Chapter 1208

Even though a month has passed since the news of quantum computer technology breakthrough, Professor ARIC of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory still hasn't given up his original view.

It's not that he doesn't believe in the power of land boats.

It's just that he can't imagine that without mastering the quantum storage technology, there is a little possibility to achieve more than 100 qubits.

Now Google's approach is to start with software, which is the recently popular quantum annealing algorithm.

However, even the best brain of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory can come up with a solution that is just to make the experimental quantum computer 80-90 qubits.

As for 524

It's so sci-fi.

He prefers to see it as a political scam. After all, in his opinion, the idiots in Washington, D.C. are not being blackmailed by the third world countries for the first time with some strange things.

Obviously, China is exerting pressure on the international information system security certification alliance to promote their quantum encryption algorithm and quantum fiber optic cable by demonstrating quantum hegemony.

After all, if there is no quantum computer technology, whether it is quantum encryption algorithm or quantum communication technology, in fact, it is completely unnecessary.

With the slow computing power of traditional supercomputing, even if it continues to grow, it will take a century to pry open the Federal Reserve's treasury.

But quantum computers are different.

The exponential growth of computing power is that individuals will be afraid

As usual, he brought his breakfast to the lab. professor arick, who was sitting at his desk, was going to open his mailbox to check if there was a new invitation to review the manuscript.

Just then, his colleague Dr. Cecil was walking back from the coffee machine with two cups of coffee and putting one on his desk.

"Would you like a coffee?"

"Thank you."

"You are welcome Speaking of it, today seems to be the day when xinghai-1 was completed. Are you paying attention to it? "

"I've been paying attention to them all the time, but their performance disappointed me a bit," Professor alika said after carefully testing the temperature. He took a sip slowly and said, "it seems that Jinling Institute of higher learning doesn't intend to give opinions on this matter. Except for the paper that summarizes the nature, there is a paper about the quantum computer after that None. "

Dr Cecil nodded thoughtfully.

"Well It's a little strange. "

Professor Arica looked at him and asked, "do you have any news?"

"I don't know whether it's counted or not. I saw it on their official website," Dr. Cecil thought, and continued, "it's said that they intend to prove the computing power of xingxinghai-1 by calculating the PI."

After a nice sip of coffee, Arica laughed.

"Oh, how many decimal places are they going to get?"

"It's like a hundred times of ten."

At the moment of hearing this sentence, Alick, who had not swallowed a sip of coffee, almost didn't spray it out directly.

100 times of ten?!

It's so boastful that you can't make a draft!

"Count it to next year!"

With a sneer, ARIC put the coffee cup aside, closed the mailbox with the mouse and opened the browser.

Originally, he didn't care about the ribbon cutting ceremony of xinghai-1.

However, it was beyond his expectation that they prepared such an interesting activity for the ceremony.

He thought that the Chinese people would wear the "emperor's new clothes" all the time, but he didn't expect that the lie would be made up until they believed it.

A hundred times after the decimal point?

Ha ha!

But it's OK. Since they jumped out, don't blame him for being merciless when he slapped his face.

The d-wave 3x is about to be completed. If the Chinese think that they need to calculate about one trillion more bits forward on the original basis, and then make up some data to fool the past

He will let them know the cost of lying.

For d-wave 3x, it's not realistic to calculate 3.14x10 ^ 100 digits after the decimal point of the PI in a short time, but it's OK to refresh the record to 3.14x10 ^ 15 digits.

However, when ARIC was content to open the browser and look up to the screen, the whole person was stunned.

He hasn't even logged in to star technology's website.

With only a few headline headlines, they are posted at the top of the news column in the most striking form:

[epoch-making computer! Xinghai-1 has passed the Guinness certification, refreshing the PI record! ]

-- Los Angeles Daily.

ARIC:? "……

It's not just arique who was shocked by the news.

Almost immediately after the Guinness Book of world records recorded the new record, the discussion about xinghai-1 has been on the screen in Facebook and twitter communities.

[isn't Google also working on quantum computers? Why hasn't there been any result?! ]

[I'm very disappointed with this white house. Even in the face of the Soviet Union, we still had the upper hand! But now, first controllable fusion, then the lunar space station We seem to be easily surpassed. ]

[it's the stupidest decision to approve the acquisition of Subcom by EAC! This is how we lose our advantage in the process of appeasement again and again! ]

What's amazing is not only that xinghai-1 calculated the PI to 3.14x10 ^ 100 decimal places, but that it took less than a minute to achieve this!

What does this mean?

It's hard to describe.

But through an intuitive comparison, we can fully understand how exaggerated the terrible computing power is.

Before that, it took Google engineers 121 days to complete the record of 3.14x10 ^ 13 bits with the help of 25 virtual machines, not to mention that this was under the condition that the algorithm specially optimized for calculating the PI was used!

It's nothing if it's just PI, but obviously it's more than that.

Soon, a professor of information engineering, jodriffen, from MIT, came forward and commented on the matter on his personal blog.

Or a warning to the authorities.

With the current computer technology, it is almost impossible to calculate the PI to 3.14x10 ^ 100 bits. Even if we use the latest Longteng carbon chip, we need a white house sized case and a professional team of at least ten people to design a set of specially customized algorithm for it, and then watch it count for 100 years or even 200 years. ]

[if it's summit supercomputer of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, I'm sorry to tell you that this may start from the time when we were fighting for territory with Neanderthals, until the time when I published this blog, I was able to complete the task that xinghai-1 completed in one minute a few days ago. ]

[I have to remind our defense experts and information security advisers that although the Cold War era has long passed, new crises have emerged. ]

[quantum hegemony will become a more terrifying and deterrent thing than nuclear hegemony. With the powerful information processing ability of quantum computers, the people who control them may only need a few small satellites or high-altitude drones, or a paid cleaner, which can let us spend more than a century to build a civilization overnight crumble. ]

[nuclear warhead? intercontinental missile? Maybe we have the ability to counter them physically, but we have to get them out of the missile well. ]
