China launched its first quantum-computing global developer platform at the 2022 Quantum Computing Industry Empowerment Conference held Sunday in Hefei, Anhui Province.

The platform has four modules—education, programming, developing tools, and applications.

Its predecessor was the quantum-computing innovation and entrepreneurship platform. Now it has added an English version that will provide comprehensive services for global enthusiasts and developers.

The platform promises online and offline services for global developers, who can learn quantum computing, develop projects and conduct innovative applications online, while the big data industrial demonstration park in Hefei will provide offline sites.

The quantum-computing global developer platform was developed by Hefei Big Data Asset Operation Co., Ltd and Origin Quantum. It will provide solutions for algorithm development and quantum-computing applications for users in many industries, according to You Haofang, general manager of Hefei Big Data Asset Operation Co., Ltd.
