"Yes, that's what we think too. Yu Liming said solemnly, "At present, there are commercial quantum computers in the strict sense of the word, and there are no relevant industry standards. ”

"The standards of traditional computers have been set by established companies such as Intel. If they were allowed to continue to develop standards for quantum computers, it would make us very passive. There is a risk that you will once again be caught up in intellectual property disputes. ”

"Then, we must participate in formulating standards!" Meng Xiaobai said, "Arrange for people to participate and see what tricks they play!"

"Well, our quantum computing research team is going to Washington, D.C., to participate in this World Supercomputing Congress. ”

The date of the World Supercomputing Conference is getting closer and closer, and this year's World Supercomputing Congress has attracted several times more attention than in previous years, because this year, experts, scholars and companies in the field of computer science in the world will set industry standards for quantum computers.

This will be an important criterion for the computer and Internet industry in the future, which will cause countless changes in industries and changes in people's lives, and people have to pay attention.

……

At the Institute of Quantum Computers of Deep Space Science and Technology, the delegates that Deep Space is preparing to send to participate in the World Supercomputing Conference are waiting anxiously in the conference room.

"Is it done?" asked Shawber.

"Nope. Huo Qixiang shook his head, "I asked the visa office, and they said that they needed to conduct a detailed review of the reasons for our entry." ”

"Do you want to audit?" Xiao Bai frowned, "We are just going to attend the World Supercomputing Conference, didn't we make it clear to them?"

"Yes, but that's why they're here. Huo Qixiang said helplessly, "Originally, according to the plan, we are now in the United States, but the visa has not been given, and we can't go." ”

"I think the plan can be canceled. Wang Yuanhang said.

"This World Supercomputing Conference is too important, especially the formulation of commercial standards for quantum computers, we can't participate in it!" Xiao Bo emphasized.

"It's going to start on the 25th, and we haven't passed our entry application yet. They didn't welcome us at all. Other options could be discussed. Wang Yuanhang said.

"How can this work?" everyone was embarrassed and anxious, if they couldn't go to this world supercomputing conference, they would definitely lose a lot!

This is also what Mr. Meng meant. Wang Yuanhang added.

"This ......" Xiao Bai pondered for a moment and sighed, "Okay, that's the only way!

……

"I originally thought that their plan was to dig a hole for us at the World Supercomputer Congress. Meng Xiaobai said with emotion, "I didn't expect their methods to be so rude, and they didn't let us participate directly!"

"IEEE also claims to be an academic organization without borders!" Yu Liming said angrily, "This method is really disgusting!"

"That's fine. Meng Xiaobai smiled, "Lest we quarrel with them at the supercomputing conference." ”

"It's going to be a hassle. Yu Liming worried, "If we don't participate in this supercomputing conference, doesn't it mean that the commercial standards for quantum computers will be formulated by those foreign companies?

Once a standard for commercial quantum computers is developed, all enterprises and academic institutions around the world will conduct research, commercial product development and related standard development based on this standard. This affects an entire industry!

As the saying goes, third-rate enterprises rely on products, second-rate enterprises rely on services, and first-class enterprises set standards!

Only by formulating industry standards can we become the real boss in the industry!

These foreign companies think very well that in the battle for quantum supremacy, it is best not to let deep space science and technology participate, so as not to cause extraneous complications.

"So we'll have to figure it out ourselves. Meng Xiaobai said, "Be prepared, there will definitely be unfavorable news for us at this supercomputing conference." Will we be able to catch up with the R&D schedule?"

"Presumably, our plan is to demonstrate our superconducting quantum chips at the World Supercomputing Congress, so now we have chips ready and are debugging quantum computers. ”

"That's enough. Self-righteous standards and real quantum computers, the world will tell them, who carries more weight!"

……

May 25, Washington, D.C., International Convention Center.

The World Supercomputing Conference, hosted by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, was held as scheduled, bringing together top scholars, enterprises, and research institutions from all over the world to start this grand event.

Without waiting for the representatives of Deep Space Science and Technology to arrive, they have already started the conference.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this worldwide supercomputing conference, the most important thing for us is also the first thing we want to discuss. Leslie, a representative of the organizers and a member of the IEEE Association's core management committee, said, "It's about commercial standards for quantum computers. ”

"With the development of science and technology today, quantum computers are no longer the imagination of science fiction works, and many institutions and enterprises have developed quantum chips. It is foreseeable that soon, quantum computers will appear in our lives. It has trillions of times faster computing power than the world's most powerful supercomputer, and it will change the way all of humanity lives!"

"Today, the world's most important institutions, academics, and companies in the field of quantum computing have arrived, and we will develop a standard for the commercialization of quantum computers. It will become a quantitative standard for scientific research institutions, industry supervision, and enterprise production around the world. ”

"Below is a list of the main representatives, ...... Google representatives"

Until the list was read, there was no representative of deep space technology. The scholars and experts present here have all read the front page of that issue of the journal "Science" and know that deep space technology has made great discoveries in superconducting materials for superconducting quantum chips.

This World Supercomputing Conference is still the formulation of commercial standards for quantum computers, and it is really strange that they did not participate!

"SORRY, SIR. "A well-known scholar stood up, it was a quantum physicist from Germany, Reed. He was an important figure in the international physics community, and everyone was quiet and listened to him.

"Professor Reed, what do you have in mind?" asked Leslie.

Reed wondered: "All of you present are elites in the field of supercomputing, and I believe everyone has read Professor Hua Xia's paper on superconducting materials. It turns out that his research institution, the Institute of Quantum Computers of Deep Space Technology, has made a big discovery of superconducting quantum chips. ”

"I want to ask, why didn't they participate in this standard setting?"

Everyone looked at Leslie, and that's what they wanted to ask. It stands to reason that it is not the purpose of this conference and this academic organization to show the most cutting-edge science and technology to the world and promote scientific and technological exchanges?
