Chapter 243: Major Achievements of the Quantum Laboratory (2)

In the Pangu Science and Technology Park, the headquarters building stands out in the empty suburbs.

The magnificent main project is still under construction. Xiao Ming's design of five conjoined headquarters buildings with a height of 99 meters has begun to take shape.

The design unit of the building is the research institute of Tongji University in Shanghai, and the structure of the building is very peculiar - the four main buildings are inclined to the center of each other, starting at the golden section of 61.183 meters, and finally continuing to rise 37.818 meters in their own direction, and the top part is also enclosed, which is a huge terrace.

The top floor of the headquarters is used for the Pangu Science and Technology Hotel and entertainment, while the terrace has a sports field and a huge helipad in addition to garden vegetation, infinity pool, hot spring pool.

The highlight of the building is that the four buildings intersect together, not relying on reinforced concrete corridors, but relying on the most traditional mortise and tenon structure of the Xia Kingdom, which seem to be together, but in fact they are independent of each other.

In addition to the headquarters building, other supporting buildings, greening and general level of the park have been basically completed.

This is a science and technology park with a total area of 3,300 acres, and it is also a huge park.

Even at the end of January, many plants are full of life, revealing a proud green color in the cold winter.

The Quantum Physics Laboratory is located in the heart of the park, surrounded by greenery and lakes, and looks very inconspicuous.

The laboratory is the focus of Xiao Ming, so it was completed a few months ago, and the equipment and instruments in the laboratory are all designed and built by Pangu Technology staff in accordance with the principles and drawings provided by Xiao Ming, which is unique in the world.

Walking into the laboratory, the experimenters continued to be busy with their work, and did not stop because of Xiao Ming's arrival.

This is the rules and regulations that Xiao Ming formulated for the laboratory, unless it is urgent, otherwise even if he arrives here, the researchers do not have to get up to greet him.

Xu Limin took Xiao Ming to the central control room, where all the core data of the quantum experiment was owned, and all the data was encrypted by the Pangu system and Super Xiaochu, unless Xiao Ming was willing, no one could get the information inside.

"With twenty quantum entanglement pairs packed into twenty color centers, we were able to create a quantum chip with 150 qubits. ”

Twenty qubit entanglement, this is the world's most advanced technology that Xiao Ming knows.

Google created a 9-qubit chip two years ago with 72-qubit entanglement technology, which is capable of performing 2 operations to the 72nd power at the same time, and the computing can exceed 5,000 Intel i9 chips.

Xia Guo managed to break through the 10-qubit entangled state a year ago, nominally surpassing Google.

IBM also recently announced a 50-qubit chip based on 8-qubit entanglement, and Intel, Apple and others have also made major breakthroughs in related technologies.

But whether it is Xia Guo or Google, the technology of quantum chips has come out, but the application is quite difficult.

There are three main drawbacks to their technique.

The first drawback: Although a powerful quantum chip has been created, it is quite difficult to control the quantum entangled state, so only a few calculations can be performed with the quantum chip.

What does this mean? This means that the quantum chips of Google or IBM or Xia Guo cannot be used to watch movies, nor can they be used to surf the Internet, let alone play games. From the research of quantum chips to commercial use, everyone still has a long way to go.

The second drawback, including Xia Guo, is that all the quantum chips currently on the market are really big!

Because of the superconducting technology used in the current quantum chip computer, a series of harsh conditions such as sound insulation, heat insulation, electromagnetic insulation, and operating temperature close to absolute zero.

This allows a small quantum chip to operate in an isolation room, which basically occupies an area of 10 to 20 square meters, and all the isolation equipment weighs dozens of tons.

No user is willing to hold dozens of tons of notebooks on their feet, and no user is willing to buy dozens of tons of computers, even if the computing speed of this computer is very fast, and it can crack the password of a roommate in seconds to obtain his **.

The third drawback is energy consumption!

Not to mention the energy consumption of controlling the amount of self-entanglement and doing calculations, the energy consumption of controlling those isolated devices is terrifying.

First you have to connect the industrial electricity, install a special transformer and 360 volts, and then you can use it. Whenever you calculate the time by yourself, you will hear the buzzing current of the substation box outside, and you have to prevent the substation box from overheating and causing a fire.

Secondly, to run a quantum chip computer for an hour, you have to be prepared to pay a few hundred yuan in electricity bills.

Even if the chip is fast enough, no one will use this power-hungry, giant, and only a few specific equations to solve a stupid quantum chip, unless you are stupid. Consumers are certainly not stupid, so companies like Google don't have any market for quantum chips except in the field of scientific research.

But the quantum chips in the lab are different.

The use of silicon carbide as a carrier solves the problem that companies such as Google and IBM must use superconductivity and isolation devices.

The entangled electron pairs are respectively loaded into the color center, and controlled by the laser, when the laser irradiates the spintrons, they will present different entangled states, which also solves the problem of controlling the entanglement of quantum pairs and the problem of energy consumption.

The color center in silicon carbide crystals is a point defect in a transparent crystal, and the defect point can capture electrons, and of course, the volume is also very small.

The lab's 20-qubit entanglement chip is no more than 3 square millimeters in size and has negligible mass.

And Xiao Ming's ultimate goal is to establish a mature wearable device on this 3 square millimeter chip, and the size of the wearable device must be easy for humans to carry, rather than wearing a big helmet.

Xu Limin first invited Xiao Ming to watch the chip introduction video made by Xiao Chu and the current scientific research results.

Xu Limin said very excitedly: "I dare to say that we have been ahead of mankind for a hundred years in the chip industry. As soon as our quantum chips come out, then the real artificial era will come!"

"It should be immature artificial intelligence. Xiao Ming said silently in his heart.

Because in Panshacin's science and technology catalog, the real era of artificial intelligence came after the advent of biological intelligence chips.

However, quantum chips have been able to meet all the computing and prediction fields of human beings, Xiao Ming thought that the chip would definitely come out, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Xu Limin was still excitedly saying: "What Google, what Intel, what Apple! We can beat them for a hundred years, and they can't find any flaws!"

Xu Limin seemed to be in a hurry to demonstrate the results of his experiment to Xiao Ming, and he said: "We already have a chip installed for use, do you want to see his power?"
