Young minds in China are in for an exciting experience! On June 1st, the Anhui Provincial Committee of Children and the Anhui Provincial Quantum Computing Engineering Research Center are organizing a groundbreaking event: the inaugural “China’s Independent Quantum Computer Cluster Open Teaching Activity.”
The supercomputer was launched in January earlier this year
This thrilling program is set in the heart of Benyuan Quantum, China’s trailblazing quantum computing firm. Children will have the opportunity to learn about and engage with five independent superconducting quantum computer clusters, including the famed “Benyuan Wukong.”
Benyuan Wukong: A Technological Marvel
Benyuan Wukong, China’s third-generation standalone superconducting quantum computer, is a marvel of technology. Introduced in January 2024, it is recognized as the most advanced programmable and deliverable superconducting quantum computer in the world. Named after the legendary Sun Wukong, known for his ability to transform into 72 forms, the computer features a 72-bit autonomous superconducting quantum chip, aptly called the “Wukong Core.”
Independent Chinese Technology
What truly distinguishes Benyuan Wukong is its high degree of independent Chinese technology. It includes:
- Homegrown quantum chips, developed entirely within China.
- Independent quantum computing measurement and control systems.
- An independent quantum computer operating system.
- Independent quantum computer application software.
This results in an impressive 80% localization rate, with the remaining components currently under self-development.
Global Impact
The influence of Benyuan Wukong is significant. As of May 27th, it has completed an astonishing 225,000 computing tasks for users in 124 countries and regions. It has also attracted over 9.38 million remote access attempts worldwide, with a particularly high number of users from the United States.
