March 21, 2017.
The sun shines brightly and the spring breeze is slightly warm.
Today may be an extremely ordinary day for others.
However, it is of great significance to everyone at Luzhou Quantum Information Research Institute.
Each one was nervous and excited and expectant, without the calm mind of the past.
The reason for this is very simple.
That is, the Bai Ze quantum computer is about to be officially launched.
No one expected that progress would be so fast.
Including Wang Donglai, he realized his influence only afterwards.
The domestic laboratories for researching quantum computers are far more than the Luzhou Institute of Quantum Information.
This is also a normal thing. After all, it is such a major scientific research project, so we naturally need to prepare more R&D institutions to be responsible for different directions and fields.
After handing over the project leadership to Wang Donglai, whether it was Pan Hong, Lu Yang, or Wang Hua, they really did this.
Even the research and development of Zu Chongzhi's quantum computer, under Pan Hong's personal persuasion, the relevant research and development was suspended.
All the resources freed up were invested in the Luzhou Institute of Quantum Information.
The reason why Pan Hong can do this is because of his reputation and character accumulation over the years.
At the same time, others also wanted to see if the plan designed by Wang Donglai, who was so magical as Pan Hong said, was so powerful.
The quantum computer that can manipulate thirty superconducting qubits has been designed, but I was still dissatisfied with it and wanted to develop a quantum computer that can manipulate 100 superconducting qubits in one go.
You can completely imagine what kind of shock this news will be.
However, because of Pan Hong's endorsement and Wang Donglai's reputation.
However, many people are half-believing and half-doubted, and this news has not spread more widely.
now.
All staff looked extremely serious and looked full of expectations.
During this period, they really tried their best.
It is precisely this attitude that we can do relevant work in such a short time and push the process to the experiment.
"Academician Wang, the equipment has completed self-inspection and meets the operating standards!"
In the main processor room of the superconducting quantum computer, Lu Yang reported the situation to Wang Donglai with a serious expression. "Yes." Wang Donglai nodded, still looking calm and calm.
"Academician Pan, I won't give you this initial instruction."
"You should take more responsibility!"
Wang Donglai said to Pan Hong with a smile.
A smile appeared on Pan Hong's face, and he waved his hand without seeing any other person and said, "Academician Wang, you are too polite."
"Although the experiment has not started yet, I have a strong premonition that there should be no problem with our experiment this time, and we are very likely to create history!"
Pan Hong showed great confidence, and even more confident than Wang Donglai.
Even Lu Yang, who was beside him, said at this moment: "Yes, we have seen all the design plans, it is unimaginable that quantum computers have such design concepts."
"If Academician Wang hadn't joined this project, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought that quantum computers could be designed like this."
"Although we scientific research staff should not engage in feudal superstition, I do believe in Academician Wang's ability from the bottom of my heart and believe that our experiment will have an ideal result."
Faced with the trust shown by the two, Wang Donglai nodded.
"Then let's witness history together!"
"Start the computer!"
Wang Donglai's expression suddenly became serious and he said these two words in a deep voice.
As Wang Donglai gave the order, everyone immediately began to act.
The test of quantum computers is not like a rocket launch.
After a command, you can immediately see the rocket engine start working, ejecting flames, and rushing straight into the sky.
Quantum computers are also computers.
Its experiment naturally will not have any external manifestations, and it can make people judge whether the quantum computer is successful through these external manifestations.
The system responded quickly, and the picture gradually appeared on the home screen.
When everyone saw this scene, although they had shown great trust before, they couldn't help but feel relieved at this moment.
It will be half the winning.
The algorithms and operating systems of Bai Ze quantum computers are all written by Wang Donglai.
He abandoned the original design ideas of Pan Hong and others, but incorporated Wang Donglai's thoughts and ideas on quantum computers.
It can be said that Bai Ze quantum computer is almost completely a product completed by Wang Donglai himself.
