Industry chain for quantum computers formed

CHINA has established a basic independent industry chain for superconducting quantum computers, and it is one of the very few countries that can independently produce quantum computers, which are believed to be critical for future development, a leading Chinese scientist told the Global Times.

However, as the global race for quantum computing continues to heat up and the United States continues to crack down on China’s technological rise, “greater efforts are needed to make breakthroughs in key areas that are facing technological blockades by the West,” said Guo Guoping, a deputy to the National People’s Congress, China’s top legislature, and deputy director of the Key Laboratory of Quantum Information of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
