Chapter 168 A Little Taller Than Guge

"Mr. Xu can support the education of his alma mater so much, but I admire it very much."

After Yao Liming gave a brief introduction to both parties, Professor Tian Yongmin, who is in charge of the optical quantum computer research project, spoke first and highly praised Xu Lei's behavior.

The voice just fell.

Before Xu Lei could respond, Yao Liming next to him immediately said, "Mr. Xu is the pride of our school. I would like to thank Mr. Xu on behalf of the quantum majors."

"This is what I should do."

Since Xu Lei didn't know what the other party's purpose was, the response he gave was a bit official, and he didn't talk too much about it.

On the contrary, Xie Chang, another professor in the field of superconducting quantum computers who wears glasses, heard this, and couldn't help but bring the topic to the real business.

"Mr. Xu."

"A few days ago, Guge's quantum computer laboratory realized the manipulation of thousands of qubits, you should have heard about it?"

Although Xu Lei didn't know why the other party asked this suddenly, he finally nodded truthfully: "Yes, I know about it."

After getting Xu Lei's definite answer, I saw a little worry in the other party's eyes, and then he said earnestly: "Nowadays, overseas countries have surpassed us in quantum computer research, and the country must invest more resources in the future."

"Quantum technology is related to the development of the future era, and we must overcome our own quantum computers."

"In this way, we will not be stuck technically."

"So Mr. Xu, if you can set up a quantum computer research project, I welcome your support."

After listening to Xie Chang's words, Xu Lei immediately understood that the other party was worried about Guge's latest quantum computer technology.

I am worried that the gap between China and overseas will become wider and wider.

When the research on quantum computers started overseas, China took action in a timely manner, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences took the lead in jointly conducting research on domestic quantum computers with the University of Science and Technology.

I just don’t want to let overseas countries widen the gap in the quantum field.

And in order to ensure that the final results can be achieved, they still carry out two types of quantum computers, optical quantum and superconducting quantum, at the same time.

But no one thought of it.

Quantum computing, which was originally at almost the same level, will directly widen the gap several times because of Guge's major breakthrough.

For this situation, it is actually very dangerous, and Guge may continue to show several times of improvement on the basis of thousands of qubits at any time.

Under such circumstances, it is obviously unrealistic for Xie Chang and the others to achieve technological breakthroughs in their quantum computer research projects in a short period of time. The best way is to let more financial talents lean towards the quantum field.

As a company with global influence, Future Technology has established a research center with talents in various fields. It is undoubtedly a good thing for the entire industry to be able to conduct research on quantum computers.

Xie Chang took the initiative to come here at this moment, just to see how far the quantum computer project of Future Technology has progressed.

He will provide technical help and guidance if necessary.

Anyway, no matter whose quantum computer achieves a technological breakthrough, it represents the country's position in the global quantum competition.

It happened that at this time, before Xie Chang could tell his purpose, Tian Yongmin suddenly interrupted: "I seem to remember that Mr. Xu's research direction is also the superconducting quantum type, so I can have an in-depth discussion with Professor Xie."

"This will also allow your quantum computer project to reach the world's leading level as soon as possible."

Although Longhu Light has achieved the technical level of manipulating 400 million qubits, Xu Lei still respects a professor like Xie Chang who is working hard for the development of domestic quantum computers.

In addition, the other party is a senior in this field, so he must humbly ask for advice.

So Xu Lei did not refuse Tian Yongmin's proposal, and immediately said: "If Professor Xie is willing to come to our laboratory to guide and communicate, then I will definitely welcome it warmly."

Perhaps because he has a good impression of Xu Lei, Xie Chang really wanted to guide him.

In the next second, he took the initiative to ask about the situation of the light of Longhu.

"Mr. Xu."

"What is the current state of your quantum computer research?"

"Has the problem with the cooling system been resolved?"

Seeing that Xie Chang was about to discuss the quantum computer project at this time, Xu Lei couldn't help but didn't know how to answer.

After a little hesitation, he finally chose to tell the truth.

"That we have developed our own dilution refrigerator, and the kernel environment is relatively stable after testing."

"what!"

"Already solved the dilution refrigerator?"

Originally, Xie Chang was ready to guide Xu Lei, but after hearing that Future Technology had successfully solved the refrigeration system and developed its own dilution refrigerator, he was stunned for a few seconds.

Because the project team he led was originally conducting research on superconducting quantum computers, he was very aware of the technical difficulties involved.

In his perception, future technology should still be in the research of refrigeration systems during this period.

