About XJTLU

In 2006 Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University(XJTLU) was created by the University of Liverpool and Xi’an Jiaotong University – a top ten university in China. Offering aunique international education experience, XJTLU brings together excellent research practice and expertise from both institutions and givesstudents the skills and knowledge they need to secure careers in a global marketplace. XJTLU now has over 25,000 enrolled students in bothSuzhou and Liverpool in the UK, with plans to grow to about 28,000 students by 2025. There are currently about 2,000 staff, among whichabout 1,000 academic staff, with an almost even split between citizens of the People’s Republic of China and international passportholders. XJTLU offers our undergraduates and postgraduates over 100 programmes with a diverse spectrum of courses.

With a focus oninnovative learning and teaching, and research, XJTLU draws on the strengths of its parent universities, and plays a pivotal role infacilitating access to China for UK and other institutional partners. At same time, XJTLU is exploring future education by blending theeducational theory, best practice and culture from west and east.

AboutPQC-X

The Post-Quantum Migration Interdisciplinary Lab (PQC-X) at Xi‚Äôan Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) led byProf. Jintai Ding specializes in Post- quantum Cryptography. It is an internationally collaborative, open lab, with English as the primaryworking language. 

PQC-X, freshly minted with an initial investment of 22 million yuan, aims to establish itself as aworld-class research facility, focused on advancing key post-quantum migration technologies, facilitating their transfer to industry, andfostering the development of high-level talent in the field. Currently, it established in-depth collaborative relationships through openinternational cooperation with top-tier institutions and scholars, including the team led by Prof. Johannes Buchmann, a fellow of the GermanAcademy of Sciences, and the team of Prof. Tsuyoshi Takagi at the University of Tokyo, to jointly propel the cutting-edge research in thefield of post-quantum cryptography, to jointly propel the cutting-edge research in the field of post-quantum cryptography. It also hasengaged in partnerships with the Jiangsu Province Financial Society, China Construction Bank, and the Financial Research Institute of thePeople‚Äôs Bank of China, among other entities, to drive innovation in quantum-resistant cryptographic technologies and facilitate theconversion of research findings into practical applications.

PQC-X is poised to grow into a robust team comprising 9 faculty members,9 postdoctoral researchers, and 12 doctoral students. We invite applications from researchers and professionals working in areas such ascomputational algebra, algebraic geometry, number theory, mathematical optimization, quantum algorithms, post-quantum cryptography,multi-party computation, zero-knowledge proofs, fully homomorphic encryption, privacy-preserving algorithms, blockchain, high-performancecomputing, and algorithm implementation.

About Prof. Jintai Ding

Prof. Jintai Ding is one of thedesigners of the only quantum resistant key establishment standard by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), ML-KEM(FIPS 203), which was formerly called Kyber. He is the inventor and patent owner of the first quantum key exchange which was one of the twopatents licensed to NIST for ML-KEM.

Join us in shaping the future of post-quantum cryptography and contributing to cutting-edgeadvancements in this transformative field.
