以科研条件平台建设聚才引智, 促进微纳光机电与量子技术交叉创新

[Objective] This study uses the Cross-Science Center for Optical Quantum and Nano-Electromechanical Integration at the Beijing Institute of Technology as a case study to comprehensively examine the critical function of advanced scientific research platforms in talent aggregation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and technological innovation. In the context of intense global competition in quantum technology and micro/nano optoelectromechanical systems (MOEMS), the center addresses critical technological bottlenecks in high-end chips and ultra-sensitive sensors that are currently constrained by foreign monopolies. By systematically integrating state-of-the-art resources in MOEMS and quantum technologies, a comprehensive innovation chain has been established, encompassing fundamental research, key technological breakthroughs, and applied transformations. [Methods] The center integrates the high-precision characteristics of optical quantum devices with the miniaturization advantages of nano-electromechanical systems, focusing on three key research directions: quantum functional materials, optical quantum state modulation, and nano optoelectromechanical systems. The center has been supported by three national and provincial-level research platforms, and it employs an innovative “talent-platform synergy” mechanism. As a result, the center has assembled a high-caliber research team comprising 16 core members (including 13 national-level talents). The team has achieved a series of groundbreaking accomplishments, including the publication of over 20 papers in prominent scientific journals such as Nature and Science, and their sub-journals. They have also successfully developed optoelectronic modulation chips with complete indigenous intellectual property rights, which were featured in special reports on CCTV. Furthermore, the team has undertaken more than 20 national key research and development projects and has secured a cumulative research funding exceeding 60 million yuan. These achievements have effectively resolved critical technological bottlenecks in quantum sensing and high-end chips, while also providing robust support for addressing national strategic demands and fostering interdisciplinary innovation. [Results] The center has achieved groundbreaking advances in several domains, such as ① developing the world’s first in-situ nano-kirigami three-dimensional micro/nano fabrication technology, thereby overcoming the limitations of conventional processing architectures; ② fabricating optoelectronic modulation chips with complete domestic intellectual property, thereby disrupting foreign technological monopolies; ③ creating biological quantum trace detection technology, thereby enabling the rapid and precise identification of ultralow-concentration toxic agents and biological pathogens; ④ achieving the first experimental observation of pristine Majorana anyons in iron-based high-temperature superconductors, thereby establishing a fundamental basis for anyon research; ⑤ synthesizing exceptionally clean twisted graphene nanoribbons under ultrahigh vacuum conditions, thereby extending the scope of twistronics from two-dimensional (2D) to one-dimensional systems; and ⑥ developing an ultracompact, highly sensitive silicon-based graphene 2D nano-electromechanical accelerometer prototype, which represents the world’s first functional graphene accelerometer. These accomplishments are of considerable scientific value and provide innovative solutions for strategic national domains, including advanced semiconductor chips and biosecurity. [Conclusions] A close examination of the extant research demonstrates that the platform has successfully established a unique research ecosystem through the implementation of optimized resource allocation strategies and innovative management mechanisms. This environment facilitates deep interdisciplinary integration between micro/nano photonics and quantum science at fundamental levels; it also effectively promotes breakthroughs in critical technologies for high-value industrial applications, such as high-end chips and ultra-sensitive sensors. The findings yielded valuable theoretical frameworks and practical insights for establishing next-generation interdisciplinary research platforms. These platforms are designed to address national strategic needs while promoting scientific excellence. Future research should prioritize the expansion of these platform models, the refinement of mechanisms for collaboration between industry and academia, and the development of multidimensional evaluation systems for assessing the impact of interdisciplinary research. These efforts will contribute to the enhancement of national scientific and technological innovation strategies.
