market Regulation taken in addressing illegal fees charged by enterprises?A:The State Administration for Market Regulation has taken multiple measures to comprehensively address the issue of illegal fees and effectively promote the implementation of various preferential policies for fee reduction and burden reduction. Firstly, we will continue to carry out rectification of illegal fees charged by enterprises in key areas. The second is to deploy the rectification and cross inspection of illegal fees related to enterprises this year. Focus on the inspection of government departments and subordinate units, the financial sector, public enterprises and other fields of charge, highlight the implementation of policy dividends, strictly investigate the illegal acts in the fields of administrative approval intermediary service charges, commercial bank mandatory charges, electric power engineering installation charges and other fields, and strive to reduce the cost of enterprise system Prostitution, financing costs and energy use costs. The third is to carry out a "look back" on the rectification of illegal fees related to enterprises.Q: What has the tax department done to optimize the business environment since the beginning of this year?A:One is to improve the implementation of tax and fee policies, and create a tax and business environment that benefits enterprises and reduces burden. We will fully implement the decisions and arrangements made by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council to continue and optimize the implementation of partial phased tax and fee preferential policies, ensuring that policy dividends are accurately and directly delivered to business entities. From January to April this year, the country added 468.9 billion yuan in tax reductions and deferred tax refunds.The second is to accelerate the intelligent handling of taxes and fees, and create a convenient and efficient tax business environment. Expand the scope of non-contact matters and pilot functions such as "intelligent pre filling" for value-added tax retention and refund, and "free filling" for export tax refund. At present, 96% of tax and fee matters and 99% of tax declarations can be processed online. The business volume of "online" and "handheld" social security payments in China accounts for over 95%.The third is to improve the efficiency of tax law enforcement and create a fair and predictable tax business environment.Q: How to promote high-level opening-up and enhance the level of trade and investment liberalization and facilitation?A:On January 1st of this year, the new version of the "Catalogue of Industries Encouraging Foreign Investment" was officially implemented, adding 239 new encouraged items, reaching a new high in history. The industries and fields that encourage foreign investment are further expanded. In the next step, we will fully integrate the international high standard market rule system, promote the construction of a new system of a higher level Open economy, and steadily expand the institutional openness of rules, regulations, management, standards, etc.·Introduce greater efforts to attract investment policies. On the basis of existing policies, we will study and introduce policies and measures to attract more foreign investment, optimize a fair competition environment, facilitate the flow of innovative factors, and promote practical cooperation between domestic and foreign enterprises.·Reasonably reduce the negative list of foreign investment access. Based on the evaluation of the implementation effect of the negative list of foreign investment access in recent years, we will deeply understand the demands of local governments and foreign-funded enterprises to expand foreign investment market access, and study measures such as reducing the negative list of foreign investment access in Hainan Free Trade Port.·Further promote and provide services for foreign investment. Continuing to hold a series of international industrial investment cooperation activities, providing a platform for multinational corporations to invest in China and attract local investment, improving the direct contact point mechanism for foreign-funded enterprises, unblocking communication channels, timely coordinating and solving problems and reasonable demands reported by enterprises, and providing convenience for enterprise investment and production and operation.Q: What are the new measures taken by customs in serving the innovative development of foreign trade?A:On June 12th, the General Administration of Customs launched 16 measures to optimize the business environment within the scope of customs responsibilities, among which the measures for innovative development of service foreign trade are mainly reflected in the "three better".Firstly, better support the sustained and healthy development of new business formats.Focusing on the needs of enterprises, we will carry out comprehensive reforms in cross-border e-commerce customs supervision in an orderly manner, and enhance the standardization level of cross-border e-commerce online shopping bonded import and export supervision. In response to the pain points of enterprise returns, we will optimize measures for cross-border e-commerce import and export returns, improve and upgrade the functions of the return center warehouse, pilot the cross-border e-commerce online shopping, bonded retail, and import cross customs return model, study and expand the pilot of cross-border e-commerce general export goods cross customs return, and solve the problem of enterprise returns. In addition, we strongly support the