Baidu Establishes Quantum Computing Institute | Plan to Integrate at the Business Level

Recently, Baidu announced the establishment of the Institute for Quantum Computing to conduct research on quantum computing software and information technology application business. Duan Runyi, director of the Quantum Computing Laboratory at the University of Technology, Sydney, will serve as director of the Institute. All work will be reported directly to Baidu President Zhang Yaqin.

Since 2002, Duan Runqi has been engaged in the work related to quantum information research, mainly focusing on the study of quantum entanglement properties and applications. Typical results such as the complete description of the precise resolution of quantum operations, quantum zero error information theory and so on.

The emergence of quantum computing will undoubtedly bring information computing and processing capabilities into an entirely new phase. At present, quantum computing is particularly fierce in international competition, and individual fields show a leap-forward development trend. However, overall, quantum computing is still in the present situation. Stone river research stage.

The establishment of the Institute of Quantum Computing was Baidu’s one-time slot in the field of quantum computing. After all, foreign giants such as IBM and Google have already entered the game. Countries are also strengthening the development and investment in this field. Baidu plans to be within five years. The establishment of a world-class institute for quantum computing and the integration of quantum computing with its own business in the future.
