A practitioner of the “Fifteenth Five-Year Plan,” the only representative of China’s dedicated quantum computer track

In the area of scalable dedicated quantum computers, Bose Quantum has achieved four iterations and technological leaps of self-developed scalable dedicated quantum computers within five years. Previously, it successively launched dedicated quantum computer product series based on 100, 550, and 1000 computational qubits, validating that this dedicated quantum computing roadmap enables the rapid expansion of the qubit scale. In the first half of this year, Bose Quantum will officially release a newly upgraded dedicated quantum computer from the “YuLiang Great Wall” series—“YuLiang · ShanHai 1000,” successfully constructing a complete product matrix. The qubit scale continues to expand, allowing flexible matching of customers’ computational power needs across different stages and application scenarios. At the same time, Bose Quantum has built China’s first large-scale dedicated quantum computer manufacturing factory, establishing China’s strategic anchor in global competition for quantum computing.

Currently, Bose Quantum has successfully delivered coherent optical quantum computer prototype machines to customers including the National Supercomputing Center in Chengdu, China Mobile, Electronics City, and North China University of Technology, among others. The number of deliveries and delivery targets are far beyond those of international peers, indicating that Bose Quantum has fully mastered the end-to-end independent capabilities of dedicated quantum computers—from complete system integration, stable operation to power/computing resource delivery. It has reached the ranks of international leaders in the field of dedicated quantum computing.

At the 2026 Zhongguancun Forum, Bose Quantum unveiled a newly upgraded next-generation dedicated quantum computer. This is the first product in the “YuLiang Great Wall” series—YuLiang • ShanHai 1000. It is currently the first scalable dedicated quantum computer in China to break through the thousand-qubit scale. In addition to the standard mode that stably supports 1000 qubits, this model also supports a precise mode with 550 qubits and an overclocking mode with more than 3000 qubits. It not only enables scalability of qubit counts across different generations of machines, but also, for the first time, achieves scalability of qubit counts of different sizes within a single model.

Meanwhile, this model has the unique capability to run stably for long periods. It is equipped with an AI-driven intelligent control system that enables real-time monitoring and automatic calibration of quantum state preparation and quantum measurement/control, significantly improving equipment utilization and reliability. It can ensure 7*16h of stable operation. It can achieve practical deployments across multiple scenarios including new drug R&D, materials discovery, brain science computing, power, and finance. This marks that the “development of scalable dedicated quantum computers” in the “Fifteenth Five-Year Plan” has entered a new milestone.

In the global race of quantum computing, Bose Quantum is writing China’s development history of dedicated quantum computing. Bose Quantum’s repeated technical breakthroughs in quantum computing are strong evidence of China’s quantum computing technology moving from “following” to “leading.”

China benchmarks with the U.S. and China, the only “general-purpose + dedicated” parallel quantum computing in China

Currently, Bose Quantum is the only practical quantum computing company in China that simultaneously lays out “general-purpose quantum computing” and “dedicated quantum computing.” This “general-purpose + dedicated” parallel development technical pattern is also rare on a global scale.

In the field of general-purpose quantum computing, Bose Quantum unveiled its self-developed general-purpose optical quantum chip at the 2026 Zhongguancun Forum. It breaks through the high-speed electro-optic modulation quantum control technology on thin-film lithium niobate materials, achieving multiple high-fidelity two-qubit and multi-qubit quantum entangling logic gates. It verifies the capability to prepare superposition states and entangled states, completing quantum algorithms across multiple scenarios such as quantum neural networks, image recognition, and ground-state energy solving for chemical molecules, thereby constructing the general-purpose optical quantum chip architecture and technology roadmap.

As one of the earliest domestic companies focusing on the practical commercialization of optical quantum computing, Bose Quantum has long adhered to a parallel development path of “general-purpose + dedicated.” Guided by the country’s top-level strategic direction, it has already accelerated growth into a leading force in the quantum computing track.

Betting on three major quantum computing trends and continuing to lead globally

With recent strategic deployments in quantum computing by tech giants such as NVIDIA, IBM, and Google, it is evident that NVIDIA is accelerating the fusion of “quantum + AI,” aiming to release practical-grade integrated systems before 2028. IBM released what it claims is the industry’s first “Quantum Center Supercomputing” reference architecture, deeply integrating quantum processors with modern supercomputing environments (GPU/CPU clusters, high-speed networks, and shared storage) and proposing a three-stage evolution roadmap. Google has officially positioned quantum computing, robotics technology, and AI-driven drug discovery as three frontier areas, building a dual-engine structure of “current competitiveness + future growth engine.”

Clearly, these three trends are jointly defining the explosion direction of the next stage of quantum computing:

First, quantum-by-superintelligence integration. The core advantage of this innovative architecture lies in “complementary strengths and on-demand scheduling”—that is, the cooperative work of quantum computing, supercomputing, and intelligent computing, also known as “three-computing fusion.” Only then can we truly achieve the computational efficiency leap of “1+1>2,” meeting computational needs of different complexities and scales—from scientific research to industry—while realizing complementary advantages among quantum computation, intelligent computation, and classical computation.

