The Chinese Academy of Sciences has successfully transmitted QuantumCtec’s quantum computing processor, known as Xiaohong, for 504 cubic meters, setting a record for the number of cubes on a super-conductive quantum chip in China. This achievement marks a significant milestone in the field of quantum computing. (source)
The Xiaohong chip is specifically designed to be compatible with the kilosfield of measurement and control system developed by Quantumctek independently. These components are crucial in the hardware of quantum computers as they greatly influence overall performance. The system aims to match leading international quantum computing platforms like IBM in performance metrics such as cube lifetime, Gate Fidelity, and quantum chain depth.
Unlike traditional objectives of increasing computing power or achieving quantum superiority, the main goal of the Xiaohong chip is to contribute to the development of scalable measurement and control systems for quantum calculations. This innovative approach emphasizes the importance of practical application and efficiency in quantum computing.
Following the success of the Jiuzhang 2.0 and Zuchongzhi 2.1 quantum computing systems in 2021, Chinese scientists have positioned China as a world leader in quantum computing through advancements in photon quantum computing and superconducting quantum computing.
Moreover, the Quantum Group, a division of China Telecom, has announced a partnership with Quantumctek to develop a quantum computer based on the Xiaohong chip. This collaboration will enable global users to access the new quantum computer through Quantum Group’s cloud platform for quantum computing, fostering innovation and collaboration in quantum technologies worldwide.
By leveraging this breakthrough technology, researchers from various fields will be able to effectively tackle complex tasks and algorithms, accelerating the integration of quantum computing into real-world scenarios and applications.
Prior to this achievement, Quantumctek focused on cybersecurity in the cloud by utilizing quantum random numbers as encryption keys to enhance data protection against potential threats posed by quantum computers. This innovative approach demonstrates the company’s commitment to advancing quantum information technologies in a secure and efficient manner.
