According to a report by China Daily on March 9th…
China is accelerating its efforts to establish a self-reliant quantum computing industry, aiming to translate homegrown breakthroughs into global commercial influence, according to a national lawmaker and industry leader.
Origin Quantum, based in Anhui province, has achieved full domestic control over key quantum technologies — from chips and operating systems to complete quantum machines — and now offers cloud-based quantum computing services to users in over 160 countries and regions.
“Key technologies cannot be asked for, bought, or borrowed. We must break through ourselves,” said Guo Guoping, deputy to China’s National People’s Congress and chairman of Origin Quantum.
Milestones in Domestic Quantum Development
Over the past two decades, Origin Quantum has:
-
Developed superconducting quantum processors with 72 qubits
-
Launched the Origin Wukong quantum computer
-
Established China’s first dedicated quantum chip production line
-
Released the first domestically developed quantum computing operating system, available for global download
The Wukong platform has already processed over 810,000 quantum computing tasks and attracted 46 million visits from users worldwide, demonstrating early practical use of a technology still in its infancy.
Industrial and Global Implications
Origin Quantum is working to integrate general-purpose computing, supercomputing, intelligent computing, and quantum computing into a fully self-reliant industrial ecosystem. Early applications target key sectors such as:
-
Precision medicine
-
Low-altitude aviation
-
Autonomous driving
The company aims to cultivate and expand future industries, positioning China as a potential global leader in next-generation computing technologies.
Strategic Takeaways for International Observers
-
Self-reliance in critical technology – China is developing domestic quantum capabilities independent of foreign suppliers.
-
Global reach – Cloud-based services allow worldwide access to domestic quantum systems, expanding international influence.
-
Future industrial potential – Early application in strategic sectors may accelerate adoption and create new market opportunities.
For investors and technology observers, China’s progress in quantum computing highlights the country’s focus on high-end technology innovation, industrial autonomy, and global competitiveness.
