Abstract Quantum computing is believed to be the heart of the next-generation computing technology. Our mission at Baidu Research is to be a world-class Quantum Artificial Intelligence (AI) research strength, and to continuously integrate relevant quantum technologies into Baidu's core business. We have general interests in Quantum Information Science with three research priority topics: Quantum AI, Quantum Algorithm, and Quantum Architecture - altogether form the QAAA research plan. As a result of this plan, we develop the Baidu Quantum Platform (BQP), which currently contains three essential products: 1) Quantum Leaf, a cloud-native quantum computing platform; 2) Paddle Quantum, a quantum machine learning toolkit developed based on Baidu's deep learning platform PaddlePaddle; 3) Quanlse, a cloud-based platform for quantum control. With the help of BQP and its further development, we strive to explore more possibilities of quantum technology, to build a sustainable quantum ecosystem, and finally to achieve our vision that "Everyone Can Quantum".
