中新社合肥11月8日电 (记者 张俊)中国首款可互联中性原子量子计算机“乾阵”原型机8日在安徽省合肥市发布。
中性原子量子计算是当前量子计算的主流技术路线之一,该技术路线通过“光镊”阵列囚禁中性原子构建量子比特,具有扩展性强、运算保真度高、易于多机协同互联等特点,是实现通用量子计算的重要方向。
“乾阵”原型机由合肥乾原量子科技有限公司(以下简称“乾原量子”)研制。据山西大学光电研究所教授、乾原量子董事长李刚介绍,“乾阵”原型机在架构设计之初就纳入互联技术,是中国首款具备多机互联能力的中性原子量子计算机原型机。
李刚表示,乾原量子科研团队拥有从核心器件、量子处理器系统到多机互联技术的全链路自主研发能力。“未来,团队计划通过多机集群模式突破单机算力上限,面向科研和行业用户开展互联验证与示范,为更大规模量子算力扩展提供可行技术路径。”
当日,山西大学-乾原量子中性原子量子计算联合实验室揭牌。据介绍,乾原量子项目是山西大学光量子技术与器件全国重点实验室的成果转化项目。该联合实验室将聚焦光镊原子阵列、多机互联接口、核心光学器件等关键科学问题与工程化难题开展攻关。
合肥是中国较早系统布局量子科技研发及产业化的城市之一,已培育集聚量子产业链企业百余家。

Andrei Kondrashov, the president of Russia's TASS news agency, accepted an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency while attending the 7th World Media Summit. He spoke highly of China's efforts to promote global artificial intelligence governance and expressed his views on the opportunities that artificial intelligence brings to the media, the challenges of deepfakes and fake news, and international cooperation.

Chinese engineers are applying drag-reduction principles from supercavitating projectiles to commercial shipping, using a bubble-lubrication system to reduce net energy consumption.

The 8th "Smart Society" Forum was held in Tianjin on the 7th, with the theme of "Building a Warmer Smart Society". Nearly a hundred experts and scholars attended the meeting to discuss the opportunities and risks brought about by the deep integration of intelligent technology into economic and social development.

The 26th China Virtual Reality Conference (ChinaVR2026) was held in Guangzhou from July 7th to 8th. With the theme of "Two-way Empowerment of Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence", the conference attracted more than a thousand experts and scholars to attend, focusing on cutting-edge directions such as embodied intelligence and world models, and discussing interdisciplinary innovation and industrial upgrading.

AI technology has significantly reduced the cost and cycle of micro-short drama production, pushing the daily activity of short drama apps such as Hongguo to exceed 168 million. However, content homogeneity, excessive user addiction and algorithmic mechanisms have caused social controversy. Supervision and platforms are accelerating the introduction of regulations and reminder functions to guide short dramas from "pursuit of duration" to "quality content".

As Taiwan is a global hub for AI hardware manufacturing, there is still room for growth in the daily in-depth use and payment ratio of generative AI. The author Xiao Xihui calls for the promotion of the "National AI Productivity Project" to comprehensively improve AI application capabilities in education, government and enterprises to cope with the crisis of labor population reduction caused by the declining birth rate.
