China has unveiled Hanyuan-1, the world’s first commercially available neutral-atom quantum computer. Developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, this system uses ultra-cold atoms to create highly stable qubits that can function at room temperature—representing a major leap forward in quantum technology.
Early customers include a China Mobile subsidiary and an overseas buyer in Pakistan, with total orders surpassing $5.6 million. Featuring 100 qubits, a compact three-rack design, and what its creators describe as “commercial-grade” performance, Hanyuan-1 positions China at the forefront of the emerging quantum computing era.
