The computer is named after the classical astronomer and mathematician Zu Chongzhi.
Zuchongzhi 1
Zuchongzhi was officially inaugurated on 8 May 2020. The computer manipulated 62 superconducting qubits and was then the prototype quantum computer manipulating the largest number of superconducting qubits in the world.
Zuchongzhi 2
On 26 October 2021, Pan Jianwei's team and the Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed the Zuchongzhi 2, which handles 66 qubits. According to its designers, Zuchongzhi 2 is 10 million times faster than Google's 55-qubit Sycamore enabling China to claim quantum supremacy.
