CAS Cold Atom Technology Unveils Hanyuan-2, World's First Dual-Core Neutral Atom Quantum Computer
CAS Cold Atom Technology, a Wuhan-based quantum hardware developer affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has unveiled Hanyuan-2, recognized as the world’s first dual-core neutral atom quantum computer. This 200-qubit system represents a significant architectural shift from single-core designs to a parallelized dual-core framework, featuring a main core and an auxiliary core. This configuration allows for simultaneous computation or real-time error correction, addressing scalability and interference challenges inherent in previous models. Unlike superconducting systems requiring extreme cooling, Hanyuan-2 utilizes Rubidium-85 and Rubidium-87 atoms, enabling room-temperature operation with a power consumption below 7 kW. Its compact, cabinet-style design facilitates deployment in standard indoor environments without specialized cryogenic infrastructure. Following the commercial delivery of its predecessor, Hanyuan-1, this launch aims to lower technical and cost barriers for industrial applications in materials science, geological exploration, and cryptography. The company plans to scale the modular system to thousands of qubits while maintaining energy efficiency, marking a critical step in making quantum computing more accessible for practical industrial use.
