Chapter 146 The efficacy of quantum chips

The quantum chip research carried out by Chen Yuan is absolutely unprecedented.

In fact, even now, there are no rivals in the chip market of major countries.

If we put it in the past, the research and development of quantum chips would still be able to overtake others in a corner and scare those overseas.

When hearing Chen Yuan speak so confidently, Ying Ludong was a little puzzled: "Why?"

Chen Yuan smiled calmly and said slowly: "It's actually very simple. Everyone knows that ASML is the dominant player in the field of lithography machines. Most of today's chips are manufactured using lithography machines."

"Therefore, if ASML wants to continue to dominate the photolithography machine market, in addition to ensuring continued technological leadership, another major premise is that chip manufacturing requires photolithography machines."

Nowadays, major countries have developed lithography machines that are more advanced than ASML, but if they have not been developed, quantum chips can show their greatest role.

That is to develop such a chip without using a photolithography machine at all.

Although they are both called chips, the principles of traditional digital chips and quantum chips are different, just like the situation when mechanical calculators developed into digital calculators.

The manufacturing of quantum chips does not use masks or photoresists. In principle, traditional digital chips use the unidirectional conductivity of PN junctions.

"I think with the current use of chips, we cannot fully utilize the full performance of quantum chips."

The computing power of quantum computers far exceeds that of classical computers, and its computing power is millions or even billions of times that of classical computers.

Humans cannot make digital calculators using the equipment used to make mechanical calculators.

However, Ying Ludong thinks that researching such quantum chips will lead to a problem, that is, excessive performance.

This huge gap in computing power makes it possible for quantum computers to replace millions of servers in the future, which will save massive costs.

In fact, we can understand it better if we first understand the lithography machine.

Quantum chips use qubits, and the core algorithm behind them is superposition state, while memory chips also need to use quantum entanglement.

However, Chen Yuan didn't think so. He shook his head and said: "For ordinary people like us, we may already feel that the current chips have excessive performance and low prices. It seems that there is no need to develop quantum chips. In fact, this is not the case."

“In many scientific research projects, the slow progress is often caused by the insufficient computing power of current traditional computers.”

This potential has been foreseen by Dad Ma.

He once said that a quantum computer in the future can replace millions of servers, which will save massive costs.

The server field is actually the field of high-performance computing chips. The current consumer-grade market chips are showing a downward trend. This may be due to a slowdown in consumer demand for high-performance computing, or due to the emergence of new technologies such as cloud computing that consumers no longer need high-performance local computing capabilities.

Although many industries and products are facing growth difficulties in the current market environment, server chips have shown a growth trend against the trend. This phenomenon once again highlights the strong demand for computing power, or computing power, in the commercial field. This demand always seems to be in a state that cannot be fully satisfied.

This continued increase in demand may be due to a variety of reasons. First of all, with the advancement of technology and the evolution of business models, the requirements for computing power in commercial applications are constantly rising. Whether it is data analysis, cloud computing or the Internet of Things, these technologies and applications are driving the pursuit of more powerful computing capabilities.

Secondly, the emergence of new business models, such as big data and artificial intelligence, has brought huge impetus to the demand for computing power. These emerging technologies and models require enterprises to process and analyze unprecedented amounts of data, thus placing higher demands on computing power.

However, if quantum chips do become commercially available, traditional high-performance chips may face huge challenges.

Quantum chips, with their superior computing power and efficiency, may quickly replace existing high-performance chips and become the new favorite in the commercial field. This will be a big leap in the field of computing and will also bring more powerful computing support to commercial applications.

In short, the growth of server chips against the trend once again proves the continued demand for computing power in the commercial field, and the commercialization of quantum chips may bring new solutions to this demand.

This is because the computing power of quantum chips far exceeds that of high-performance chips, and quantum chips consume less energy, which gives quantum chips a huge advantage in commercial applications.

After hearing Chen Yuan's explanation, Ying Ludong also suddenly understood a lot. He understood the potential of quantum computers and the impact quantum chips would have on future computing power.

In the following period, Chen Yuan devoted himself wholeheartedly to the laboratory of Yuehua Gallery, focusing on the research of quantum chips. He used the advanced technology he redeemed from the system, combined with his unique insights in the quantum field, to start this challenging research.

In order to speed up the progress of research, Chen Yuan also exchanged help from some scientific researchers. Together they form a strong scientific research team and work together on the research and development of quantum chips.

Surprisingly, it took them just seven days to successfully create the first quantum chip.

The appearance of this quantum chip is not much different from ordinary chips. It also takes the shape of a very small square card. However, if you look closely, you will find that the surface coating of the chip seems to have been specially treated, as if it were wrapped by a layer of electroplating.

Although there is not much difference from the silicon-based chip in appearance, Chen Yuan knows that this quantum chip contains extremely terrifying computing power.

He believes that the emergence of this quantum chip will have a revolutionary impact on the computer field and bring huge breakthroughs to future technological development.

Chen Yuan gently rubbed the unique chip in his hand, his eyes revealing a huge enthusiasm and expectation.

In order to comprehensively test the performance and capabilities of this chip, Chen Yuan ordered his subordinates to install the chip in a small server for actual operational testing.

This server is placed in the central computer center of Yuehua Corridor. This center is the core fortress of the entire Yuehua Corridor. It is located in the middle of the railroad tracks that span the two areas, but the railroad tracks do not stop here.

In order to ensure the safety of this core fortress, dozens of layers of alloy steel doors are used on both sides. This is to prevent possible vandalism in the future and ensure the stable operation of the entire system.

An NPC engineer stood next to Chen Yuan and reported to him softly: "We have conducted a series of tests before, and the central computer room can at least withstand the impact of a nuclear bomb explosion."
