China's newest quantum computer chip production line at full capacity China's first production line generating chips for the next-generation Wukong quantum computer made its public debut via China Media Group livestream on Tuesday. Find out all the details. Also in this newsletter, learn how the...
China has achieved rapid quantum computer development, with the launches of "Jiuzhang," "Zuchongzhi," and "Zuchongzhi 2" in recent years. Similar to conventional computers, quantum computers also need software to manage hardware devices, run applications, and provide a user interface. Researchers a...
Kong Weicheng, deputy director of the Anhui Quantum Computing Engineering Research Center, noted that the computer is integrated with the third-generation quantum computing control system, which enhances the overall operational efficiency of the quantum computer by many times. Jia Zhilong, deputy directo...

This year, the 72-qubit superconducting quantum computer Origin Wukong was finally unveiled. Wukong is the name of the fictional character Monkey King from the 16th century classic Journey to the West, who was endowed with magic powers. The name symbolizes the machine's formidable capabilities. ...
Lu Chaoyang, a 34-year-old professor at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and one of the developers of the prototype quantum computer, is nicknamed "the photon wizard." "You can't find two identical leaves in the world, but we can make two identical photons -- ...
Quantum computing is based on the principles of quantum mechanics and qubits. In September 2019, Google launched a 53 qubit computer called Sycamore, which took only 200 seconds to calculate a mathematical algorithm. At that time the world's fastest supercomputer Summit took two days to do the ...
Pan Jianwei, lead scientist of China's quantum experiments at space scale and a member of the academy, said the platform would help industrialize quantum computing."If a classic computer is compared to a bicycle in computation speed, a quantum computer is like a jet," said Pan....
The name Wukong was inspired by Sun Wukong, a mythical Chinese figure with the ability to transform into 72 different forms, symbolizing the computer's powerful and versatile capabilities. The quantum computer equipped with this chip has universal programmable capabilities for further developing quantum...
Guo, the Hefei professor, expects that although it might take about 20 years to develop an all-purpose quantum computer, quantum computing itself will have competence in solving specific and practical problems concerning people's lives and industrial production in three to five years. ...
