Chapter 518: The Second Problem
Chapter 518
Next.
In a conference room of the Solid State Physics Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the third plenary session of the third task force is underway.
In the previous two meetings, the first was when they met for the first time after the mobilization meeting, and the second was when Gu Lu announced the replacement of the new experimental plan.
Now in the third plenary meeting, the main content of the meeting is to discuss the next step of the research group.
Now, the problem of limiting the number of qubits that graphene materials can hold has been solved.
I've said it before.
At present, there are two difficulties in the field of graphene semiconductor quantum chip materials.
The first task of the third task group is to devote itself to overcoming the second problem of graphene materials.
The first problem of graphene materials is that the number of qubits will be limited, and the second problem is that as the number of qubits on graphene chips increases, the structure of qubits will become more complex.
This is quite a lot of work for the designer of the qubit structure.
The second problem is not so high priority in terms of urgency compared to the first problem.
It belongs to the kind that can solve the highest, and if it can't be solved, it won't have too serious consequences.
It's not like the first problem that Gu Lu and the others just solved, it is difficult to continue the research work of the entire project team if they can't solve it.
But......
Then again.
Although the second problem is slightly inferior in terms of urgency, the overall difficulty level of this problem is much higher than that of the first difficulty.
The reason is simple.
In the first problem, the number of qubits that can be accommodated on graphene materials is limited, and this is largely due to the electromagnetic waves generated by the net nuclear spin phenomenon of graphene nuclei.
But the second conundrum is different.
As the number of qubits increases, the structural requirements for qubits become more complex, and the reason for this is not just one 'net nuclear spin', as in the first problem, but two.
The first reason is the relativistic properties of carbon atomic carriers in the graphene monolayer.
The other, the zero-gap band structure of a monolayer of carbon atoms, is also one of the reasons for this situation.
With the blessing of these two factors, the second problem faced by Gu Lu and others has been formed.
If you want to solve this second problem completely, it is completely impossible to simply solve one of these two reasons.
It is necessary to eliminate the influence of these two factors on the structure of the qubit at the same time, so that the structure design of the qubit is not so complicated.
This is obviously much more difficult and complex than the first one.
…………
Inside the conference room.
Everyone was gathering together, with serious faces discussing some feasible experimental plans.
As the night passed, everyone had come out of the joy of yesterday's successful experiment and returned to the feeling of urgency and busyness.
If it is placed in an ordinary project team and has just made a new result, it stands to reason that the researchers should at least rest for a day or two!
However, the project team of semiconductor quantum chips does not have this benefit.
After a short dinner last night, and just a night's rest, everyone in the research group returned to the office to enter the next stage of research work.
This is the atmosphere up and down the current semiconductor quantum chip project team.
Time is tight and the task is heavy!
The R&D progress of quantum computers on the United States side is obviously faster than theirs.
In this R&D competition with the United States about quantum computers, if Huaguo wants to achieve a corner, it is better to seize every minute and every second than to rely on that illusory luck.
If you work half the time more than the researchers in the United States every day, it is not equivalent to two years here and three years for others.
Therefore, in this environment, not working overtime is already quite a good treatment, and as for vacation, it is completely a luxury!
Maybe you will have a few days off during the Chinese New Year, and the rest of the time, you don't have to think about it.
In the conference room, everyone was discussing the next stage of the experimental plan.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.
Ai Liang, who looked withered, stared at a pair of dark circles under his eyes and was obviously a little thinner, pushed the door in, "I'm sorry, I didn't bother you!"
"No, no. Gu Lu was sitting near the door, and as he got up and spoke, he glanced up and down Ai Liang's body, and said suspiciously, "Researcher Ai, haven't you had a good rest recently? I think your state is a little poor!"
Not really!
Gu Lu remembered that when he met Ai Liang more than half a month ago, Ai Liang still had a ruddy and healthy complexion, but this time, Ai Liang not only lost a lot of weight, but even his hairline receded a lot.
How liver is this!
Ai Liang pulled a smile on his face, and said in an indifferent tone, "It's okay, it's just a lack of sleep, I've long been used to it." ”
During this time, Ai Liang has actually been very liver, especially last night, Ai Liang was completely stimulated by the news that Gu Lu's side had already produced results.
So a person spent the whole night in the laboratory.
Now Ai Liang has not closed his eyes for more than 20 hours.
"As a core member of the project team, researcher Ai should pay more attention to his body. Gu Lu sighed and said this.
Gu Lu knew that even if this sentence was said, Ai Liang would probably not stop.
When a scientific research madman starts to liver up, it is not comparable to the liver emperor in many Internet cafes.
Sure enough, Ai Liang didn't take Gu Lu's words to heart.
"Professor Gu, congratulations, your research group is the first group to produce results among our six research groups!" Ai Liang said in a complex tone.
Gu Lu waved his hand with a smile and said modestly, "It's a fluke, it's just a fluke." ”
And An Yu, who was standing next to Gu Lu, was full of brilliance in her beautiful eyes.
Their research group is the first group to produce results among all research groups, and An Yu has thought of this a long time ago.
The rest of the research groups are responsible for their own work, and An Yu knows it.
Gu Lu knew very well that the remaining five teams were responsible for that part of the work, and it was unlikely that they would produce results in just one month.
Having said that, if their research group didn't have Gu Lu, it would be impossible to make results before the project team started!
"Are you in a meeting to discuss the next stage of work?" Ai Liang asked after scanning the people in the conference room and seeing that there were all of them.
"Yes, we are discussing a solution to the second problem of graphene semiconductor chips. Gu Lu nodded and replied.
"That's just right. Ai Liang smiled slightly, and handed a stack of documents to Gu Lu, "This is some information and data that the teacher asked me to send, which can be used for Professor Gu's reference." ”
