2022 Global Quantum Computing Industry Development Report


In 2021, we witnessed the rapid development of quantum computing and the advancement of quantum computing hardware technology. Global quantum computing entered the NISQ age at a rapid pace, and the superconducting qubit count hit 100 bits for the first time. Great efforts are being made to explore applications of quantum computing, with several technical routes in full bloom. With the United States and China taking the lead in global progress, quantum computing has seen a financing scale that surpasses the total amount of the past decade and a new trend towards listing financing in the same year.

Currently, with the advancement of a new round of information technology and industrial revolutions, the data information amount is growing in each industry. Thus, how to improve computational power while reducing power consumption is a critical problem that every country must urgently solve. As pioneering technology in this context, quantum computing provides a subversive idea for solving this problem. Quantum computing is a new kind of computing that allows high-speed computation, storage, and information processing according to the laws of quantum mechanics. Compared with traditional computers, quantum computers have natural quantum parallel computing capability, strong storage capacity, and high computing speed, leading to a qualitative leap forward in existing computing capacity. 

Research computing constitutes a groundbreaking scientific attempt to break through the computational power limits of classical computing, becoming a strategic vantage point for countries worldwide to grasp comprehensive advantages in the fields of military, security, economy, and scientific research. From conceptual design to lab achievements and preliminary insights into commercial value, exploring physical implementation methods for quantum computing and increasing the qubit count are the key goals pursued by global research institutions and technology enterprises.
