China has taken a monumental leap in quantum computing with the launch of the superconducting quantum computer prototype, Zuchongzhi 3.0, on March 3. This breakthrough marks a significant advancement in the field, showcasing China's rapid progress in cutting-edge technology.
Setting a new benchmark in quantum computational advantage, Zuchongzhi 3.0 outperforms existing superconducting systems by a remarkable margin. The computer can process quantum random circuit sampling tasks at speeds a quadrillion times faster than the world's most powerful supercomputer.
To put it in perspective, Zuchongzhi 3.0 operates a million times faster than the latest quantum computing results published by Google in Nature in October 2024. This achievement not only highlights China's prowess in quantum technology but also paves the way for future innovations that could revolutionize various industries.
