Origin Quantum Unveils Wukong-180: A Game-Changer in Global Quantum Computing and AI Integration
May 9, 2026
The Wukong-180 represents an advancement over the prior third-generation model, with Origin Quantum having previously introduced Wukong in 2024 and expanding capabilities in 2025 to export quantum computing power overseas.
Origin Quantum independently developed all four key subsystems—the quantum chip system, the measurement and control system, the environment support system, and the operating system—underlining a fully self-contained architecture.
The system centers on a single-core 180-qubit chip, delivering roughly 100-qubit-level capability within a single-chip architecture and marking a major upgrade over earlier models.
Origin Quantum launched its fourth-generation superconducting quantum computer, the Origin Wukong-180, which is now online and accepting quantum computing tasks from around the world.
Starting in May 2026, the Wukong-180 began accepting global quantum computing tasks, continuing the push to commercialize and scale quantum services.
In April 2026, Origin Quantum announced that Wukong gained capabilities to support AI computing, launching quantum AI tools including the Origin Brain large model and QPanda3 Runtime MCP, following an initial rollout of AI features in April 2025.
The developments reflect a shift toward making quantum computing practical and accessible within China's AI ecosystems, integrating domestic quantum power with AI applications and signaling a broader advancement of national quantum capabilities.
