Chinese Superconducting Quantum Computer Receives Over 20 Million Global Visits

Addis Ababa: China's independently developed third-generation superconducting quantum computer, Origin Wukong, has received over 20 million remote visits globally, marking a significant milestone in the nation's quantum computing development, China Science and Technology Daily has reported.

According to Namibia Press Agency, users from 139 countries or regions have accessed Origin Wukong remotely, with the United States, Russia, Japan, and Canada exhibiting the highest levels of user activity. Among these countries, the United States is leading in foreign user visits.

Origin Wukong has completed more than 339,000 quantum computing tasks since it began operations on January 6, 2024. These tasks span a wide array of industries, including finance and biomedicine.

The quantum computer operates on Wukong, a 72-qubit indigenous superconducting quantum chip, recognized as one of the nation's most advanced programmable and deliverable superconducting quantum computers.

The name Wukong was inspired by the mythological Sun Wukong, the legendary Monkey King, known for his ability to transform into 72 different forms. This symbolizes the computer's powerful and versatile capabilities.
