China Unveils Dual Core 200 Qubit Quantum Computer Running on Under 7kW Power

Published on 11 May 2026

It avoids cryogenics with just laser cooling

China has unveiled the Hanyuan-2, a dual-core quantum computer with 200 qubits that reportedly consumes under 7 kW. Built in Wuhan by CAS Cold Atom Technology, it uses neutral atom arrays—sidestepping superconducting or ion-trap cryogenic demands. The cabinet-style system uses a compact laser cooling setup, aiming for easier operation and industrial deployment in fields like AI, pharma, and defense.
