What technology did China introduce in 2024?
In January 2024, China introduced its most advanced quantum computer to date: Origin Wukong. Developed by Origin Quantum in Hefei, this third-generation superconducting quantum computer is powered by a 72-qubit chip, making it the nation's first fully domestically built system of its kind.
Since its launch, Wukong has completed over 350,000 quantum computing tasks across industries such as fluid dynamics, finance, and biomedicine, with users from 139 countries accessing it remotely.
Notably, Wukong achieved a world-first by fine-tuning a billion-parameter AI model, demonstrating the potential of quantum computing in enhancing large-scale artificial intelligence applications.
