However, it should be noted that there is a type of technology that is more advanced than 5G networks and is currently out of reach of most consumers. This type of technology is undoubtedly quantum computing technology.
In fact, quantum computing and quantum communication, collectively known as quantum information technology, are emerging disciplines based on quantum mechanics.
Quantum mechanics is one of the basic theories of modern physics. It involves the microscopic world and has great exploration and development prospects. Therefore, in recent years, countries around the world have attached great importance to the development of quantum information technology.
Although countries and regions such as the United States and Europe started early in the exploration of quantum information technology, it is not too late for my country to launch relevant research.
At present, domestic scientific research institutes have mastered many world-leading technologies, and a Chinese company has mastered the core technology of quantum computing and can go head-to-head with American giants. This company was established in 2017 The original quantum of the year.
Although the company has only been established for four years, its strength and research progress cannot be underestimated. IT House reported on September 10 that Origin Quantum released its quantum computing technology planning roadmap for the next five years.
According to Origin Quantum’s roadmap, it is expected that by 2025, the company will break through 1,000 quantum bits and reach 1,024 quantum bits.
At the same time, Origin Quantum will also try to use quantum computing to solve problems in different fields and develop special quantum computers for related industries.
Of course, Origin Quantum’s plan is not accomplished overnight, but is divided into three stages. The closest goal is to develop a superconducting quantum computer prototype before 2022.
The author has confidence in Origin Quantum, partly because the company’s predecessor was the Key Laboratory of Quantum Information of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at the University of Science and Technology of China, which is equivalent to the “national team”.
Thanks to this, Origin Quantum has abundant resources in terms of talents. Public information shows that the company’s team of R&D experts are almost all heavyweights, such as academicians of quantum computing and chief scientists of the Super 973 project of the Ministry of Science and Technology. wait.
To put it bluntly, the core team of Origin Quantum almost includes most of the high-end talents in the field of quantum computing in China. Affected by this, Origin Quantum also has a financial advantage compared to ordinary private enterprises.
On the other hand, based on the above advantages, Origin Quantum has already mastered certain technical strength at this stage and has become a leading enterprise in the domestic quantum computing industry.
According to the author’s understanding, the company has successfully launched a number of products with 100% independent intellectual property rights, such as superconducting quantum cloud platform and quantum computer control system.
In addition, after years of research and development and accumulation, the company also holds the seventh largest number of technology patents in the world.
According to Origin Quantum, the company’s patent applications have exceeded 100 in the first half of 2021, and the company’s total number of patent applications so far is nearly 500.
According to the patent rankings jointly released by incoPat Innovation Index Research Center and IPRdaily Chinese website last year, Origin Quantum ranked seventh in the world in terms of patent applications.
All in all, the strength of Origin Quantum is obvious. The author believes that the company can continue to lead China's development, transcendence and leadership in quantum information technology.
