Origin Wukong, China’s cutting-edge superconducting quantum computer, has taken a step forward in its defense against potential attacks by other quantum systems.
According to an official Chinese outlet, a powerful “anti-quantum attack shield” was installed in the independently developed computer.
Earlier this year, Origin Wukong was opened up to global users. Amid a heated quantum computing race between the US, Canada, and China, the move came as a surprise, given US quantum computers are not open to users in China.
The official Science and Technology Daily reports that the new encryption technology installed will ensure the security of Origin Wukong’s operational data. These new encryption methods are designed to replace conventional public-key cryptography systems.
