Chapter 480

As Ai Liang said.

The development of quantum computers is the immediate priority.

The miniaturization of quantum computers has become a relatively minor matter.

The reason is simple.

Because if a quantum computer cannot be developed, it will be meaningless to achieve miniaturization.

In this case, it is better to wait for the successful development of quantum computers before considering the matter of miniaturization.

Gu Lu nodded, indicating understanding.

"Let's go to the library. ”

Ai Liang took Gu Lu to the data room inside the Quantum Information Laboratory, and after rummaging for a while, he found those experimental record files.

"For graphene, a semiconductor chip material, we and our teachers have conducted a total of 11 experiments to try to transform the internal structure of graphene materials into a structure that is more suitable for qubits, but the results of the experiments are not satisfactory. ”

Ai Liang spoke while copying the experimental data for Gu Lu on the printer next to him.

"The carbon atoms inside graphene form a hexagonal honeycomb lattice with sp2 hybrid orbitals, which makes its internal structure quite stable and has excellent conductivity. At the beginning, we were stuck in this problem for a long time, so we temporarily shelved the project. ”

"At the moment, we haven't come up with the perfect solution for both, so it's up to you!"

Ai Liang handed the stack of experimental data that had just been printed and still warm to Gu Lu.

Gu Lu stretched out his hand to take it and said with a smile, "Researcher Ai, don't worry, we will definitely overcome the two major technical problems as much as possible while ensuring that the excellent properties of the graphene material itself are not affected." ”

Ai Liang sighed lightly, "I hope so." ”

To be honest, Ai Liang is not too optimistic.

Ai Liang has personally studied this topic.

At the beginning, Ai Liang and several other laboratory researchers had been working on this topic for almost half a year.

However, they have not solved any of the two major technical problems of graphene materials.

It's not just that none of them have been done, but several people can be said to be unable to grasp any clues.

It was as if there was a fog ahead, and it was impossible to see the direction of the road, let alone the end.

So after failing more than a dozen times and leaving behind a bunch of experimental data that was not of high value, it was abandoned.

And now, this project has been taken over by Gu Lu.

Ai Liang, who knew the difficulty of the project, began to worry about Gu Lu a little.

I hope that Gu Lu, a young man, will not be hit by the temporary failure of the project.

Ai Liang knew that his teacher valued Gu Lu very much.

But what Gu Lu's real strength is, Ai Liang doesn't know.

But......

In the face of those two technical problems that are like peaks, even if Gu Lu's strength is strong, I am afraid that he will be helpless for a while.

Ai Liang thought like this as he watched Gu Lu leave with the photocopied experimental data.

…………

After Gu Lu left the quantum information laboratory, he directly posted the location sent by An Yu on WeChat and came to a laboratory where An Yu and the others were.

The area of the Quantum Information Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is not large, and it is obviously unable to accommodate more than 100 people in the entire project team.

Therefore, of the six research groups under the project team, except for the first and second groups, the remaining four teams were assigned to several other laboratories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Since Gu Lu and An Yu's research group is researching semiconductor materials, the office location is arranged in a solid state physical materials laboratory.

Now An Yu and the others were waiting for Gu Lu in a conference room.

"I'm sorry, Academician Guo asked me to come over for some business, so I was a little late. As soon as Gu Lu pushed the door in, he apologized again and again.

In the conference room, plus An Yu, there were a total of eleven people sitting.

Plus Gu Lu, this is all the researchers in their entire third research group.

Seeing Gu Lu push the door in, except for An Yu, the other ten people all showed a look of surprise on their faces.

When chatting just now, everyone learned from An Yu that the researcher named Gu Lu, who was the leader of the research group with An Yu, was a young and handsome professor of Yan University.

At first, everyone didn't believe it, thinking that this was just a business blow between An Yu and Gu Lu before.

But now that they see Gu Lu's real person, they believe it.

Young and handsome!

These two words, which have little to do with scientific researchers, are placed on Gu Lu's body, but there is no sense of disobedience at all.

It was as if these two words were tailor-made for Gu Lu.

While everyone was stunned, Gu Lu had already sat down next to An Yu.

"The meeting hasn't started yet, has it?" Gu Lu asked in a low voice.

An Yu smiled and shook his head, "Not yet, we're waiting for you to come back." ”

Gu Lu nodded, "Then let's start now." ”

An Yu knocked on the conference table, bringing everyone back to their senses from their shocked thoughts.

"Now that we're all together, let's start the meeting. ”

An Yu cleared her throat and spoke.

"Our research group is mainly engaged in the improvement of semiconductor quantum chip materials, more specifically, the improvement of graphene quantum semiconductor materials. ”

"Graphene is currently the most suitable material for semiconductor quantum chips, but the material has two disadvantages, one is that the spin-orbit coupling and the presence of net nuclear spin will affect the number of qubits in the quantum chip and hold the most. Second, the relativistic properties of the carriers of carbon atomic materials and the zero-gap band structure will increase the complexity of the qubit structure. ”

An Yu put up two fingers and continued, "These two shortcomings are problems that need to be solved urgently, and the task of our research team is to overcome these two difficulties. ”

"I discussed with Professor Gu a few days ago, and finally decided to set the first goal of the next stage as the first difficulty of graphene materials. ”

"That is, to eliminate the effect of the spin-orbit coupling and the net nuclear spin on the number of qubits in graphene in a way. ”

Without discussion, An Yu directly announced the decision.

"I'll talk about the specific research plan ...... next."

The whole meeting was led by An Yu.

After all, An Yu has many years of experience as the deputy director of the Quantum Optics Laboratory in the Demon Capital, so Gu Lu naturally asked An Yu to preside over the meeting.

An Yu then spent another ten minutes explaining the specific research plan, and then turned his head to look at Gu Lu.

"Professor Gu, is there anything else you would like to add?"

Gu Lu nodded, and picked up the experimental data material from the desktop, "This is what Academician Guo asked Researcher Ai to copy to me just now, here, there are all the data records of a total of eleven experiments, but these eleven experiments are all failures, so let's learn from them appropriately." ”
