On November 4, the reporter learned from the Anhui Quantum Computing Engineering Research Center that China's independent quantum computing power has been exported and sold.
China's first quantum computing company, Origin Quantum Computing Technology (Hefei) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Origin Quantum), has sold China's independent quantum computing power overseas for the first time. The buyer is a well-known enterprise of a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. The independent quantum computing power sold overseas this time is China's third-generation independent superconducting quantum computer "Origin Wukong".
"Origin Wukong" was independently developed by the Origin Quantum team. It is my country's third-generation independent superconducting quantum computer, equipped with a 72-bit independent superconducting quantum chip. Since its launch on January 6 this year, "Origin Wukong" has completed 270,000 quantum computing tasks sent by 133 countries around the world. Users from the United States, Russia, Japan and other countries ranked in the top three among overseas users who remotely accessed "Origin Wukong".

Zhao Xuejiao, deputy director of the Anhui Quantum Computing Engineering Research Center and head of the "Benyuan Wukong" cloud service development team, told reporters: "Benyuan and IBM of the United States are now selling superconducting quantum computing power to the international market at the same price. Foreign companies' purchase of China's independent quantum computing power is the international market's initial recognition of China's quantum computing technology strength. After its launch, 'Benyuan Wukong' has provided quantum computing support for many scientific research fields. At present, users of many universities such as Peking University in China have ordered and used the quantum computing power of 'Benyuan Wukong', and more than 60 Chinese universities have deployed independent quantum computing education programs centered on 'Benyuan Wukong'."
It is worth mentioning that Benyuan Quantum is the only Chinese quantum computing company included in the US Entity List. It is China's first quantum computing company and the company that currently delivers the largest number of superconducting quantum computers in China. It has the only independent superconducting quantum computer manufacturing chain in China.
