According to the Anhui Quantum Computing Engineering Research Center, China's third-generation domestically developed superconducting quantum computer, named "Origin Wukong," has recently been equipped with the country's first "anti-quantum attack shield" – the PQC (Post-Quantum Cryptography) hybrid encryption method. This advancement enhances "Origin Wukong's" ability to withstand attacks from other quantum computers, ensuring the security of operational data.

Dou Menghan, Deputy Director of the Anhui Quantum Computing Engineering Research Center, explained that the "Anti-Quantum Attack Shield" loaded on "Origin Wukong" was developed by Origin Quantum Computing Technology (Hefei) Co., Ltd. This marks the first practical application domestically, indicating that China's self-developed superconducting quantum computers are capable of both offense and defense in the field of quantum computing. This also represents a significant exploration of new data security technologies in China.
According to reports, China's third-generation self-developed superconducting quantum computer, "Origin Wukong," went online and operational on January 6th this year. It is equipped with 72 self-developed superconducting quantum chips known as "Wukong Chips" and is currently the most advanced programmable and deliverable superconducting quantum computer in China. As of April 10th, "Origin Wukong" has completed over 169,000 computing tasks for users from 117 countries worldwide, with a global access count exceeding 5.51 million.
