China's third-generation self-powered superconducting quantum computer, "Origin Wukong," is now equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) computing capabilities, marking a significant advancement from the "usable" to "user-friendly" stage for China's independently developed quantum computing power.
As reported by Science and Technology Daily with this new breakthrough, announced by the Anhui Provincial Key Laboratory of Quantum Computing Chips in eastern China, China's quantum computing power can 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. Their complementary nature provides a new way to break through traditional computing power barriers and technological limitations," said Guo Guoping, Director of the Anhui Provincial Key Laboratory of Quantum Computing Chips.
To facilitate this integration, the research team launched several quantum AI tools, including the Origin Brain quantum knowledge large-scale model and the QPanda3 Runtime MCP service.
Origin Brain is specifically designed to serve quantum computing researchers, educators, and developers, by providing efficient and accurate intelligent knowledge services that reduce barriers to learning and research in the quantum field.
Meanwhile, the QPanda3 Runtime MCP allows users to submit tasks through natural dialogue, making quantum computing power "available on demand" and significantly simplifying the use of quantum computers, according to a report by Science and Technology Daily.
The 72-qubit Origin Wukong is a programmable and deliverable superconducting quantum computer . It has provided quantum computing services to more than 47 million visits from 163 countries and regions worldwide since its launch in January 2024.
Going forward, the research team is exploring hybrid quantum-AI algorithms for various sectors, such as power, finance, and industry, with the aim of providing more precise and efficient support for industrial decision-making, the report added.
