Recently, the Anhui Provincial Data Resources Administration issued the "Three-year Action Plan for the Construction and Development of Digital Infrastructure in Anhui Province (2023-2025)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Action Plan").
Quantum information technology drives digital development
The development goal of the Action Plan clearly points out that the number of nodes in the quantum communication network will be increased from 180 in 2022 to 350 in 2025. In addition to promoting the construction of quantum communication networks and their applications in multiple fields, the Action Plan will also promote the research and application progress of quantum computing, collaborate to solve the bottleneck problem, and carry out super fusion and quantum computing cloud services.
Specifically, the Action Plan takes the overall improvement of application infrastructure as one of the main tasks, and states in it:Lay out quantum information infrastructure
Give full play to the leading advantages of our province in quantum information technology, promote the construction of a provincial quantum secure communication trunk network connecting all parts of the province and some urban metropolitan area networks, and jointly build a quantum secure communication network in the Yangtze River Delta. It supports the application of quantum secure communication in the fields of government information protection, national defense mobilization business data transmission, financial business encryption, energy security, industrial Internet and Internet of Vehicles information security.
Actively support the research and development of quantum computing hardware, and improve the research and development conditions and the best chain;Explore the integration of quantum computing and traditional high-performance computing, and study the acceleration algorithm of quantum computing to solve problems in financial engineering, biomedicine, meteorology, code breaking, artificial intelligence and other fieldsSupport qualified units to provide quantum computing cloud services to the society.
Action Plan" through a small column, the quantum information infrastructure construction project is further introduced:
In addition, the Action Plan also points out in the task part of systematically optimizing the layout of computing infrastructure that the development of new data centers in Suzhou includes:Take advantage of the quantum security Beijing-Shanghai trunk line node cityPromote the integration of resources of the built data center, undertake business inside and outside the province, and improve the utilization rate.
New quality productivity injects new momentum into development
At present, quantum and other future industries are accelerating the formation of new qualitative productive forces, and are gradually integrated into the development camp of the digital age, becoming a powerful infrastructure for future social development.
This year, Shandong Province proposed in the "Action Plan for the Construction of Digital Infrastructure in Shandong Province (2024-2025)".Promote the application of quantum communication networks
Relying on the national quantum secure communication backbone network, promote the combination of quantum cryptography application technology and cloud computing technology, and explore the large-scale application of quantum communication. Accelerate the research and development of key technologies and core components of quantum communication, and expand the integrated application of quantum communication networks in the fields of national defense, government affairs, finance, and energy. By 2025, cultivate and form a quantum technology industrial cluster centered on Jinan, and create a number of typical application scenarios of quantum secure communication networks.
Strengthen the future-oriented computing power support, and actively deploy new computing power such as quantum computing.
At the same time, Guangdong Province also proposed in the "Three-year Action Plan for the Construction of the "Digital Bay Area".Building a high-speed ubiquitous and converged network infrastructure
Accelerate the construction of the quantum communication backbone network in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and realize the docking with the national wide-area quantum secure communication backbone network. Relying on the advantages of technology, talents, manufacturing and industry in the Greater Bay Area, we will build a high-level Pengcheng Laboratory, actively promote the construction of the Shenzhen International Quantum Research Institute, and build a high-end innovation platform in the field of communication network and quantum technology.
In addition, many provinces and cities such as Fujian, Henan, and Sichuan have also pointed out in their infrastructure construction plans issued this year that they should promote the development of quantum information technology.
