520 The perfect start is gone
The medium-sized meeting space arranged by Huaqing is similar to the lecture hall found in many universities, except that the back row is slightly lower than the front row.
The rostrum is just about two steps higher than the first row, at most two meters apart.
The rostrum is also very well equipped.
A single sofa with a European-style desk allows speakers to sit comfortably on the stage and express their opinions.
There are possible electronic interfaces in the openings on the table.
Upon request, the staff can project the speaker's laptop, tablet or mobile phone onto the large screen on the podium. If you are not used to using modern equipment to explain, you can no problem if you want to write on the board. When the projection screen is raised, there is a state-of-the-art induction screen.
It is very convenient to write directly on it with an electronic pen.
Before being reprimanded by John Martinis, Jackson Lossy was standing in front of the electronic board, expressing his opinion, writing and drawing on it with an electronic pen.
At this moment, his whole body was shocked by Old John's words just now.
Old John's status made him sit in the first row, less than five meters away from him, it was almost like standing in front of him, and the words just now were almost like exploding in his ears.
Everything else is okay to say, the world's first general-purpose quantum computer has been running continuously for 23 days? Or was it invented by Wang Yufei?
What is this concept?
You must know that the people who can be invited to participate in the conference today are experts in quantum mechanics from all over the world.
In everyone's opinion, if the quantum computer based on quantum mechanics is really invented, it will be of no different significance than the invention of the steam engine at the end of the 17th century and the success of the first industrial revolution.
The first industrial revolution will take more than half a century to brew, but by this era, the all-powerful Internet has allowed the entire world to move information at the speed of light. If quantum computers are really developed, the fifth industrial revolution will unfold vigorously, and God knows how far human technology will develop.
Yes, in the eyes of the participants, the invention of the quantum computer will undoubtedly be the beginning of a new industrial revolution.
If what John Sr. said is true, then this conference will undoubtedly witness the beginning of a new era.
This is still very likely.
With Old John's identity and status, no matter what aspect he looks at, if this is not true, there is really no need to gamble on his hard-earned reputation to stand up for Wang Yufei.
Countless people were excited.
However, Jackson Lossy, who was standing on the stage, was completely dumbfounded.
If the other people in the meeting are witnesses to history, then what is he?
Success has become the backdrop for the beginning of an era?
At today's meeting, whether it is John Lao or Wang Yufei, if he really comes up with evidence of the existence of quantum computers, everyone will think of him when they mention quantum computers in the future, and it is not a positive thought, and they may not even remember the name.
"When it comes to quantum computers, there's another interesting thing you might not know. At a symposium of world-class scientists where quantum computers were officially unveiled to the world, there was a neurotic who made a big splash at the conference, and the father of the quantum computer didn't understand quantum physics at all, kids, don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Yes, at this very moment, Jackson Lossy has already made up the evaluation of his future sons, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
He only hoped that all this was true now, and he wanted to loudly refute Old John's ridiculous statement, but when he saw Old John, who was standing under the rostrum with a serious face, he couldn't refute it anymore.
He wanted to say something else, but his mind went blank, and he felt like hundreds of people in the room were waiting to see his jokes and see him humiliated.
Yes, the content of Old John's sudden official announcement was so amazing that the brain of the genius physicist in Kangaroo Country, who many people had high hopes for, was shut down.
But in fact, Jackson Lossy is really thinking too much.
In fact, this is a mistake that many people make.
I take myself too seriously.
He always felt that he was the center of attention in the crowd wherever he went, and everyone's attention would be on him.
So people who are always super good with this mentality tend to make wrong judgments about their own situations.
Once you make a fool of yourself in public, your mentality will immediately collapse, and you don't think about how to deal with it, but you keep feeling sorry for yourself, how can this happen? What should I do if I lose face?
But in reality, there are only a few people who really take this matter to heart.
People who want to see his jokes are also in the minority.
Because at this moment everyone is amazed at what old John said, who has the time to make a joke about a so-called young genius physicist who has not yet proven himself?
"You're not kidding, are you? Old John, if there really is a quantum computer that can run stably for twenty-three days, why have you never heard of it? It hasn't been announced!" Serge Arroche, a world-renowned physicist sitting in the first row of the audience, suddenly stood up, separated by about five people, and asked Old John, who was still standing there smiling proudly.
