China Unveils "Zuchongzhi 3.0": A 105-Qubit Superconducting Quantum Computer Surpassing Classical Supercomputers

China has introduced "Zuchongzhi 3.0," a 105-qubit superconducting quantum computer, setting a new benchmark in quantum computational advantage. * "Zuchongzhi 3.0" features 105 readable qubits and 182 couplers. * It performs random quantum circuit sampling tasks quadrillions of times faster than the world's most powerful supercomputer. * It is also a million times faster than Google's previous results published in Nature. * The system significantly improves key performance metrics compared to its predecessor, "Zuchongzhi 2.1." * Researchers are exploring quantum error correction, quantum entanglement, quantum simulation, and quantum chemistry. * The team is conducting surface code error correction research with a code distance of 7, with plans to expand to 9 and 11.
