Chapter 537

Academician Guo praised Gu Lu a few words.

Now, the research work of Gu Lu and Ai Liang has been completed.

The remaining three research groups will also complete their respective tasks over time.

The semiconductor quantum chip project team, which originally had a gloomy future, seems to be gradually revealing light ahead.

Academician Guo looked at Gu Lu and the other three standing in the conference room, and laughed with satisfaction.

"Old Guo, the task you gave to our research group has been completed, so what are your next arrangements for us?" Gu Lu asked a similar question to Ai Liang.

"When you knocked on the door and came in, I was talking to Ai Liang about this topic. Academician Guo crossed his fingers and said with a smile, "Now, some basic research work on semiconductor quantum chips has been arranged, so your next job is to be responsible for some deeper content." ”

Gu Lu and Ai Liang looked at Academician Guo with straight eyes, waiting for Academician Guo's follow-up explanation.

Academician Guo didn't mean to appetize a few people, and after a pause in his tone, he said directly, "The next plan, I am going to let you study the topic of 'qubit coding'!"

Qubit encoding?!

Gu Lu and Ai Liang were stunned.

By taking the spin or charge distribution of electrons trapped in quantum dots as the basic unit that makes up qubits, the state of electrons is precisely controlled by magnetic or electric fields, so as to complete the basic gate operations required for quantum computing.

In this process, the appropriate electron state is selected as the computational ground state of the qubit, i.e., the encoding of the qubit.

The reason why quantum computers far surpass ordinary traditional computers in terms of computing speed and other performance is because of the existence of qubit coding.

But qubit encoding is not fixed, but needs to be artificially designed.

The better the qubit encoding, the higher the speed of the quantum computer.

Let's take the simplest example.

It takes about ten microseconds for a general qubit encoding to achieve a quantum flip from zero to one.

However, it can be evaluated as an excellent level of qubit coding, and this time can be controlled to about 100 picoseconds.

(A microsecond equals a billionth of a second, a picosecond equals a trillionth of a second)

Nowadays.

In the qubit encoding based on semiconductor quantum chips, the fastest qubit flip time can be more than 100 picoseconds.

But this number obviously does not meet the requirements of Academician Guo's side.

Because according to the news that Academician Guo got from the United States, some research institutes in the United States have reduced the operation speed to about a few picoseconds.

Of course, they can't be left behind, and they have to work towards the number of picoseconds.

Therefore, Academician Guo set the next research topic of the project team as 'qubit coding'.

After thinking briefly in their minds, Gu Lu and Ai Liang knew what Academician Guo's purpose was.

…………

"So, teacher, who of us are you going to give this project to?" Ai Liang finally came out of his autistic state and said eagerly.

In fact, Ai Liang is more inclined to Academician Guo to do this task by himself.

Because qubit encoding is one of the areas that Ai Liang is good at.

Ai Liang had already lost to Gu Lu once.

This time he and Gu Lu stood on the same starting line again, and Ai Liang still hoped in his heart that he could defeat Gu Lu once.

So Ai Liang's eyes full of anticipation fell on Academician Guo.

Academician Guo was temporarily in deep thought, and after a few seconds, Academician Guo swept over the three people in the office and said softly, "Actually, I was going to hand over this topic to Ai Liang at the beginning, but it just so happened that Professor Gu and Director An also achieved the conclusion of the project, so I have a better plan on my side." ”

A better solution?

Gu Lu and the others were slightly puzzled.

Academician Guo said with a smile, "That plan is to merge your two research groups and cooperate with the two groups to study the topic of 'qubit coding'!"

Collaborative research?!

Gu Lu and Ai Liang both had surprised looks in their eyes.

Obviously, both of them didn't expect Gu Lu to make this arrangement.

"What, you two have objections to this arrangement?" Academician Guo crossed his fingers and looked at the two with a smile.

"No, no. ”

"I obey the arrangement completely!"

Ai Liang and Gu Lu shook their heads in unison.

Not to mention that Academician Guo is the leader of the current project team and has a very high right to speak, it is not reasonable to say that Academician Guo's arrangement of allowing the two groups to cooperate in research is not unreasonable.

'Qubit coding' itself is a rather complex topic.

If a single research group were to do the research, it would probably take a lot of time.

But if the two groups cooperate, one plus one must be greater than two, and this time is estimated to save a lot.

Therefore, excluding personal factors, there is nothing wrong with Academician Guo's arrangement.

"Since there is no objection, then the matter is settled. Starting tomorrow, your two groups will merge into one and start the research work of 'qubit coding', and strive to realize the transformation of the operation speed from 100 picoseconds to picoseconds as soon as possible!" Academician Guo directly made the final decision.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Gu Lu and Ai nodded their heads.

Gu Lu turned his head to look at Ai Liang, and stretched out his hand with a smile, "Researcher Ai, happy cooperation!"

Ai Liang barely squeezed out a smile and shook hands with Gu Lu, the expression on his face was a little unnatural.

Now Ai Liang's mood is very complicated.

Originally, Ai Liang only planned to become a competitor with Gu Lu, and then compete with the next topic.

But what about now?

As a result, they somehow became partners.

How can this get back to the field!

I have to say that Ai Liang's mood is even more uncomfortable now!

But......

Ai Liang thought about it again and found that things were not as bad as he thought.

Since the topic of 'qubit coding' is a joint research between the two research groups, then in the next period of time, he and Gu Lu will definitely stay under the same roof.

In the same project, the two are considered to be a cooperative model, although there is no way to make a vertical comparison, but it is still possible to make a horizontal comparison!

For example, the degree of contribution to the research of the topic.

In the end, the project can be successfully studied, and it must rely on the efforts of all members of the research group, which is true.

However, the degree to which each person contributes to the final research results is different.

Some people have more, some people have less.

Now that Gu Lu and himself have been assigned to the same project, there is definitely no way to compare the speed of the completion of the project, but the degree of contribution to the results of the project can still be compared.

For this, Ai Liang is full of confidence.
