Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

On the first day of April, a major event took place in the computer industry.

The Quantum Computer Research Team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences suddenly announced that significant progress had been made in research on quantum computers! The head of the research team claimed that they had developed a quantum computer processor based on carbon-based semiconductor technology, which would be unprecedented and groundbreaking compared to other research findings in the current quantum computer field.

According to the source, the processor has mainly applied some of the characteristics of Mayora naphymium, and the exhibited performance has now reached 90 quantum bits.

When it happened, a lot of research dogs working in integrated circuit design and IT research just ended their weekend vacation and came to work with a sleepy eye.

When they saw the message through various channels, a lot of people looked at the calendar subconsciously and confirmed that today was not the fourth day before they had a surprising look on their face.

90 quantum bits of quantum computer!

What the hell is this?

After learning about the situation, almost all those who were engaged in research in the relevant fields, just a little bit on the side, started searching the database wildly for relevant research results.

However, many people were disappointed that they could not find a paper on "90 Quantum Bits” other than that piece of news.

Don't even say it's a paper.

Even this research team seems to have jumped out of stone, something that many people have never heard of before. Apart from the academic leader, who was a little bit of a starter, who sent several papers in the field of quantum computing, others wanted to rush to find several areas where they could do it.

This feeling is like a “big brother" of LV5 in a new village, with a group of adorable newcomers less than LV3 pulling a team, and then blowing up LV10's elite BOSS.

This metaphor may be inappropriate, but it is definitely enough.

A similar situation is not unheard of, and no matter which line may occasionally occur, there has been an astonishing story.

But even so, this time it was a little too sudden.

The research team merely claimed to have done so, but did not produce any visible results.

However, even with so many doubts, it is not always arbitrary for everyone to assume that the matter is false.

After all, it is a team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and it also receives funding for key national scientific research projects, and the consequences of falsifying results may be worse than without results.

It is precisely for this reason that, at one time or another, academia and industry disagree about the results declared by the Chinese Academy.

In a forum at a prestigious university in the country, engineering dogs specializing in integrated circuit design, because the news is about to break their heads.

[Fake it! Ninety quantum bits, or standard quantum computers with quantum door circuits, have to step on Google's quantum annealing algorithm. I think most of them are cheating again!

[Impossible, this is the research team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and I think it's still a major national research project.

[What happened to the key research projects? Has it been 20 years since Han Xin's incident? You have such a bad memory!

[Can you not mention that?

[Hey, if only our scientists could be as realistic as Lu Academicians.

[There are funds all over the world, it's not just us! It's good enough to feed 1.5 billion people!

In order to prevent the situation from spinning out of control, forum administrators are not allowed to come forward and start limiting the topic.

The quarrel that took place in the forum was only a microcosm of the discussion on the topic throughout the network.

Similar arguments do not just occur in a college forum, from the neck to the penguin colony, and people seem to be able to see people talking about it anywhere.

In addition to these outsiders' voices, similar arguments have arisen in the field of technology.

However, the sounds of these controversies are relatively rational, relatively professional, and concentrated primarily in a realistic sense.

For example, at a recent Internet Security Summit, experts from the Information Security Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences suggested that the growing number of quantum computers could pose a threat to information security and must be addressed in advance.

A number of constructive suggestions were made during the discussion on this topic.

And what has been repeatedly mentioned is exactly what the Ark said in the letter sent to Chang 'an Street —— replacing a more secure encryption algorithm.

Meanwhile, across the Pacific.

Nadra sits in the CEO's office in the Microsoft headquarters building, looking at her eyebrows and looking closely at the report in hand.

The quantum computer thing boiled down on the Internet, not only in China, but also in North America.

The vast majority of people think that the probability of this is either an oolong or an artificial forgery.

But others can think so simply that Nadra, Microsoft CEO, is afraid to take it lightly.

So far, that country on the other side of the Pacific has done too many miracles to impress him.

At this point, the office door opened and a skinny man walked in.

It would come as a surprise if someone was standing here doing research on the direction of quantum computing.

This man is not someone else, he is the director of the Lockheed Martin Quantum Computing Center… or the former director, Professor Smitt.

At present, it is clear that Professor Smitt is working for Microsoft, which is nothing strange in itself, except that there is not a single bit of information in the industry about it.

“You wanted to see me? ”

“Yes,” put down the report in hand, and Nadra looked at Professor Smitt standing at the door and said, "What do you think of that quantum computer at the Chinese Academy of Sciences lately? ”

“The 90 quantum bits one?” With a hint of ridicule on his face, Professor Smitt pushed down his glasses and, without courtesy, said, "They live in dreams. ”

Upon hearing this, Nadra raised her eyebrows gently upward.

“Oh?”

Looking at the look on Nadra's face, Professor Smitt continued in an unquestionable tone.

“No one knows more about the Mayoral Naphemites technology route than we do, and in this direction we are at the forefront of the world, where 90 quantum bits are simply not possible with current technology. This is no longer a technical bottleneck, but a theoretical bottleneck! If they do, then we can at least see how they solve the quantum entanglement collapse at the theoretical level. ”

This is not a problem that can be solved simply by reducing noise.

If there was such a good solution, the subject would not have gone so slowly.

Nadra frowned.

“You mean... they're bragging? ”

“Probably so! ”

Looking at Professor Smitt's definitive expression on his face, Nadra, while relieved, felt that the worry that was on her mind could not be completely let go.

After Professor Smitt's departure, he went over the report in his hand almost obsessively, in particular the list of people from the research team that his men had spent nine bulls and two tigers collecting and tried to find a familiar name on it.

But he checked every letter, and he didn't find the name that changed the color of Silicon Valley.

Is it really a bluff?

Looking at the sky outside the office window, Nadra suddenly got a little confused.

Yet he had a hunch in the middle.

Every choice you make next may affect Microsoft's future in this competition about quantum computers…
