Abstract

Abstract:

Quantum computing is at a critical stage of parallel development in theoretical research, engineering development, application exploration, and industrialization cultivation. The hardware performance of quantum computing processors still cannot meet the requirements of solving large-scale application problems. Quantum-classical fused computing combines the advantages of quantum computing and classical computing, providing new ideas and methods for solving certain complex problems, and gradually becoming a research highlight. Firstly, this paper analyzes the concept, key technologies, and current development situation of quantum-classical fused computing. Then, it looks forward to the development trend of quantum-classical fused computing. Finally, it puts forward corresponding suggestions to promote the high-quality development of quantum-classical fused computing.

Key words: quantum-classical fused computing, quantum computing, development situation, suggestion
