Chapter 530 Good news keeps coming

"Report! Successfully achieved 52 optical qubits!"

When the experiment ended, it was already late at night and early in the morning, when most people were already asleep.

In the huge laboratory of the Institute of Quantum Communication and Computing of the Institute of Quantum Communication and Computing, Academician Pan and his team members were all excited, because the results came to their great surprise.

52!
The number of optical qubits exceeds 50, directly breaking through from last year's record of 10 to 52!
There is no doubt that this is an epic improvement!
Even if we compare it with the previous information from the University of Santa Barbara: the latest record of 18 qubits, it is still nearly three times higher!
How could this result not excite them?
"Okay, great!"

Academician Pan suddenly beamed with joy, and then announced loudly: "The construction of our quantum computing prototype can begin!"

"Oh ho~"

"Clap clap clap..."

The laboratory suddenly burst into excited cheers and warm applause.

Building a quantum computer is the ultimate goal of their team.

We have the entire industrial chain industrial system, we have controllable nuclear fusion, we have room temperature superconducting materials, we have high-thrust rocket engines, we have space stations, and we are the leader in strong artificial intelligence...

"Take your time, don't rush, just for a few years~"

Academician Pan reluctantly took his eyes back from the equipment in front of him, looked at the beloved disciple in front of him, and explained with a smile: "Mingpai competes with America and even other countries in the world, knowing that they cannot win the competition. We. More importantly, we have actually reached the forefront of the world and are in a leading position! So, don’t worry so much, just get results. I believe the above think so.”

Professor Lu nodded and was about to go back to post it when Academician Pan suddenly let out a startled sound and looked at the computer screen seriously: "Google published their quantum computing paper in Nature, with 18 superconducting qubits! "

I'm on my toes!

The next day, Professor Lu compiled the relevant papers and sent them to Academician Pan for review. If there were no problems, he was ready to send them to Nature for publication.

You are free!

Professor Lu also clapped excitedly, but he quickly thought of this question and asked.

"Academician Zhao stood up and announced room temperature superconducting materials and also preached about dark matter. In fact, he has already made a name for himself!"

When Academician Pan was reading the paper, Professor Lu regretfully went off topic.

Academician Pan replied without hesitation: "Let it go, of course it must be released."

Professor Lu was startled for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Okay~"

After confirming that there was no problem, he said to Professor Lu: "No problem, just send it like this~"

He was refreshed by Academician Pan's words yesterday, and then thought about this issue.

"Unfortunately, in terms of scientific magazines, we currently don't have one that can compare with "Nature". Otherwise, we would just publish it~"

However, now that many conditions are not met, building a quantum computer is undoubtedly a pipe dream. Therefore, the next best thing is to build quantum computing prototypes and prototypes that solve specific problems. This has become their current goal.

"it is good!"

Academician Pan replied casually that he had finished reading the paper quickly.

With so many advantages, even if there are some shortcomings in some other fields, they are not false at all.

According to their plan, the quantum computing prototype must complete coherent manipulation of at least 50 qubits. But before today, they have only completed 10 qubits, which is still a long way from 50 qubits. Therefore, the quantum computing prototype they expect will not be completed until around 2020!
Now it’s fine, it’s a one-step process and we started building it four years in advance!
"Teacher, do you want to let this news out?"

Professor Lu nodded thoughtfully, and after thinking about it in conjunction with Zhao Mo's recent statements and the reactions above, he found that this was actually the case.

Professor Lu was startled for a moment, then quickly stood behind Academician Pan and started looking.

But soon, he frowned because Google’s 18 superconducting qubits were unusual.

The next moment, Academician Pan slapped the table and started laughing and scolding: "What's going on? It turns out that there are only 6 superconducting qubits. It's just through special coding that it has the effect of 18 superconducting qubits. I'm shocked!"

Hearing that the instructor could not help but swear, Professor Lu's face suddenly showed a smile, but he said: "Although it is a trick, I have to say that Google and the University of Santa Barbara did a great job this time ,worth to learn from."

The greater the number of qubits, the more difficult it is to control engineering and the more problems it will cause, which is inevitable.

Therefore, in order to achieve more powerful performance, there are two solutions, one is to increase the number of quantums, and the other is to use a smaller number of quantums to achieve the performance that can only be achieved by using a smaller number of quantums. Although both solutions achieve the same 18 superconducting qubits, their implementation paths are completely different.

The second solution is to allow one quantum to encode multiple qubits by manipulating the polarization, path and orbital angular momentum of the quantum, so that the number of qubits can be doubled with a reduced number of qubits.

