Wedoany.com Report on 9th, Recently, Hefei Origin Quantum Computing Technology Co., Ltd. officially opened online downloads for its first domestically-developed quantum computer operating system, "Origin Sinuo." This move marks a crucial step for China's quantum computing field at the foundational software level and signifies Origin Quantum's attempt to promote technological autonomy and collaborative development of the quantum ecosystem through an open-source model.
According to official information from Origin Quantum, "Origin Sinuo" is currently deployed on the third-generation superconducting quantum computer series, "Origin Wukong." Information released by the Anhui Quantum Computing Engineering Research Center indicates that this is the world's first complete quantum operating system supporting local deployment and download, fundamentally different from development frameworks like IBM's Qiskit or Google's Cirq, which primarily rely on cloud access. The latter typically provide services in the form of cloud-based toolkits, whereas the local deployability of "Origin Sinuo" offers users more low-level, system-level control capabilities.
In terms of technical architecture, "Origin Sinuo" is positioned as a hybrid operating system integrating quantum computing, classical computing, and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. Its core function lies in managing the high sensitivity of qubits—quantum states are extremely susceptible to environmental interference, requiring the system to precisely coordinate the operating environment of quantum chips. Simultaneously, it is responsible for scheduling classical computing resources such as CPUs and GPUs to achieve efficient synergy between quantum and classical computing. To address engineering challenges like short qubit coherence times and error-proneness, the system has enhanced resource scheduling and noise suppression capabilities in its underlying design.
The open download this time adopts a dual-version strategy. The Community Edition is freely available to developers and researchers, focusing on noise suppression mechanisms and hybrid compilation functions, aiming to lower the barrier to quantum programming and attract more developers to explore and experiment in the quantum computing field. The Enterprise Edition targets industrial-grade deployment needs, integrating advanced post-quantum cryptography tools with enhanced security features. It is suitable for large-scale application scenarios with high information security requirements, such as finance, government affairs, and critical infrastructure.
As one of the representative companies in China's quantum computing field, Origin Quantum has previously launched multiple quantum measurement and control integrated machines, quantum chips, and quantum computing cloud platforms. The open download of the "Origin Sinuo" operating system further completes its full-stack layout from hardware to foundational software to application services. Industry analysis suggests that as foundational software like operating systems moves towards open source and localized deployment, the underlying technology of quantum computing will gradually become standardized and open. This holds significant importance for China to achieve technological autonomy and ecosystem breakthrough in the cutting-edge field of quantum computing.
