Chapter 1181

On the first day of April, a big event happened in the computer industry.

The quantum computer research team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences suddenly announced that great progress has been made in the research of quantum computers! The head of the research team claims that they have developed a quantum computer processor based on carbon based semiconductor technology. Compared with other research results in the field of quantum computer, this processor will be unprecedented and groundbreaking.

According to relevant sources, the processor mainly uses some features of the mayorana fermion, so far the performance has reached 90 qubits.

When it just happened, many research dogs engaged in the field of integrated circuit design and information technology research just finished their weekend holidays and came to work with bleary eyes.

When they saw the news through various channels, many people subconsciously looked at the calendar and confirmed that today is not the 4th, then their faces showed a surprise expression.

90 qubit quantum computer!

Is this special to heaven?

After learning about the situation, almost all the people who are engaged in related field research, that is just a little bit of the edge, are crazy to search the relevant research results in the database.

However, to the disappointment of many people, apart from that news, they couldn't find a paper about this "90 qubit".

Not even a paper.

Even the research team seems to have jumped out of the stone, which many people have never heard of before. In addition to the academic leader who is a little bit ahead of time, who has published several papers in the field of quantum computing, others are eager to find several first-class works that can be sold.

This kind of feeling is like a LV5 "big brother" in the novice village, bringing a group of cute new players who are less than LV3 to pull a team, and finally exploding the lv10's elite boss.

This metaphor may not be appropriate, but it's definitely good enough.

This is not the case. No matter what line, there are some amazing stories that happen once in a while.

But even so, this time it was a bit too abrupt.

The research team just claimed that they did it, but did not give any visible results.

However, even if there are many doubts, not everyone arbitrarily believes that this matter must be false.

After all, it's the team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and it's also the funding of the state's key scientific research projects. The consequences of counterfeiting may be more serious than no results.

It is also because of this that, for a time, both academia and industry have different opinions on the achievement claimed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

At the forum of a well-known university in China, engineering dogs majoring in integrated circuit design are breaking their heads because of this news.

[fake it! Can't even bring out the results and treat people as fools? 90 qubits, or the standard quantum computer with quantum gate circuit, so we have to step on Google's quantum annealing algorithm. I think it's mostly a scam! ]

[it's impossible. This is the research team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I think it's still a national key scientific research project. ]

[what happened to the key scientific research projects? Has Hanxin been working for 20 years? Such a bad memory! ]

[can we not mention that? ]If only our scientists could be as realistic as academician Lu. ]

[there are cheating funds all over the world, not just us! It's good to feed 1.5 billion people! ]

because the debate is too fierce, in order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, the forum administrator should not come forward to limit the topic.

The quarrel on the forum is just a miniature of the discussion on this topic on the whole network.

Similar debates don't just take place in the forum of a university. From the Weibo to the penguins, it seems that people can see the voices of people talking about this matter everywhere.

In addition to these layman voices, similar debates have taken place in the field of technology.

But relatively speaking, the voices of these arguments are relatively rational and professional, and mainly focus on the practical significance.

For example, at a recent internet security summit, experts from the information security research center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed that the growing quantum computer may pose a threat to information security, and must respond in advance.

In the discussion on this topic, many people have put forward some constructive suggestions.

And what's repeatedly mentioned is what Lu Zhou said in his letter to Chang'an Street - replacing a more secure encryption algorithm.

At the same time, across the Pacific.

In the building of Microsoft headquarters, NADELLA is sitting in the CEO's office, looking at the report in his hand meticulously.

Quantum computers are making a lot of noise on the Internet, not only in China, but also in North America.The vast majority of people think that this event is probably a Wulong, or artificial fraud.

But others can think so simply, as Microsoft CEO NADELLA dare not take it lightly.

So far, the country across the Pacific has done so many amazing things.

At this time the door of the office opened and a tall, thin man came in.

If someone who is engaged in the research of quantum computing stands here, he will be surprised.

This man is no one else. He is the director of Lockheed Martin Quantum Computing Center Or former director, Professor Schmidt.

At present, Professor Schmidt is obviously working for Microsoft. There is nothing strange about this, but there is no news about it in the industry.

"You want me?"

"Yes," NADELLA said, putting down her report, looking at Professor SMIT standing at the door. "What do you think of the quantum computer at the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently?"

"The one with 90 qubits?" There was a hint of mockery on his face. Professor Schmidt pushed down his glasses and said rudely, "they are living in a dream."

Hearing this, NADELLA raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Oh?"

Looking at NADELLA's questioning face, Professor Schmidt continued in an indisputable voice.

"No one knows the technical route of mayorana fermion better than us. In this direction, we are the forefront of the world. With the current technology, it is impossible to achieve 90 qubits. This is not a technical bottleneck, but a theoretical bottleneck! If they can, then we can at least see how they can solve the problem of quantum entanglement collapse from the theoretical level. "

This is not a problem that can be solved simply by reducing noise.

If there is such a good solution, the subject will not go on so slowly.

NADELLA frowned.

"You mean Are they bragging? "

"That's the big probability!"

Looking at the determined expression on Professor Schmidt's face, NADELLA felt a sigh of relief, but she felt that the worry in her heart could not be completely put down.

After Professor Schmidt left, he repeatedly examined the report in his hand, almost obsessively, especially the list of researchers that his subordinates had spent nine cows and two tigers to collect, and tried to find a familiar name on it.

But even if he checked every letter, he couldn't find the name that changed Silicon Valley's conversation.

Is it really bluff?

Looking out of the office window at the sky, NADELLA suddenly some uncertain.

But there was a premonition in him.

Every choice I make next may affect Microsoft's future in this quantum computer competition