Bose Quantum’s cooperation with the National Supercomputing Center in Chengdu, Qilu University of Technology, and others is a forward-looking exploration and practice of China’s “quantum-by-superintelligence integration” technology development trend. Based on real dedicated quantum computer prototype machines, Bose Quantum continuously deploys a unified computational power resource management and scheduling cloud platform. Through underlying algorithmic logic, it automatically decomposes computational tasks, enabling seamless calls of quantum-classical hybrid computing power, greatly reducing the barrier to using frontier quantum computing resources and strongly promoting the popularity and practicality of quantum computing.

Second, deep integration of quantum computing and artificial intelligence. By leveraging the unique powerful computational advantages of quantum computing, it can break through the core bottleneck of today’s AI models on the path toward general artificial intelligence (AGI).

Currently, Bose Quantum demonstrates distinct advantages in the field of artificial intelligence with innovative products and technologies including a 1000-qubit coherent optical quantum computer, Quantum Boltzmann Machine neural networks (QBM), and an open-source programming suite (KPP). Specifically, it solves NP-Hard problems that classical computers cannot handle through quantum parallelism, significantly improving AI model training efficiency. In biopharmaceutical research, by building models based on a deep variational autoencoder enhanced with a Quantum Boltzmann Machine (QBM-VAE), it significantly shortens drug screening time and dramatically reduces the cost at the drug discovery stage, accelerating the transformation of technical value into real industrial benefits.

Recently, Bose Quantum jointly set up a special fund of RMB 10 million per year with the Beijing Natural Science Foundation Commission. It is expected that the guidelines will be formally released in the second half of this year. This special fund aims to leverage the technical advantages of dedicated quantum computers to help researchers solve difficult problems in frontier fields such as scientific research and artificial intelligence, and to promote the industrialization and landing of quantum technology.

Bose Quantum has also co-initiated the “China Association for Artificial Intelligence (CAAI) — Bose Quantum Computing Application Innovation Fund (Phase Two)” with the China Association for Artificial Intelligence. It continues to build a “quantum computing +” industry-university-research collaborative innovation platform for scholars across all fields nationwide. It supports scholars to conduct cross-disciplinary research on quantum computing and artificial intelligence, large models, optimization algorithms, and industry scenarios. By deepening interdisciplinary collaboration and connecting the chain from technical validation to成果 transformation, it accelerates the move of quantum computing from the laboratory to industrial applications, cultivating talent for integration and innovation of quantum technology and artificial intelligence, and accumulating outcomes and momentum.

Third, quantum computing empowers AI4S. When quantum computing is fully integrated into scientific research paradigms, it can empower frontier fundamental science fields such as new materials discovery and innovative drug R&D, providing revolutionary tools and possibilities.

With the continuous increase in users such as government and enterprise organizations, research workers, and quantum algorithm developers, the cumulative number of cloud service calls for quantum computing solutions has exceeded 100 million times. It covers more than 900 institutions and has over 10,000 developers participating in R&D. Bose Quantum’s quantum computing power service capability is strong and ranks at the international first-tier level. Bose Quantum’s dedicated quantum computing strength is at the world-leading level. Its ecosystem partners fully cover outstanding listed companies across major industries, institutions directly under ministries and commissions, and large state-owned and central enterprises. Leading the way in achieving 100+ scenario explorations and applications across 20+ industries including artificial intelligence, communications, finance, pharmaceuticals, energy, and new materials discovery, it has also achieved a series of breakthrough results.

These three trends intertwine with each other and jointly push quantum computing from the deep-water zone of laboratory adoption into industrial application, and they will also become the core engine for the future explosion of the quantum industry.

Zhang Guoyong, General Manager of the Equity Investment Management Department at CMB International, believes that Bose Quantum has chosen a practical dedicated quantum computing route characterized by “strong technical strength, controllable engineering thresholds, and clear commercialization pathways.” The company adheres to the strategic plan of “dedicated-first, general-purpose in parallel.” While maintaining long-term R&D for general-purpose computing, it has taken the lead in achieving commercialization breakthroughs of dedicated quantum computing in scenarios such as finance, AI, and scientific computing, with an unlimited future.

Xu Shanshan, Deputy General Manager of Beijing Guokong Jincai Fund, believes that in the field of scalable dedicated quantum computers, Bose Quantum has leading achieved full-chain independent controllability across system manufacturing, large-scale production, scenario applications, and ecosystem building. Especially in the areas of quantum-by-superintelligence integration, quantum computing + artificial intelligence, and quantum computing empowering AI4S, it has achieved exceptionally strong breakthroughs. The dedicated quantum computing technology is in the international leading ranks. It is a great honor to work hand in hand with Bose Quantum, jointly participate in and witness the rapid development of China’s dedicated quantum computer industry.

Bose Quantum, with its outstanding technical strength and unwavering strategic resolve, is competing in this global quantum technology race—earning China a position of practical, dedicated quantum computing leadership that is irreplaceable.
