Chapter 383: The Only Supporter
"D-ave's standard is more suitable, and they launched a commercial quantum computer back in '03. ”
"No, I think the Yale Superconducting Quantum Computer Laboratory has a better route, they are among the best in the world in quantum computer research!"
"IBM has cooperated with the Physics Laboratory of the National Bureau of Standards and Technology of the United States, and their system for quantum computers is relatively complete. ”
When it comes to quantum computers, each lab takes a different direction, so there are different opinions.
But in general, they support the best handful of technical standards from the top quantum research centers in the Americas and Europe.
Suddenly, someone said: "The standard theory of Hongxin Group is also very referential. I read what they were doing in the journal Science for a month and thought it might be more advanced than the ideas of other quantum research institutes!"
"Hongxin?" he was the first person to recommend Hongxin Group, and everyone looked at him with a slight surprise.
The man had silver hair, and even his beard was snow-white, and he was already eighty years old. He was wearing a light-colored shirt and was sitting next to a chair with a cup of bitter coffee on the table.
"Academician Rand, do you think the Red Letter Quantum Institute's point of view in the journal Science is the most correct?" asked Tolan Bell in surprise.
Other people's opinions, he can not pay attention. But the opinion of this Rand academician, no one present can not pay attention to it.
Because he is the world's top physicist, he is now a researcher at the National Bureau of Standards and Technology, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and has won many achievements, the most significant of which is that he once won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his experimental methods for studying individual quantum systems!
"I can't say right, but I do think it's a viable path. If only the Hongxin Group could turn their theories into reality. Academician Rand took a sip of coffee and said unhurriedly.
"But their actual products, and our cutting-edge technology, are still much worse!" said Tolan Bell, who disagreed with Academician Rand.
"IBM, INTEL, Yale, University of California, Santa Barbara, D-ve, France, UK, Sweden, ISA...... The research results on quantum computers in these places are currently much higher than the 20-qubit superconducting quantum computers described by Hongxin Group. ”
"So I think that although the Hongxin Quantum Computer Research Center has put forward another research direction, there is no need for reference. ”
"yes. Most of the others shared the same sentiment as Tolan Bell, saying: "Maybe in ten years, the Red Letter will come up with some achievements, but for now, they are still relatively backward." ”
Academician Rand shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then let time tell, I hope I can see that day." ”
He also did not have a precise grasp of which side was more advanced, this is a field that is still being explored, and the theory only provides the direction, and the results are the ironclad basis.
After a little more discussion, Tolan Bell said: "Before the official vote, we can have a rehearsal vote, and during the conference, we can focus on the results of the discussion." ”
He asked his assistant to take out a pen and paper and ask the members present to write down the results of their votes.
"Alright, everybody, bring up the voting results. To be clear in advance, this is just a small game and does not represent the opinions of our IEEE Association and the Association for Computing Machinery. Toran Bell said, counting the votes.
Although there were only about 20 people present, they were all from research institutions around the world, as well as important members of IEEE and the American Computer Society, and their opinions were enough to represent the majority.
"At the moment, the number one vote is IBM (International Business Machines Corporation), with nine friends endorsing their commercial quantum computer standard. ”
"The second place in the vote was INTEL (Intel Integrated Electronics), with seven friends endorsing their commercial quantum computer standard. ”
The third place in the vote was Microsoft, with three friends agreeing. ”
Both votes are for Canada's D-ave and the United States' AMD, and a friend endorses Huaxia Hongxin Group's quantum computer standard. ”
TOLAN BELL ANNOUNCED THE RESULTS OF THE MINI-GAME, WHICH WAS SIMILAR TO WHAT HE THOUGHT, MAINLY IBM AND INTEL HAD THE HIGHEST APPROVAL RATINGS, AND THE OTHERS WERE MUCH WORSE.
The official vote will be between the two companies – and that will not be known until the end of the Global Supercomputer Conference.
......
A few days later, in New Orleans, USA, in order to participate in the global supercomputer conference, Lu Zixin brought Su Zhirong, Dai Liangcai and others here.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Su, Professor Dai, I wish you all the best in your work. On the private jet, Fanny threatened to get them off the plane.
"Thank you for your hard work. The crowd smiled back.
"Mr. Lu, I just heard a piece of gossip from a friend in the United States. Dai Liangcai put away his phone and said.
"What's the news?"
"I heard that just the other night, some members of the IEEE and the Association for Computing Machinery held a small trial vote to choose the standards for quantum computers. Dai Liangcai said.
"What is the result?" Su Zhirong asked curiously, this standard was also one of the important purposes of their meeting.
"IMB AND INTEL VOTED IN A DIVIDED LINE, AND THE OTHERS WERE ABOUT THE SAME. However, it is interesting to note that Academician Rand, a former Nobel Prize physicist who has made great achievements in the field of quantum, actually supports the quantum computer standard proposed by our company. Dai Liangcai said with a smile, "Academician Rand is really worthy of his reputation, and he can actually see our technical potential." ”
"Haha, it seems that the international scientific community still doesn't know enough about us!" Lu Zixin said confidently, "This time they should be impressed!"
Su Zhirong nodded and said, "We have already brought the prototype, and we will wait for the conference to be exhibited." ”
"Are you ready for the media work?" Lu Zixin asked, "and when we exhibit, we need to let the media hype up and officially launch the concept of a commercial quantum computer product." ”
"Ready, this global supercomputing conference will be followed by mainstream media around the world. ”
Before the start of the conference, Lu Zixin still has a lot of work to do, and there are many enterprises and institutions participating in the conference this time, so negotiations are unavoidable.
A few days later, the global supercomputer conference officially began, lasting a week. Participating companies, universities, and institutions can showcase their scientific research results and communicate with peers at the New Orleans Convention Center.
In addition, several important academic conferences will be held to explore relevant issues in the field of supercomputers.
PS: I recommend a friend's new book "Helping others will become stronger", which is a story of becoming stronger by collecting positive energy, which is very interesting.
