The third-generation superconducting quantum computer Origin Wukong, independently developed by China, was put into operation on Saturday at Origin Quantum Computing Technology (Hefei) Co., Ltd. located in Anhui Province, eastern China.
The quantum computer is powered by Wukong, a 72 qubit local superconducting quantum chip. Researchers say that this is China's latest and most advanced programmable and deliverable superconducting quantum computer.
Kong Weicheng, Deputy Director of Anhui Quantum Computing Engineering Research Center, pointed out that the integration of this computer with third-generation quantum computing control systems has greatly improved the overall operational efficiency of quantum computers.
Jia Zhilong, Deputy Director of the Provincial Key Laboratory of Quantum Computing Chips at Anhui Quantum Computing Engineering Research Center, stated that the Wukong chip has 198 quantum bits, including 72 computational quantum bits and 126 coupler quantum bits.
