This represents a substantial upgrade from its predecessor, which contained only 66 qubits. The new processor utilizes transmon qubits, which are specifically designed to minimize sensitivity to external disturbances, thereby enhancing computational stability.<\/p>\n<p>In benchmark tests published in Physical Review Letters on March 3, 2025, the Chinese quantum processor demonstrated performance that was approximately 1 million times faster than Google\u2019s Sycamore chip on specific sampling tasks.
