Hanyuan-2: China's dual-core 200-qubit quantum computer

China's CAS Cold Atom Technology has unveiled Hanyuan-2, the world's first dual-core quantum computer, pairing 200 qubits with a neutral-atom platform that sidesteps the extreme cryogenic cooling most western systems require. In this episode of The State of Tech, The European Edition, we examine what that architectural choice means for IBM, Google, and Europe's fragmented quantum effort. We also cover Apple's reported move to allow ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude as device-level defaults, a randomised trial showing LLMs cutting preoperative anxiety in cancer patients, and Taiwan leaping past Germany in AI adoption.
