CAS Institute of Quantum Information and Quantum Technology Innovation and Aliyun announced the release of 11-bit cloud access superconducting quantum computing services in the direction of superconductivity quantum computation.
It is understood that this is the world's second after the IBM to provide the public with more than 10-bit quantum computing cloud services system has been in the cloud computing platform for quantum computing in the cloud to achieve a classic computing simulation environment and real quantum processor integrity Back-end experience.
Through the quantum computing cloud platform, users can upload and test various quantum computing circuit codes and download the related operating results.
The platform will draw more people to run quantum algorithms and complete preliminary experiments. It will not only be used to understand important features such as processor performance and technology bottlenecks, but also help to develop next-generation processors and gain experience for application optimization.
Shih Yun-yun, chief quantum technology scientist at Alibaba Cloud, said the launch of Alibaba Cloud Quantum Team will make it easier to experiment with real-world processors to help them understand the hardware and lead the development of quantum tools and application software. At the same time, Experience in the client experience, and constantly improve the platform.
It is understood that the Quantum Computing Cloud Platform was jointly developed by the CAS Institute of Quantum Information and Quantum Technology Innovation (Shanghai) and Aliyun, and officially released at the 2017 Hangzhou CloudWater Conference. The user can log in to the Aliyun official website to use.
In addition to client-side services, Aliyun also provides classical simulation of quantum computing and is involved in designing solutions that measure the performance of the processor.Classical simulations accurately calculate experimental results on quantum processors and compare them with real processor results to Measure the latter's performance, verify correctness and so on.
Quantum computing has epoch-making significance and quantum computing research has been used around the world as a key entry point for the 'ultimate computing power of humankind.' In 2017 alone, the competition for quantum computing power has become increasingly day-to-day between Google and major IBM technology companies.
As early as July 2015, Aliyun co-founded the first quantum computing laboratory in Asia with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and conducted a prospective study in the field of quantum information science. Aliyun subsequently brought the world's first case of cloud-based quantum cryptography.
In May 2017, the world's first quantum computer was jointly developed by the Chinese University of Science and Technology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences - Alibaba Quantum Computing Laboratory, and Zhejiang University. In the second half of 2017, Shi Youyun, the world's leading quantum scientist, Winner Mario Szeged has joined Ali cloud quantum laboratory.
