"Origin Wukong" goes live

On January 6, 2024, the Anhui Provincial Quantum Computing Engineering Research Center and the Anhui Provincial Key Laboratory of Quantum Computing Chips stated that China's third-generation autonomous superconducting quantum computer "Origin Wukong" was at 9 o'clock on the same day. Quantum Computing Technology (Hefei) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as: Origin Quantum) went online. It is reported that the quantum computer is equipped with a 72-bit autonomous superconducting quantum chip "Wukong Core", which is currently the most advanced programmable and deliverable superconducting quantum computer in China.

According to reports, the "source Wukong" matches the source of the third generation of quantum computing measurement and control system "source machine", in the country for the first time landed quantum chip batch automated testing, quantum computer operating efficiency increased by dozens of times.

In addition, the 72-bit superconducting quantum chip "Wukong" is manufactured on China's first quantum chip production line, with a total of 198 qubits, including 72 working qubits and 126 coupler qubits. In addition, the first and second generation superconducting quantum computers have been delivered to Chinese users. Origin Quantum has China's first quantum chip production line, China's first quantum computer operating system, China's first quantum computing measurement and control system.

In terms of application scenarios, "Origin Wukong" can be applied to chemical calculations, optimization calculations, artificial intelligence and other fields. In terms of chemical calculation, the powerful computing power of "Origin Wukong" can realize more efficient and accurate molecular dynamics simulation and chemical reaction process simulation, and provide strong support for the discovery and optimization of new materials. In terms of optimization calculation, the optimization algorithm of "Origin Wukong" can realize more efficient logistics optimization, financial wind control and other application scenarios. In terms of artificial intelligence, the parallel computing power of "native Wukong" can realize faster and more accurate face recognition, speech recognition and other application scenarios.

The difference between quantum computers and ordinary computers is mainly in their calculation methods and computing speed. An ordinary computer is a classical computer, based on binary operations, and its internal information is represented as a binary number of 0 or 1. Quantum computers, on the other hand, use qubits, which can be in a superposition of 0 and 1 at the same time, a feature that allows quantum computers to process large amounts of information at the same time and have faster computing speeds than classical computers on some problems.

These listed companies layout superconducting quantum computer

The main business of Guodun Quantum (688027.SH) is divided into two major sectors: quantum confidential communication products and related information technology services, quantum computing and measuring instruments and equipment. The company said that the company's technology originated from the University of Science and Technology of China and has gradually grown into one of the few companies in the world with full capabilities in the design, supply and deployment of large-scale quantum secure communication networks.

The company's quantum technology mainly involves three aspects:

First, the field of quantum communication, for example, the distribution of ASD sub-keys through quantum key distribution networks is a new encryption method, and the current key distribution strategy can cover the whole field. In addition, it also provides related technical services for quantum security applications.

The second is the field of quantum computing, which is used to improve computing power. The development of quantum computing-related technologies will generate a lot of demand for derivative technologies, and now quantum computing-related scientific research instruments have a certain market size. The company's quantum computing equipment products and services are mainly superconducting quantum computing subsystems, machine solutions and cloud platform three parts.

Third, the field of quantum precision measurement, such as single photon detection, has separate measurement products. This business is somewhat close to that of high-end instruments.

the company said that it has the ability to build a quantum computing prototype. in the independent research and development of quantum computer related equipment and key devices, the company has initially completed the layout of room temperature superconducting quantum computing control system to control software system, low temperature signal transmission system, extremely low temperature and low noise platform (including dilution refrigerator, etc.) and superconducting quantum computing chip control capability.

According to the company's disclosure, its superconducting quantum computer, on the one hand, the company deeply participated in the quantum superiority experimental research work of the "Zu Chongzhi" quantum computer, and provided a supporting room temperature control system; at the same time, the superconducting route It is also considered to be one of the most potential routes. In the process of assisting scientific research and exploration, the company has also accumulated the experience foundation of engineering transformation.

HKUST's national shield quantum computing cloud platform is connected to the same 176-bit superconducting quantum computer as "Zu Chongzhi II", with a large bit scale. It is also the first quantum computing cloud platform in the world that has the potential to realize quantum superiority on the superconducting quantum route and is open to the outside world. At present, the downstream customers are mainly universities and research institutes, which can also provide quantum science knowledge for the public. At present, it is also further exploring applications in various fields where quantum computing has advantages, such as artificial intelligence, meteorological analysis, password decoding, biopharmaceutical, etc., to promote the development of quantum technology and industrial ecology.

electric science digital (600850.SH) said that electric science digital group (32) has started the system development of superconducting quantum computers since 2017, realizing multi-bit quantum entanglement through microwave control excitation and realizing quantum computer operating system or quantum compilation system. the company has undertaken a number of national scientific research projects related to quantum computing in Shanghai and is the leading unit in the field of quantum computing in electric science in China.
