Chinese scientists develop new quantum computer with 113 detected photons

[serenity]

Um China has the two fastest supercomputers of conventional forms. Both US and China stopped reporting advances so Japan took lead in Top500 list but both US and China have faster computers than Fugaku.

China has two exascale supercomputers known to the public and admitted by the US. US has none that it has made known to the public.

So sorry but not only are we now producing graphene chips and photonics chips for AI, 5G, exascale supercomputing and quantum computing, but this is first step in a long journey. At least the US is not ahead by much if at all in these fields. With Si chips US is definitely ahead of China as soon as they secure TSMC which by word and agreement is already done. See if the American also gets Samsung tech with force.

Chinese state media tries to keep everything hushed because low profile always unless required. Letting everyone know China dominates supercomputing since 2015 is not something China wants to do so openly.

But in reality, China is smashing USA in supercomputing and India?? India's supercomputing is just 1 million Modi fangirls shitting on streets while trolling internet.

Where is "falling off a cliff"? Only in proclamations made by Indian trolls and American butthurts but they never have evidence or reasoning, just one sentence big claims.

One at over 60 qubits and now another that is over 100 qubits.

Well IBM quickly threw a few more qubits in just to take the crown back.

IBM is also on track for over 400 qubit Osprey processor next year, and over 1,100 qubit Condor in two years.

The above article just mentioned Zuchongzhi, which is the world third fastest Quantum supercomputer with 66 qubits.

JiuZhang-1 is the world second fastest Quantun supercomputer, with 76 qubits and being 1 billion times faster than the best the US could come up with, Google.

Whilst JiuZhang-2 is the world fastest Quantum supercomputer, with 113 qubits, and I lost the count of the number of zeros, maybe a billion of billion of billion or some similiar number of times faster than Googles' one.

China basiclly leave the US in the dust, and the distance between the two can only be described by a Chinese quantum supercomputer

No wonder Ancient book like I-Ching has already predicted that China will lead the world for the next 1000 years, and lead human civilization to the next level, age of inter-planet, or even inter-system, if not inter-galaxy travelling.

Yikes, this didn’t age well, with IBMs announcement today

LOL! Looks like we just put up something faster...and the above is the BEST you could come up with after years of trying to surpass Google.

Meanwhile it takes IBM only a few weeks to simply add a few more qubits on to top you.

IBM is competing with the resources of an entire country vs. a single professor in China.

Also, claimed number of cubits is one thing, the actual calculated Hilbert space available is another.

 

[Globenim]

but but America announced it will soon announce to have theoretically matched what China measureably achieved a month ago.

lmao the cope of these sour grapes is turning more bitter every week

HEFEI, Oct. 26 (Xinhua) -- Chinese scientists have established a quantum computer prototype named "Jiuzhang 2.0" with 113 detected photons, achieving major breakthroughs in quantum computational speedup.

In the study, Gaussian boson sampling (GBS), a classical simulation algorithm, was used to provide a highly efficient way of demonstrating quantum computational speedup in solving some well-defined tasks.

With 113 detected photons, "Jiuzhang 2.0" can implement large-scale GBS septillion times faster than the world's fastest existing supercomputer.

The study, led by the renowned Chinese quantum physicist Pan Jianwei, was published online in the journal Physical Review Letters on Monday Beijing Time.

HEFEI, Oct. 26 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese research team has successfully designed a 66-qubit programmable superconducting quantum computing system named "Zuchongzhi 2.1," significantly enhancing the quantum computational advantage.

The achievement marks that China has become the first country to achieve quantum computational advantage in two mainstream technical routes.

The study was led by renowned Chinese quantum physicist Pan Jianwei and was published online on Monday Beijing Time in the journal Physical Review Letters and Science Bulletin. ■

They can also confirm that China have already completed two exascale supercomputers, but chose to not reveal it publicly because of the political reasons.

Really? They have all the resources of the country?
I thought they were competing with the resources of

Microsoft Quantum Computing
Google Research
D-Wave Systems
Intel
Hewlett Packard: Quantum Information Processing
IonQ
Honeywell

and a bunch of other companies.

Too bad China has only 1 single professor working on Quantum computers. I thought they'd have more.

The US began installation in September of the Frontier exascale supercomputer, whose performance exceeds both of those supercomputers.

Most of the quantum information competitors in the US are money burning failures and only the full efforts of Google and IBM can even compete with just a few individuals in China.

I almost think that quantum computing was regarded as a dead end in China and resources were redirected towards quantum communications, hence the Micius satellites and the quantum fiber network.

Now only a few individuals get public funding for quantum computing. Maybe there's some funding behind the scenes, I don't know. To my knowledge quantum computing only solves certain problems better than classical computers - and only in principle - with even readout being highly problematic and essentially analog in nature.

Well... claimed performance, anyhow. We'll see how it really runs when it's installed.

The timing on the most recent U.S. restrictions to bar relationships with the labs and vendors behind both exascale systems came in April, a month after benchmarks were run on each system. It is unclear whether the decision to withhold reporting on the achievement was due to waiting for the June Top 500 list or for other reasons but those we spoke with suspect the real delay was to keep from being knocked off the number one spot too quickly by the U.S..

The “Frontier” machine in the U.S. was expected to appear on today’s Top 500 rankings at the top of the list, well above either of China’s systems. If China listed in June or for today’s list, assuming “Frontier” had taken the slot followed by “Aurora” at Argonne (with projected 2+ exaflops peak) it would only hold top placement for a relatively short time. That’s important considering the lifespan of these large machines (5 years on average) and the potential for new machines to further supplant China, pushing its systems further down the list.

The semiconductor shortage was not expected to impact big systems as much as it did and China likely did not see “Frontier” being off the November list for that reason.

The real reason China did not include their systems in the Top 500 list is because the Chinese government expected US exascale machines to supplant their own relatively quickly.

What does all this mean?

it means They are working on some machines that can solve problem with Many Many Many Variables
usually impossible for mind to start with

How do you know China’s quantum computer won’t be as fast or even faster with the next announcement? If China announces more qubits than IBM’s claimed number, your bragging will look foolish. This is an ongoing race.

China developed the exascale superpower to be good enough to be in this year’s June list in the TOP500. China was therefore the first country in the world to develop an exascale supercomputer. Just didn’t publish it because it might hurt the fragile American ego. If the US or Japan passes China’s first exascale supercomputer in subsequent lists is completely irrelevant as China was the first to reach exascale.

The race was who will reach exascale first, and the report confirmed it was China. China has won the race to exascale. This race is finished, China won.

China didn’t publish it because it knows it’s systems will be supplanted in short order. Frontier began installation in September and is expected to surpass Chinese systems performances. Aurora and El Capitan are also expected to surpass those systems. Whether China was first to exascale is irrelevant to me. What matters is that the US is investing in systems that overmatch China’s and the rest of the worlds.

It’s like bragging about the Soviets sending the first man to space, when the US did it 3 weeks later and completely surpassed Soviet/Russian capabilities.
