The Chinese superconducting computer Origin Wukong has integrated post-quantum encryption (PQC) architecture. The system has already completed over 1 million computational tasks in a secure mode, according to Global Times.
The 72-qubit computer uses the built-in software module Origin Rock. This 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. The technology is already being tested by Chinese enterprises and government institutions.
Since its public launch, Origin Wukong has been operational for over two years. During this time, the system has recorded 49 million visits from users in 192 countries.
The implementation of protection aligns with China’s plan to establish national standards for post-quantum cryptography. Authorities aim to approve these standards within the next three years to ensure the security of critical infrastructure.
In May, developers at Quantus stated that the cryptocurrency industry is not yet ready to transition to post-quantum cryptography, despite advancements in such computations.
