Chapter 1209 Quantum Hegemony

Even after a month of breakthroughs in quantum computer technology, Professor Alik of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has not abandoned his original views.

It's not that he doesn't believe in the capabilities of the ark.

It's just inconceivable to him that there's a slight possibility that quantum bits can be over 100 without mastering quantum storage technology.

Now Google's approach is to start with the software, which is the quantum annealing algorithm of the recent special fire.

Yet even bringing together the best brains in the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory can come up with a solution that only puts this experimental quantum computer at 80-90 quantum bits.

As for 524…

This is so science fiction.

He preferred to think of the matter as a political fraud, after all, that the idiots in Washington, D.C., were not the first countries in the third world to blackmail them with something strange.

Clearly, China is pressuring the International Information System Security Certification Coalition to promote their quantum encryption algorithms and quantum optical cables by demonstrating quantum hegemony.

After all, without quantum computer technology, whether it be quantum encryption algorithms or quantum communication technologies, there is in fact no need at all.

With the slowness of traditional calculations, even if it continues to grow, it will take a century to pry into the Fed's vault.

However, quantum computers are different.

The computational power of exponential growth is something that people would be afraid of...

As usual, breakfast was brought to the lab, and Professor Alik, sitting at his desk, was about to open his e-mail to see if there was a new invitation to review the manuscript.

At this point, his colleague Dr. Cecil was walking back from the coffee machine with two cups of coffee and putting one of them on his desk.

“Would you like a coffee? ”

“Thanks.”

“You're welcome... By the way, today seems like the completion date of Starsea One, are you paying attention to this? ”

“I've been paying attention, but their performance has disappointed me a little," Professor Arica said, slowly sipping at the temperature, "and there doesn't seem to be any intention of expressing an opinion on the matter at the Jinling Institute of Higher Studies, except for that paper of an overview nature, which was followed by a paper on that quantum computer. ”

If Dr. Cecil thinks about it, he's downstairs.

“Well... it's kind of weird. ”

Professor Arica looked at him and said, "Do you have any news? ”

“I don't know if it counts, but I saw it on their official website," Dr. Cecil thought, continuing, "They say they intend to prove the arithmetic power of Starsea One by calculating the circumference rate. ”

Take a nice sip of coffee and Arica laughs.

“Oh, how many decimal places are they going to count after? ”

“Looks like ten hundred directions. ”

The moment I heard this, Alik, who hadn't swallowed a bite of coffee, almost didn't just spit it out.

Ten hundred directions?!

This is bullshit. No drafts!

“Count it next year! ”

Coldly, Alik put the coffee cup aside, grabbed the mouse and turned off the mailbox and opened the browser.

Originally he didn't really care about the color-cutting ceremony of Star Sea One.

But it was unexpected that they had prepared such an interesting event for the cutting ceremony.

He thought the Chinese would wear this "Emperor's New Clothes" forever, but he didn't expect them to believe it until the end of the day.

A hundred times after the decimal point?

Oh!

But okay, since they jumped out on their own initiative, don't blame him for not showing mercy in the face.

D-Wave3X is almost done, if those Chinese think they just need to count a trillion or so more digits forward, and make up some data to fool around...

He'll let them know the price of lying.

For D-Wave3X, the 3.14X10 ^ 100 bit after the circumference decimal point may not be realistic in a short period of time, but refreshing the record to 3.14X10 ^ 15 bit is fine.

Yet when Alik opens his browser with hesitation, and his gaze is on the screen, the whole person is there.

He hasn't even logged into Starry Sky Technologies.

Just a few eye-catching headline titles will appear at the top of the news bar in the most eye-catching form:

[Computer of the times! Starsea One is Guinness certified to refresh the Circumference Rate Record!

- The Los Angeles Journal.

Alik: “???? ”

……

Obviously Alik wasn't the only one who was scared by the news.

Almost shortly after Guinness World Records recorded this new record, discussions on Starsea One have been screened on Facebook, Twitter communities.

[Isn't Google also studying quantum computers? Why is it not working?!

[I was disappointed in the White House this time, even when we were facing the Soviet Union, we still had the upper hand! Now, however, the controlled fusion, then the Moon Space Station… we seem to have been overtaken with ease.

[Approving the acquisition of SubCom by East Asia Communications is the stupidest decision! That's how we lose the advantage in the pacification over and over again!

It's not just Starsea One that counts the circumference to 3.14x10 ^ 100 decimal places, but it actually takes less than a minute to do it!

What does that mean?

It's hard to describe.

But with an intuitive comparison, it is possible to fully understand how exaggerated this terrible computational power really is.

It took Google engineers 121 days to complete the 3.14X10 ^ 13 bit record with 25 virtual machines, not to mention with an algorithm that was optimized specifically to calculate the circumference rate!

If it's just the circumference rate, it's not that simple, obviously.

Soon, a professor of information engineering from Massachusetts Polytechnic, named Yodrifen, came forward and presented his views on the matter on his personal blog.

Or a warning to the authorities.

With today's computer technology, calculating the circumference rate to 3.14X10 ^ 100 bits is almost impossible to complete. Even with the latest dragon-tone carbon-based chip, you need a chassis the size of the White House, and a team of at least ten professionals to design a specially tailored algorithm for it, and watch it count for a hundred years or even 200 years.

[If it's a Summit supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, I'm sorry to tell you, it may have to start from when we were still grabbing land from the Neanderthals, until I published this blog, and it almost took me a few days to finish what Starsea One did in a minute.

[I must remind our Ministry of Defence experts, as well as information security advisers, that although the cold war era has long passed, new crises have emerged.

[Quantum hegemony will be something scarier and more deterrent than nuclear hegemony, and with the powerful information processing power of quantum computers, those who control them may need only a few small satellites or drones at height, or a bought cleaner, to make the civilization that we spent more than a century building collapse overnight.

A nuclear warhead? Intercontinental missiles? Perhaps we have the ability to counteract physically, but we must also allow them to fly smoothly out of the missile wells.
