On December 5, China launched the superconducting quantum computer “Tianyan-504,” equipped with the “Xiaohong” chip featuring 504 qubits, marking a significant milestone in the country’s quantum computing sector.
Tianyan-504 Quantum Computer equipped with a quantum computing chip with a capacity of up to 504 qubits.
The aforementioned quantum computer was co-developed by the China Quantum Communication Technology Co., Ltd. (CTQG), the Quantum Information and Physics Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the leading Chinese quantum company QuantumCTek.
According to CTQG, the Tianyan-504 computer is equipped with a quantum computing chip that boasts a capacity of up to 504 qubits and is expected to match the performance of international quantum computing platforms like IBM in terms of qubit operational time, result fidelity, and other critical aspects. This quantum computer will be integrated into the Tianyan cloud quantum computing platform, allowing users worldwide to access it.
Since its launch in November 2023, the Tianyan cloud quantum computing platform of China Telecom has recorded over 12 million visits from more than 50 countries, providing convenient and straightforward quantum computing services for global users.
Established in May 2023 in Hefei, the capital of Anhui Province, CTQG is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Telecom, focusing on research and development in quantum technology.
