Chapter 597: Director Philok's whereabouts
Chapter 597
Gu Lu can guarantee it.
When the quantum measurement and control all-in-one machine is successfully developed, the commercial quantum computer market is estimated to be occupied by their project team.
The reason is simple.
Compared with the current large and expensive quantum computers, the quantum measurement and control all-in-one machine has too many advantages.
One is in volume.
Integrating the entire control system of the quantum computer into the quantum measurement and control machine means that a lot of space for instruments and equipment can be saved.
According to estimates, after the quantum measurement and control all-in-one machine is thoroughly developed, its mention is probably less than one-tenth of that of the current quantum computer.
This not only represents a smaller footprint, but also a much less difficult operation.
Today's quantum computers of this size occupy a huge area, and if you want to run it, you have to have four or five people operating it at the same time.
But the quantum measurement and control all-in-one machine is different.
As soon as the quantum measurement and control machine comes out, it is estimated that one person can complete all the operations of the quantum computer.
This not only saves space, but also manpower.
After all......
It takes a lot of time for an employee of a company who has never been exposed to a quantum computer to learn how to operate a quantum computer.
The volume of the quantum measurement and control all-in-one machine is a part.
And the other part is the cost.
The emergence of the quantum measurement and control all-in-one machine can save a lot of expensive control system equipment of the quantum computer, which will reduce the cost of a quantum computer a lot.
At that time, Gu Lu estimated that the cost of a quantum computer could probably be reduced from one million to about 500,000.
Small size, low price.
Except for those die-hard IBM fans, it is estimated that no company is willing to buy IBM's big and expensive commercial quantum computers.
When the time comes, they will just wait to count the money.
Of course......
The premise of this matter is that the project team should seize the IBM side to complete the research and development of the quantum measurement and control all-in-one machine.
If IBM takes the lead in developing an instrument similar to their quantum measurement and control all-in-one machine, they will be the ones who are passive.
So Gu Lu's tone suddenly became solemn, and he looked directly at Ai Liang and spoke, "Ai Liang, you must not take the research and development of the quantum measurement and control all-in-one machine lightly, IBM is pressing step by step." ”
"We won once, but that doesn't mean we can keep winning!"
Ai Liang listened very carefully.
After Gu Lu finished speaking, Ai Liang's face turned straight and he said, "Gu Lu, you can rest assured, I will be watching day and night on the project team, and there will be no problems." ”
"We have the complete plan you proposed here, and it is estimated that it will not take half a year to make a quantum computer come out. ”
"And the IBM Quantum Computing Center is now facing a lot of troubles, and it is estimated that the personnel who have not yet found the time to start the follow-up research and development of quantum computer miniaturization!"
Ai Liang was right.
Now the IBM Quantum Computing Center is indeed a mess of porridge.
IBM's quantum computing center currently has both internal and external troubles.
The external threat is obvious.
Due to the defeat of IBM's quantum computing center in the quantum computer research and development competition, it has attracted the hatred of many domestic scientific research circles.
Although some of this has dissipated due to the resignation of Director Philock, there are still sneering posts about the employees of the IBM Quantum Computing Center from time to time on forums in the United States, which makes the reputation of the IBM Quantum Computing Center very bad in the United States.
This has made the employees inside IBM's quantum computing center very painful.
And the internal worries......
This is a little more complicated.
Originally, before Director Philock left, the position of director of the IBM Quantum Computing Center was handed over to Professor Kimi, a good friend.
It stands to reason that Professor Kimi should be the next director of IBM's Center for Quantum Computing, and the center is very convinced of Professor Kimi's strength and character, and everything seems to be logical.
However, IBM's top management did not admit it.
The right to appoint the director of the IBM Quantum Computing Center is in the hands of the company's directors, and it is worth pointing fingers at the abandoned son of Director Philok.
Again.
The relationship between Director Philoc and Professor Kimi is no secret within IBM's Center for Quantum Computing.
IBM is worried that Kimi will be dissatisfied with his friend Director Philock being taken out as a scapegoat by the company, so he will not be able to work after becoming the director of the research center, delaying the follow-up research and development of quantum computers.
And so.
IBM did not recognize Kimi's status as the director of the research center, and also parachuted a director directly.
Such......
The IBM Center for Quantum Computing was split into two factions in an instant.
One faction is centered on Professor Kimi, backed by veteran staff from many research centers.
The other faction is centered on the newly airborne director, and has attracted many key members of the institute who have been newly recruited in recent years.
And the director who parachuted in was arrogant and unwilling to shake hands with Kimi.
As a result, there is an atmosphere of solemnity and tension in today's IBM Quantum Computing Center.
It seems that all it takes is a fuse.
The two sides are going to fight, fighting to the death.
IBM's situation has long been exposed, so it is not a secret news, and it is not surprising that Ai Liang got it.
And the IBM Quantum Computing Center can hold its position firmly under the attack of such internal and external troubles.
As for further research on the miniaturization of quantum computers, it is necessary to completely settle the internal contradictions.
But it will take a lot of time to completely quell the anger of the two factions and make them shake hands and make peace.
It depends on the perseverance of IBM's top management.
In a word......
Their Huaguo side is now firmly seated in Diaoyutai.
As long as we don't make any fatal mistakes, we will step up research on the miniaturization of quantum computers during the period when the IBM Quantum Computing Center is mired in civil unrest.
Then, the leading edge of the project team will continue.
When the time comes, when the IBM Quantum Computing Center reacts and then catches up, it may not be able to catch up.
Hearing Ai Liang say this, Gu Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, speaking of Director Philock at the IBM Quantum Computing Center, Ai Liang, do you know where Director Philock has gone?" Gu Lu suddenly remembered this matter, so he asked curiously.
I don't know why, Ai Liang's news is always very well-informed.
After Gu Lu finished asking, Ai Liang recalled it in his mind, and replied with a smile, "If nothing else, the current Director Philoc should be on the plane to our Huaguo!"
What the?!
On the plane to China!
