China's leapfrogging capabilities in terms of technology development are well documented. Now, scientists from China claim to have developed the world's fastest programmable quantum computers.

Created by researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and led by Pan Jianwei, the quantum computing system called "Zuchongzhi 2.1" is at least a million times more powerful than its nearest competitor.

Named after a mathematician from 5th century, Zuchongzhi 2.1 performs quantum computing 10 million times faster than Google's Sycamore computing system.

The series of quantum computers developed by Chinese scientists also include the "Jiuzhang 2", which can compute calculations at least 100 trillion times faster than Google Sycamore, the world's fastest existing supercomputer, scientists claimed in a different study published in the Physical Review Letters on Monday.

The saying " Do not sleep on your laurels " should be directed to the US.
The Russians and chinese are catching up and even overtaking the US in weaponry and technology.
The US media will always give their propaganda saying they are in the driver's seat, yet their Generals knows, their enemies have up their game.
