Dedicated Quantum Zone
Global quantum technologies are rapidly transitioning from laboratory development to industrial applications. According to the report "State of the Global Quantum Industry 2026" released by the Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C), the global quantum market size reached US$1.9 billion in 2025, with quantum computing growing strongly at a compound annual growth rate of 30%. McKinsey estimates the market could reach the hundred-billion-US-dollar level by 2035. The " The 15th Five-Year Plan " makes forward-looking arrangements for six future industries including quantum technology, positioning it as a core direction for cutting-edge breakthroughs, and explicitly calls for building an integrated space-to-ground quantum communication network and accelerating the development of fault-tolerant universal quantum computers. In the first quarter of 2026, financing in the domestic quantum computing track alone exceeded 3.2 billion yuan in a single quarter, surpassing the total amount for the whole of 2025.
