Beijing opens extreme-condition research facility


Located in Beijing's Huairou district, the SECUF began construction in September 2017 as the first key scientific facility project in Huairou Science City. It is the world's first facility to integrate ultra-low temperatures, ultra-high pressures, strong magnetic fields and ultrafast light fields into a single platform, according to the institute.
A core component of the SECUF is the Extreme Conditions Quantum State Control System, which provides ultra-low temperatures and ultra-strong magnetic fields to support cutting-edge research such as quantum chip development.
Traditional computer chips face physical limits as transistor sizes shrink to nanometers, where quantum effects cause current leakage. Quantum chips, however, offer a revolutionary solution.
