China's Quantum Computer Now Equipped with AI Capabilities
Beijing (ANTARA) - China’s independently developed third-generation superconducting quantum computer, “Origin Wukong”, is now equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) computing capabilities, signifying a major advancement from the “usable” stage to “user-friendly” for China’s self-developed quantum computing power.
As reported by Science and Technology Daily on Tuesday (21/4), this new breakthrough, announced by the Anhui Province Quantum Computing Chip Key Laboratory in eastern China, allows China’s quantum computing power to be systematically integrated into the AI application ecosystem for the first time.
“The integration of quantum computing and AI is an important direction for the next-generation computing revolution. The complementary nature between the two provides new ways to break through the barriers of traditional computing power and technological limitations,” said Guo Guoping, Director of the Anhui Province Quantum Computing Chip Key Laboratory.
To facilitate this integration, the research team has launched several quantum AI tools, including the Origin Brain large quantum knowledge model and the QPanda3 Runtime MCP service.
Origin Brain is specifically designed to serve quantum computing researchers, educators, and developers, providing efficient and accurate intelligent knowledge services that reduce barriers in learning and research in the quantum field.
Meanwhile, QPanda3 Runtime MCP enables users to submit tasks through natural dialogue, making quantum computing power “available on demand” and significantly simplifying the use of quantum computers, according to the Science and Technology Daily report.
The 72-qubit Origin Wukong is a programmable and deliverable superconducting quantum computer. Since its launch in January 2024, it has provided quantum computing services to over 47 million visits from 163 countries and regions worldwide.
In the future, the research team is exploring hybrid quantum-AI algorithms for various sectors, such as energy, finance, and industry, with the aim of providing more precise and efficient support for decision-making in industrial fields, the report added.
