Don't give me black technology

Chapter 346 "Science" Cover Report

"Huaxia's quantum computer research?" Mentioning this, the editors of the "Science" journal were puzzled, "Isn't their quantum computer still far behind?"

In the field of quantum computers, only a few top laboratories and companies in Europe and the United States are capable of research and development.

"I think it has something to do with deep space technology this time."

All the editors present knew about Deep Space Technology, a company that had frequently appeared in media reports and scientific journals in the past three years.Many of their studies have made many breakthrough discoveries.

Not to mention being published in scientific research journals, even being judged for the Nobel Prize, World Science Award, Turing Award, etc. are eligible for nomination.

Unfortunately, this company has never had the idea of ​​participating in these awards before, and has never sent any materials to the award parties.

Even this paper, strictly speaking, was not published by Deep Space Technology's own R&D personnel, but by cooperative R&D personnel.

"Let me see!" one person said, and the editors looked at him. This was their editor-in-chief, who was also a master in the fields of quantum physics and computers.

It took three hours for the editor-in-chief to finish reading Xiao Bai's paper.After reading it, he raised his eyebrows and shouted excitedly: "That's it! The front page of the next issue! The cover! That's it! This is a big discovery!"

"Deep space technology has really made a big breakthrough in superconducting quantum chips!"

The editor-in-chief is more inclined to pure science, so he didn't think much about commercial interests.

……

A week later, a new issue of the journal Science was published.

Reed, a quantum physicist and Nobel Prize winner in physics, just got off work from the German Institute of Quantum Computing, and there is an extra copy in the mailbox at his door, which is the latest edition of the journal Science he ordered.

"A new breakthrough in quantum computing?" Reid was overjoyed when he saw the cover. The field of quantum computing has made little progress, and it is unknown who has made a new breakthrough.

Before reaching the study room, he couldn't wait to open it and watch it.

"A topological superconductor has exceptionally high resistance to magnetic fields, which can greatly reduce errors in quantum computing... This is simply the 'silicon' in quantum chips!" After reading the paper, Reid exclaimed.

Silicon is an important material in the semiconductor industry and at the heart of most chips.However, when transistors made of silicon are shrunk to the quantum level, they will lose their original design functions, making it impossible to complete calculations.

The paper proposes that the superconductor synthesized by Deep Space Technology can replace silicon and become the manufacturing material for superconducting quantum chips.

"Honey, why are you so happy?" asked his wife, who, like him, also has a Ph.D. in physics.

"Look at this, it's really cool! If this is true, it means they could make their own superconducting quantum computer soon!" Reed handed her the journal.

After reading it, his wife was also incredulous, "How did this company do it? I remember they announced that they would develop a quantum computer not long ago!"

"Who knows! But I really want to meet, if I have the opportunity to visit their institute." Reid said.

"There will be a chance. We can send an email to ask for their opinion." The wife suggested.

"Great idea, I'll write it now!" Reed immediately began to write an email hoping to visit.

……

"It's so fast!" Angedi, the president of Intel, naturally also saw the paper on "Science".

"Is it possible for them to make this superconducting material?" Angedi asked the senior director of the technology department.

"Sir," said the senior director, "this is not the worst case, I have read the paper. In the worst case, they may not only synthesize this superconducting material, but have already begun to manufacture this quantum Chips and computers!"

"Damn it!" An Gedi wiped his forehead. Sure enough, when you feel that one thing can't be worse, the reality will tell you that everything is possible!
"If they are the first to manufacture a commercially available quantum computing chip, it will be a disaster for our company and even the entire computer manufacturing industry! Quantum computing will break our monopoly on the market!" The senior vice president on the side said the president.

"No, never allowed!" Angedi calmed down, "Whether they have the ability to manufacture this kind of superconducting material is another matter. The most important thing is, we have to be ahead of them! Create a new order and rules! "

……

ADM, IBM, Nvidia, Google and other giants are all paying attention to this news.Internationally, many scientists and media are discussing this matter, and some even predict that the era of quantum computers will come soon.

But at this time, there were some opposing voices.A well-known scholar pointed out that there are many unreasonable things in this paper. The practicability of this superconducting material is doubtful. As for the manufacture of superconducting quantum chips and superconducting quantum computers, it is a gimmick for deep space technology hype, so there is no need to overdo it. focus on.

No matter what they say, Xiaobo's paper made many people see that deep space technology has indeed made progress in the field of quantum computing.

Many domestic and foreign research institutions and well-known scholars have sent letters to inquire and want to visit and communicate, which makes the Quantum Computing Institute of Deep Space Technology lively.

……

Meng Xiaobai has always been at the forefront of research and development, and his role is no lower than that of any major research and development personnel, but a piece of news forced him to stop his busy work.

"On May 25th, the World Supercomputing Conference will be held in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States. At that time, the conference will discuss and research related issues in the field of supercomputing, and formulate relevant standards for the quantum computing industry." Yu Liming brought this news to Meng Xiaobai .

He said: "Mr. Meng, we must go to this conference. Especially in the development of standards in the field of quantum computing, we cannot live without us!"

The World Supercomputing Conference is an annual computing event.There will be the participation of the world's top enterprises, research institutions and universities, and the participants are also the world's top experts and scholars.

The organizer of this provincial capital is the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the largest non-profit professional technical society in the world, with hundreds of thousands of members all over the world.

"It seems that we didn't say that we will formulate standards in the field of quantum computing before?" Meng Xiaobai wondered.

"Yes, there was no such event at this conference. This is a new addition. It is said that it was jointly proposed by companies such as Intel and Google. They believe that quantum computing and quantum computer technology have developed to a relatively reliable stage, and international industry standards should be formulated. .” Yu Liming said.

"Suddenly propose at this time...with bad intentions!" Meng Xiaobai murmured.
