Origin Quantum, a quantum computing
company in Hefei, capital of east China's Anhui province, launched a
cloud superconducting quantum computing platform on Sept. 12. According
to CEO Kong Weicheng, Wuyuan, a superconducting quantum computer
independently researched and developed by his company, will offer free
quantum computing services to customers worldwide via cloud access. Wuyuan
is China's first superconducting quantum computer that can steadily
operate beyond a lab setting, and it also takes the lead in practical
engineering. The platform is
equipped with a six-qubit superconducting processor, with its technical
indicators such as fidelity and coherence time reaching the
international advanced level. Currently,
quantum computers are almost inaccessible for ordinary users as their
operation requires a strict environment and expensive auxiliary
equipment. As a result, major quantum computing companies in the world
have been working to develop quantum cloud platforms to enable more
users to experience and study the technology. Origin
Quantum is working on a 24-qubit control system for superconducting
quantum chips and computers. It is expected that a 60-qubit Wuyuan
superconducting quantum computer will be launched by the end of next
year. Content in partnership with Science and Technology Daily
