The primary research strengths of the USTC are in the areas of quantum physics and condensed matter physics. Guangcan Guo, Jianwei Pan and Xianhui Chen "Between 2009 and 2011, the USTC has accumulated a CC of 15.08, on par with Tsinghua University’s CC of 15.83 and ahead of Peking University’s CC of 13.51. If the USTC continues to perform strongly in Nature-branded primary research journals, we are confident that its role as a leading research institution will eventually receive recognition."