He is not only a professor at the University of France, but also a member of the European Physical Society and the American Physical Society, and his most outstanding achievement is the invention of a groundbreaking experimental method that can measure and manipulate individual quantum systems, for which he won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2012.
That's right, this is a standard modern quantum physics leader.
His question also represented the voice of 90% of the scholars attending the meeting.
As for Jackson Lossey, who has been speaking just now.
Who is this young man?
"Of course, Serge, would I lie about this kind of thing, and what good will it do me?" replied Old John majestically, but his eyes subconsciously crossed Serge Aroche and glanced at Wang Yufei, who was also sitting in the first row, but far away.
His young idol didn't look at him, nor did he see joy or anger, but just looked at the stage in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
Serge Arrosh noticed John Martinis's gaze, and subconsciously turned his head to look behind him, and then slapped his head hard.
He heard old John's words very clearly.
The proposer of the third constant conjecture solved three of the equations of the Yufei Seven and designed a quantum computer that has been in continuous operation for 23 days.
So the quantum computer was not designed by Old John, why did he ask Old John, isn't it good to ask the Lord directly?
"Mr. Wang Yufei, is what John said true? You have really designed a general-purpose quantum computer that can run for a long time?" Serge asked, staring at Wang Yufei.
This is definitely the question that everyone at the scene wants to ask, and at this moment, everyone's attention is focused on Wang Yufei, who has been very quiet.
......
Wang Yufei didn't understand why the situation had developed like this.
He didn't attach much importance to this meeting, after all, the most important things carried by this meeting had already been done before the meeting. And the effect is super good, after signing Old John to the laboratory, Xiaozhi 2 has been put on the agenda, and the scientific literacy of all researchers and assistant researchers in the laboratory has been significantly improved in the quantum area.
Having a famous teacher to guide you can make progress much faster than fooling around on your own.
Even if John Sr. resigns and returns to China in five years, the people in the lab will be able to grow up and support the whole lab.
Wang Yufei is still quite pleased with this.
What I never expected was that Old John's temper was so upright and fiery, and he flipped the table directly without saying a word!
Looking at Jackson Lossy's unpredictable face on the stage, Wang Yufei began to embarrass him.
There's no need for it!
If his peers don't believe it, they don't believe it, and he never thought of changing other people's minds.
It is even less necessary to refute it in person.
Although Wang Yufei doesn't mind that everyone knows about Ash's existence, there is no need to show off anything at this time.
Because he felt that Ash was not perfect enough and not convincing enough.
After all, he had ridiculed the imperfection of the quantum computer released by Google on Weibo, so Wang Yufei hoped that when Xiaozhi officially met with the public, no one could find fault with it.
As a Taurus boy, Wang Yufei is a very conservative realist, as the zodiac sign describes.
There's little benefit to officially unveiling your own quantum computer at this type of conference.
After a while, let Ash shine directly at the press conference, invite some of today's live leaders, and then turn out the Weibo that he bet with Google before, and talk to Google over the air, whether it is time to honor the previous bet, this is the perfect way for Ash to appear.
On the day it was born, it first brought a net profit of 500 million US dollars to Yuxin Technology, which was the perfect start.
What's the matter of announcing it in public today?
However, when Serge Aroche asked him directly, Wang Yufei thought about it and nodded and said sincerely: "That's right, the laboratory is named Xiaozhi, according to my understanding, Xiaozhi should be the most advanced quantum computer in the world." As for the twenty-three days of operation, it was not that there was a problem, but that we felt that the test time was long enough, so we took the initiative to stop the test and began to add some qubits to it, as well as more advanced input and output devices. ”
He was not prepared to deal with these scholars, especially this Professor Serge Arroche.
After all, he is a Nobel laureate, and his achievements can be said to have guided the development of the entire industry in recent years.
"Well, I have a reluctant request, I wonder if my friend and I have had the pleasure of visiting. All it takes is a glance. Serge said earnestly, his eyes ticking as if a flame was beating.
"Hmm, this ......" Wang Yufei hesitated for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange a time." ”
Just look at it, it's all been officially announced by Old John, and there won't be a missing part at a glance, right?
