From July 13 to 14, 2024, the 2024 Annual Conference on Quantum Cryptography was held in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. Ph.D student Jingyuan Liu gave a flash talk titled “Reconfigurable quantum key distribution network via pump management”, introducing our recent research on constructing a reconfigurable entanglement distribution network and realizing a quantum key distribution network. The work of our team has received extensive attention from the participants.

The 2024 Annual Conference on Quantum Cryptography was jointly hosted by the Quantum Cryptography Committee of the Chinese Association for Cryptologic Research and Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications. The conference aims to bring together experts, scholars, industry elites, engineering and technical personnel, and graduate students engaged in academic research, application technology development, and product evaluation in the field of quantum cryptography in China to discuss the main issues, latest achievements, academic hotspots, technical trends, and development trends of quantum cryptography, and promote mutual exchanges and cooperation in the field of quantum cryptography science and technology.
