Origin Wukong-180
Origin Wukong-180 is a superconducting circuits quantum computer operated by Origin Quantum in China. It has 180 physical qubits. It ranks 6 of 43 superconducting machines in this table by physical qubit count. 8 sourced specs are in the spec sheet. 5 published benchmark or milestone records are listed below, each marked by who measured it.
Also known as fourth-generation Origin Wukong
Origin Quantum's fourth-generation machine, unveiled on 14 May 2026 and described as integrated into its cloud platform. The 180 count is computational qubits; 251 separate coupling qubits are also reported. All fidelity and coherence figures are vendor-reported, and the claim of fine-tuning a billion-parameter model on it has no independent check.
Spec sheet
Technical details as the builder or a paper states them, each with its own source. A blank is a fact we could not source, not a zero. Fidelity and coherence figures are in the benchmark table below.
| Spec | Value | Basis | Note | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Processor | Single-core superconducting chip with 180 computational qubits and 251 coupling qubits | Vendor reported | Global Times calls it a single-core 180-qubit chip; the 251 coupling qubit count appears only in Quantum Computing Report. | quantumcomputingreport.comszzg.gov.cn |
| Couplers | 251 | Vendor reported | Reported as coupling qubits rather than couplers, a high coupler-to-qubit ratio meant to reduce parallel gate errors. | quantumcomputingreport.com |
| Cooling and environment | Ultra-low-temperature dilution refrigeration unit with electromagnetic shielding | Vendor reported | Quantum Computing Report says the chip is kept at millikelvin-class temperatures; no figure given. | quantumcomputingreport.com |
| Fabrication | Origin Quantum self-developed chip system; company runs China first quantum chip production line | Vendor reported | Company statement that chip, control, environment support and operating systems are all self-developed. | chinadaily.com.cnszzg.gov.cn |
| Software | QPanda3 SDK and Runtime (with MCP tools), Origin Pilot operating system | Vendor reported | Quantum Computing Report names the operating system Origin Sinan while the cloud portal calls it Origin Pilot. | qcloud.originqc.com.cnszzg.gov.cn |
| Cloud platforms | Origin Quantum Cloud (OriginQ Cloud) | Vendor reported | The cloud portal lists Origin Wukong at 180 bits; China Daily says it accepts tasks globally. | qcloud.originqc.com.cnchinadaily.com.cn |
| Access and pricing | Cloud; accepting tasks worldwide since May 2026; free time for researchers via Research Incentive Program | Vendor reported | No price is published; the incentive program targets biochemistry, fintech and engineering design. | chinadaily.com.cnquantumcomputingreport.com |
| Predecessor | Origin Wukong | Vendor reported | Both name the 72-qubit third-generation Origin Wukong as the previous system. | szzg.gov.cnchinadaily.com.cn |