development of new forms of bonded maintenance and expand the scope of bonded maintenance business.Secondly, to better serve the innovative development of processing trade and other related industries.Innovate the customs supervision mechanism, optimize operational procedures, further promote the facilitation of processing trade, promote the sustained and healthy development of processing trade, and stabilize the industrial chain supply chain. At the same time, we will accelerate the comprehensive reform of the comprehensive bonded zone, study and introduce a new round of measures to support the high-quality development of the comprehensive bonded zone, further improve policies, expand functions, simplify procedures, and optimize services. In addition, it also optimized the supervision of border trade, implemented relevant facilitation customs clearance measures for the processed goods of border trade, and promoted the innovative development of Border trade.Thirdly, better stimulate the innovation vitality of enterprises.Firstly, focus on stimulating the growth vitality of "specialized, refined, and innovative" enterprises, and strengthen the cultivation of "specialized, refined, and innovative" enterprise growth. At the same time, we will further expand the scope of application of the proactive disclosure policy, give compliant enterprises a lighter, mitigated or no administrative penalty in accordance with the law, and reduce and remit the payment of Late fee in accordance with the law, so as to provide enterprises with a convenient channel for fault tolerance, error correction and law compliance. Fully leverage the important role of intellectual property customs protection in protecting enterprise innovation, strengthen intellectual property customs protection, and protect the innovative development of law-abiding enterprises.Chinese government websiteJune 14, 2023

According to foreign media reports, a Thai government official revealed that the country is in talks with China's Ningde Times and other battery manufacturers to build battery production facilities in Thailand. Thailand, the second largest economy in Southeast Asia, hopes to boost the adoption and production of electric vehicles by offering incentives such as tax breaks and subsidies to become a regional hub for electric vehicle production and a key player in the global electric vehicle supply chain outside of China."We are in talks with many companies, not only Ningde Times but many others in the battery industry," said Naritat Steerasukdi, secretary general of the Board of Investment of Thailand (BOI). "We want to attract battery manufacturers to set up factories in Thailand, which is one of our goals." Narit didn't give details and it wasn't clear how far the talks had progressed.Ningde Times did not immediately respond to a request for comment.　　Last year, CatL announced a strategic partnership with ARUNPLUS, a subsidiary of Thai energy giant PTTPcl, to "explore potential cooperation and development opportunities in battery-related businesses in the region." ARUNPLUS is part of PTT's joint venture with Foxconn, which is building a plant with the goal of producing electric vehicles in Thailand as early as 2024.Thailand is the world's 10th largest car manufacturer, with production dominated by Japanese carmakers including Toyota and Isuzu. According to a government plan, Thailand aims to convert 30 percent of its annual capacity of 2.5 million vehicles to electric vehicles by 2030.Over the past few years, Thailand has attracted investment from a number of electric vehicle companies, including Chinese automakers such as Great Wall Motor and BYD. In addition, Thailand wants to attract electric vehicle suppliers, including local production of key components such as batteries and charging points. Narit revealed that the Thai government aims to directly support and subsidize large battery production facilities, with priority given to those with a capacity of more than 8 gigawatt hours (GWh), which is large enough to power more than 106,000 electric vehicles equipped with 75 KWH batteries.Catl is the world's dominant battery supplier with 37% of the global market share. The company has been expanding rapidly overseas and has contracts with Ford Motor Co, Honda Motor Co and BMW, among others. Its batteries also power Volkswagen's I.D series and Tesla cars made in China.Currently, the company has 13 battery production centers, including 11 in China, one in Hungary and one in Germany, where its 14GWh plant near Erfurt, Germany, began ramping up production this year. However, the Ningde era has no production facilities in Southeast Asia.

My friend Professor Yu Zucheng said to me: I never expected that Zibo would emerge from the economic dilemma after the epidemic. As a Shandong native, I am very happy to hear this. For some time, the reputation of Shandong people has not been very good.But surprisingly, Zibo in 2023 actually destroyed some of my stereotypes. Zibo, suddenly let me feel both strange and familiar. The barbecue in Zibo actually burned the whole of China to the boil, and the whole network was baked hot. Zibo has become a big mystery in my heart of Shandong people. Because in my impression, there are not many cities in Shandong that dare to do things like Zibo to hide wealth from the people and dare to say no to a one-off deal.With the benefit of hindsight, we can say there are many reasons for Zibo's emergence in 2023. But there are several reasons that I, a Shandong native, find unforgettable.Zibo's barbecue has a long history, while other cities rely on civilized means to "squeeze" the barbecue out of the urban space in the logic of fine management, Zibo's barbecue has miraculously survived. My sister, who works in Zibo, told me that the local government has never banned barbecue on the grounds of environmental protection and refined management. I think this is both the grace of Zibo, but also the temperature of Zibo.Surviving the barbecue is just a premise, not enough to make Zibo out of the ring. Therefore, some people said that after the end of the epidemic, the local government felt that the college students who were isolated in Zibo had suffered a lot during the anti-epidemic period, so they invited them to have a barbecue. Later, these lovely college students spread the news widely through the Internet, which directly contributed to the birth of Zibo, the barbecue capital. This story can be corroborated in the soulful promotion video of the director of the Zibo Tourism Bureau. I prefer to believe that this is a true story. The reason for Zibo's emergence in 2023 is actually the word "benevolence and righteousness", and behind Zibo barbecue is "benevolence and righteousness economy". This story is the starting point of creating a "benevolent and righteous economy". In fact, a truly mature market economy is by no means extremely selfish and greedy. As a Shandong native, I have been thinking, that is, once the Shandong people transform "benevolence and justice" into "benevolence and justice economy", they may be invincible in the world. The indifference of big cities is the synonym of the consciousness of rules. It can also be said that the indifference of big cities is the manifestation of the lack of modern professional ethics. I have seen firsthand how a young mother with a two-year-old child pushing a stroller would cram the child into the car and how she would struggle to get the stroller into the trunk of a taxi. It was when the young mother was scrambling to take care of the safety of the child while placing the stroller, the taxi driver sat in the driving seat with an extremely cold expression and eyes looking straight ahead, and what had just happened had nothing to do with him. When I wanted to help, the young mother had been placed in place, and I watched the cold scene with a pang of sadness in my heart. How did our city get to this point? How come our work ethic is as blank as a blank sheet of paper? But in Zibo, I saw a different picture. Behind the grand barbecue scene, is the release of Shandong's "benevolence and justice economy" huge energy, is to show Shandong people's "benevolence and justice wind" of the modern scene.Another phenomenon that reminds me of Zibo's emergence is the collapse of the "center-edge" system in the Internet era. In the Internet era, there is no fixed, rigid center and edge division, a third-line, fourth-line city can also become the "capital of the world" with unique issues, Zibo is not the world famous barbecue capital? This is the magic of the Internet age, which is also unimaginable in the pre-Internet era. Of course, in the Internet era, the "world center" shaped by a certain issue may be a flash in the pan, and it is likely to be quickly replaced, dissolved, and melted in the huge bubble of the Internet. But as the Zibo people say, even if it is a flash in the pan, it must be the most beautiful one.If the barbecue in Zibo begins with "benevolence and righteousness", then the local government and people in Zibo will spare no effort to support and end with "benevolence and righteousness". From the beginning of Zibo to the present, the "benevolence and justice economy" behind Zibo barbecue has blossomed everywhere and shone brightly. Such a benevolent and righteous economy can only take root and sprout in Shandong and soar to the sky. I dare say that it would never have taken root anywhere else. Because a benevolent and righteous economy like Zibo needs many conditions, such as scientific government, rational decision-making and accurate positioning, the cultivation of honest and simple social sentiment and the support of altruism. It is precisely these conditions that are not available in many places. Of course, this is just my intuition as a Shandong person.Today, we can say that the barbecue economy of Zibo has evolved into the benevolence economy of reforming the government and the people, and the barbecue in Zibo has also evolved from simple consumption to the re-cultivation of social relations, the re-formation of social connections, the re-release of social care, and the re-emergence of social mutual assistance. Zibo has quietly changed from the "capital of barbecue" to a "capital of benevolence and justice". As a Shandong native from the ancient land of Shandong, I seem to have a hunch that the spring of Shandong will truly come only when the people of Shandong transform benevolence and justice into the cornerstone, rules and systems that support the modern market economy.

The Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting on April 28 to analyze the current economic situation and economic work.The meeting stressed the need to comprehensively deepen reform and expand opening-up at a high level. We will earnestly implement the reform plan for Party and state institutions and modernize the country's governance system and capacity. We should attach greater importance to attracting foreign investment and maintain the basic level of foreign investment in foreign trade. We should support qualified pilot free trade zones and free trade ports in integrating with high-standard international economic and trade rules, and carry out pilot reforms and opening up.

