China’s self-developed quantum computer operating system, Origin Pilot, is now officially available for download, a move expected to lower development barriers and boost the country’s quantum computing ecosystem. Developed by Hefei-based Origin Quantum Computing Technology Co., Ltd. and first launched in 2021, the system has undergone multiple upgrades and now supports superconducting, ion trap and neutral atom quantum processors. It is currently used on the company’s Origin Wukong quantum computers.
Origin Pilot manages core functions such as resource scheduling, software-hardware coordination, parallel task processing and automatic qubit calibration, improving overall efficiency. By offering unified programming interfaces and a standardized driving system, it enables research institutions and developers worldwide to access and program China’s independently developed quantum computing platform.
