The Chinese superconducting computer Origin Wukong has integrated post-quantum cryptography (PQC) architecture. The system has already completed over 1 million computational tasks in a secure mode, reports Global Times.
This 72-qubit computer utilizes the built-in software module Origin Rock. The solution protects data transmission from attacks using both classical and quantum algorithms.
Developers from the quantum chip laboratory in Anhui Province explained that the PQC framework prevents data theft for future decryption. This technology is currently being tested by Chinese enterprises and government agencies.
Since its public launch, Origin Wukong has been operational for over two years, during which the system has recorded 49 million visits from users in 192 countries.
The implementation of this protection aligns with China's plan to establish national standards for post-quantum cryptography. Authorities aim to finalize these standards within the next three years to ensure the security of critical infrastructure.
It is worth noting that in May, developers from Quantus stated that the cryptocurrency industry is not ready to transition to post-quantum cryptography, despite advancements in such computing.
