Technology continues to break through, quantum computing accelerates commercialization and landing
2025-09-17
As a cutting-edge force in the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, quantum technology is accelerating from the laboratory to the industrial arena. At the recently concluded 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services, Beijing's first major technology equipment enterprise achieved a concentrated appearance for the first time. Among them, the release of the first coherent optical quantum computing cloud service in China that supports 1000 dedicated qubits marks the official entry of China's dedicated quantum computing into a new stage of practical application on a kilobit scale, and the commercialization of the quantum computing field has made key progress. The number of qubits has always been a key threshold for measuring AI computing power. ”Ju Jiangwei, Vice President of Beijing Bose Quantum Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Bose Quantum"), introduced that currently, the number of physical quantum bits in most quantum computer hardware is between 200 and 500 quantum bits, and the number of logical quantum bits obtained through error correction that can be used for computation is only a few dozen. When the number of quantum bits available for computation in hardware is less than 500, quantum algorithms cannot effectively handle highly complex AI models; Only when the number of bits reaches the threshold of 1000, can quantum computers solve practical problems such as large-scale gradient optimization, AI model training, covering drug molecule design, energy and power, and other large-scale and highly complex scenarios. Ju Jiangwei also revealed that the coupling accuracy of Bose Quantum Coherent Optical Quantum Computer has reached int8, surpassing the world's first commercial quantum computer supplier D-Wave (coupling accuracy of int5) for the first time, achieving a leap in China's specialized quantum computing strength from "following the world" to "leading the world". This is a microcosm of China's new breakthroughs in the field of quantum technology since the beginning of this year. In January of this year, led by China Southern Power Grid and jointly developed by the University of Science and Technology of China and Xi'an Xidian High Voltage Switchgear Co., Ltd. of China Electrical Equipment, the world's first ± 800 kV high-voltage DC quantum current sensor was successfully implemented, marking the application of quantum measurement technology in power systems; The superconducting quantum computing prototype "Zuchong No.3" released in March, capable of handling "quantum random circuit sampling" problems at a speed tens of billions of times faster than the fastest supercomputer in specific scenarios, breaking the world record for quantum computing superiority in superconducting systems; In May, Guoyi Quantum Technology (Hefei) Co., Ltd. released independently developed quantum sensors such as diamond single spin sensors, quantum magnetometers, microwave field strength meters, etc. Zhu Minghao, Executive Director of the China High end Manufacturing Research Center at Beijing Jiaotong University, believes that the emergence of China's "first set" in the field of quantum technology marks the transition of China's quantum technology from scientific research laboratories to practical specialization, and the gradual formation of a quantum technology ecosystem, which will further accelerate the industrialization of quantum technology and reduce the application cost of quantum computing. "With the emergence of 1000 dedicated quantum bit coherent quantum quantum computers, China will enter the international first echelon in quantum computing, continue to expand the application value of quantum computing, and promote the improvement of innovative application ecosystem." However, Zhu Minghao also pointed out that China's quantum computing still has shortcomings in hardware development and progressiveness of software algorithms. The hardware cost of quantum computers is huge, and the cost of a single superconducting quantum computer can reach tens of millions of yuan. Quantum bit cloud services may be able to solve this dilemma. This end-to-end service model not only lowers the threshold for using quantum computing, but also provides users with comprehensive application support through a complete software development suite and rich example programs. In terms of computing speed advantage, the fastest end-to-end time for a 1000 qubit cloud service is less than 60 seconds. ”Founder and CEO of Bose Quantum, Wen Kai, said. Since its launch in January 2024, China's third-generation autonomous superconducting quantum computer "Benyuan Wukong" has completed over 530000 quantum computing tasks for users from 145 countries and regions worldwide. Currently, three different versions of "Benyuan Wukong" have been put into commercial operation. In the medical field, BGI cooperated with Bengbu Medical University to develop breast cancer molybdenum target health detection and breast cancer molybdenum target benign and malignant detection real machine applications, which significantly improved the accuracy of breast molybdenum target image screening. At present, the global competition in quantum computing is in a strategic window period. China is leading the world in the field of quantum communication and accelerating the commercialization of quantum computing through technological breakthroughs, mass production promotion, and application expansion. Experts suggest establishing a new national system, strengthening international cooperation, leveraging the power of new research institutions and enterprises, and further promoting breakthroughs and commercialization of software and hardware technologies.
