Chapter 1181: Bowstruck Bird

On the first day of April, a major event happened in the computer industry.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences quantum computer research team suddenly made a high-profile announcement that great progress has been made in the research of quantum computers! The head of the research team announced that they have developed a quantum computer processor based on carbon-based semiconductor technology. This processor will be unprecedented and groundbreaking compared to other research results in the field of quantum computers.
According to relevant sources, the processor mainly uses some features of Mayorana Fermion, and the performance it has shown has reached 90 qubits.
When the incident just happened, many scientific research dogs who were engaged in the field of integrated circuit design and information technology research had just ended their weekend holidays and came to their workplaces with their sleepy eyes.
When they saw the news through various channels, many people subconsciously glanced at the calendar and confirmed that today was not the 4th, and then surprised expressions appeared on their faces.
A quantum computer with 90 qubits!
Is this going to heaven?
After learning about the situation, almost all people who are engaged in research in related fields, who are just a little bit embarrassed, are starting to retrieve related research results in the database.
However, many people were disappointed that they could not find a paper on this "90 qubits" other than that news.
Not to mention a dissertation.
Even this research team seems to be jumping out of the stone, and many people have never heard of it before. Except for the academic leader who is still a little bit a bit and has published several papers in the field of quantum computing, others are in a hurry to find a few areas that can be used.
This feeling is like a lv5 "brother" in Xinshoucun, with a group of Mengxin less than lv3, pulled a team, as a result, the elite boss of lv10 burst.
This metaphor may not be appropriate, but it is absolutely enough to be vivid.
A similar situation is not without, and no matter which line occasionally has some unspoken stories, it has become a blockbuster story.
Even so, this time it was too abrupt.
The research team only claimed to have done it, but did not give any visible results.
However, even if there are many doubts, not everyone arbitrarily believes that this matter must be false.
After all, it is the team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and it is still funded by the national key scientific research project. The consequences of falsifying the results may be more serious than no results.
It is for this reason that for a period of time, whether in the academic or industrial world, there were divergent opinions on this achievement announced by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
At the forum of a well-known university in China, engineering dogs specializing in integrated circuit design, because this news has almost broken their heads.
【really! I ca n’t even get the results. I treat people as fools? The 90 qubits are still standard quantum computers using quantum gate circuits, so we have to step into Google's set of quantum annealing algorithms. I think most of them cheated money! 】
[Impossible, this is the research team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I think it is still a national key scientific research project. 】
[Key scientific research projects have been ramped up again. Has Hanxin's affairs been over for 20 years? Memory is so bad! 】
[Can you not mention that? 】
[Hey, if our scientists, everyone can be as realistic as Academician Lu. 】
[Cheating funds are available all over the world, not just us! It's good to be able to feed 1.5 billion people! 】
Because the debate was too fierce, in order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, the forum administrators could not come out to start restricting the topic.
The quarrel that took place on the forum is just a microcosm of the discussion on this topic throughout the Internet.
Similar disputes are not just happening in the forums of a certain university. From the collar to the penguin group, it seems that people can talk about this matter everywhere.
In addition to these lay voices, similar debates have also occurred in the technical field.
Only relatively speaking, the voices of these arguments are relatively rational and professional, and they are mainly focused on practical significance.
For example, at a recent Internet security summit, experts from the Information Security Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences suggested that the growing quantum computer may pose a threat to information security and must be addressed in advance.
In the discussion on this topic, many people have put forward some constructive suggestions.
What was repeatedly mentioned was the replacement of the more secure encryption algorithm mentioned in the letter sent by Lu Zhou to Chang'an Street.
At the same time, across the Pacific.
In the Microsoft headquarters building, Nadella sat in the office of ceo, frowning, and meticulously looked at the report in his hand.
The matter of quantum computers is making a lot of noise on the Internet, not only in China, but also in North America.
The vast majority of people think that this thing is most likely an oolong, or it is artificial fraud.
But others can think about it so easily, Nadella, who is Microsoft ceo, dare not take it lightly.
So far, the country across the Pacific has created too many miracles that startled him.
At this time, the office door opened, and tall men came in.
It would be a surprise if anyone who was doing research in the direction of quantum computing stood here.
This man is no one else, just the director of Lockheed Martin's Quantum Computing Center ... or the former director, Professor Schmidt.
From the current point of view, this Professor Schmidt is obviously working for Microsoft. There is nothing strange in itself, but there is no news about this in the industry.
"You looking for me?"
"Yes," put down the report in his hand, Nadella looked at Professor Schmidt standing at the door and said, "What do you think of the quantum computer of the Chinese Academy of Sciences?"
"The one with 90 qubits?" With a hint of taunt on his face, Professor Schmitt pushed his glasses down and said politely, "They live in dreams."
Hearing this, Nadella raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Oh?"
Looking at the questioning expression on Nadella's face, Professor Schmidt continued in an unquestionable tone.
"No one knows the technical route of Mayorana Fermion better than us. In this direction, we are the forefront of the world. With today's technology, it is impossible to achieve 90 qubits. This is no longer a technical bottleneck. , But a theoretical bottleneck! If they can really do it, then we can at least see how they can solve the problem of the collapse of quantum entangled states from a theoretical level. "
This is not a problem that can be solved simply by reducing noise.
If there is such a good solution, this issue will not proceed so slowly.
Nadella frowned.
"Do you mean ... they are bragging?"
"It's like that!"
Looking at the determined expression on Professor Schmidt's face ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Although Nadella was relieved, she felt that the worries that were pressing on her heart could not be completely relieved.
After Professor Schmidt left, he repeatedly checked the report in his hands, almost in obsessive-compulsive disorder, especially the list of people in the research team that his subordinates had collected with great efforts. And try to find a familiar name on it.
However, even if he checked every letter, he couldn't find the name that changed the color of Silicon Valley.
Is it really a bluff?
Looking at the sky out of the office window, Nadella suddenly had no idea.
However, there was a hunch in his meditation.
Every choice you make next may affect Microsoft's future in this race about quantum computers ...
