The 180-bit “Original Wukong-180” is officially launched and can be called remotely by global users.

[ Gearbest Technology News]On May 9, according to the “People's Daily” report, the “Origin Wukong-180” quantum computer equipped with a single-core 180-bit independent superconducting quantum chip has been officially put into operation and will begin to receive global quantum computing tasks starting today. This means that my country’s fourth-generation independent superconducting quantum computer has entered the stage of external service.

It is reported that the core configuration of “Original Wukong-180” is a single-core 180-bit independent superconducting quantum chip, which belongs to the superconducting quantum computing technology route. After this launch, relevant users can submit quantum computing tasks to the system, which will be open to the world. For a quantum computing platform, the number of chip computing bits, system stability and sustainable operation capabilities are all important indicators to measure its service capabilities. The putting into operation of “Original Wukong-180” marks the further advancement of the construction of domestic superconducting quantum computing hardware and platforms.

From the perspective of naming and generational division, “Original Wukong-180” is defined as my country's fourth-generation independent superconducting quantum computer, reflecting the system's continuous iteration in independent quantum chips and complete machine platforms. Compared with single technology verification in the laboratory stage, receiving computing tasks globally means that its application environment and service scenarios are further expanded, and it also puts forward higher requirements for system operation, task scheduling and platform maintenance.

Quantum computing is regarded as one of the important directions of the new generation of information technology, with potential application value in fields such as combinatorial optimization, materials research, drug research and development, and complex simulation. Currently, global quantum computing is still in the stage of continuous research and development and exploration and application. The launch of “Origin Wukong-180” provides new progress for the actual operation and open services of my country's independent superconducting quantum computers.
