Chapter 377: What Should It Look Like?

"Contact this research center now!" George hurriedly called his assistant, "see if we can come over and visit!"

……

Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, island nations and other countries that are at the forefront of the quantum field have seen this report in their scientific communities.

For a while, the Hongxin Quantum Computer Research Center received an application letter like snowflakes, and they all wanted to know if there was the world's most advanced quantum computer hidden here!

When it comes to quantum computers, the United States is undoubtedly the top country in the world. Yale University, the University of Michigan and several other top universities have quantum computer research teams, and they have also successfully manufactured quantum chips.

The NSA's own scientific research unit is also working on quantum computers based on quantum communications.

Among the giant companies that have been monopolized in the computer field for a long time, such research has been carried out more than ten years ago, and now they have the strength to launch commercial quantum computers, but in terms of performance and cost, they are not suitable for the general public.

IBM (International Business Machines Corporation) is the world's largest information technology and business solutions company, with more than 300,000 employees worldwide and operations in more than 160 countries and territories.

And their achievements in quantum computing of superconducting integrated circuits are undoubtedly the top in the world.

In other labs or companies, superconducting quantum computers can only be operated at ultra-low temperatures or harsh conditions, but they can already make superconducting quantum computers run at room temperature.

The popularization of superconducting quantum computers into commercial operation is also an important project of IBM.

IBM, Quantum Computer Project at its headquarters in Amonk, New York, is discussing coverage in this issue of the journal Science.

According to them, they will soon be able to make quantum computers as ubiquitous as traditional computers. A senior executive frowned, "This will be a subversion of the computer industry, and it will also be a serious blow to us traditional computer machine manufacturers and information technology vendors, we must take precautions!"

"I don't think it's that serious!" said a quantum computer expert, confidently, "It's just a 20-qubit superconducting quantum computer, we made it ten years ago!

"No, Lester, we can't underestimate them! This research institute belongs to Hongxin Group!" a vice president and member of the board of directors said solemnly, "Apple and Qualcomm have already told us with tragic facts that they will underestimate the fate of this Huaxia company!"

"We can't follow in their footsteps and see them grow in our field and encroach on our market!"

"Dr. Becky, you're an expert in the field of quantum computers, what do you think?" someone asked.

The gray-haired Dr. Becky pushed his glasses and analyzed, "I have read the contents of Science five times, and I can be sure that they have indeed mastered the technology to build a commercial superconducting quantum computer. ”

"Such a superconducting quantum computer, as long as it reaches 50 qubits, can be called the world's largest computer in terms of computing power! In my estimation, it will not be long before they reach 50. ”

When everyone heard him say this, they all showed surprised expressions, didn't this mean that in a few years, the world's best computer machine would appear in Huaxia?

"You don't have to worry too much. Dr. Becky continued, "It's very difficult to get to that point. ”

"As for the commercialization of superconducting quantum computers, I don't think the situation is as optimistic as they imagined. The cost of building a superconducting quantum computer is absolutely unaffordable for ordinary users. ”

"So I think they should first of all work with the Chinese military to build some quantum computers for military production purposes. On the civilian side, it cannot be completed in five years. ”

"If that's the case, we still have time to deal with it!" the vice president's brow always stretched a little, and what he feared most was that the changes in the industry would hit like a storm and not give them enough time to react.

"Now, we need to know more. Maybe we should reach out to some Hongxin Group and their quantum computer research center. Dr. Becky said.

……

Intel and AMD, the two giants that have monopolized computer chips for decades, are also nervous because of a report in the journal Science.

They have spent decades building high barriers on core technologies such as computer chips, keeping out all other countries and companies.

Now the Chinese people are unconvinced, and want to overtake in another field, how can they allow it? If Hongxin is really allowed to do it, how will they make money in the future, and how can they maintain their position as the industry boss on the top?

Therefore, Intel and AMD have revealed in public or private that their companies have higher-level superconducting quantum computer chips. Some authorities also said that the report on the Huaxia Hongxin Quantum Computer Research Center in the journal "Science" is somewhat untrue. At the same time, their achievements are not unique, but the path that companies such as the United States have already taken, and there is a suspicion of exaggeration.

The implications are confined to the scientific community. For the masses, they don't care about what is published in the journal Science.

The news they can see is that Hongxin Group announced that Hongxin Electronics Co., Ltd. will carry out Hongxin computer business, and it is expected to launch the first computer of Hongxin brand within one or two years!

"What will Hongxin's computer look like?" This is a sentence written by Lu Zixin in the main conference room of Hongxin Group Building.

He asked everyone to discuss what kind of products Hongxin should make, what kind of functions and designs should it have.

"Of course, it is the Hongxin computer with Hongxin's independent operating system!" Tang Gang was the first to say, "Since it is our independent computer, it must have its own system like Hongxin's smart phone." DON'T USE MICROSOFT'S INDOS COMPUTER OPERATING SYSTEM, NOR LIKE APPLE'S IOS OPERATING SYSTEM, DESIGN YOUR OWN REDLETTER COMPUTER OPERATING SYSTEM!"

"Ours is a quantum computer, with more computing power!" Liang Song said, "It stands to reason that our computer should be better at AI intelligence." Therefore, we should not only design more intelligent operating systems, but also design intelligent computer applications!"

"Add virtual projection!" said Juan, "Let the quantum computer adopt a virtual screen, so that it can be lighter in size and weight!"
