Tianji 4.0: 500+ Qubit Control System from Origin Quantum

In Hefei, Anhui Province, East China, Origin Quantum Computing Technology Co. launched Origin Tianji 4.0, a fourth-generation self-developed quantum control system, furthering China's quantum technology aspirations. This new technology, announced on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, may enable more than 500 qubits, helping China's quantum computing sector industrialise and scale 100-qubit machines.

Quantum Origin Tianji4.0

Quantum computers have a quantum control system as its “neural center”. Managing qubits on a quantum device requires accurate signal production, acquisition, and control. System calibration, coherence management, and signal timing depend on these systems, which constitute the main interface between classical and quantum components.

Origin Tianji 4.0 runs Origin Wukong, China's third-generation superconducting quantum computer, better than version 3.0. The latest version improves automation, scalability, integration, and dependability.

The development team lead by Kong Weicheng, deputy director of the Anhui Quantum Computing Engineering Research Centre, enhanced quantum chip management and reading using a self-developed hardware and software architecture. This planned design reduces manual system calibration and speeds deployment cycles. Origin Tianji 4.0 and the company's four major software platforms improve superconducting quantum chip modification and testing precision and efficiency.

One of the biggest changes brought about by Tianji 4.0 is the shift from PhD-level occupations to standardised procedures that engineers can do. Shifting from rigorous hardware tweaking and expert-driven calibration to repeatable, standardised methods is crucial to preparing the system for 100-qubit quantum devices. Origin Quantum chief scientist and head of the Anhui Quantum Computing Engineering Research Centre said the launch shifts from prototype-level development to repeatable engineering production.

The framework for mass-producing quantum systems requires this capacity. Mass manufacturing is needed to build devices with higher qubit counts and operational stability for real-world applications in computationally demanding sectors.

The Origin Wukong superconducting quantum computer, powered by Origin Tianji 3.0, was active and widespread, thereby justifying the new system. Since becoming live on January 6, 2024, Origin Wukong has completed over 380,000 quantum computing operations. More than 26 million people from 139 countries and regions use it, which supports fluid dynamics, biology, and finance. The Origin Wukong platform received over 20 million visitors in March 2025, with the US, Russia, Japan, and Canada being the most active.

Tianji 4.0 is also tied to China's quantum computing objectives. The system supports the nation's next-generation quantum computing research. Origin Quantum presents its self-developed, full-stack components control systems, software, and chip integration as a “China solution” to help China overcome the engineering and technological challenges of scalable quantum computing and dominate the global quantum technology competition.

Even so little details regarding the next-generation system are available, Tianji 4.0's characteristics imply a continuous strategic focus on hardware-software co-design, system stability even with growing qubit counts, and industrial-scale deployment. The Chinese quantum ecosystem appears to be prioritising modular and high-throughput quantum systems.

The Effects

Origin Quantum's Tianji 4.0 deployment will be judged not just by technical performance measures but also by its ability to offer a repeatable basis for the larger distribution of quantum technology in China and maybe worldwide.

Quantum computing breakthroughs like Tianji 4.0 may effect adjacent sectors like artificial intelligence. Quantum computing might reduce AI training time from weeks to hours, say experts. China's first quantum computing and data medicine institution in Hefei and its successful optimisation of a billion-parameter AI model on the Origin Wukong system demonstrate the interconnection of these technical advances.