The 18 superconducting qubits realized by Google this time are one superconducting quantum encoding three kinds of superconducting qubits, so 6 superconducting qubits realize 18 superconducting qubits!
I have to admit that this coincidence is good, and it can also be seen that Google and the University of Santa Barbara are really powerful.

They had heard about 18 superconducting qubits before, and thought they were directly manipulating 18 superconducting qubits.

Academician Pan said "hmm" and said with a smile: "Learn from each other's strengths and make up for your weaknesses. You still have to learn what you need to learn." Professor Lu nodded, and then sent the paper to Nature and posted a preprint on Arxiv.

After studying Google's paper, Academician Pan called Zhao Mo.

……

Beijing, Wudaokou.

Zhao Mo, who had just returned from an inspection at the Jinping Underground Laboratory in Sichuan Province, was planning to follow up on the progress of human experiments on new formula samples when he received a call from Academician Pan.

"Oh, 52 superconducting qubits have been completed? So fast?"

Listening to Academician Pan's introduction, Zhao Mo felt happy for him and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

Academician Pan's voice of thanks came from the phone: "I have to thank you, Academician Zhao, for all this. Without your room-temperature superconducting materials, our quantum computing research would never have progressed so fast~"

Zhao Mo smiled and didn't say much. He just asked about his next move.

Academician Pan said: "We plan to build a quantum computing prototype, which is expected to be completed by the end of the year. At that time, we will also invite Academician Zhao to come and guide the work~"

"What's not to guide? Let's learn from each other~"

Zhao Mo readily agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Mo went to read Google's quantum computing paper in Nature, and then went to Arxiv to read Academician Pan's paper.

I have to say that there are still a lot of gains. It turns out that if we are three people, I will definitely be my teacher.

The quantum computing jointly developed by Google and the University of Santa Barbara has three encodings for one quantum, reaching the level of 6 quantum 18 qubits.

Academician Pan and his team actually achieved 52 qubits, without any falsehood.

Looking at Academician Pan's paper, Zhao Mo did some mental calculations and concluded that the quantum computing prototype by the end of the year should be able to achieve more than nearly 144 qubits and be better at solving the Gaussian wave color sampling task than it is now. The most powerful supercomputer is 10 times faster, and its power consumption can be reduced by 20 times 10 times; even in solving dense subgraph and Max-Haf graph theory problems, it is more than 15 million times faster. !
"This performance is about 100 billion times stronger than the Jiuzhang- in the previous life!"

Zhao Mo recalled his long-standing memories and felt sincerely happy for their progress.

Afterwards, Zhao Mo called Zhao Bufan and asked him to come over.

"Professor, Li Yu reported that the health department has agreed to start human experiments next month at XH Hospital and designated hospitals in several key places such as Shanghai, Jiangnan Province, Sichuan Province, and Xinjiang Province~"

"...In response to your lecture on dark matter, the American Academy of Sciences publicly criticized you, professor, and then published a paper by their famous astronomer Gupta James, arguing that the dark matter theory is wrong and the MOND theory is correct. of."

"There is currently no news about the San Francisco Project. Some people in America still support the dark matter theory and think the San Francisco Project is very necessary~"

"...In addition, BYD, Xinwei, ND Times, Xinmi, and Sima Chang from Gongxinxin have all sent you invitations and would like to invite you to the Beijing Auto Show next month~"

While waiting, Cai Bin came in and reported to him the latest arrangements.

There were no other things that made him emotionally unstable. There was only one thing that made him feel extremely fresh and a little bit interested.

"Invite me to the car show? A certain meter?"

Zhao Mo asked with interest: "Is this auto show special? Also, has a car manufactured by XXX been released?"

Before his rebirth, Rebus, who said he would risk everything, had not built a car yet. There were all kinds of spy photos and news flying around on the Internet, but he never took those things seriously.

Didn’t expect that Mi would enter the automotive industry so quickly?

Seeing that he was interested in this, Cai Bin immediately laughed and spoke more relaxedly: "It's a bit special. They will release their new technologies, including batteries, chassis, cockpits, smart driving, etc., and even new cars... "

Compared with academic and administrative issues, these gossips in life are undoubtedly much easier to talk about, and people are more relaxed.

After listening to his introduction, Zhao Mo said "Oh" and said with a smile: "It depends on the situation. If I have time, I will go over and take a look. If I don't have time, forget it."

Cai Bin said "hmm", knowing that this was actually equivalent to rejection.

For Zhao Mo, he is too busy with research. Where can he have time to participate in activities such as auto shows?

As he was talking, Zhao Bufan came over.

Cai Bin said hello to him and then went out.

"...It can be completed next month and can be debugged by May."

Zhao Bufan didn't leave any ink, so he immediately reported the progress.
