BEIJING – China has released a new generation of quantum computing cloud platform. It will allow researchers to perform complex computational tasks in the cloud and the general public to experience quantum computing at microsecond speeds.
The platform, jointly developed by the Beijing Academy of Quantum Information Science (BAQIS), the Institute of Physics (IOP) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Tsinghua University, was unveiled at the 2023 Zhongguancun Forum in Beijing.
With a physical spatial distance of 50 km, the quantum computing power of three superconducting quantum chips with 136, 18 and 10 qubits, respectively, can be pooled.
According to BAQIS, the platform has been open for testing since November last year, and more than 2,000 users at home and abroad have performed quantum computing tasks more than 500,000 times, during which the performance has been stable and efficient. It is said that it was targeted.
It is compatible with the Open Quantum Assembly Language and also provides a graphic interface for convenient programming.
Some research teams are using this platform to remotely use quantum chips to serve their own scientific research or build application software, which is an ecological construction of quantum computing. is expanded.
“The quantum computing ecosystem needs to be built on a cloud platform, so we need to develop a cloud platform as soon as possible,” said IOP researcher Huang Heng.