Wang Donglai did not deliberately conceal or set up obstacles.
In my daily work, I also explain my ideas to everyone, helping everyone understand and improve their relevant knowledge reserves.
The power is successfully turned on and the system is running normally.
It has already made a good start. Although the stone in everyone's heart has not completely landed, it is no longer the same as before.
However, Wang Donglai, Pan Hong and others did not relax at all.
This is just the beginning.
The subsequent calculation data is the most important.
For example, the number of coupled qubits that Bai Ze quantum computer can deeply control is the most intuitive data and one of the most important data.
The other is the level of error correction technology.
After all, according to Wang Donglai's design plan, the quantum bits that Bai Ze quantum computer can control can reach 100, and the error correction technology is improved to 500 million mistakes.
The next work is to verify the real data of Bai Ze's quantum computer.
This world is materialistic, and it does not mean that the design plan can be fully realized.
If the data tested by Bai Ze quantum computer is similar to the design plan, then they can announce that the quantum computer has been officially developed.
But if the gap is large, although it cannot be said to be a failure, it also exposed the problem and needs to be found.
Is the design plan false, or is there a problem with the manufacturing process?
Although the West has not yet released more advanced quantum computer data, everyone who was inspired by Wang Donglai is no longer satisfied with their previous achievements.
In the minds of Pan Hong, Lu Yang and others, at least the score of fifty superconducting qubits must be considered qualified. "Professor Lu, let's start. Test it out early, and everyone can feel at ease sooner!"
Wang Donglai showed great confidence.
He had already conducted dozens of simulation experiments through Wa through this design plan, and it can be said that he had already figured out all the possible problems.
And, in the subsequent work, he also tracked some processes to ensure that there were no deviations.
Wang Donglai's confidence also infected other people. Lu Yang started working with great enthusiasm.
"Academician Wang, I can't wait!"
Lu Yang sighed and started various test work.
The others in the laboratory are also working in their own positions to cooperate with Lu Yang's work.
The test work is boring and takes a certain amount of time to complete.
Wang Donglai twisted his head and said to Pan Hong, "Academician Pan, since the test has been carried out, I won't stay here."
"Just wait until the test results come out, just notify me."
Wang Donglai did not mention what would happen if there were any problems.
Pan Hong also understood the implication of Wang Donglai's words.
A trace of regret and reluctance appeared on his face, and he spoke out, "Academician Wang, do you know what I want to do here?"
Wang Donglai shook his head and asked, "What?"
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"I want to keep Academician Wang here, I really don't want Academician Wang to leave."
"How great would it be if Academician Wang could stay here!"
Pan Hong's tone was filled with deep regret and pity.
"Haha, Academician Pan has won the award."
"We are a brick of scientific research, and we can move wherever we need it."
"These achievements are not all my contributions, but also the factors that everyone works hard together."
"I believe that even without me, we will be able to break through this technology sooner or later, but it is just a matter of time."
Pan Hong sometimes feels strange that Wang Donglai is not like a young and successful genius at all.
I don't look like a student who came out of a rural area in poverty-stricken mountainous areas.
In Wang Donglai, he could always feel a strange calm and calm mind, as if no matter how big a thing is, it is nothing to him.
Whether it is dealing with people or facing various major events, Wang Donglai does not show his identity at all. "Maybe, there are geniuses in this world!"
In the end, Pan Hong could only use this excuse to explain.
It is precisely the confident calmness and indifference that Wang Donglai showed that Pan Hong trusted Wang Donglai more.
"Academician Wang, the test results may not take three days to come out."
"At that time, the test results will come out. Do Academician Wang have any plans?"
Pan Hong asked curiously.
"Academician Pan, if the test results are no different from the design plan, it means that we have overcome the limits of quantum computers and become the world's leading level."
"At that time, as long as we do not lose face to our country and stick to our bottom line, that's fine."
