Chinese research teams have made marked progress in superconducting quantum computing and photonics quantum computing technology, making China the only country to achieve quantum computational advantage in two mainstream technical routes, while the US has only achieved a "quantum advantage" in superconducting quantum computing, analysts say.
据悉,中国科研团队在超导量子计算和光子学量子计算技术方面取得了显著进展,这使得中国成为唯一一个在两条主流技术路线上取得量子优势的国家,而美国仅在超导的量子计算方面取得了“量子优势”。
Quantum advantage is a scientific concept that states a quantum computer can do things in some fields beyond the capability of non-quantum or classical computers, but it will never replace classical computers, Yuan Lanfeng, a research fellow at the Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the Microscale of the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), told the Global Times on Tuesday.
中国科学技术大学合肥微尺度物质科学国家研究中心副研究员袁岚峰在周二接受《环球时报》采访时说到:量子优势是一个科学概念,即量子计算机可以在某些领域做超出非量子或经典计算机能力的事情,但它永远不会取代经典计算机。
The research team, headed by the renowned Chinese quantum physicist Pan Jianwei, designed a 66-qubit programmable superconducting quantum computing system, naming it "Zuchongzhi 2.1," after the noted 5th century Chinese mathematician and astronomer, significantly enhancing the quantum advantage, the Xinhua News Agency reported Tuesday.
据新华社周二报道,由中国著名量子物理学家潘建伟领导的研究小组设计了一个66比特的可编程超导量子计算系统,以中国五世纪著名数学家和天文学家的名字命名为 祖冲之二号,大大增强了量子优势。
"Zuchongzhi 2.1," is 10 million times faster than the current fastest supercomputer and its calculation complexity is more than 1 million times higher than Google's Sycamore processor. It's the first time that China has reached quantum advantage in a superconducting quantum computing system.
祖冲之二号比目前最快的超级计算机快1000万倍,其计算复杂性比谷歌的悬铃木处理器高100多万倍。这是中国首次在超导量子计算系统中达到量子优势。
"Zuchongzhi 2.1" has achieved a quantum advantage for the first time compared with an earlier processor named "Zu Chongzhi", a 62-qubit programmable superconducting quantum prototype designed by a Chinese research team from the USTC in May, Lu Chaoyang, a professor of the USTC in Hefei, capital city of East China's Anhui Province, told the Global Times on Tuesday.
位于中国东部安徽省省会合肥市的中国科学技术大学教授陆朝阳周二告诉《环球时报》,祖冲之二号与早期名为祖冲之号的处理器相比,首次实现了量子优势,早期的祖冲之号是中国科技大学的一个研究团队在5月设计的62量子位可编程超导量子原型机。
 Pan's team also built a new light-based quantum computer prototype, "Jiuzhang 2.0," with 113 detected photons, which can implement large-scale Gaussian boson sampling (GBS) 1 septillion times faster than the world's fastest existing supercomputer, according to the Xinhua News Agency. 
据新华社报道,潘建伟的团队还建立了一个新的光基量子计算机原型,九章二号,有113个检测到的光子,可以实现大规模的高斯玻色子采样(GBS),比世界上现有最快的超级计算机快1024倍。
Yuan said that the number of detected photons for "Jiuzhang 2.0" increased to 113 from the previous 76 when the quantum computer prototype "Jiuzhang" first came out, which was a major technical breakthrough, as the difficulty increases exponentially with each additional detected photon. 
袁岚峰说,九章二号检测到的光子数量从之前九章量子计算机原型刚出来时的76个增加到113个,这是一个重大的技术突破,因为每增加一个检测到的光子,其难度就会成倍增加。
The light-based quantum computer prototype "Jiuzhang" was built in December 2020, led by Pan and Lu, and demonstrated a quantum advantage. 
2020年12月,由潘建伟和陆朝阳领导建设的光基量子计算机原型“九章”建成,并展示了量子优势。
