Chapter 560

"Teacher, big ...... Big things are wrong!"

The person who came in was none other than another student surnamed Chen under Academician Guo.

Researcher Chen put his hands on his knees, gasping for air, his face full of panic.

In the office, Academician Guo's brows furrowed tightly, and he looked down at Researcher Chen in front of him.

"What happened?" Academician Guo asked in a deep voice.

Academician Guo still knows his student's character very well.

According to Researcher Chen's calm personality, if it hadn't been for a major accident, it would have been impossible to rush in without even knocking on the door.

Researcher Chen replied breathlessly, "Mi country, it's the ...... over there."

At the mention of Mi Guo, Academician Guo suddenly stood up from the chair, and the muscles on his face trembled slightly.

"Yes, is it that the United States has successfully developed a quantum computer?"

Even Academician Guo didn't notice.

When he said this, there was a hint of trilling in his tone.

Academician Guo closed his eyes in despair, and his heart was gloomy.

Thousands of chases, sure enough, still can't catch up?

And Gu Lu and Ai Liang, who were standing on the side of the office, changed their faces after hearing Academician Guo's words.

The two of them knew very well what Academician Guo's words would mean once they came true.

The purpose of the establishment of their semiconductor quantum chip project team is to complete the research and development of quantum computers before the United States.

Once the United States takes the lead in completing the research and development of quantum computers, it means that the purpose of the establishment of the project team will not be achieved.

Although this does not make the current research results of the project team instantly worthless, it is undoubtedly devastating for the entire semiconductor quantum chip project team.

Even...... It may lead to the direct dissolution of the entire project team.

After all, the state has invested so much money and manpower in order to become the first country in the world to successfully develop a quantum computer.

And once it fails, in order to stop the loss, it may be a rational choice to disband the project team.

Almost in just a dozen seconds, the joyful atmosphere brought by the success of the research project was dissipated by the impact of this bad news.

The current Gu Lu and Ai Liang, and even Academician Guo, are not happy at all.

Gu Lu and Ai Liang's eyes fell on Researcher Chen in the center of the office.

Academician Guo had already closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to hear such a cruel answer.

However, Researcher Chen's next sentence brought a ray of light to the three of them.

"Not yet, it's not that serious, but it's not optimistic at all. Researcher Chen replied.

It's not that serious......

That is to say, the United States has not yet successfully developed the world's first quantum computer.

Academician Guo, Gu Lu and Ai Liang all breathed a sigh of relief.

Academician Guo sat on the chair, and then pointed to the sofa on the side, "Sit down first, and then carefully talk about what the situation is over there." ”

Researcher Chen nodded, "Yes." ”

............

It's simple.

This researcher Chen has the habit of watching the news every morning.

But on his way to work this morning, Researcher Chen swiped a news report about a quantum computer.

However, the content in the report is not the news from China, but related to the quantum computer on the United States side.

In that report, it was said that IBM in the United States had launched a golden commercial quantum computer for use by Mitsubishi Consortium, Morgan Bank and other companies. ”

Quantum computers for business!

Hearing these words, Gu Lu's pupils shrank suddenly.

But a few people know what the simple words 'commercial quantum computer' mean.

If there are no accidents, it will take at least four or five years for their quantum computer industry in China to get to this point.

Gap...... Is it really that big?

When a few people almost doubted themselves, Researcher Chen smiled and waved his hand, "Teacher, don't think too much of this commercial quantum computer!"

In fact, the commercial computers provided by IBM to Morgan Bank are not quantum computers in the real sense, but can only be said to be semi-finished quantum computers. ”

The semi-finished product of a quantum computer, which is a completely different concept from a quantum computer in the true sense, are completely different concepts.

"The number of qubits in their commercial quantum computer is not up to the requirements?" Gu Lu thought of a possibility and asked.

Researcher Chen nodded approvingly, "Professor Gu is right, although the indicators of the commercial quantum computer were not mentioned in that news report, I still searched for some information from abroad. ”

"In terms of fidelity, operation speed and coherence time, the commercial quantum computer barely meets the requirements, but in terms of the number of qubits it carried, the commercial quantum computer only has twenty-five!"

The metrics of quantum computers are quite strict.

According to the regulations, only when the number of qubits reaches more than 30 can it be called a quantum computer in the true sense.

The number of qubits in the commercially available quantum computer in the United States has only reached 25, which obviously does not meet the requirements of quantum computers.

In simple terms.

Mi Guo did not take the lead in completing the research and development of quantum computers as Gu Lu and the others just thought.

This is a blessing in disguise.

Because this shows that they still have a chance on their side of Huaguo, and they have not been hammered to death with a punch.

But then again.

The chance, of course, is there, but it is obviously not big.

The reason is simple.

Now the United States has completed the research and development of a 25-qubit quantum computer.

Just five bits away from the last five bits could announce the world's first quantum computer.

According to the research speed of the group of people in the United States, it is estimated that this time will be about half a year at most.

On the other hand, what about their Huaguo.

A few months ago, the research and development of three-qubit chips had just been completed, and Academician Guo is currently leading people to explore ten-qubit semiconductor quantum chips.

Although the progress has been much faster than expected.

But when you compare it with the United States, you will find that this is completely insufficient.

Because according to the current research progress, it will take at least half a year for them to achieve the 25-qubit achievement that the United States has achieved.

And to catch up with the progress of the United States, before the United States, the successful development of the world's first quantum computer, the opportunity is even more illusory.

Per cent!

No!

Not even a 1 percent chance!

The group of researchers in the United States is not an easy person, and they will not obediently wait for you to surpass it.

It can be said that the current semiconductor quantum chip project team has reached the moment when its fate hangs by a thread.
