On this day,

Supercomputing Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences,

Hao Ren is in his office, constantly sliding the scroll wheel button of the mouse, looking at the news reports on the screen, basically criticizing Xu Mang's quantum computer engineering, most of whom said that they spent so much money on what quantum computer, and there are still many people in China who can't eat.

I never thought that

Under such a message, there are thousands of posts, and the content is almost the same as not being able to eat.

Hao Ren sighed, feeling powerless about this, as a top scientist in the field of cutting-edge exploratory research, many of Xu Mang's research topics do require a lot of money accumulation, but these exploratory studies are used as technical reserves for future science and technology.

Constantly pushing the boundaries of science,

explore

look for

Challenging every impossible task, this is Xu Mang... As a result, because of a small screw, it was revealed that the developed quantum computer had a huge quality problem, which made him fall off the altar and become a public enemy of the whole people...

At this point,

Hao Ren suddenly realized, is there someone behind all this? Why did the direction of public opinion become so fast, not to mention ... Hao Ren saw a large number of reprints on Weibo, and the main reprints were those so-called big Vs.

These big Vs have incomprehensible identities but are talking nonsense on the Internet, and their opinions seem to lie in one place, CNN.

"It seems..."

"This is a planned and targeted public opinion attack. "Hao Ren almost realized that the United States was behind this turn of public opinion, and the purpose was very clear... suppressed Xu Mang, they absolutely did not allow Hua Guo to have people like Xu Mang.

Then

Xie Buchen came to find Hao Ren, mainly about work, but when the two finished talking about work and communicated about recent things, they found that in fact, the two had the same understanding of the turn of public opinion.

"Ugh..."

"I didn't think it would be like this. Xie Buchen said helplessly: "It seems that the audit work has not been done enough, in fact, the main reason this time is the leakage of secrets, which led to a chain reaction later, and the United States has the right to speak in the world, which suddenly suppressed Xu Mang's image." ”

“...”

"There's no way around it. Hao Ren said: "Some people look serious, but who knows what is going on behind the scenes, and there are some people who look indecent, but he does things that others can't do." ”

Suddenly,

There was silence in the office,

Xie Buchen wanted to say something, but he couldn't get the words out of his mouth, so he shook his head helplessly, reorganized his words, and said: "Anyway, how is Xu Mang's progress? It's time for the testing part, right?"

"I don't know..."

I asked before, but Xu Mang kept his mouth shut. Hao Ren said: "Maybe it's not ideal. ”

"It's also..."

"Three thousand six hundred qubits, and if there is one problem, it is catastrophic. Xie Buchen frowned and said, "I'm curious about how these 3,600 qubits are done, according to his explanation... It seems to be stacked on top of each other. ”

"Yes!"

"It's stacked together!" Hao Ren said: "Xu Mang solves the problem of mutual interference of qubits, so that the qubits between chips will not have the so-called interference, and these qubits are specially encoded, that is, planar coding based on topological methods, to complete quantum error correction." ”

Speaking of which,

Hao Ren's expression gradually became serious: "Before, we were still questioning this plane coding based on the topological method, but now... Xu Mang actually did it, and it really confirmed a sentence on the Internet in the past, don't question Xu Mang casually. ”

Xie Buchen smiled bitterly: "I hope his research succeeds..."

suddenly

Hao Ren's landline rang in his hand, and he glanced at the number, it was a colleague of his who called, but this colleague was in another field.

"Hello?"

"Director Zhang?"

"It's rare that you'll call me, what's the matter?" Hao Ren smiled.

"Director Hao!" The middle-aged man opposite said solemnly, "This... Is this true?"

"What?"

"What's really not true?" Hao Ren asked with a confused expression, "I... I don't understand what you're saying. ”

“...”

"You... You don't know yet?" said the man, surnamed Zhang, "A piece of news suddenly appeared on the official website of Nature, and it said... The above is Professor Xu's R&D report, a computer with 3,600 qubits took less than 500 seconds to calculate the random sampling operation of 100 million order states. ”

"You don't know?"

"No kidding," the middle-aged man asked, "what's going on now?"

Hearing the words of this Director Zhang,

Hao Ren's brain no longer had any thinking, and his eyes looked at Xie Buchen in front of him with empty eyes, at this moment he could no longer use words to describe his emotions.

A quantum computer with 3,600 qubits,

100 million spatial random sampling operation,

Less than five hundred seconds?

This... What's going on here?

"I..."

