The achievements of "Nine Chapters" have established China's position in the first phalanx of international quantum computing research. The Gaussian Bose Sampling algorithm based on "Nine Chapters" will have important potential application value in the fields of graph theory, machine learning and quantum chemistry in the future.

Different from the traditional computers currently in use, the "Nine Chapters" quantum computer is a precision desktop device consisting of a laser, a mirror, a prism and a photon detector. At present, quantum computer only solves specific problems, so it is still in the development stage of special computer, that is, it only stays in the experimental stage, but the breakthrough of "Nine Chapters" quantum computer is still of milestone significance.

Extended data

In recent years, quantum technology has become the focus of science and technology in Europe and the United States, and quantum computer is considered to have great potential in the future satellite communication, information security and other fields because of its powerful computing power, and has become a hot spot of science and technology in various countries.

The "Nine Chapters" quantum computer built by the research team of China University of Science and Technology is the second quantum computer prototype released in the world after Google "Platanus acerifolia", and it is also the first quantum computer that uses photon bits to calculate. With the advent of the "Nine Chapters", China has once again made remarkable achievements in the frontier field of fierce competition in global quantum science and technology, and established its leading position in the field of quantum computing.
