Huawei hiq is a quantum computing simulator

Chinese technology giant Huawei has announced a new cloud service platform to simulate a quantum computer called HiQ. The service, in addition to including a quantum computing simulator, also includes a quantum programming framework to develop software for the simulator. The HiQ platform will be open to the public to enable quantum research and education in the field.

Huawei HiQ will be available to researchers and academics

In describing the qualities of its new creation, Huawei said it can simulate circuits at 42 qubits for full-amplitude simulations, and 81 qubits for single-amplitudes, with low-depth single-amplitude circuits that can reach a whopping 169 qubits.. Quantum computing is a revolutionary technology that is different from classical computing. It is also a future-oriented core technology for cloud computing.

Quantum algorithms provide a new perspective on AI algorithms, inspiring better classic AI algorithms and offering more powerful computing power. Huawei has taken a critical step towards quantum computing research and innovation by launching the HiQ cloud services platform, and will continue to invest in quantum computing in the future.

Huawei will make HiQ its initial foray into research and innovation within the field of quantum computing. It has been described as a win-win cooperation between academia and industry. It will definitely be interesting to see how academics use HiQ capabilities and other similar tools in the future, as the world moves further towards quantum computing.

There is no doubt that quantum computing is the future, the uncertainty is in the time that will pass until it becomes standardized.
