China has set a new benchmark in quantum computing with the launch of the Tianyan-504 quantum computer . Developed by China Telecom Quantum Group (CTQG), the Center of Excellence in Quantum Information at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and QuantumCTek Co., Ltd., the system takes quantum processing power to new heights by incorporating a 504-qubit superconducting chip, dubbed Xiaohong.
Pushing the boundaries of quantum computing
Tianyan-504 surpasses the 500-qubit mark, a key barrier in the evolution of quantum systems . According to experts, this computer is capable of matching, or even surpassing, international quantum platforms in crucial aspects such as qubit fidelity and lifetime.
Such advancements enable Tianyan-504 to be a centerpiece in the “Tianyan” quantum cloud computing platform, which has already gained the attention of more than 12 million users from over 50 countries since its launch in November 2023.
Boosting quantum science and technology
This achievement by CTQG demonstrates China’s commitment to leading innovation in the quantum sector. Tianyan-504 not only has the potential to transform quantum computing , but is also accessible via the cloud, giving researchers and companies around the world the ability to perform complex simulations and calculations. Such international accessibility reinforces the relevance of quantum technology as a fundamental tool to face global challenges in areas such as artificial intelligence and advanced cryptography.
By integrating its system into the Tianyan platform, China is moving towards a future where quantum computing goes from being a promise to being a tangible reality within reach of the global scientific community.
