Chinese quantum computer Origin Wukong. /CMG
China's independently developed third-generation superconducting quantum computer, Origin Wukong, has received over 10 million remote visits globally, marking an important milestone in the country's quantum computing development, the China Science and Technology Daily reported on Tuesday.
As of 9 a.m. Monday, people from 124 countries and regions have remotely accessed Origin Wukong, which has completed nearly 236,000 quantum computing tasks globally, according to the Anhui Quantum Computing Engineering Research Center.
The quantum computer, powered by Wukong, a 72-qubit indigenous superconducting quantum chip, went into operation on January 6 in Hefei, east China's Anhui Province. It is one of the country's most advanced programmable and deliverable superconducting quantum computers.
Since it became operational, the quantum computer was opened up to global users for free for a limited time and has processed global quantum computing tasks. Users from the United States, Canada and Türkiye lead those who logged in.
Wukong's name was inspired by Sun Wukong the Monkey King, one of the protagonists in the Chinese novel Journey to the West with the ability to transform into 72 different forms, symbolizing the computer's powerful and versatile capabilities.
