Chapter Twenty-Eight: Quantum is Quantum
Asking such a question shows that although Zhou Hui's scientific literacy is far above the average level of society, she is still a person in the entertainment industry after all, and she is like a mountain across the line.
Zhou Hui's mistake is that she clearly underestimated the influence of an Abel Prize winner, or more accurately, an Abel Prize winner who is also a young scientist at the front of the Nobel Prize queue in front of the Nobel Prize gates.
"Science and technology are the primary productive forces", this is not just talking, think about it, the giant magnetoresistive effect discovered by Feuer of France and Greenberger of Hans decades ago is the core of all information industries today, the physical basis of hard disk storage technology, you will understand the influence of scientists on modern society.
Not to mention Einstein. There is your formula that shocked the world, E=^2, energy is equal to mass multiplied by the speed of light squared, it is this inconspicuous formula, after the Second World War, to ensure the peace of the entire Blue Star for more than 70 years, although the countries are constantly fighting, but the big war between the nuclear powers is because of this formula, can not be fought.
Wang Yinan's current fame makes him have a lot less to worry about going abroad, not to mention a relatively safe place like Europa, when Qian Zhonghua learned that Wang Yinan was going to Europa again, he just muttered, "It's really idle", and there was no fierce opposition.
On the morning of the third day, Wang Yinan made a list of the feedback and itineraries of each school have been implemented one after another, there are no accidents, no fool refuses Wang Yinan's visit, if the president turns Wang Yinan out of the door because of funds or other reasons, it is estimated that the university will not want to get any donations in the second year, of course, before this, I believe that the president must have already left in disgrace.
The assistant of the Imperial Capital University introduced the itinerary to Wang Yinan, the first stop was Bali, although the University of Bali has been very fierce recently, Wang Yinan still chose the old Bali Higher Normal School, then Oxford University in Wudu, and finally the picturesque Zurich.
Although Zhou Hui is also a star, France has been to France more than once, with her popularity, the possibility of refusal is still very low, but this visa experience still subverted her outlook on life and worldview, the assistant of Imperial Capital University asked Wang Yinan and her for a passport, saying that she went to the consulate to make an appointment.
Zhou Huixin said, "Sure enough, the treatment is different, you can still make an appointment, when you went to apply for a visa by yourself in the past, people didn't care who you were, no matter who you were, no matter how big a star was, you had to line up in the visa hall honestly."
Before starting the trip to Europa, Wang Yinan had a very important matter to deal with, that is, the second Yanqi Lake meeting to discuss the development direction of China's next-generation computer technology, and Wang Yinan scheduled the time to go abroad in the afternoon of the second day after the meeting.
As the leader of the new generation of superconducting computer faction, Wang Yinan knows that the experts who support the direction of quantum computers have not been idle recently, they have sought support in the industry, and even academicians from Imperial Capital University have given Wang Yinan a message, asking him not to be so stubborn, in addition, they are also looking for allies everywhere in the industry, and the aerospace port is the biggest foreign aid they have pulled, of course, Wang Yinan guesses that it has a small relationship with the huge amount of money needed to launch satellites.
In this context, Wang Yinan is not so stupid, Don Quixote who challenged the windmill and Sisyphus who pushed the stone, the final outcome is not good, Wang Yinan decided to take the initiative to admit it, no longer oppose the plan of the quantum computer, anyway, in the long run, "the quantum computer will never have a big problem", Wang Yinan comforted himself, "Quantum is quantum", so this meeting is destined to become a united conference, a victorious conference.
Of course, if you just admit it, Wang Yinan doesn't need to show this face in the past, he didn't just participate in this meeting to admit it, this day, Wang Yinan is not without gains, from the camp of quantum computers, he successfully rebelled against Academician Sun of the Institute of Computing.
While Professor Pan, who advocates the direction of quantum computers, preached his revised plan, Wang Yinan went to Academician Sun's side, and spent half a day discussing a new concept of superconducting computers, or traditional chip solutions based on superconductors, with Academician Sun.
This scheme is probably like this, first of all, the use of superconducting materials as the basic communication circuit of the chip, that is, etching the communication part of the chip on the superconducting material, mainly the bus, I, and the interconnection part of the storage.
Next, on this basis, molecular assembly technology is used to assemble some gate circuits based on the superconducting Joseph effect on the interconnected bus and Unicom circuit, such as NAND gates, or gates, as well as more complex adders and logic units composed of multiple gate circuits, so that on the basis of not changing the high-level hardware design language, that is, VHDL is also used to design chips.
However, at the physical level of the final chip realization, the innovative combination of superconductivity and molecular weaving technology, Wang Yinan estimates that with the basic process of 50 nanometers, coupled with multiple layers of molecular weaving technology, the performance that can be achieved by the 5-nanometer process of the latest toothpaste factory can be achieved or even surpassed, and the energy consumption is lower.
However, as a prerequisite, Wang Yinan also asked Academician Sun to give up the outdated alpha structure, which he really has seen as unpleasant for a long time.
"You have to use the AR architecture, which is non-negotiable," Wang Yinan said.
