President of Chinese Academy of Sciences: Developing China’s first quantum computer

[Observer network comprehensive report] on April 10, academician Bai Chunli, president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, revealed that the Chinese Academy of Sciences is developing China’s first quantum computer and is expected to be successfully developed in recent years.

According to zhongxin.com, on April 10, the sixth Second Council of China Tourism Association and the tourism industry transformation and upgrading Development Forum were held in Langfang, Hebei province. At the forum, academician Bai Chunli, president of Chinese Academy of Sciences, made a theme report on “frontier application of China’s science and technology development.

Bai Chunli said that scientists have been able to regulate single particles and quantum states, starting from the “observation era” to the “regulation era”. Quantum communication, quantum computer, etc. will produce revolutionary breakthroughs.

Bai Chunli pointed out that China successfully launched the world’s first quantum communication satellite last year, and China has already taken the lead in quantum communication in the world. It is reported that this refers to the world’s first quantum science experimental satellite “Mozi” independently developed by Chinese scientists last year “.

After the meeting, Bai Chunli revealed in an interview with reporters that the Chinese Academy of Sciences is developing China’s first quantum computer, which is expected to be successfully developed in recent years.

Quantum computer is a kind of physical device that follows the laws of quantum mechanics to carry out high-speed mathematical and logical operations, store and process quantum information. So, how powerful is it?

Academician Bai Chunli gave an example: it takes 100 years to solve a set of 100 billion variable equations by using the 100 billion-time “Tianhe No. 2” supercomputer. However, it only takes 0.01 seconds to use a trillion-time quantum computer to solve the same equations.

According to previous reports on observer network, at present, Google, IBM, Microsoft and other technology companies have invested a lot of resources in the field of quantum computers for research and development. On March 3, three scientists from Google Quantum AI Laboratory published an article in Nature MasoudMohseni, PeterRead and HartmutNeven, pointing out that quantum computing is about to usher in a historic milestone-quantum first (quantumsupermacy). Small quantum computers will gradually rise within five years.

At the end of last year, academician Guo Guangcan, the chief scientist of the 973 project “quantum communication and quantum information technology” of the Ministry of Science and Technology, once said that China was obviously behind the United States, software, almost no one made the material.

At that time, when talking about when the actually available quantum computer could be made, Guo Guangcan said that China and Europe estimated it would take 15 years. The United States thought it would be faster, and the current development of the United States was indeed faster.