Recently, the artificial intelligence program ChatGPT has gone viral on the Internet because of its "erudite knowledge" and "answer questions". The generative AI represented by ChatGPT has strong content generation ability and the "intelligence" level of human beings, and its application in the military field is bound to have an impact on future wars.Significantly improved battlefield awareness. In future wars, various new types of rapid killing weapons will further accelerate the rhythm of the battlefield, requiring continuous improvement of battlefield situational awareness capabilities, and thus supporting rapid decision-making to meet the needs of the battlefield. In the battlefield space full of "fog", in the face of massive multi-source, complex heterogeneous and rapidly growing battlefield situation data, human perception speed and processing ability appear to be "slow". The large visual model architecture introduced in recent years, through unsupervised pre-training and human feedback reinforcement learning paradigm, has made breakthroughs in many fields such as image classification, object detection, semantic segmentation, pose estimation, image editing and remote sensing image interpretation, which can significantly improve battlefield perception. Intelligent weapons embedded with large visual models can accurately identify and distinguish the primary and secondary, true and false targets through the visual system, quickly extract and generate high-value intelligence from massive multi-modal data, reduce the cognitive load of combatants, and form a comprehensive, timely and accurate judgment of the situation. Using the perceptual advantages of generative AI to achieve accurate positioning of key nodes may be the premise of launching combat operations in the future.Greatly promote human-computer interaction. Human-computer interaction allows machines to "hear" human language, "see" human actions and expressions, "understand" human emotions and intentions, and present the calculation process and results in a way that is easy for humans to understand. The large language model can not only perform well in text understanding scenarios such as sentiment analysis, speech recognition, and information extraction, but also apply to the visualization generation scenarios of battlefield information systems such as picture description generation, book manuscript generation, and dialogue generation. If it is embedded in the integrated joint combat system and continues to evolve iteratively, it can be used for more complex work such as planning, operation plan generation, exercise results evaluation, and so on, and may reshape the command decision-making process in future wars. By deeply embedding the generative AI application of ChatGPT into the command information system, the intelligent equipment can "understand" the instructions, accurately understand and analyze the operational requirements of the commander through the man-machine dialogue between the commander and the battlefield information system, and generate action reference schemes on this basis, providing a new means for the rapid and reasonable allocation of combat forces in the future war.Promote the autonomy of command decision-making. In information-based and intelligent war, the participating forces are diverse, the combat styles are diverse, and the battlefield situation is changing, and the commanders are facing the "bottleneck" of insufficient intelligence in effectively conducting the war. With the help of the intelligent auxiliary system of decision-making large model, the "man-machine" mixed decision-making mode may become a new choice. Although from the current level of technology, ChatGPT class generative AI applications are still unable to perform machine control, group collaboration, dynamic scheduling and other operations. However, its powerful parallel processing ability, which can handle thousands of tasks at the same time, is suitable for integrating human/unmanned platforms, generating control algorithms, optimizing group behavior, and fully supporting "swarm", "fish" and "Wolf pack" combat multi-agents. The command and control system based on decision large model can give full play to the advantages of both human brain and artificial intelligence, and realize the leap from intelligent prediction to intelligent decision, and from controlling single agent to multi-agent. In the future battlefield, the embedding of generative AI into the unmanned combat platform can innovate a new paradigm of military operations and greatly improve combat effectiveness.A new model of logistics support has been created. From the perspective of scientific and technological development, military force confrontation is increasingly expanding to the full dimensions of the physical domain, the information domain and the cognitive domain, the combat space is extending to the extremely high, extremely far and extremely deep all-round, and the corresponding logistics support tasks are becoming more diversified and complex. In the future battlefield, the multi-mission general large-scale model will be integrated into the unmanned combat platform and various support systems, and people, equipment and objects will be interconnected, and various combat and support entities will be organically integrated. The logistics support system realizes intelligent matching between people and materials, materials and equipment, materials and troops, and materials and regions through deep learning analysis of big data such as the quantity, time, and maintenance of materials in storage, and automatically predicts material demand, matches better delivery vehicles, develops better transportation plans, and timely solves problems in the battlefield logistics supply link. Especially in the face of extreme combat support that is difficult for personnel to reach such as complex terrain, contaminated areas, and fire control areas, based on a large number of pre-training samples for special tasks, the generated AI can realize changes in demand perception, resource allocation, and action control, and independently assign tasks, plan paths, and navigate and position. The guarantee materials will be directly and accurately distributed to the guarantee objects in a "point-to-point" way to achieve intelligent guarantee.

