According to the agreement, Origin Quantum plans to export its self-developed quantum technologies to support Spain's computing center and a classical-quantum hybrid computing cloud service platform. The collaboration will also focus on researching quantum-resistant encryption technologies to enhance information security.
Javier Romero, chairman of the ChinaLink ESGt, said that Spain plans to build a 1,000-megawatt hyperscale data center integrating classical GPU infrastructure with quantum computing facilities. The quantum component will be co-developed by Origin Quantum and other partners.
Guo Guoping, chief scientist at Origin Quantum and a professor at the University of Science and Technology of China, said that the partnership will accelerate the commercialization of quantum technologies, and pave the way for a joint "Belt and Road" laboratory to deepen innovation synergy.
Headquartered in the Hefei National High-tech Industry Development Zone, Origin Quantum is China's first company capable of delivering complete superconducting quantum computers. It owns the country's only independent superconducting quantum computer manufacturing chain. Its third-generation superconducting quantum computer, Origin Wukong, has provided computing services to users in 139 countries and regions, emerging as a flagship product in China's quantum technology exports.
