Since December, after the launch of the AI model by the Chinese company Deep Seek, sentiments in the U.S. have shifted dramatically. Americans have experienced a sense of underperformance in their technological prowess compared to the rapid advancements made by Chinese researchers. A recent breakthrough by a team from the University of Science and Technology in China has placed them in stark competition with American quantum computing initiatives. Their system, known as Su Shongi 3, operates with superconducting circuits like Google's technology, and preliminary analysis suggests it is comparable to Google’s systems in performance.
