Abstract  Quantum information science and technology is one of the most advanced academic fields today. Although China started late, Chinese scientists, such as Guo Guangcan, Pan Jianwei and Du Jiangfeng of USTC, grasped the opportunity to participate in international competition, and made important achievements in many aspects of the quantum information field. On the basis of discussing this process from certain perspectives, the author briefly analyzes national, institutional and individual aspects that may account for the flourishing of China's quantum information technology.
