Quantum computing, as a cutting-edge global strategic technology, directly shapes a country's industrial competitiveness. China has consistently achieved various breakthroughs in this field, positioning itself as a global leader. In 2021, with its Zuchongzhi series of quantum computers, China became the only country to achieve quantum computational advantage in both photonic and superconducting qubit systems. Over the past decade, advancements such as Zuchongzhi and Jiuzhang have propelled China's quantum technology from lab research toward industrial application.

The Hefei National High-tech Industry Development Zone is emerging as a hub for quantum computing industrialization in China, where local enterprises and research institutions collaborate to translate technologies into real-world applications. China's Jiuzhang series of photonic quantum computing prototypes, led by GuoChuang Software, continues to break world records in quantum advantage. The latest iteration, Jiuzhang-3, further elevates the capabilities of photonic quantum information technology.

The superconducting quantum computer Tianyan-287, jointly developed by China Telecom Quantum Group and QuantumCTek, entered into operation recently. Equipped with the same chip as Zuchongzhi-3, it processes specific problems 450 million times faster than the world's fastest supercomputer. Already integrated into a quantum cloud platform and open globally, it has attracted users from over 60 countries.

Additionally, the superconducting quantum computer Origin Wukong, also developed in the zone, features a fully independent and controllable supply chain. Since its launch in January 2024, it has completed over 760,000 quantum computing tasks, received more than 40 million global visits, and served users across 163 countries and regions. Its applications extend into biomedicine, aerospace, fintech, and other fields.
