Chapter 584

Studio, the scene of the quantum computer press conference.

Journalists from all over the world have long been seated.

The footage of countless cameras fell on Ai Liang and several people.

"Ahem. ”

Ai Liang coughed lightly and helped the microphone.

"It's almost time, let's get started. ”

Ai Liang grimaced and continued without smiling, "Quantum computers are an inevitable trend in the future development of computers. ”

"The original intention of the establishment of our semiconductor quantum chip is to carry out the research and development of quantum computers. ”

"With the concerted efforts of more than 100 members of our project team, it took nearly a year for the world's first real quantum computing to be born!"

Ai Liang turned on the projection screen behind him and projected a page of slides onto it.

Ai Liang smiled lightly and said, "Everyone, please see, this is all the data of our quantum computer. ”

"The number of qubits reaches thirty bits, the operation speed is 0.4 picoseconds, and the coherence time is 3.2 microseconds!"

"Problems that traditional computers need to run for hundreds of years to solve, can be completely solved in less than an hour with this quantum computer!"

"Of course, this quantum computer has many advantages over the traditional computers we use today, such as ......"

Ai Liang sat on the podium and talked endlessly.

The reporters in the audience raised their cameras and clicked to take pictures.

This is the performance data of the world's first quantum computer, and it certainly deserves to be recorded.

The excellence of quantum computers is undeniable.

Otherwise, the world's major scientific and technological powers will not have a scientific and technological race for quantum computers at all, competing for the first place.

On the podium, after Ai Liang introduced all the information about the quantum computer developed by the project team, he moved on to the question session.

The first person to ask a question was a reporter from a well-known domestic news outlet.

"Hello Mr. Ai, I would like to ask, since the quantum computer has been successfully developed, what is the next plan of the project team?"

It's a decent question.

After thinking for a few seconds, Ai Liang replied with the microphone.

"The next step, of course, is to try to commercialize quantum computers, which is not troublesome, and many banks and financial institutions at home and abroad are contacting us to prepare for this work. ”

"The key is to take the next step, after commercialization, of course, it is civilian. But as we all know, the size of the prototype of the quantum computer is huge, and it is basically impossible to use it for civilian use. ”

"Therefore, our next goal is to work towards the miniaturization of quantum computers!"

As Ai Liang said.

It is not difficult for a quantum computer to be commercialized, after all, the cost of a quantum computer is not too high, only a few million, and the average large enterprise can still easily afford this price.

But if quantum computers are to be used for civilian purposes, it will be difficult to describe as difficult.

Price is a factor.

However, the most important thing is volume.

Quantum computers are simply too large.

At present, the prototype of the quantum computer in the Quantum Information Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences occupies an area of forty or fifty square meters in a room.

Today, when housing prices are rising, it is estimated that no one will give a computer a room of several tens of square meters to live in.

The miniaturization of quantum computers is imperative.

That's why Ai Liang said that the next step in quantum computers lies in the miniaturization of quantum computers.

It's not just Ai Liang, but many peers in the field of quantum computers think so.

…………

"Next question. ”

A blonde, blue-eyed foreign journalist who stood up this time.

"Hello Mr. Ai, I'm Catherine, a reporter from the Times in Yingguo. "This beautiful blonde reporter speaks fluent Mandarin.

"Hello. Ai nodded brightly.

Catherine, a reporter from The Times, held the microphone and asked, "Mr. Ai, I saw in the list of the project team that the chief engineer of the project team is your teacher, Academician Guo, and I would like to ask where Guo Lao is now and why he did not attend this press conference." ”

"Also, I learned that Mr. Ai's semiconductor quantum chip project team was established in April last year, when Huaguo had just developed a two-qubit semiconductor chip. Perhaps I'm not the only one wondering how your team's team managed to create this miracle that seems completely incredible to us in less than a year!"

The reporter asked two questions in quick succession.

However, both of these issues were of concern to all of those present.

Academician Guo is the actual leader of this project team, and as the chief engineer, Academician Guo did not attend this press conference, which has attracted everyone's attention.

Of course, the second question of the journalist named Catherine is the key to everyone's attention.

Everyone was as curious as her, curious to know how Ai Liang and the others created this impossible miracle.

"Mr. Ai, this is my problem. Catherine smiled lightly and looked at Ai Liang, who was sitting in front of the podium.

Ai Liang was silent for a few seconds, as if he recalled something sad, and his tone became low, "I can answer these two questions of yours in a unified manner." ”

Ai Liang pulled a smile on his face and said with a little self-deprecation, "I know that a year ago, no one would have thought that the birthplace of the world's first quantum computer would be in China. ”

"Even now, with the ironclad facts in front of us, there are still people who do not believe that our country in China is the first country in the world to develop a quantum computer. ”

"Now, I would like to make a unified response to these doubts from the outside world. ”

"First of all, the reason why we succeeded was not due to luck, but the result of the concerted efforts of more than 100 people in our project team to overcome difficulties. ”

"I have two pieces of data here that I can share with you. ”

"First, in the research cycle of the project team totaling three hundred and one days, the project team has a total of 124 people, and the average working time per day is 16 hours and 11 minutes!"

Wow~!

As soon as this data came out, everyone was in an uproar.

In the past year, the average working hours of each project team were more than 16 hours.

What a concept of this.

It's twenty-four hours a day.

The average working hours of 16 hours a day mean that there is basically no leisure time except for eating and sleeping, and the rest of the time is devoted to work.

This is no longer 996, it is more appropriate to say 6107.

This work intensity is simply perverted.

Many reporters in the audience had chills down their spines.