Xu Yuan, Academician Yu Dabeng's team from Southern University of Science and Technology, together with Zheng Shibiao from Fuzhou University and Sun Muyan from Tsinghua University, have made breakthrough experimental progress in the field of quantum error correction based on superconducting quantum circuit system. The results were published March 23 in Nature.The joint team extended the storage time of quantum information through the real-time repeated quantum error correction technology, exceeding the break-even point for the first time in the world, demonstrating the advantage of quantum error correction. This breakthrough is a key step towards making scalable universal quantum computing practical.Since the error rate of quantum computer system is much higher than that of classical digital computer, quantum error correction is necessary to build a universal quantum computer with practical value, because quantum error correction can effectively protect quantum information from environmental noise interference. In the traditional quantum error correction scheme, encoding a logical qubit requires multiple redundant physical bits, which not only requires huge hardware resource overhead, but also the number of error channels will increase significantly with the increase of the number of bits, which may "correct more and more errors". Previously, there have been a number of demonstrative experimental research work on this problem, but it has not really exceeded the break-even point, that is, the effect after quantum error correction is far from the best value of the system without error correction, and can not produce positive quantum error correction gain.To overcome the above problems, the joint research team uses infinite dimensional Hilbert space in microwave simple harmonic oscillator or bose-mode system to realize redundant encoding and quantum error correction of quantum information. In the superconducting quantum circuit system, the quantum error correction scheme based on Bose code has the advantages of simple error type, convenient error detection, good coherence performance, more efficient hardware and easy feedback control.In this study, by developing quantum systems with high coherence performance, designing error symptom detection methods with low error rate, and improving and optimizing quantum error correction technology and other experimental means, the research team finally realized binomial coding logical qubits based on discrete variables in Bose mode, and extended the storage time of quantum information through the real-time repeated quantum error correction process. For the first time, the results exceeded the best value of the system without error correction, breaking the break-even point.According to reports, this is the first time in the world to extend the storage time of quantum information beyond the break-even point through the active repeated error detection and error correction process, which is of landmark significance.Related paper information:https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-05784-4

【 World tide of scientific and technological Innovation 】"Flying cars" are widely seen as the next generation of transportation. The first outdoor manned test flight took place in Oita city in southwestern Japan on February 17, bringing the new vehicle one step closer to "flying" to reality.The test flight was led by the Okayamakura Shikushima Aerospace Industry Research Institute (MASC), a private group. Nikkei Asian Review said the successful test flight was a major step forward for a technology seen as serving remote islands and mountainous areas lacking transportation.However, MASC is not the only group in Japan responsible for flying and other businesses, Japan's All Nippon Airways Holding Company, Japan Airlines and other companies are further developing "flying cars". Nor is Japan the only country dabbling in the blue ocean market for "flying cars." Companies around the world are already competing around this new direction of mobility change.Japan's two-seater "flying car" was successfully tested on February 17. Photo credit: Nikkei Asian Review Japan's first manned flight was successfulAccording to the Japan Times, about 400 people gathered at Tanura Beach in Oita City to watch the test flight of the "flying car", which is the first manned outdoor flight approved by Japan's Ministry of Land, Transport and Tourism.After rising to an altitude of about 30 meters above the ground, the "flying car" circled at a speed of 36 kilometers per hour, and the flight lasted about 3.5 minutes.The "flying car", which can carry two passengers, was tested using a Chinese-made two-seater "flying car" based on drone technology."The flight was comfortable, without any shaking, and only a slight vibration was felt during the hover." "The flight was like sitting in a car," said MASC Chairman Koji Kirino, who was riding in the flying car.Oita Mayor Kiichiro Sato said that from a technical point of view, "flying cars" have reached a point where they can be put into practical use. He called for the "flying car" to be put into commercial use in Oita by 2025.Japan is aiming for the country's first commercial flight of a "flying car" at Expo 2025 in Osaka. In addition, the Japanese government will create a new pilot license for "flying cars" and a license for mechanics to repair "flying cars."The United States tests electric air taxis.

Blade chief technology Officer Brandon Keane said the plane can take off and land like a helicopter, with lifting rotors on its wings, but it can cruise no faster than an airplane.The Alia-250 can be fully charged in 50 minutes, and when fully charged, the aircraft can carry a pilot and five passengers for about 460 kilometers. Its noise level is only one-tenth that of a typical rotorcraft.On February 22, Australia's highly efficient long-range eVTOL aircraft Vertiia successfully completed its first test flight.

The flight is an important milestone for zero-emission aircraft.Vertiia can fly up to 1,000 kilometers, three times the range of any eVTOL aircraft. The company expects to begin delivering products to customers in the aeromedicine, cargo, emergency and regional air traffic sectors in 2026 after certification, which will make medical services more accessible in remote areas and bring new modes of care to local populations.CEO Andrew Moore said Vertiia's unique "box wing" design is based on the box kite, which was invented nearly 130 years ago by Australian aviation pioneer Lawrence Hargrave."When Vertiia goes up, we feel the adrenaline rush." Moore said the Vertiia prototype flew better than they expected, and the flight was smooth and enjoyable.The company will now conduct more test flights and begin CASA certification, and Vertiia will also be on display at the Aerospace and Defence Exhibition in Melbourne, Australia, from February 28 to March 5, 2023.
