On April 12th, according to the Anhui Quantum Computing Engineering Research Center, China's third-generation self-developed superconducting quantum computer, "Bengyuan Wukong," has successfully equipped the country's first PQC (Post Quantum Cryptography) hybrid encryption method, known as the "anti-quantum attack shield."
This advancement will enhance "Bengyuan Wukong's" ability to withstand attacks from other quantum computers, ensuring the security of its operational data.
It is said that PQC technology can effectively resist attacks from quantum computers.
Quantum computers pose a serious threat to traditional public key cryptography due to their supercomputing power. To counter potential attacks from quantum computers, countries around the world are accelerating the migration to PQC to replace traditional public key cryptography.
The PQC "Anti-Quantum Attack Shield" uploaded by "Origin Wukong" was developed by Origin Quantum Computing Technology (Hefei) Co., Ltd., marking the first practical application in China.
This signifies that China's domestically developed superconducting quantum computers can both attack and defend in the field of quantum computing, representing an important exploration of new technologies for data security in China.
"Origin Wukong" is China's third-generation domestically developed superconducting quantum computer, equipped with 72 independently developed superconducting quantum chips known as "Wukong cores," making it the most advanced programmable and deliverable superconducting quantum computer in China to date.
