Quantum computer is considered to be the future development direction of computer technology, all capable countries in the world are developing their own quantum computers, and recently China's quantum computer is on fire, China's independent research and development of superconducting quantum computer Zu Chong Zhi No. 2 successfully achieved a major breakthrough, with the ability to control 66 qubits, the world's first to achieve the so-called quantum computing superiority, far more than the United States and Japan and other countries for many years! According to the experiment, Zu Chongzhi No. 2's ability to hold a specific algorithm has exceeded 100 million times that of a traditional computer, and the computing power can be said to have dumped the Japanese traditional supercomputer in a galaxy, and some experts said: China should include its technology in the list of prohibited export technologies as soon as possible, and must not export it to the United States.

Quantum computer and traditional computer is very different, it uses the microscopic particles that manipulate the quantum world to implement calculations, because microscopic particles have many states, and the state transitions rapidly, the computing potential of quantum computers far exceeds that of traditional computers, the most conservative estimate is also tens of millions of times stronger than traditional computers, but now the development of human quantum computers is still in its infancy, and the prototype performance developed cannot be compared with traditional computers, and scientists have proposed a concept called quantum computing superiority. Simply put, it means that the performance of a certain algorithm is tens of thousands to hundreds of millions of times higher than that of traditional computers, and only when this milestone is reached can quantum computers be said to be much stronger than traditional computers.

To achieve the superiority of quantum computing, it is necessary to control more than 55 qubits at the same time, the most advanced plane wood computer in the United States can only control 53 qubits, before scientists in various countries believe that more advanced quantum computers than plane trees will take at least several years to appear, but this time China has directly launched the Zu Chong Zhi No. 2 computer that can control 66 qubits, because it uses a number of advanced technologies independently developed by China, and the performance of Zu Chong No. 2 has been greatly improved. The performance of the quantum random line sampling algorithm is 7 orders of magnitude more powerful than the most advanced traditional computer of mankind, equivalent to millions of times, hundreds of thousands of times faster than the plane tree of the United States, and the first in the world to achieve the superiority of quantum computing.

This achievement makes Western experts feel a lot of emotions, many Western quantum computing experts are cheering for this achievement in China, and ask for cooperation with Chinese scientists, after all, this is the first time that mankind has achieved the superiority of quantum computing, which proves the strong ability of quantum computers compared to traditional computers, if China continues to develop along this route in the future, it is even possible to create a general-purpose quantum computer that can truly replace the existing traditional computer.

Including Zu Chong Zhi No. 2, including all existing quantum computers, although the speed of executing specific algorithms far exceeds that of traditional computers, but in other aspects it is difficult to compare with traditional computers, can only be regarded as specialized, general-purpose computers refer to computers like traditional computers, can perform all types of algorithms, once China successfully developed a general-purpose quantum computer, and achieved the superiority of quantum computing, it can be said that it is truly successful in the development of the kind of super computer that only exists in science fiction. Bringing humanity truly into the era of quantum computing.

Of course, there are a lot of technical difficulties to be overcome on the way to the general quantum computer, in addition to its own research and development, China should also pay attention to the joint cooperation of scientists in other countries, after all, only the combination of all human forces can develop this equipment faster, of course, we must also pay attention to not allowing other countries to steal China's technology and protect our own interests when cooperating with other countries.
