Recently, heavy news shows that Huawei has successfully applied for a quantum chip patent, which has qualitatively improved the technological development of Huawei and even China, and the technology of quantum chip has far-reaching significance for the visible development.
Quantum chips can solve the problem that Huawei's high-end Kirin chips are not OEM at present. Although Huawei's Kirin chip is designed by Huawei itself, it needs OEM. EUV mask aligner for OEM is monopolized by ASML in the global market, which is also the biggest problem facing Huawei and domestic manufacturers.
In the field of optical chips, Huawei has achieved global leadership, and in the field of quantum chips, Huawei has also made great efforts. Compared with the nanotechnology currently used in chips, the degree of precision improvement achieved by quantum technology cannot be reflected by specific figures. China has successively launched two quantum computers, Chapter 9 1 and Chapter 9/2, and successfully surpassed Google. Chinese University of Science and Technology cooperates with Shanghai Microsystems to develop Zu Chongzhi II.
The difficulty of developing quantum chips;
The research and development of quantum chips is very difficult. First, it needs to be processed by a quantum computer. If we want to realize quantum chips as commodities and form industries, we need a high degree of integration.
This is a test of semiconductors, superconducting materials, photons, atoms and ions. If the quantum chip is realized, it can help China's semiconductor industry, by going up one flight of stairs. Therefore, the difficulty of quantum chips is still very great, and it is also very worth celebrating that Huawei can get this patent.
It is worth mentioning that at present, China ranks first in the calculation of quantum mechanics, and there are many domestic manufacturers with such sophisticated technology, which will not be surpassed in the short term. The accuracy of quantum chips cannot be expressed by numbers. The quantum technology announced by Huawei this time provides a solution for the subsequent quantum chips, chip manufacturing and yield problems.
