Chinese scientists unveil quantum computer Jiuzhang3 that is 180mln times faster on AI-related tasks

Chinese scientists unveiled a quantum computer prototype named “Jiuzhang 3.0“ with 255 detected photons on Wednesday, once again pushing the boundaries of photonics quantum computing technology. Led by the renowned Chinese quantum physicist Pan Jianwei, the research team has successfully accomplished this quantum computing feat, achieving a speed that is 10 quadrillion times faster in solving Gaussian boson sampling (GBS) problems compared to the world’s existing fastest supercomputers. Gaussian boson sampling, a classically intractable problem, was employed in this study to provide a highly efficient way of demonstrating quantum computational speedup in solving some well-defined tasks. The study was published online in the journal Physical Review Letters on Wednesday Beijing Time. __________________ ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality contents.
