Origin Quantum Open Source Community Newly Revamped and Launched

Origin Quantum started to establish the Origin Quantum Open Source Community in 2018, which has recently completed a new revamp and gone live. The community aims to generate more quality content and expose practitioners to this quality content through the community for valuable exchanges and a more robust quantum computing product ecosystem. The community is currently soliciting feedback suggestions from the public.

Origin Quantum finished developing Quantum Bayesian Network application and went live on the cloud platform

Quantum Bayesian Network (QBN) is good at handling a part of complex stochastic systems mainly in security systems, and is an important application direction of quantum computing in many industries with physical device networks or virtual security network systems, such as finance and Internet. The application of Quantum Bayesian Network (QBN) has been developed recently to demonstrate the technical support scope and some basic functions of QBN, which is now online to the Quantum of Origin application cloud platform.

Chinese scientists achieve quantum dominance in sensor field

Chinese researchers at the University of Arizona have experimentally demonstrated the advantages of quantum computing systems over classical computing systems. The experiments show that equipping sensors with quantum entanglement will give them an advantage over classical sensors: the possibility of generating errors can be reduced by a certain margin, a small but crucial margin.

Key Laboratory of Quantum Information
Group & CenterChina

On 37 hectares (nearly 4 million square feet) in Hefei, Anhui Province, China is building a $10 billion research center for quantum applications. This news comes on the heels of the world’s first video call made via quantum-encrypted communications and the completion of a quantum-encrypted fiber optic trunk cable. The National Laboratory for Quantum Information Sciences, slated to open in 2020, has two major research goals: quantum metrology and building a quantum computer. Both efforts would support military and national defense efforts, as well civilian innovators. Pan Jianwei, a leading Chinese quantum scientist, says that the first general-purpose Chinese quantum computer could have a million times the computing power of all other computers presently in the world. In the computers we use today, information is encoded in a series of bits set as either 1 or 0. In a quantum computer, bits would theoretically be able to hold one, both, or some combination of these states. They could be used to speedily crack encrypted messages or solve complicated research problems involving anything from weather modeling to fusion research and biomedicine, because quantum bits allow certain calculations that happen one by one on a standard computer to occur simultaneously.
