The Chinese Academy of Sciences and Alibaba announced the establishment of a joint quantum computing laboratory on Thursday in Shanghai with the goal of developing superfast quantum computers. Alibaba will spend $4.8 million for 5 consecutive years to support creation of superfast computers.
A research group led by Academician GUO Guangcan from Key Laboratory of Quantum Information and Synergetic Innovation Center of Quantum Information & Quantum Physics of University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of Chinese Academy of Sciences made progress in quantum computing based on solid quantum chip. Researchers realized the controlled-Not quantum logic gate in two-charge-qubit system of semiconductor quantum dot. Their study was published on Nature Communications with "Conditional rotation of two strongly coupled semiconductor charge qubits" as its title.
