Helium Powers China's Quantum Supremacy

China sees itself as leading the global race for quantum computing, with teams of scientists at creating two superconductivity-driven prototypes. Both prototypes are capable of performing large-scale random quantum circuits sampling and Gaussian boson sampling respectively, a million times faster than the speed Sycamore could produce in 2019. Liquid helium is used to help realise an absolute zero working environment, and a number of startups in China are working on quantum technology to further push artificial intelligence to new heights. We see quantum computing a key potential high growth area for helium demand over the next decade given the cooling needs that cannot be met by other means.
