China Mobile has set up the first quantum computing laboratory for industrial application in the central enterprise.

On August 30, 2023, at the forum of China Mobile's "Fourth Science and Technology Week and Strategic Emerging Industry Co-creation and Development Conference", China Mobile was listed to establish the first industrial application-oriented quantum computing laboratory of central enterprises -- "China Mobile Quantum Computing Application and Evaluation Laboratory" (hereinafter referred to as the laboratory), and released the first batch of quantum computing strategic emerging industry achievements such as "Research Report on Quantum Computing Application in Communication Network" and "Wuyue" Quantum Cloud Platform.

Gao Tongqing, deputy general manager of China Mobile, and Long Guilu, vice president of Beijing Institute of Quantum Information Science, unveiled the laboratory. Wang Xiaoyun, deputy chief engineer and chief scientist of China Mobile, and other relevant leaders and representatives of many quantum computing companies such as Huayi and Bose attended the ceremony and witnessed it together.

Quantum computing, as one of the key strategic emerging industries in the future, has a huge amount of information carrying and super-powerful parallel computing processing capacity that classical computing cannot match, and can achieve exponential computing acceleration for specific computing problems. Facing the strategic needs of national quantum science and technology, China Mobile dares to take the lead in the modern industrial chain of mobile information, attaches great importance to the forward-looking field layout of quantum computing and the development of industrial chain and innovation chain, relies on the advantages of computing network, carries out research on key algorithms, cloud platforms and evaluation systems of quantum computing, and builds joint laboratories of enterprises. Strive to inject the wisdom and strength of China Mobile into the development of China's quantum computing strategic emerging industry.

"China Mobile Quantum Computing Application and Evaluation Laboratory" is the industry's first quantum computing algorithm research and performance evaluation institution specifically established for applications in the field of information and communication. It researches and designs new quantum algorithms and forms a quantum algorithm library, which will provide benchmarks for quantum computer capabilities of different technical routes and the performance of quantum algorithms of different paradigms. Strengthen the depth and breadth of quantum computing applications in the field of information and communication.

The Research Report on Quantum Computing Applications in Communication Networks is the industry's first research report on quantum computing applications in the field of information and communication. The five computing scenarios of physical layer signal processing, network layer network optimization, application layer business processing, machine learning, multi-domain network security, and three computing problems of large-scale operation, large-scale optimization, and large-scale search in communication networks are analyzed. The application research scheme of basic quantum algorithm, quantum search algorithm, quantum optimization algorithm and quantum machine learning algorithm in communication network is proposed, aiming to build a bridge for 5G enhancement and fusion innovation of 6G and quantum computing.

"Wuyue" quantum cloud platform is the largest quantum cloud platform in China, which will bring together strong quantum computing power, realize unified management and hybrid scheduling of quantum and universal computing power, carry out real-time quantum program compilation, and support quantum algorithm and quantum simulation computing and other quantum program applications. It can quickly solve complex problems in artificial intelligence, biomedicine, intelligent transportation, aerospace and other fields of computing, enabling thousands of industries.

China Mobile looks forward to working with industry partners to gather wisdom, collaborate on innovation, jointly accelerate the development of China's quantum computing industry, and provide new momentum for quantum computing for the development of China's digital economy.