"As for holding press conferences, accepting interviews, etc., it will be left to Academician Pan, I won't participate in these."
"Academician Pan, you also know that I have other projects to be busy with."
Wang Donglai had already thought about this and said it all without hesitation.
Hearing Wang Donglai's words, Pan Hong subconsciously wanted to refuse and persuade Wang Donglai again.
"Academician Pan, you don't have to persuade me anymore. This matter is decided!"
Wang Donglai said firmly.
"I prefer to do scientific research and other work. I am not good at press conferences and interviews, so I'm not good at it, so I'm sorry for Academician Pan."
Looking at Wang Donglai's extremely serious look, Pan Hong could see that this was a truth from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay, let me leave these things, and the press conference will be placed in Luzhou. After all, the research institute is here, so it is difficult to switch to other places."
"However, Academician Wang can rest assured that it should be your honor, and it will definitely be yours!"
Pan Hong promised Wang Donglai with great firmness.
Wang Donglai nodded and said nothing.
…
Three days later.
Luzhou Institute of Quantum Information.
In the huge conference room, there was joy and a smile on everyone's faces.
Because the test results have come out.
Although it has not been fully announced, judging from some information about the scale claws, the test scores this time should be quite good.
Especially, the people who knew that they would attend this meeting were the president of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, as well as the general manager of Luzhou University, which further confirmed this.
Two pm.
Several leaders appeared in the conference room.
Pan Hong looked joyous, full of energy, bright eyes and refreshed.
"Dear leaders, classmates, and colleagues, I am very happy to stand here today..."
"The scientific research project we are carrying out is of great practical significance. Once it is implemented, it will have a huge impact on the entire society."
"Quantum computers are 10^24 times faster than traditional computers. It takes 300 big trees to decompose a classic computer. It takes 150,000 years, and quantum computers only take one second."
"Traditional silicon-based chips have physical limits, but qubits realize parallel computing through superposition states, breaking the linear growth limit of the von Neumann architecture."
"Quantum simulation can accurately simulate molecular dynamics and accelerate the development of new drugs..."
"Quantum radar can detect targets with a reflection cross-section of 0.01m in stealth fighter jets, and its anti-interference ability is increased by 100 times..."
"Quantum computers can simulate high-temperature superconducting materials, pushing critical temperatures from -1 96℃ to -70℃... Simulating the gravitational waveform of black holes, the calculation accuracy is 3 orders of magnitude higher than that of classical methods..."
"The importance of quantum computers is not only in their technological breakthroughs, but also in their ability to reconstruct the underlying logic of human problems. From microscopic particle simulation to the evolution of macroscopic civilization, quantum computers have become the core engine that crosses the 'classic-quantum' gap. Its strategic value is comparable to nuclear energy and aerospace technology in the 20th century, and it is even more important! "
"These words were not what I said, but what Academician Wang said when he was talking to me. I agreed, so I remembered them."
"At that time, Academician Wang said that he wanted to design a quantum computer that could manipulate one hundred superconducting qubits, which was twelve times better than the quantum computer announced by the Bald Eagle Federation. At that time, I thought Academician Wang might be talking big."
"But later I realized that I underestimated Academician Wang."
"In just a few days, Academician Wang came up with a design plan for thirty qubits. I was very satisfied, but Academician Wang said it was not qualified, and I realized that Academician Wang was serious."
"So, the above dialogue was created."
"The importance of quantum computers is more important than all of us imagined."
"Fortunately, we have a talented scientist like Academician Wang!"
"Now, I will announce good news!"
At this point, Pan Hong paused and swept his eyes over everyone present.
"After experiments, we have successfully developed a quantum computer that can deeply manipulate one hundred superconducting qubits, and successfully built the world's first quantum computing platform and achieved quantum hegemony!"
When Pan Hong said this, everyone in the entire conference room became extremely excited.
The applause was thunderous and it lasted for a long time. (This chapter ends)
