Zhejiang University Achieves Breakthrough with World’s First Superconducting QRAM Prototype

Researchers at Zhejiang University have demonstrated the world’s first prototype of a quantum random access memory (QRAM) on a superconducting quantum chip. The system successfully accesses 4-bit and 8-bit classical data simultaneously in superposition with approximately 60 percent accuracy. Published in Nature Physics, this achievement validates QRAM architecture and helps overcome critical data access limitations in quantum computing. Led by assistant professor Lu Liqiang, the work strengthens China’s position in quantum technologies.

Quantum Computing Digest — 2022

In 2022, quantum computing transitioned from speculative hype to pressing operational risks, forcing organizations to address immediate challenges in security, hardware, software, policy, fragile supply chains, and workforce shortages. Post-quantum cryptography advanced from theory to active planning and procurement, as delays now posed tangible security and compliance threats, while overhyped hybrid quantum-classical systems faced increased skepticism. Ultimately, the year highlighted that quantum adoption will hinge far more on mastering today’s engineering, infrastructure, and execution risks than on awaiting major theoretical breakthroughs.
