Baidu plans to donate its quantum laboratory and transferable quantum experimental instruments and equipment to the Beijing Institute of Quantum Information Science. The two parties are currently working on specific details.Last November,Alibaba Damo Academy also donated its quantum laboratory to Zhejiang Universitystudy.Public information shows that on March 8, 2018, Baidu announced the establishment of a quantum computing research institute to carry out business research on quantum computing software and information technology applications. It plans to become a world-class company within five years and gradually integrate quantum computing into its business.
Quantum computing is a new computing model based on quantum mechanics. Different from traditional computing theory, its operation is based on quantum bits and uses unique quantum effects such as quantum superposition and quantum entanglement for information processing. Its core advantage is that it can perform high-speed parallel computing.
at the same time,Quantum computers can perfectly solve the massive storage and exponential time problems encountered by traditional computers when simulating quantum systems, and play an important role in the development of artificial intelligence.
In March 2023, the first domestic quantum computing industrial property rights alliance initiated by Baidu and the Beijing Institute of Quantum Information Science was officially established to help science and technology become self-reliant.
In September 2023, Baidu released its first large-scale model in the quantum field. It also released two AI native applications, Baidu Quantum Assistant and Quantum Writing Assistant, as well as a white paper on large-scale models in the quantum field.
