On January 16, 2026, World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) debuted in Hong Kong for the first time. "WAIC UP! 2026" Global Year-End Gala was successfully held at Hong Kong Science Park. Numerous top AI scientists and industry leaders from home and abroad gathered together to focus on AI frontier development and carry out deep viewpoint collisions and exciting dialogues.

In the roundtable session of "Quantum Computing—Redefining Next Era of Computing" frontier technology forum on the 16th, Wang Bingfeng, Co-Chairman and CEO of Digital China, carried out cross-boundary dialogues with heavy-weight experts such as Zhu Xiaobo, Professor of University of Science and Technology of China and Chief Designer of "Zuchongzhi" Quantum Computing, and Ou Zeyu, Chair Professor of Physics Department of City University of Hong Kong and Quantum Computing Scientist, jointly discussing how frontier technologies of quantum computing will enter commercial scenarios and endow AI development with brand new computing power imagination and cornerstones.

When deeply discussing industrialization prospects of quantum computing, Wang Bingfeng analyzed current main technical routes (superconducting, ion trap, neutral atom, photonic, CMOS, etc.) from the perspective of industrial practice. He pointed out that quantum computing technology has not yet converged. Although superconducting route attracts much attention and has made significant progress, it still faces challenges related to engineering, cooling systems, wiring, qubit lifespan, noise, and I/O bottlenecks; while silicon-based CMOS and other technologies based on semiconductor industry accumulation may have underestimated scalability potential due to utilization of existing accumulations in semiconductor industry. But each technical route has a clear exploration timetable and clear development path, has completed technical verification within a certain range, and realized industrial landing exploration in scenarios such as molecular and biological system simulation, material science, weather forecasting, and financial applications. With logical qubit numbers increasing and breaking thresholds, quantum computing may provide superior computing power and value space in solving problems that classic computing cannot handle in the future. This is very worth expecting.

He further emphasized that from the perspective of promoting commercial landing development of new technologies, we should break through the inherent framework of "building general Quantum Computer," turning to focus on "what practical problems Quantum Computing solves." Especially now, the Hybrid of accelerated computing and quantum computing will also accelerate development of overall computing capabilities. Perhaps general, fault-tolerant quantum computers still need a long time for technical verification and breakthroughs, but in the process of constant exploration, we will discover more unknown directions and possibilities.

As a service provider cultivating enterprise digital transformation deeply, Digital China always maintains sensitivity and attention to global frontier technologies, and practically promotes application landing of innovative technologies in enterprise scenarios, thereby driving value leap of enterprise productivity. At the moment when AI maintains continuous activity and high-speed development, and promotes enterprise operational productivity innovation, Digital China prospectively noted disruptive changes that quantum computing technology may bring to future computing power infrastructure. Wang Bingfeng stated that just as AI development moves from single-point algorithms to deep combination with business processes realizing AI for Process, while quantum computing constantly evolves to realize its own stability and universality breakthroughs, its true value also lies in "usability" that effectively solves actual pain points. Digital China is committed to building an empowerment platform connecting frontier technologies and industrial needs, promoting future enterprises to connect with new generation computing capabilities.

At the end of the forum, when asked "If you could only give one piece of advice to the younger generation, what would it be," Wang Bingfeng's answer did not point to any specific technology but returned to a more basic level: "Hope everyone can possess 'superposition state' like quantum. This means we need not only to master our own profession in the future but also to dabble widely in related fields. In this superposition state, everyone can stimulate maximum energy."
