Chapter 571: Running Normally!
Chapter 571
"The temperature of the main unit is normal!"
"It's running at normal speed!"
"Coherence time is normal!"
"The calibration is working!"
Gu Lu reported one by one.
In the end, Gu Lu's voice suddenly raised a few points, and he said in an excited tone, "All the quantum computers are running normally!"
"Guo Lao, we succeeded!"
"Yes, it worked!" Academician Guo muttered softly with a smile on his wrinkled face.
The success of research and development was expected by Academician Guo for a long time.
But when the results were really presented in front of Academician Guo, even Academician Guo, an old academician who was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
Because at this moment, Academician Guo really saw the hope of Huaguo to complete the research and development of quantum computers ahead of the United States.
Before this result came out, Academician Guo didn't have much expectation for overtaking in corners.
But now......
It took him and Gu Lu just over two months to complete the research and development of a 25-qubit semiconductor chip.
This really gave Academician Guo a glimpse of the light.
If the chances of their project team turning the tables against the wind were so slim that they could call it almost none, then now, they at least have a 10% chance that they can achieve a turnaround against the wind!
This made Academician Guo's heart tremble fiercely.
At the same time, his originally extinguished ambition was like a resurrection, growing wantonly in Academician Guo's heart.
Academician Guo has great ambitions.
He wants Huaguo to be a leader, not a subordinate, in the next era of quantum computing.
He wants China's quantum computer technology to no longer be restricted by foreign technology blockades, and he can't move.
He wants Huaguo to take advantage of the boom in the era of quantum computers and have the strength to wrestle with major scientific and technological powers such as the United States in terms of cutting-edge scientific and technological strength.
And now, Academician Guo's ambition finally has an opportunity to be realized.
That's the quantum computer battle.
In this long arms race over quantum computers, whoever wins will become the leader of the next computer age.
Now, it is the United States that is leading.
But they have already shown a hint of transcendence.
Although it is now very close to the finish line.
But until the final result is out, nothing will be known!
Huaguo may not have the opportunity to be a leader!
…………
The news that Gu Lu and Academician Guo cooperated to successfully develop a 25-qubit semiconductor chip spread rapidly within the project team.
Originally, the members of the project team who had become a little depressed due to staying up late and working overtime for a long time during this period of time were like a shot in the arm after hearing the news, and immediately came out of the sluggish state and became full of energy again.
Before, like Academician Guo, although everyone was busy with work every day, they always felt that the future was bleak.
After all, it is not unclear how difficult it is to seize the 1 in 10,000 chance that it is so slim that it is only 1 in 10,000.
But now......
The news came out again.
The successful development of the 25-qubit semiconductor chip has suddenly increased the opportunity to one in ten.
1 in 10 chances!
Many employees of the project team were completely excited.
It may be difficult for them to grasp the 1 in 10,000 chance, but 1 in 10,000 chance, they have the confidence to grasp it firmly.
As a result, the previous phenomenon of sluggish project work due to the decline in the work status of the project team employees disappeared instantly after this news came out.
Anyway, more than two months have been persevered, and as long as you hold on for the same amount of time, you can be liberated, and you can sleep as long as you want every day.
It is with such a mentality that the huge machine of the semiconductor quantum chip project team is once again told to operate.
…………
A few days later.
Inside the director's office on the top floor of Quantum Confidence.
Gu Lu handed a sorted document to Academician Guo, "Old Guo, this is the experimental plan I sorted out, you can review it and see if there are any problems." ”
After finishing the research and development of the 25-qubit semiconductor chip, Gu Lu and Academician Guo did not have any rest, and immediately devoted themselves to the next stage of research work.
According to the plan, the next stage of research is to prepare for the research and development of 30-qubit semiconductor chips directly in one step.
You know, as the number of qubits on a chip increases, each increase in the number of qubits increases by a small order of magnitude.
Skipping the middle part and directly entering the research and development of a 30-qubit chip after 25 qubits, the jump in the difficulty level is higher than the previous jump from 10 qubits to 25 qubits!
But it can't be ......
The reality of the situation does not allow Gu Lu and Academician Guo to come step by step, one qubit at a time.
Therefore, it can only be risky like this.
High risk, high return.
Gu Lu and Academician Guo can only gamble like this.
…………
In the past few days, after many discussions that lasted for dozens of hours, Gu Lu and Academician Guo finally determined the research and development plan of 30 qubits.
The basic theory of the solution is the same as that used in the development of the 25-qubit chip.
All of them are by using multi-particle multi-degrees of freedom to increase the number of qubits.
But it's different from the former.
Previously, an 8-photon quantum entanglement system was used.
This time, the number was increased to 10, and it became a 10-photon quantum entanglement system.
Each photon has three degrees of freedom: path, polarization, and orbital angular momentum!
10*3!
This brings the number of qubits to thirty.
Although, at first glance, it may seem that 30 qubits are more than 25 qubits, but only two photons are added to the entangled system.
But the same has been said before.
This is not a simple matter of addition, but a question of exponentials.
There was a big difference in difficulty between the two.
This requires a lot of new computational experiments from beginning to end by Gu Lu and Academician Guo.
The schematic diagram used in the previous phase is no longer applicable when the number of qubits is increased to 30.
In addition to the basic theoretical framework, everything has to start anew.
Now, there are only two and a half months left before the original estimate of half a year.
Academician Guo flipped through the document and handed it back to Gu Lu, "I've read it, no problem, let's start the research work according to this." ”
"But there's not a lot of time left, and we're going to have to work more overtime later. ”
Gu Lu nodded and smiled slightly, "Old Guo, I know." ”
Gu Lu has long had this kind of ideological awareness.
So when he came to work early this morning, Gu Lu brought a quilt in the bedroom by the way.
Next, I guess I'm going to sleep in the lab for a while.
