China Creates World’s First Quantum Computing Machine
3 May 2017 Chinese researchers ___________ and his colleagues announced that they had created the world’s first quantum computing machine. Regular computers, at their most basic level, process data as a series of _____________ , which limits how fast they can run. The new machine, however, uses photons (光子), which allows it to ____________ 24,000 times quicker. The researchers have not been able to create a _______________ quantum computer yet. Pan believes that this may take another _________________.

1. Why are these two achievements important
With the Jiaolong, China became only
the fifth country to send a manned submarine
into the deep sea.
China created the world’s first quantum
computing machine.
Activity 4: Listen and find out the importance of these two achievements.
2. When did these achievements occur What records were set
On 27 June 2012, the Jiaolong reached a depth of 7,062 metres in the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench.
On 3 May 2017, it was announced that the Chinese machine could process data 24,000 times quicker than regular computers.

On 27 June 2012, China became the fifth country to send the Jiaolong to a depth of 7,062 metres in the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench, with three men in it. While there, they collected samples and conducted research. In the future, this 8-metre-long submarine will be used for a deep-water survey of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans.
Sample summary
On 3 May 2017, Pan Jianwei and his colleagues announced that they had created the world’s first quantum computing machine. The machine can work 24,000 times quicker than regular computers. It may be another ten to twenty years before a fully functioning quantum computer can be made.
