"Newly set up and implement major provincial science and technology projects in the field of quantum information technology. Provinces and cities have invested a total of 2.02 billion yuan (RMB, the same below) to carry out theoretical research and frontier research in the quantum field, and start the construction of a new generation of 'Hefei quantum man' and Hefei quantum computing Industrial Park." Luo Ping, director of the science and Technology Department of Anhui Province, said on the 11th that in 2021, Anhui will adhere to high-level science and technology self-reliance and self-improvement, build a high-energy science and technology innovation platform, and tamp the foundation column of the strategic science and technology force system to promote scientific and technological innovation. On the same day, the Information Office of Anhui provincial government held a series of press conferences (the third session) on "striving to be the first to open a new bureau". Luo Ping introduced the scientific and technological development of Anhui Province in 2021 around Anhui's efforts to build an influential source of scientific and technological innovation. In recent years, focusing on the top ten emerging industries, Anhui has explored and adopted new mechanisms such as directional entrustment and ranking, organized and implemented major technological breakthrough and achievement maturation transformation, and achieved a number of leading breakthroughs. In 2021, focusing on solving the technical problem of "stuck neck", a special project of "exposing the list and taking the lead" was set up in the major science and technology projects of Anhui Province, 13 lists were released for heroes' posts at home and abroad, and 9 projects such as "superconducting quantum computing ultra-low temperature microwave interconnection system" were selected. Among them, the "superconducting quantum computing ultra-low temperature microwave interconnection system" project will develop a 100-200 bit superconducting quantum computer ultra-low temperature microwave signal transmission system, breaking the pattern of relying on imports. In addition, the "double carbon" science and technology innovation project was established. Focusing on new energy and carbon dioxide capture and utilization technology, the enterprise took the lead in, approved and implemented the first batch of 11 science and technology supported carbon peak carbon neutralization projects, driving the enterprise's R & D investment of 290 million yuan. "In 2021, Anhui's regional innovation ability will continue to rank the eighth in China and the top ten in China for 10 consecutive years. Among them, the enterprise R & D investment index has increased by one place and ranked the fourth." Luo Ping said that in 2021, Anhui achieved remarkable breakthroughs in science and technology, the "Jiuzhang 2" and "Zuchongzhi 2" quantum computing prototypes came out, the all superconducting tokamak realized the operation of 1000 second long pulse high parameter plasma, broke the world record, and a number of major innovative achievements such as high-precision reducer came out one after another.