"There are too many patent traps in the x6 architecture, and because it is an IS architecture, the logic and circuit of the chip design are too complex, and I have nothing to say if you give up on him",
"But the AR architecture is open, you can buy it, and it's not expensive, although the performance may not be as good as Alpha, but if you think about how many mobile phones are using AR chips now, this reason can kill everything",
"The premise of cooperation is to use AR architecture, otherwise I will find someone else to cooperate, I believe that people who are interested in superconductivity and molecular weaving technology must be more than you", Wang Yinan gave an ultimatum,
"And don't forget that I'm still a physicist, in my judgment, if you want to make a general-purpose quantum chip in the real sense, it is impossible without twenty years, I said Academician Sun, you will rely on funding for twenty years, and then share some funds from Professor Pan to live?" ,
"Believe me, life will be very sad", Wang Yinan said to Academician Sun sincerely, and almost shed tears of sympathy.
In the end, this reason completely moved Academician Sun, and no matter how stupid he was, he would gamble the rest of his academic career for an illusory plan that might not be completed in 20 years.
So when the experts who advocate quantum computing are making great progress, and the situation is not a small good, but a good one, Wang Yinan and Academician Sun, who were arguing with each other last time, formed a new alliance, so there are no eternal friends and eternal enemies in academia, only eternal interests, ah, this three views are wrong, only eternal truth!
The meeting finally unanimously approved the quantum computer as the key breakthrough direction of China's next-generation computer technology, and Professor Pan of the University of Science and Technology also logically took the biggest piece of cake, after all, launching satellites is a super money-burning thing.
Wang Yinan can't come in vain, as an exchange condition for not objecting, Wang Yinan and Academician Sun teamed up to cut a big cake.
Satisfied, after returning from the Yanqi Lake venue, Wang Yinan decided to hand over the superconducting computer project to Sun Wei to be in charge.
When she returned to Zhou Hui's house, it was almost dark, and when she saw Wang Yinan coming in, Zhou Hui was a little drumming in her heart, and she asked Wang Yinan,
"I haven't been notified to go to the consulate for a visa until now, and it is definitely impossible to go again today",
"The problem is that we have to leave tomorrow, and the visa has not yet been settled, is the little assistant of Imperial Capital University unreliable, or is Wang Yinan's name not very effective?"
Wang Yinan is right to think about it, he won't go to the visa tomorrow morning, but the ticket will be tomorrow afternoon, so it's too compact.
Wang Yinan hurriedly called the assistant of Imperial Capital University, and the menacing Wang Yinan hung up the phone without saying a word, looking a little stunned.
"What's wrong", Zhou Hui asked,
"Is it that I can't leave tomorrow and have to be rescheduled?"
Wang Yinan shook his head, "No need to go to the consulate, let's go directly to the airport tomorrow afternoon to meet the little assistant, the visa has been done, she thought we knew, so she didn't say it",
Zhou Hui was dumbfounded, "Ah, I've never heard that people can get a visa if they don't go",
"So, everyone says that visas are difficult, so it depends on whose visa it is, right?" , Wang Yinan said very stinky fart.
The next morning, Wang Yinan and Sun Wei carefully communicated the new superconducting computer chip scheme.
"That's right, both of you are surnamed Sun, and the cooperation with this family should be smoother",
Wang Yinan specially advised, "We must be the main one, market-oriented, if it doesn't work, use money to open the way",
"Don't get me wrong, it's not for you to bribe, if there is a disagreement, you remember a principle, academic and non-core disagreements, it doesn't matter, let's give in",
"If it is the core problem, it involves our marketization plan, we must adhere to it, and if it doesn't work, we will make additional investment and divide it into sub-projects."
"Understood", Sun Wei said, "Boss, your insistence on using the AR system is already very revealing",
"Yes, the AR system is not necessarily better than the alpha system, but if there are enough people using it, this one reason is enough."
Sun Wei's ability, Wang Yinan is still very relieved, you know, using the Gödel system can only find five defects of the circuit design master, the entire Blue Star is estimated to be few.
Wang Yinan and his entourage boarded a flight to Bali, and eleven hours later, they would arrive at Charles de Gaulle Airport that evening.
The Ballier Normal School will send someone to meet them at the airport and send them to the hotel, of course, there is no such thing as free travel, Zhou Hui can happily go to the Champs-Élysées to buy a few bags, and a bunch of scientists in France are already gearing up, waiting for Wang Yinan's arrival.
"Don't worry, even if it's a stone, I'll squeeze out the oil", this sentence should be the heartfelt words of the scholars of the Higher Normal School.
In addition to the French scholars who desperately wanted to dig out a few words from Wang Yinan's brain, there were other people who were also waiting for Wang Yinan's arrival.
At the foot of the Pyrenees, in a small mountain village off the beaten track, an elderly man with glasses stood at the door of a dilapidated hut, his hair had fallen out, and he couldn't tell his age.
"What made you find this only trail in the jungle?" ,
"Tao's skills are still so skillful, full of genius and wisdom, but relying only on genius and wisdom, this hidden path cannot be found",
"Countless times I have seen some masterpiece of God in the fog, and I never thought that true wisdom could be so, ugly"
"Yes, it's ugly, so ugly that human beings can't stand it, and they can't understand the beauty contained in those clutter and ugliness",
"I've spent my whole life trying to describe these ugly, real wisdom in human language, in the language of mathematics."
"Tell me, child, have you seen these ugliness too",
"You're wrong, child, you're desperately trying to embellished with beauty and coincidence, but true wisdom is ugly",
"Like ants",
In the dilapidated hut, there is an open journal on the table, and the page that is turned is the paper of Wang Yinan and Li Wenjing.
