China Mobile, the largest telecommunications operator in China, has launched the country’s largest cloud quantum computing platform in partnership with China Electronics Technology Group Corp (CETGC). The platform offers a hybrid quantum-classical capability, connecting China Mobile’s existing public cloud service to 20-qubit quantum computers designed and built by CETGC. It is designed to help researchers and enterprises carry out experiments with quantum computing, and is targeting AI, biomedicine, intelligent transportation, and aerospace applications. President Xi Jinping’s government has prioritized quantum computing and other quantum technologies in its Five-Year Plan, and the platform is likely to support moving quantum computing out of the laboratory and into practical use cases.
