Baidu has announced the creation of the first superconducting quantum computer, Qian Shi .Likewise
The quantum computer, dubbed Qian Shi, features a 10-qubit processor, the company said in a statement.Baidu has also developed a quantum chip with 36 qubits.

Revolutionary quantum computing technology,which uses the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems inaccessible to classical computers, will lead to the development of artificial intelligence (AI), computational biology and the creation of new types of materials. However, a large gap remains between quantum devices and services.
Feature of "Qian Shi", superconductingindustrial-grade quantum computer in that it combines a hardware platform with Baidu's own software stack. In addition to this infrastructure, there are many practical quantum applications, such as quantum algorithms. They are used to develop new materials for lithium batteries or model protein folding.
Baidu Research Institute of Quantum Computingwas founded in March 2018 by Runyao Duan, PhD, Founding Director of the Center for Quantum Software and Information at the University of Technology Sydney. With quantum computing playing a critical role in next-generation computing technology, the company aims to integrate quantum technology into Baidu's core business and the institute to become the world's leading quantum artificial intelligence (AI) research center.
