Entity Profile: Origin Quantum (Hefei Yuanyuan Quantum Computing Technology Co., Ltd.)
Overview
Origin Quantum Computing Technology Co., Ltd. (often referred to as OriginQ) is China's first and leading full-stack quantum computing enterprise. Founded in September 2017 and headquartered in the Hefei National High-Tech Industry Development Zone (Anhui Province), the company was established by a team of prominent physicists from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC).
Origin Quantum is unique globally for its deep vertical integration. It manages the entire quantum computing lifecycle in-house?from the fabrication of quantum chips and the engineering of ultra-low temperature dilution refrigerators to the development of dedicated operating systems and cloud-delivery platforms. As of 2026, the company has delivered multiple generations of superconducting quantum computers and has transitioned from laboratory research to large-scale commercial and industrial deployments.

Core Products: Quantum Hardware
1. The "Origin Wukong" Series
The Origin Wukong is the company?s third-generation superconducting quantum computer and its current flagship hardware.
* Qubit Capacity: The system is built on an independently developed 72-qubit superconducting chip (plus 126 coupler qubits for error mitigation). Higher-capacity versions supporting beyond 100 qubits are available for bespoke industrial applications.
* Full Autonomy: Every core component, including the chips and the measurement-control systems, is produced domestically, achieving a self-reliant supply chain.
* Commercial Deployment: Unlike many quantum systems that remain strictly for research, Wukong is a "deliverable" product currently in use at supercomputing centers and government agencies.
2. Quantum Measurement and Control Systems
Origin Quantum produces the "brain" that interfaces classical computers with quantum chips:
* Origin Tianji 4.0: A high-performance measurement and control system launched in late 2024/early 2025. It supports the management of systems with over 500 qubits, providing the high-precision microwave pulses necessary for qubit manipulation and readout.
3. Cryogenic and Manufacturing Equipment
To support the physical requirements of quantum processors, the company offers:
* Origin-SL1000 Dilution Refrigerator: Provides the essential ultra-low temperature environment (below 10 mK) required for superconducting qubits to function.
* Micron Local Laser Annealing Machine: A specialized industrial tool used to modify the frequency parameters of quantum bits on a chip, significantly improving production yield and scalability.
Software and Operating Systems
1. Origin Pilot (Operating System)
Origin Pilot is the world?s first domestically developed quantum computer operating system.
* Hybrid Orchestration: It functions as a "Quantum-Classical-AI" integrated OS, managing the scheduling of tasks between traditional high-performance computers (HPC) and quantum processing units (QPU).
* Open Source: In a significant 2025 strategic shift, the company open-sourced the Community Edition of Origin Pilot to foster a global developer ecosystem.
* Automatic Calibration: The OS includes modules for automatic qubit calibration and noise mitigation, reducing the technical barrier for end-users.
2. Development Tools and Languages
- QPanda: A high-performance quantum computing development framework.
- QRunes: A specialized quantum programming language designed to work seamlessly with Origin hardware.
- ChemiQ: One of the world's first practical quantum chemistry application software packages, used for simulating molecular structures and chemical reactions.
Services and Solutions
1. Origin Quantum Cloud
The Origin Quantum Cloud provides global access to real quantum hardware and high-performance simulators.
* Remote Execution: Users in over 140 countries have utilized the platform to run millions of quantum computing tasks.
* Quantum Simulators: Includes full-amplitude and noise-inclusive simulators (ranging from 35 to 200 qubits) for verifying algorithms before deploying them to physical hardware.
2. Industry-Specific Solutions
Origin Quantum provides consulting and bespoke software modules for several high-impact sectors:
* Financial Services: Solutions for portfolio optimization, risk management, and option pricing using quantum-accelerated Monte Carlo simulations.
* Biomedicine: Tools for drug discovery, protein structure prediction, and molecular docking analysis.
* Smart Grid & Engineering: Applying quantum algorithms to power grid load forecasting and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for aerospace and automotive design.
* AI & Big Data: The company achieved a milestone in 2025 by performing the world?s first fine-tuning of a billion-parameter AI model using the Wukong quantum computer.
3. Quantum Education
The company offers a "full-scenario" education suite, including hardware for classrooms (like the SpinQ portable systems) and comprehensive curricula for higher education and industrial training.
Strategic Significance.
Origin Quantum is the primary architect of China's "Quantum Avenue" ecosystem. By controlling the entire stack, from the dilution refrigerator to the application layer, the company has insulated itself from international supply chain disruptions and established a replicable, iterative engineering process that is currently driving the industrialization of quantum computing in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
