A number of breakthroughs have emerged in quantum technology, and six major concept stocks have "risen in the wind" to accelerate the trend of market popularization

It is reported that on December 24, China's third-generation independent superconducting quantum computer "Origin Wukong" has more than 18 million visits worldwide. It is revealed that the "Origin Wukong" is equipped with a 72-bit independent superconducting quantum chip, which is currently the most advanced programmable and deliverable superconducting quantum computer in China.

"Origin Wukong" was launched on January 6 this year and is open to users around the world. In addition, in the global quantum computing technology invention patent rankings, Origin Quantum ranks seventh. According to the latest data, 'Origin Wukong' has completed more than 303,700 quantum computing tasks.

The most disruptive technology in quantum technology is the quantum computer, which can exponentially improve and enhance beyond the physical limitations of electronic computing. At present, quantum computing is mainly used in the fields of information network security, big data, AI, chemistry, biomedicine, financial engineering, and intelligent manufacturing.

Nowadays, as a cutting-edge technology, quantum computing is gradually transitioning from theoretical research to practical application, quantum computing has become a strategic highland for global scientific and technological competition, quantum computing will not only reshape the global information technology infrastructure, but also will have a far-reaching impact on the world economy, national security strategy and even the future of human society.

It should be pointed out that at present, the quantum computing industry chain should include upstream environmental equipment, measurement and control systems, chips and other products, the midstream includes quantum computer machines, system software, application software and quantum computing cloud platforms, and the downstream is industrial application cooperation. Many players have emerged in the upstream, midstream and downstream of the industrial chain.

Since December 2024, Google has dropped a bombshell on the market, with its latest quantum computing chip, "Willow", which can solve a problem that a traditional supercomputer can solve in 5 minutes about 10 to the 25th power in 25 years. Even more far-reaching than the performance breakthrough is that Google has solved a more significant problem on the Willow chip, achieving quantum error correction below the surface code threshold.

While these technical terms may seem unfamiliar to the general public, they have made quantum technology a hot topic thanks to Google's much-talked-about quantum computer chip project. Using qubits to solve some difficult problems can improve computational efficiency, help drug discovery, encrypt communications, ensure data security, and lay a solid foundation for building larger and more complex quantum computers in the future.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang once said in an interview that it may be another 10 or even 20 years before quantum computers are truly industrialized.

It is understood that Nvidia is working with Google Quantum AI to accelerate the design of its next-generation quantum computing devices using simulations powered by the computing power provided by Nvidia's CUDA-Q platform. Google Quantum AI is using NVIDIA's CUDA-Q quantum computing platform and Eos supercomputer to simulate the physics of quantum processors.

It is reported that AWS, Amazon's cloud computing platform, announced the launch of the Quantum Sailing Program to help enterprises prepare for the era of quantum computing. The program is offered by Amazon Labs and consists of three standard modules: Use Case Discovery, Technology Enablement, and Deep Analysis.

According to Amazon, quantum computing is an emerging field that harnesses quantum mechanics and has the potential to revolutionize the industry by solving problems that even the most powerful traditional computers can't. To help customers prepare for the era of quantum computing, we are working to help customers "compute-intensive use cases, understand the latest technologies, identify relevant quantum technologies to focus on, and ultimately make informed decisions about future resources and long-term quantum roadmaps."

According to reports, IBM started very early in the research and development of quantum computing hardware, and began to build superconducting qubits in 1999, maintaining a leading position in the superconducting quantum computing track. At the IBM Quantum Summit 2023, IBM released Condor, a quantum chip with 1,121 superconducting qubits, with significantly improved qubit parameters.

At the same time, IBM also showcased its "IBM Quantum System II" architecture, which ensures that researchers have extensive access to Quantum System II. IBM divides the development of quantum computing into three phases, and the company believes that the first phase is now over and moving into the second phase, which focuses on quantum hardware performance, error reduction and correction, and application performance testing.

According to the data, as a cutting-edge scientific and technological innovation chain enterprise, WiMi Holographic takes the research and development of quantum computers as the starting point, links the quantum devices in the middle and upper reaches with the quantum application scenarios in the downstream, and builds a complete industrial ecology.

Only when users from all walks of life participate in the ecosystem of quantum computing can the ultimate goal be achieved - to find scenarios that can be scaled up and used at high frequency in quantum computing. In fact, Wemi Holographic has developed machine learning-based quantum error mitigation technology to improve the accuracy of quantum circuits without the need for additional quantum resources.

It can be said that the research of this project will help promote its own quantum technology research results for human use, organically integrate the capital and business experience of optimized enterprises with cutting-edge technology in the field of quantum computers, and achieve independent breakthroughs in some important fields, in order to break the existing technical barriers, is expected to accelerate its place in quantum science, and will eventually provide technical support for quantum computing in the path of artificial intelligence.

The Baidu Institute of Quantum Computing was established in March 2018, and in August 2022, the industrial-grade superconducting quantum computer "Qianshi" developed based on the Baidu quantum platform is equipped with a 10-qubit superconducting quantum chip. In September 2023, Duan Runyao, director of Baidu's Institute of Quantum Computing, released the first large model in the quantum domain and two native AI applications - Baidu Quantum Assistant and Quantum Writing Assistant.

In the long run, quantum technology not only has broad industrial prospects, but also will profoundly affect the development of many industries, and with the deepening of cooperation between upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain, the entire industry ecosystem will also be more perfect, further promoting the penetration of quantum technology into a wider range of application scenarios. In short, the world is preparing for a quantum era of ultra-large computing power, and when the high wall of technical barriers is difficult to shake, what can be done is to take root to improve its own strength.
