Quantum computer operating system

2-8-21 China’s first homegrown quantum computer operating system was unveiled in Hefei, E.China’s Anhui Province on Monday.

The system, developed by Origin Quantum Computing Technology Co Ltd., will be used on quantum computers – a type of new computers that have been touted as being able to solve complex computational problems much faster than any classic computers.

The new OS has been optimized for the resource management and parallel processing capabilities of quantum computers. It can also calibrate the quantum chips automatically, according to the company.

Currently, only dozens of quantum computers are available in the world. Experts believe if they are not being used effectively, their incredible computing power will be wasted.

The largest two-dimensional map of the universe ever released, including 2 billion objects

1-14-21, National Astronomical Observatory Beijing-Arizona BASS survey team and the Dark Energy Spectral Survey DESI International Collaboration Project team jointly released the latest giant two-dimensional sky map of the universe. This is the largest cosmic sky map obtained by human measurement so far. 200 researchers from all over the world have spent 6 years on joint observation and data analysis, covering 20,000 square degrees of the sky, which is about half the area of the whole celestial sphere, accommodating 10 trillion digital pixels and containing 2 billion celestial objects.

China’s quantum communication network

China’s hack-proof quantum communication technology is “primarily ready” for practical use after a 4,600km (2,858 mile) network was put through two years of experimental service, researchers announced.
When fully developed, quantum communication can be applied in fields such as finance, defence, government administration and electronic information, according to scientists. This network consisted of the Micius satellite – the world’s first quantum communication satellite launched in 2016 – and more than 700 optical fibres covering 2,000km and connecting 32 nodes across four provinces and three municipalities in China. It was completed in 2017 and has realised communication up to a distance of 4,600km.
