On February 23, the Board of Directors of the Institute of Quantum Information and Quantum Technology Innovation at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with the 2018 Annual Work Conference, took place in Hefei. During this event, several key updates were shared with the public through a network communication session.
The Institute of Quantum Information and Quantum Technology Innovation at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Alibaba Cloud, announced the launch of an 11-bit cloud-based superconducting quantum computing service. This marks a significant milestone in the field of quantum technology.
This is the second system globally, after IBM, to offer more than 10 quantum bits (qubits) through a cloud platform. The service now allows users to access both a classical simulation environment and a real quantum processor via the cloud, providing a comprehensive experience for quantum computing.
Through the quantum computing cloud platform, users can upload their test programs, run various quantum algorithms, and download the results. This opens up new possibilities for researchers and developers to experiment with quantum technologies remotely.
The platform aims to attract more users to run quantum algorithms and conduct preliminary experiments. This not only helps in understanding the performance and limitations of quantum processors but also supports the development of next-generation systems and improves optimization applications.
Shi Wei, Alibaba's chief quantum technology scientist, emphasized that the release of this system enables the team to experiment more effectively using real quantum processors. This deeper hardware understanding will help drive the development of quantum software tools and applications, while also improving user experience through cloud services.
The quantum computing cloud platform was jointly developed by the Institute of Quantum Information and Quantum Technology Innovation at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Shanghai) and Alibaba Cloud. It was officially launched at the Hangzhou Yunqi Conference in 2017, and users can access it through the Alibaba Cloud official website.
In addition to direct quantum computing services, Alibaba Cloud also offers classical simulations to evaluate the performance of quantum processors. These simulations allow for accurate comparisons between simulated and actual results, helping to verify the correctness and performance of quantum devices.
Quantum computing represents a major breakthrough in the pursuit of ultimate computational power. In recent years, competition between tech giants like Google and IBM has intensified, with each striving to push the boundaries of quantum capabilities.
Alibaba Cloud and the Chinese Academy of Sciences established Asia’s first quantum computing laboratory in July 2015, focusing on forward-looking research in quantum information science. Later, they introduced the world’s first cloud-based quantum encryption communication solution.
In May 2017, the world’s first optical quantum computer was jointly developed by the University of Science and Technology of China, the Chinese Academy of Sciences-Alibaba Quantum Computing Laboratory, and Zhejiang University. By the end of 2017, renowned quantum scientist Shi Wei and Gödel Prize winner Mario Szegedy joined the Alibaba Cloud Quantum Laboratory, further strengthening its research capabilities.
