Chapter 347: Quantum Processor

Leslie showed a professional smile and said to everyone: "We have learned that the Institute of Quantum Computing of Deep Space Science and Technology has indeed made some gratifying breakthroughs, and we have also invited them to participate in this World Supercomputing Conference." ”

"But we got the sad news that for some reason, their delegates were not able to come to the conference. We deeply regret this. ”

"They're not coming?" Reed wondered, how could they not come for such an important matter? Not only for academic research, but also for major business interests!

Whether it is a research institute or an enterprise, there is no reason why deep space technology should not come. But now that the organizers have given him this explanation, he can't say anything.

"Alright, let's move on. "Now, all representatives can have their opinions on quantum computers, and we will decide the final outcome in the discussions." ”

The conference continued, and commercial standards for quantum computers were kicked out and developed. It is worth mentioning that most of these standards are developed by Google, Intel, ADM, IBM and other companies, for a simple reason, in the field of quantum computing, these companies are the leaders, and others only need to choose to accept or not to accept.

In addition, the World Supercomputing Conference also announced this year's global supercomputer computing power rankings.

The SUMMIT supercomputer of the United States has surpassed the supercomputer of Huaxia, Sunway Taihu Light, and has become the world's largest supercomputer in terms of computing power.

Immediately afterwards, the World Supercomputing Conference announced another piece of news that shocked the world.

Google has announced that they have successfully demonstrated "quantum supremacy", allowing a quantum computing system to complete a task that would take a conventional supercomputer 10,000 years to complete in about 200 seconds!

As if to deliberately compete with deep space technology, they also published this paper in Nature, which is as famous as the journal Science, with a cover and front page, which attracted the attention of the world.

At the World Supercomputing Congress, a representative of Google's quantum computing team said at a press conference: "Our company has developed a processor 'Sigmo' consisting of 54 qubits. Compared to traditional bits, Sigmo processors use quantum superposition and quantum entanglement to exponentially increase the computational space!"

"In our test trial, the quantum processor collected a million data samples from a quantum circuit in about 200 seconds, and it would take a cutting-edge supercomputer 10,000 years to accomplish this task!

Google's announcement has attracted the attention of the world, and no one expected that Google would actually walk on the road to quantum supremacy in advance, and they had always thought it was Intel or IBM.

Of course, these companies are not idle. At the World Supercomputing Conference, they worked together to finally develop a set of industry standards for commercial quantum computers and release them to the world.

……

The media at home and abroad are reporting on these things, the Washington Post: "Google announces 'quantum supremacy', the supercomputing conference announces the standard for commercial quantum computers, and American companies will once again lead the era of quantum computing!"

USA Today: "IEEE announced a new standard for quantum computers and expressed regret that Deep Space Technology was unable to attend the supercomputing conference on time. ”

Wall Street Journal: "Google has made a big breakthrough in quantum computing, and quantum computers are about to be commercialized!"

Le Monde in France, Daily News in the island country, The Times in the United Kingdom...... In China, there are also many news media reports on this matter.

"Google is on the verge of quantum supremacy?"

"I'm going, is Google so good? Complete the computing tasks that a supercomputer can only complete in 10,000 years!"

"Quantum computer standards have been set, why didn't Deep Space Technology participate?"

"Yes, the World Supercomputing Conference, such an important matter, why don't deep space science and technology participate?

Doubts abounded, and some people speculated: "The reason why Deep Space Technology does not participate is because they are not qualified in the field of quantum computing! To put it bluntly, they are only starting to research now, and companies such as Intel and ADM have been researching quantum computers for a long time, and Google has even made a 54-qubit quantum processor Sigmo." ”

"The reason why they didn't go to the World Supercomputing Conference was because they didn't qualify!

There are also foreign scholars who spoke, saying that "the research of deep space science and technology on superconducting materials is completely conjecture, and the superconducting materials they envision cannot be manufactured." ”

Rumors are rife, and the most important thing is that various countries are already updating the commercial standards of quantum computers according to the content of this World Supercomputing Conference.

Of course, it was impossible for Deep Space Technology to sit idly by, and soon, Deep Space Semiconductor held a press conference to answer these questions.

At the press conference, there were many media visits, and Yu Liming, CEO of Deep Space Semiconductor, presided over the press conference.

"Mr. Yu, why did Deep Space Technology not participate in the World Supercomputing Conference this time, some people say that Deep Space Technology does not have related technologies, is this true?" the reporter asked.

"Of course it's fake!" Yu Liming said, "The reason why we didn't participate in the World Supercomputer Conference is that our engineers and research team didn't get visas before May 25, which affected the entry." All of our procedures are compliant. ”

"Here, I would like to say that certain international academic organizations should aim for academic research, not for commercial gain!"

Here, he almost scolded the IEEE Association by name.

"Mr. Yu, what do you think of Google's announcement of 'quantum supremacy'? Will Google become the leader of the quantum computing era?" another reporter asked.

"Google's quantum supremacy is just a ridiculous statement. Yu Liming shook his head, "As far as I know, they claim to have developed a processor with 54 qubits, but in fact, only 53 of them can work effectively. ”

In addition, their testing method is quite clever in that they are guessing random data sampling, not specific analysis and processing of big data. It's like putting primitive people and modern people in the jungle to test their survival ability, and then telling everyone that primitive people are smarter than modern people!"

"Such an experiment is simply a change of concept, and it is not worthy of being called mastering quantum supremacy!"

"So, may I ask, what do you think of the quantum computer industry standard announced by the World Supercomputing Conference, deep space semiconductors or deep space technology? Will your quantum computer adopt this standard?"