"It's... Director Zhang, let me wisp. Hao Ren asked curiously, "You say... Professor Xu published a research report in Nature, which shows that a quantum computer with 3,600 qubits can process 100 million spatial random sampling operations in less than 500 seconds.

Then

Xie Buchen, who was still confused, looked at Hao Ren with a frightened face.

"Yes!"

"That's exactly what happened. The middle-aged man asked, "You... Don't tell me you've just found out, do you?"

"I..."Hao Ren smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry... I really don't know, I'll give Professor Xu a call. ”

"Stop fighting!"

"He's off now, and he probably runs out of power. The middle-aged man said, "Forget it... Go to the official website of "Nature" to see for yourself, this time it's quite special, it's similar to the Magic Horn, the publication has not yet been released, but the news has already come out, and it is estimated that it will be too late. ”

Hang up the phone,

Xie Buchen couldn't wait to ask, "This... What the hell is going on?"

"That's what I said. Hao Ren said: "Xu Mang... It worked!"

Open the web page,

Go to the official website of Nature.

Xu Mang's research report almost took up the entire screen, Hao Ren understood that this was someone from Nature, and re-designed the web for Xu Mang, at this time Hao Ren was so excited that he couldn't speak, but the mouse quickly clicked in.

Just for a moment,

Hao Ren realizes that he seems to have reached the future world.

Followed by

Xie Buchen, who couldn't bear it, walked to Hao Ren's side, and after more than ten seconds, his expression was full of four big words of disbelief.

"This..."

"It's... Succeeded?" Xie Buchen muttered to himself, "We... Made a history!"

"No!"

"According to Xu Mang... This 3,600-qubit computer still has limitations. Hao Ren tried to pull himself back into a calm mood, but... He failed, and let out a long sigh: "But even so, it can't block the light of Xu Man. ”

...

United States,

Professor Merck was just about to fall asleep, and the past few days have been good for him, Xu Mang's sudden collapse has given him time to catch up, although he knows that he will soon make a comeback, but seeing his failure is more happy than his own success.

Tomorrow

The 100 qubit chips jointly developed are to be tested, and Professor Merck is a little nervous, after all, an incident has just happened in Huaguo, a small screw, which caused the whole project to collapse.

"It seems..."

"You have to spend half a day checking for problems that you can't see. Professor Merck frowned and sighed.

"Don't sigh!"

"Your daughter admires Xu Mang very much, and now she is very sad. Merck's wife lay on the side and said indifferently: "If she knows that all this is done by you, I am afraid that your father-daughter relationship will be severed from now on." ”

Professor Merck smiled wryly: "I'm also helpless..."

“...”

"What about making you Xu Mang's competitor?" Merck's wife said, "Your daughter knows that you have met Xu Mang, and she almost didn't make her jealous to death." ”

"Huh?"

"No wonder they ignored me for a few days, I thought... Doing something wrong yourself. Professor Merck said.

"If Xu Mang goes to the United States, I hope you can invite Xu Mang, she now dreams of taking a photo with Xu Mang. Merck's wife said, "As her father... I feel that you have an obligation to help your daughter fulfill this wish. ”

“...”

Time

Merck was speechless.

Let's not talk about whether there will be a chance to meet Xu Mang in the future, even if he does... Xu Yang's structure can't get over that thing.

"Ugh..."

"Let's talk about it in the future, the grievances between me and Xu Mang can't be resolved casually. Merck said: "You have to help me keep it a secret in front of my daughter, I don't want to affect the relationship between me and my daughter because of an outsider." ”

"Then grant her wish. Merck's wife got up, glanced at her husband, and said, "I'm curious... Why is there such a conflict between you and him?"

"The position is different. ”

"The beliefs are different. ”

"Anyway... Not all the way. Merck said.

Merck's wife glared at her husband: "It's all an excuse, you see that Xu Mang is better than you, and you feel a little unconvinced, you weren't such a person before, how suddenly... Become so interest-oriented. ”

"You know what!"

"Forget it... And you don't understand. Merck frowned, although the relationship between the two is relatively harmonious, occasionally there will be conflicts, most of the time, Merck will choose to forbear, this time is no exception.

Then

The phone on the bedside table rang,

Professor Merck glanced at it, it turned out to be Orkney calling, under normal circumstances, when not at work, Orkney would hardly call, unless... There was an emergency, such as the discovery of a screw.

"Merck!"

"We've been fooled again!"
