The dawn of industrialization appears, and quantum technology will no longer be "out of reach"

Author:Global Times Time:2022.08.26

Quantum computing, this is a cutting -edge technology concept that sounds particularly "tall", "thousands of times faster than supercomputers in specific fields", "Calculation method in the era of Moore's Law", etc. It has been given a lot of "science fiction" colors.

In fact, quantum computing technology can show unique advantages in the fields of artificial intelligence, chemical medicine, material simulation, education and scientific research, fintech and password security, and can solve the difficulties that classic computers cannot handle. Taking information security as an example, quantum applications can break the RSA public key password system in only 1 second, while classic computers take more than 100,000 years. Therefore, many countries have invested heavily in this area in order to occupy the initiative of cutting -edge technology in the future.

For example, in 2018, the EU invested 1 billion euros to implement the quantum flagship plan. In the same year, the United States passed the "National Quantum Initiative Act" aiming to ensure the continuous leadership of the United States in quantum information and its application, and proposed that the "Endless Frontier Act" plans to invest 100 billion US dollars in 10 areas including quantum computing. In addition, American companies such as Google, IBM, and Microsoft are accelerating the research and development and layout quantum computing platform.

Baidu superconductive quantum computer "start"

In this regard, my country is also unwilling to show weakness. At the policy level, the national "Fourteenth Five -Year Plan" and the long -view target outline of 2035 emphasize the need to implement future industrial incubation and acceleration plans in the field of quantum information and other industries. Accelerate the frontier technologies such as quantum computing and quantum communication. The "Fourteenth Five -Year Plan of Beijing" During the "Development Plan for the Fourteenth Five -Year Plan period" clearly stated that it is necessary to vigorously promote the development of superconductant quantum computers and seize the international competition system of quantum international competition. In terms of enterprises, domestic, such as Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, Huawei, etc., they have all arranged in quantum computing. In 2021, China University of Science and Technology achieved quantum superiority on the two platforms of superconductance and optical quantum. This series of achievements show the huge potential of quantum computing.

A cutting -edge technology is inseparable from industrialization verification. On August 25th, at the "Seeing the Future" Quantum Developer Conference, Academician Pan Jianwei, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the world -renowned quantum information expert, and the chief scientist of "Mozi", pointed out that quantum computing is practical and industrialized. Long way to go. In this process, the active participation and close cooperation of all aspects of political, industry, research and research are required. "We are glad to see that in recent years, my country's companies' attention and investment in quantum computing have also been increasing. Head companies such as Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, Huawei, etc. have deployed related research and development, and the development of quantum computing in my country It has formed a huge promotion. "

The achievements of Baidu's quantum computing industrialization "start" and "quantum" release

Based on this consensus, during the meeting, Baidu released the superconductant quantum computer "starting" and the first full platform quantum hard and hard -and -hard solution "quantity". The use of the entire platform, such as PC, PC, and clouds. Just download an app, users can experience quantum computing, and quantum technology will no longer be "out of reach." Dr. Haifeng, the chief technical officer of Baidu, said that the industrialization of quantum computing is an important way for quantum value. Only when scientific and technological innovation is actually applied to the industry and verified its value in practice, can it have long -term vitality.

Since 2018, Baidu has begun independent innovative quantum computing technology reserves and application path exploration, while "Ganshi" and "quantity" are important starting points for Baidu to industrialize quantum computing. According to reports, the beginning of the industry is a industrial -grade superconducting quantum computer that integrates quantum hardware, quantum software, and quantum applications. Stable and high -quality quantum computing services.

"Metering" is the first full -platform quantum soft and hard integration solution launched by Baidu, which provides a series of services such as privatization deployment, cloud services, and hardware access, which greatly simplifies the entire process of quantum hardware deployment to quantum services. "Metering" has multiple types of mainstream quantum chips such as adaptation of superconducting and ion trap, which can achieve quantum chip "plug and play". At present, the "quantum" has completed the verification of the superconductant quantum chip of the Institute of Physical Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the ionic trap quantum chip connection of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Only when scientific and technological innovation is actually applied to the industry and verified its value in practice, can it have long -term vitality. Baidu's pace in the field of quantum computing is becoming more and more stable, as Wang Haifeng said: "Promote the industrialization of quantum computing, seize the opportunity of quantum computing, innovative technology and application will help improve competitiveness, and eventually benefit from benefiting everyone."
