Pan Jianwei (Chinese: 潘建伟; pinyin: Pān Jiànwěi) is a Chinese quantum physicist. In 1987 he entered University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and got his bachelor's degree and master's degree there. He received his PhD from Vienna University, Austria, where he worked in the group of Anton Zeilinger.[5]

He is mainly known for his work in the field of quantum entanglement. His team demonstrated five-photon entanglement in 2004.[6] He was elected as a member of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2011 and TWAS in 2012. In April 2014, he was appointed as the vice-president of USTC. He won the International Quantum Communication Award in 2012.[7] The work of his team was selected as the top breakthrough in 2015 around the world by Physics World.[3] His team, including Peng Chengzhi, Chen Yu'ao, Lu Chaoyang, Chen Zengbing, etc., won the State Natural Science First Class Award in 2016.[4] Under his lead, world's first quantum satellite launched successfully in August 2016.[8][9]
