China launches 4th-generation independent superconducting quantum computer

China's fourth-generation independent superconducting quantum computer, "Origin Wukong 180," or 180-qubit Origin Wukong, officially went online on Saturday, starting to accept quantum computing tasks from users around the world.

The new system marks a further step forward in China's quantum computing capabilities. According to developers, the very quantum computer integrates four key core systems which are the quantum computing chip system, measurement and control system, environmental support system and operating system, all of which have been developed independently within China.

On Jan 6, 2024, the 72-qubit Origin Wukong, the third generation, was launched globally and has been stably operating for more than two years since then. So far, it has provided quantum computing services to around 50 million visits from more than 160 countries and regions worldwide.
