In the field of chip semiconductors, we started relatively late, and the United States has been using its influence in the semiconductor field to engage in a "small courtyard and high wall" model, attracting allies to restrict the shipment of semiconductor chips, and wanting to exclude Chinese chips from the world supply chain.
Chips are also a relatively complex industrial chain with extremely high technical thresholds, so although China's chips have developed rapidly in recent years, and the technology generation gap between China and the United States and the West has gradually shortened, there is still a certain gap with the United States and the West in terms of top technology. However, while China Chip is accelerating the development of traditional silicon-based chips, it has begun to accelerate the development of some emerging chips. Just recently, the good news of domestic chips came out, but this time it was not a technological breakthrough in traditional silicon-based chips, but another amazing achievement in quantum technology.
According to a report by the Global Times on April 26, on April 25, Keda Shield Quantum Technology Co., Ltd. revealed that the Institute of Quantum Information and Quantum Technology Innovation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences delivered a quantum chip called "Xiaohong" to Keda Shield Quantum Technology Co., Ltd. The most important thing is that the number of bits of this quantum chip has reached 504 bits, which is even better than the 72-bit quantum chip "Wukong" carried in the third-generation quantum computer of China Enterprise Origin Quantum.
It can be said that the number of qubits of this "Xiaohong" chip has refreshed the current domestic record for the number of bits of superconducting quantum chips, and it will also be opened globally through the quantum computing cloud platform. This also means that this quantum chip is not in the stage of just completing a technological breakthrough, but the technological development has reached a certain point and can be put into use.
The importance of quantum chips to quantum computers is undoubted, and it can even be said that they have greatly affected the computing power and comprehensive performance of quantum computers. Some of today's better quantum computers have actually reached millions of times the computing power of supercomputers, and the computing power is very exaggerated.
It can be said that with the rapid development of quantum technology, both quantum computers and quantum chips have become more and more excellent. Although today's quantum technology has not yet begun to be used commercially on a large scale, only a small number of quantum computers have opened up computing power to some users through cloud service platforms.
However, with the development of related technologies, quantum computers with excellent computing power are likely to become mainstream in the future or promote the technological development of some other emerging industries. For example, artificial intelligence, which is attracting much attention today, has a high demand for computing performance, and quantum computers also have excellent computing performance, which also means that it may be applied to the field of artificial intelligence in the future.
Although the current quantum chips have not begun to be applied on a large scale due to technical difficulties and manufacturing thresholds, it can be said that they are likely to become one of the mainstream chip types in the future.
It is worth noting that in some chip fields with excellent future development potential, such as quantum chips and photonic chips, the mainland's technology has developed very rapidly, and it can even be said that the mainland is the only country in the world that has achieved "quantum superiority" in the two fields of superconducting quantum and optical quantum.
There is no doubt that we have once again made remarkable achievements in the field of quantum chips, which can also promote the rapid development of China's chips and even the entire technology industry chain to a certain extent. Nowadays, we are developing more and more rapidly in similar fields, and even starting to "overtake in corners".
