The superconducting quantum cloud platform at QuantumCTek that will utilise the new chip
Did you know?
The world’s largest quantum chip is 1,125 qubits
Scientists in China have developed a 504-qubit quantum computing chip that will be made available to researchers worldwide via a new quantum computing cloud platform. The new chip, called ‘Xiaohong’, is the biggest built by China to date and is designed to improve systems that manage the behaviour and interaction of quantum bits, or qubits, in quantum computers. The scientists hope that the chip will help scale up existing quantum computers so they can handle more complex tasks.
