Chapter 759 Ternary Computer
If there is no foundation, the so-called learning will take at least a hundred years. Fortunately, most of the people on the Tianqin have a technical background, and today's learning is equivalent to reviewing the old and learning the new.

Time passed slowly as I studied and researched the third-generation warp engine technology.

At this moment, the main body of human civilization, dozens of light years away, is analyzing another technological route in order to enrich the entire civilization database.

That is, the ternary computer technology purchased from the dynamic graph civilization, at which humans paid for their own universal quantum computer technology that had also developed to the fourth level of civilization. The dynamic graph civilization was unwilling to exchange it at first, but after learning that humans had developed powerful strong artificial intelligence with the same quantum computer technology, they successfully completed the transaction.

Therefore, it is a technology transaction and also a technology exchange, which is a kind of mutual exchange. And this kind of technology exchange is not just about exchanging the latest technology of each other, but also basically includes the development history of one's own technology in the scope of exchange.

In a sense, such exchanges are definitely a win-win situation and can promote the technological development of both sides.

Today, scientists in the main human civilization are interpreting and studying the so-called ternary computers.

The ternary computer technology of the dynamic graph civilization belongs to the photon computer route, which is the same technical route as the Nair civilization. However, the Nair civilization is binary and is not as advanced as today's dynamic graph civilization.

In general, with the development of dynamic graphics civilization, their ternary computers have become advanced enough to incorporate the triplet state of particles with spin 1.

From a human perspective, this is undoubtedly an extremely advanced technology that even breaks human scientists' understanding of photons.

The triplet state is the quantum state of a system with spin 1, which has three allowed spin quantities, -1, 0, and 1. The dynamic graph civilization has used this to develop their photonic computers to the current level.

This is indeed a technological direction that is unexpected to humans, because in the human knowledge system, the photon spin quantum number is 1, and according to the angular momentum theory, it should have projections in three directions, namely -1, 0, and 1, and the three states are orthogonal to each other, but in actual application, photons only have two polarization states.

Now, the dynamic graph civilization can use these three states completely and accurately, which is a great technological innovation, an unprecedented technological route for mankind. Perhaps the universal quantum computer of mankind will also be a similarly amazing technology for the dynamic graph civilization.

For humans themselves, the optical quantum computing route they are currently taking seems to be a natural outcome, but this is not the case for aliens with different brain circuits.

The photon computer of the dynamic image civilization uses the quantum state of photons, but its essence is indeed a photon computer. As mentioned before, there is only one word difference between optical quantum computers and photon computers, but they are two different technological routes because they are different in concept.

The former is a quantum computer that uses photons to calculate. It uses photons as the basic unit of light and has dual characteristics of ionicity and volatility. It is a quantum computer that is based on the principles of quantum mechanics and uses the quantum superposition and entanglement characteristics of photons to complete complex tasks that are difficult for traditional computers to complete in a short time.

The latter, the photon computer, uses photons as the propagation medium of light, uses optical components to replace electronic components, and uses light beams to replace electrons for calculation and storage. It operates a computer in such a way that different wavelengths of light represent different data, and a large number of lenses, prisms and mirrors transmit data from one chip to another.

However, the current dynamic image civilization has gone a step further. They have pushed photon computers onto another branch of science and technology, the ternary system! The mathematical method used is the Pauli matrix of spin-1 particles. This matrix is ​​a tool for describing spin-1 particles. It can help civilizations that use it understand the spin phenomenon in quantum mechanics and can help intelligent life study the properties of spin-1 particles in different spin directions.

This is how the dynamic picture civilization developed the photon ternary computer.

The general principles of technology are the same for everyone, but there are thousands of branches. If the dynamic image civilization continues to research along this route, they may be able to develop their own unique technology in the future.

Human scientists were amazed at their various creative ideas.

However, when seeing the history of the development of ternary computers in dynamic graphics civilization, human scientists could not help but sigh at the similarities in the development of science and technology.

Because in the data description, the computer at the beginning of the dynamic picture civilization is extremely similar to the birth of the Soviet Union's ternary computer in the human Earth era, and is also composed of electronic components such as ferrite cores and semiconductor diodes.

During the development process, they also encountered many problems with ternary computers, such as poor performance balance, unstable and easy misjudgment of the third state between high and low voltages, extremely high complexity of electronic devices, material limitations and many other problems.

However, unlike the Soviet Union, the dynamic graph civilization actually solved all these problems smoothly, and then successfully eliminated the binary computer, making the computer development path of their entire civilization become ternary.

Of course, there are also dynamic diagram civilizations that are more entangled in the issue of base efficiency, but in fact it is not a decisive factor. After all, although theoretically speaking, the e base is the most efficient, but e is an irrational number 2.71828, not an integer, so it can only be taken up and down, that is, 2 and 3, also known as binary and ternary.

The closer to e, the higher the efficiency of the base, so the ternary base is indeed more efficient than the binary base, but in fact the difference is not that much. Considering the difficulty of implementation, the binary base is the right way.

But there are also some that have taken a different approach and have been successful, such as dynamic picture civilization.

They got through the difficult ternary start and embarked on a smooth road. From this perspective, if their research progress in computer technology is the same as that of humans, then their computers must be stronger than humans'. This is determined by the underlying logic of mathematics.

So if a ternary computer can also reach the highest level, then its upper limit will be higher than that of a binary computer. In terms of the immortal cultivation system, both of them have reached the level of immortal emperor, but I have a higher combat power than you.

In fact, there have been successful ternary systems in human history, but they were not the old-fashioned electronic components of the Soviet era, but the transmission of ternary quantum signals. This was completed by scientists from the Flower Planting Family in 19 years, and it was the first successful ternary system research in the quantum field.

Unfortunately, humans are unable to replace the entire computer system of their civilization with ternary system. We can only warn ourselves that there may be civilizations of the same level that are stronger than us in computer technology and computing power in the future.
