en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Origin Wukong series superconducting quantum computer has completed over one million global quantum computing tasks. Developed jointly by the Key Laboratory of Quantum Computing Chips of Anhui Province and the Anhui Quantum Computing Engineering Research Center, the system has been in operation for over two years, receiving more than 49 million remote visits from users in 192 countries and regions worldwide.

While providing quantum computing power, the system integrates a Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) protection framework, forming a dual capability of computing power and security. This platform combines quantum computing services with defensive security measures, constituting an "offense-defense integrated" quantum computing service system. The PQC defense system has been deployed in multiple enterprises and public institutions. In April 2024, Origin Wukong integrated China's first PQC "anti-quantum attack shield"—Origin Rock, a software cryptographic module capable of resisting attacks from both classical and quantum computers.

This initiative aligns with global developments in post-quantum cryptography. The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced that nine candidate schemes have entered the third round of evaluation for post-quantum digital signature algorithms. NIST has previously approved three PQC cryptographic standards and estimates that quantum computers could disrupt current cryptographic systems within the next five to ten years. The U.S. National Security Agency has also urged federal agencies to transition to PQC as early as possible.

China is expected to formulate national standards for post-quantum cryptography within the next three years and increase investment in related research. Wang Xiaoyun, a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study of Tsinghua University, stated that the next three to five years may be a period of explosive growth for the migration of the post-quantum cryptography industry in China. The Chinese government's annual government work report emphasizes cultivating future industries, including quantum technology, future energy, embodied artificial intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, and 6G. Guo Guoping, chief scientist of Origin Quantum and director of the Anhui Quantum Computing Engineering Research Center, stated that the company is committed to advancing the principles of quantum computing, with the goal of achieving scalable programmable quantum computing.
