The first phase of Quantum Computing Innovation Workshop (preparatory) will focus on the design and manufacturing of high-level superconducting quantum computing chips, R & D of high-precision quantum measurement and control systems, and the research on the application of quantum computing and quantum simulation. The workshop aims to develop high-level superconducting quantum chip measurement and control system and explore its potential value in application. The first phase includes: designing and manufacturing superconducting quantum chips with specific computing and simulation capabilities, building extremely low-temperature multi-bit quantum chip characterization, measurement and control systems, developing high-precision quantum measurement and control software and hardware systems, promoting the application of quantum chips in quantum computing and quantum simulation, and exploring the integration of quantum chips and other disciplines. The workshop aims to be a world-class quantum science and technology research platform.
