The announcement of Huawei’s quantum chip technology patent will break the limitations of Western chip technology and help make breakthroughs in domestic high-end chips. Huawei has accumulated rich experience in the chip field. In the past, Huawei's chip research and development focused on mobile phones and basebands, and developed a series of chips such as Kirin, Honghu, Kunpeng, and Balong. At present, chip production is completely restricted by Western chip technology, and domestic chips cannot break out of the cocoon.
The manufacturing of quantum chips does not depend on photolithography machines. Almost all chips currently on the market require photolithography machines to complete manufacturing. If high-end chips are produced, EUV photolithography machines are also required. Quantum chips are different from silicon-based chips. Quantum chips use quantum collisions to achieve information interaction. In the entire manufacturing process, they are not dependent on lithography machines. Therefore, the development of quantum chips can get rid of domestic chip manufacturing companies' dependence on Western chip technology.
Break the US ban on Huawei. The biggest problem facing Huawei now is the chip ban in Western countries. Huawei is strictly prohibited from using American technology and software to design and produce semiconductor chips. However, after Huawei announced its patented technology for quantum chips, it hopes to achieve overtaking in a corner and directly skip the production of silicon-based chips. Focus on the next generation of chips. Photolithography machines have been producing chips for a long time, and every technology has its time to be eliminated. This is also the best time for Huawei to deploy quantum technology.
Expand the quantum communication layout. Huawei is likely to explore quantum communications based on this patented technology and continue to expand its voice in the field of quantum chips and quantum communications. However, this technology still has a long way to go before it can be used in daily life and become normalized. In the future, industrial manufacturing will definitely be developed to break the dependence of domestic chips on Western lithography machines and bring our country's high-tech industry to the forefront of the world. This major breakthrough in chip technology has also given a shot in the arm to the domestic chip industry, allowing many electronics companies to see the future. Many domestic companies have also begun to participate in research and development and have developed software such as quantum chip design tools.
