[Chapter 281: Lack of a Soul]

Zhang Han pointed to the object and said with a humorous smile: "What a big refrigerator!" ”

"Ha~!" Braunel looked at the object and smiled, "This is the latest generation of quantum computers equipped with D-Wave7x quantum processors. You're right, Mr. Zhang! It is indeed a refrigerator, the coldest refrigerator ever built, to be exact, with internal cooling that allows the niobium-source chip to only work at temperatures slightly above absolute zero. ”

Braunel explains to him: "To maintain coherent quantum superposition and quantum entanglement, you have to do it at ultra-low temperatures. The phenomenon of quantum entanglement will allow quantum units, that is, particles to interact, no matter what coordinate position the quantum is in in the space, they will always be closely linked under the quantum mechanical system, but it is very delicate, and any interference of heat or light will destroy this process, thus affecting the computing efficiency of the quantum computer, so the ultra-low temperature environment is essential. ”

"As the current frontier hot technology in the field of science, quantum physics is also being pursued by people, but how quantum physics is, and why it follows these dream-like laws, no one has yet been able to give a definite conclusion, there is no truth in nature, there are different opinions, the most common view is that different quantum forms exist in the major independent universes, but in any case, the answer sometimes does not matter, because our company has still made remarkable achievements in the field of quantum computers."

Braunel said, looking at the gray-black 'big refrigerator' again, he looked at Zhang Han and said: "This quantum computer, equipped with a D-Wave7x quantum processor, is D-Wave7x, not D-Wave7, that's right, this is the company's latest generation of quantum processors." ”

"The D-Wave7 only has 5,000 quantum cells, but the D-Wave7x is capable of carrying 10,000 quantum cells, which is a full double!" Braunel said proudly.

Zhang Han was a little surprised when he heard the news, as a top practitioner in the field of computers, he instantly aroused his interest, and he subconsciously went down and said: "10,000 quantum units can be in 2 to 10,000 states at the same time, that is to say, there is a possibility of 10 to the 3,000th power, and there are only 10 to the 80th power atoms in the entire universe." Zhang Han stared at the gray-black refrigerator, shifted his gaze to Braunel, and said, "Does this mean that it is in 10 to the 3000th power of the universe at the same time?" It's crazy that there are tens of billions of different universes in one computer at the same time? ”

"Uh...... Mr. Zhang! Braunel showed a different look, he said: "I take the liberty of asking, you are a ...... in XlouS."

A hint of embarrassment was rising in Braunel's heart.

Zhang Han obviously took on the role of an engineer, and when he heard Braunel's doubts, he knew that he had been recognized, so he simply stopped hiding it and said with a smile: "I led all the computer engineers under Matrix Technology, except for the founder, he cares about me, and I manage everyone else!" ”

"Uh......" Braunel was embarrassed suddenly, and said a lot of things in front of him, it turned out that the other party was the top of the real experts, and now thinking back on the previous scene, Braunel felt embarrassed and thrown into the Pacific Ocean.

However, as the CEO of a company, the adjustment of mentality must be fast, and being thick-skinned is also a necessary skill, and Braunel quickly adjusted. Thinking about the identity and origin of the other party, Braunel felt that if he was lucky, the other party might take two units, and only large companies and state agencies could afford to buy them.

Quantum computers are a bit expensive.

"I'm more concerned about the ability of this quantum computer to function properly?" Zhang Han asked.

"Of course!" Braunel replied quickly.

When Zhang Han heard this, he was surprised, and immediately asked, "Can you reach the speed of theoretical operation?" ”

However, looking back, Zhang Han immediately denied it, if it could really be achieved, then D-Wave would have caused a sensation all over the world, because it would mean the birth of a real quantum computer.

Knowing that Zhang Han is a top expert in the field of computer science and leads all the computer engineers of the huge matrix technology, Braunel spoke cautiously and conservatively, thought for a moment, organized some language, and responded: "Although it can operate normally, it can only reach 0.0000090% of the peak of theoretical operations." This value is still a bit embarrassing, but Braunel changed his words and said: "But one thing is undoubted, the potential of quantum computers is quite amazing, if this computer can reach 90% of the peak of theoretical computing, its computing power will exceed 10 times the current total of all conventional computers and supercomputers in the world!" ”

Braunel immediately took on the role of salesman, saying: "Still, it's very strong, and a number of customers have brought it to their own organizations, including Alphabet Umbrella with three, NASA with five, and Amazon's Jeff on D-Wave's investor list. Bezos, the CIA's science and technology arm In-Q-Tel, and so on, it is clear that these world's most forward-thinking companies and institutions believe that the future of quantum computers is bright! It's just that for now, we still have a long way to go before we can turn this potential into reality! ”

"I think it can be done right now!" Zhang Han said suddenly.

"Hmm...... So...... Well? What? Braunel subconsciously responded, suddenly stunned, and instantly locked his eyes on Zhang Han, "Wait, Mr. Zhang!" You just said ...... Sorry, you ......"

"Do you know why it's so low?" With a smile, Zhang Han patted the isolation material, pointed to the gray-black refrigerator inside, and said.

"Why?" Braunel subconsciously asked, the people in the laboratory were all real senior experts, and they couldn't help but put down their work and pricked up their ears to listen.

Zhang Han did not answer him, but asked rhetorically: "Mr. Fern, how long do you think it will take for human beings to truly build quantum computers?" ”

"It will take at least 30 years." Braunel said uncertainly.

"No!" Zhang Han shook his head, "It's now!" ”

Zhang Han continued to answer his question above, and said, "Let me tell you why his calculation efficiency is so pitiful. He looked at the eyes of everyone present focused on himself, didn't pay much attention to it, paused, and said, "Because you have only created a complete body, it still lacks a true 'soul'. ”

"Soul?" Braunel muttered to himself, his brain racing through thought.

"It's like a person who has no consciousness and no mind, no soul, that's called the walking dead." Zhang Han said and glanced at the quantum computer, "It's like a soulless walking corpse." ”

"So how do you keep it from turning into the walking dead?" Braunel subconsciously asked, "How can I make it have a soul?" ”

"That's what I'm here for D-Wave." Zhang Han smiled faintly and said.

After a moment, he said, "Please prepare me a regular computer." ”

"What are you doing? Brewer! Hurry up and give Mr. Zhang a PC! Braunel suddenly whispered at the staff in the lab, and at this moment, his heart was shocked, excited, short of breath and incredulous.

Could it be that it is going to be realized today?

Quantum computers in the true sense of the word!!
