China replaces imported quantum computer component with domestic alternative following US sanctions

Breakthrough in Quantum Computing Module Development by Origin Quantum Researchers

Origin Quantum Makes Breakthrough in Quantum Chip Development

In a significant breakthrough in quantum technology, Kong Weicheng, a researcher at Origin Quantum, has announced a major advancement in the development of quantum processors, or quantum chips. Kong revealed to mainland media outlets that the key to the module’s success lies in its ability to insulate heat at ultra-low temperatures close to absolute zero, as well as providing a high-speed, stable channel for signal transmission.

One of the major hurdles in the independent production of the module has been the sourcing of an ultra-low temperature specialized high-frequency coaxial cable, which was previously imported from Japan at a high cost. However, Anhui News reported that Origin Quantum has successfully developed a module that can provide microwave signal transmission channels for quantum chips with more than 100 bits, allowing for stable signal transmission in extremely cold environments.

This breakthrough is expected to significantly enhance the computational capabilities of quantum computers, enabling them to operate more efficiently. Kong noted that the success of the module is a crucial step towards reducing dependence on other countries and achieving self-reliance in China’s quantum technology sector.

Origin Quantum, founded in 2017 by quantum physicists Guo Guoping and Guo Guangcan, has been at the forefront of China’s quantum computing research and industrial applications. The company’s independently developed quantum computer, Origin Wukong, has already completed over 183,000 quantum computing tasks and was opened up to global users in January.

Named after the iconic Monkey King of Chinese mythology, Origin Wukong represents China’s latest and most advanced programmable quantum machine. With this latest breakthrough, Origin Quantum is paving the way for further advancements in quantum technology and reaffirming China’s position as a leading player in the global quantum computing arena.
