Chapter 375: The First Step of a Quantum Computer
Bruce Wayne: "If you need help, you can come to me." ”
Tony Stark: "Hopefully not then." ”
Lu Zixin took advantage of their chat to check the information in the group. Activity is more difficult to level up than before, random red envelopes are estimated to take some time, and group member invitations are also on cooldown.
......
A month later, Hongxin Group officially announced that it would merge Hongxin Game Co., Ltd. and Hongxin Virtual Interactive Entertainment Co., Ltd. So far, Hongxin Group is mainly divided into two parts, one is Hongxin Virtual Interactive Entertainment, and the other is Hongxin Electronics.
As for some other businesses, such as Hongxin Capital, Kunpeng Battery, Thunderstorm Appliances, etc., they are all relatively independent small business companies.
Hongxin Quantum Computer Research Center, this period of investment and research and development, finally saw some results.
In the lab, it was the first superconducting quantum computer they made, which was not large, only the size of a small box. Compared with the optical quantum computer that Lu Zixin visited before, the size has been reduced several times!
Even if you take it out and use it as a working computer, there is no problem at all.
The most important thing is that the superconducting quantum computer made by Hongxin has reached the level of controlling 20 qubits, reaching the international level.
"Half a year! I can't imagine that it's only half a year! You have done it!" Pan Qiwen, who came to visit, was very excited, according to his original expectation, Hongxin could do it within three years, which was already very remarkable.
But the truth surprised him even more than he expected, and in just half a year, this quantum computer research institute has achieved what other research centers can accomplish in several years.
"That's not all, Old Pan, look at what this is?" Lu Zixin handed him a delicate little box.
"What?" Pan Qiwen took the small box suspiciously, opened it and looked at it. Inside the box, is a chip the size of a third of a palm.
In the box, there is also the instruction manual of this chip, Pan Qiwen picked it up and read it.
"Superconducting quantum computer chips!" he couldn't help but exclaim at the first glance.
Whether it's an optical quantum computer or a superconducting quantum computer, there is no shortage of people in the world who can make it. But just like the Institute of Quantum Technology in the Magic City, many quantum computers are still very large.
And this kind of small superconducting quantum computer chip is even more rare. So far, only Intel and other companies have the strength to develop it.
"This chip can also achieve the operation of twenty qubits?" Pan Qiwen was really shocked this time, which is equivalent to saying that this small chip is comparable to the cabinet-sized equipment in other research institutes!
"I remember that the quantum chip announced by Intel last time only had sixteen qubits!" Pan Qiwen asked.
"Yes, sixteen. But now they should have made more advanced chips, and we haven't taken the lead yet. Dai Liangcai responded.
Pan Qiwen took a deep breath, suppressed his surprise, and said, "I dare to guarantee that this is definitely a world-class level!"
"The last time I held a quantum technology seminar in Canada, there was no one in the international public information who could make such a high-tech product!"
"Hahaha!" Pan Qiwen laughed, "There were a few old guys in the Academy of Sciences who said that you couldn't do it, and now they should be scared!"
He is glad that he pushed for the establishment of this project. Many of the students in this institute are reserve talents from the National Academy of Sciences and several scientific and technological universities.
"Old Pan, do you want to see the actual effect?" Lu Zixin asked.
"Look, of course you have to see! Seeing is believing!" Pan Qiwen said seriously.
Next, they demonstrated to Pan Qiwen the computing power of superconducting quantum computers. At present, its performance is about the same as that of ordinary computers on the market.
Pan Qi Wenle's wrinkles melted, but Lu Zixin was only slightly happy, and all he thought about was happiness.
The superconducting quantum computer made this time still cannot be commercialized. The reason is very simple, it is a superconducting quantum computer, the cost is not known to be many times higher than that of ordinary computers, but the performance is not yet significantly ahead, then it is not suitable for commercialization.
If you want to commercialize superconducting quantum chips and be able to manipulate more qubits, the minimum goal in Lu's confidence is to achieve the computing power of ordinary supercomputers.
At that time, the quantum computer lived up to its name and truly achieved supercomputing!
This time is estimated to take more than half a year. Lu Zixin also noticed a more serious problem, that is, there is a serious shortage of relevant talents.
If it weren't for the help of the National Academy of Sciences, their research team would not have been able to be formed. There are too few domestic researchers on these high-end technologies, and many talents stay abroad. This greatly restricts the development of science and technology, and if it weren't for Lu Zixin's intelligent robots and technical data, it would be difficult to make these things in another five or ten years.
"Talent training is also very important. Lu Zi secretly thought that almost all large enterprises have cooperated with some universities to carry out talent training programs or something.
Hongxin also cooperates with universities such as Jiang University, but this is not enough. He wants talents who can lead the world's top talents, and explorers who can develop more than the current level of science and technology, and he must find another way.
"Your results are very good!" Pan Qiwen gave a thumbs up and said, "This matter is also very important, I want to stay here for two more days and write a report to the National Academy of Sciences." ”
"No problem, you can stay as long as you want!" Lu Zixin agreed.
"In addition, I recommend that you release this result as soon as possible. "We need this kind of technology to awaken the confidence of the Chinese technology community." Let everyone see that we can also do better in the classified technology of the developed international blockade, and even in the technology of a completely new field!"
"This, the message of the chip can be put. Quantum computers, we intend to wait for the development of commercial superconducting quantum computers before making announcements. Lu Zixin said.
"Hmm. Pan Qiwen didn't ask much about this, and said: "I remember that we made a bet before, right?
"You can rest assured, when I return to the Academy of Sciences for a meeting, I will definitely strongly support the development and promotion of commercial quantum computers. ”
"Then thank you Elder Pan!" Lu Zixin hurriedly thanked.
In addition to the National Academy of Sciences, Hongxin Institute of Quantum Computer has also written scientific papers and submitted them to international academic journals, so that international peers can see the achievements made by Hongxin.