Now this process is directly completed.

Compared with their research speed in the past, it is hard to know how many times faster.

Even Tian Yongmin next to him was full of surprise, apparently none of them expected such a result.

But accidents are accidents, they don't think Xu Lei is deliberately exaggerating the facts, after all, it's just a refrigeration system, so there's no need to brag too much.

But at the same time, it also completely aroused Xie Chang's curiosity, wanting to know how many qubits the Longfor Light superconducting quantum computer of Future Technology can currently control.

You must know that the Zuchong No. [-] superconducting quantum computer they developed recently can still use qubits in double digits.

So thinking of this, Xie Chang quickly recovered and added: "Mr. Xu, I have a heartfelt request."

"I wonder if it would be convenient to tell you how many qubits your company's superconducting quantum computer can control?"

As Xie Chang's words fell, Xiao Chengyong who was beside Xu Lei was the one with the most active thinking among the people present.

After all, Xiao Chengyong is very clear about the situation of his Longfor Light superconducting quantum computer project. In fact, he could not bear to tell everyone the shocking news a few times before, but he understands that this news may be announced to the public, but it must not Speak from his mouth.

What's more, this time he followed Xu Lei to attend the school celebration, and he was told on the way that he might discuss cooperation with Warwick.

So much so that at times like this the best thing to do is to keep silent.

Leave all the home court to Xu Lei to solve.

It's just that he was quite curious, wanting to know how Xu Lei would answer Xie Chang's question.

Who made that scary 400 million qubits.

I have to say that Xu Lei couldn't laugh or cry in his heart at this moment. He didn't expect that he was just being humble as a junior, but he made such a small trouble in the end.

Regarding the fact that Longhu Light has been able to control 400 million qubits, it doesn't mean that it has to be strictly kept secret, anyway, it will be announced sooner or later.

But the problem now is that if Xu Lei really wants to say it, whether Xie Changtian Yongmin and the others will believe it is still a question.

But what was said just now has already been released. If it is suddenly kept secret at this time, it will inevitably give people a bad feeling.

Finally, after a pause for a few seconds, Xu Lei raised the corners of his mouth slightly with a smile, and then opened his mouth to speak his answer.

"Currently, the number of qubits that can be manipulated by our Longfor Light is higher than that of Guge."

"Taller than Goug!?"

If Xie Chang was surprised by Xu Lei's answer just now, then there was only shock on his face at this moment.

It never occurred to me that the quantum computer project of Future Technology has already reached the world's leading level without knowing it. After all, the number of qubits that can be manipulated exceeds that of Guge, which means that it has broken through the thousand digits.

Thinking that I planned to guide others just now, I feel even more ashamed.

But soon Xie Chang was relieved again, he looked obviously much more relaxed, and couldn't help but sighed repeatedly: "But it's really awesome for young people, I'm absolutely assured that we have you in our country."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left without delaying Xu Lei's time.

At the same time, he didn't ask Xu Lei to guide him in turn.

Because for Xie Chang, his goal is to keep domestic quantum computer technology from falling behind overseas.

Now that the future technology has been achieved, this is enough.

Seeing Xie Chang leave, Tian Yongmin, who had just recovered from the shock, wanted to talk to Xu Lei, but after a little hesitation, he still caught up with Xie Chang.

Only Xiao Chengyong looked at the backs of the two, and secretly complained in his heart: "It is indeed only a little higher than Gu Ge, but this point is more than 390 million."

"Mr. Xu."

"Since you have other things to do, I won't keep you for the noon dinner."

"I have to arrange other matters, I'm afraid I can't accompany you."

"Principal Yao hurry up and get busy, I don't need to worry about it here." Facing Yao Liming's words at this time, Xu Lei responded quickly, then turned around and told Xiao Chengyong: "Let's go there too, Director Ren Long Ke is still waiting."

"It's President Xu."

Regarding Xu Lei's order, Xiao Chengyong naturally had no doubts, nodded and followed Xu Lei to the outside of the venue.

But as soon as he took two steps, he heard a familiar voice coming from behind.

"Mr. Xu, I heard everything you said just now."

Hearing the sound, Xu Lei stopped and turned around. After seeing Yu Hongliang's hearty smile, he said helplessly, "So it's Commander Yu. I didn't expect to meet you here."

"You kid, don't give me a sloppy eye here. Then we will build one of the Light of Longhu."

Yu Hongliang obviously had a clear purpose, he ignored Xu Lei's polite words, and directly mentioned Longfor's optical quantum computer before and after he came to him.
