Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

A few days later.

Lv Yongchang raised his hand and gently rubbed his brow.

Perhaps because of the system, after rebirth, he felt that his thinking ability was constantly improving.

Questions that took a long time to think about in the previous life can now be answered in just a few seconds.

The most direct manifestation of the improvement of thinking ability is its learning ability.

It only took him a few days to master the latest quantum computer technology from scratch.

In addition to the improvement of thinking ability, he noticed another obvious change.

His physical fitness was slowly improving.

In the previous life, he could not stay up late for so many days in a row.

As for the benefits... After staying up late for several days in a row, he finally had some ideas.

No wonder the system compares quantum computer technology to the cradle of artificial intelligence.

The difference between quantum computers and ordinary computers is not just the difference in computing power.

Although computing power plays a vital role in the process of nurturing artificial intelligence, it is definitely not the key factor.

More importantly, the information processed in quantum computers presents a quantum state.

Quantum has a characteristic called superposition.

Assuming there are state A and state B, the superposition state is the superposition of the two. In binary terms, it means that 0 and 1 are represented at the same time.

This is impossible for ordinary binary computers.

In ordinary computers, there will always be only two options, 0 or 1, which greatly limits its computing power and learning ability.

This is just the situation where two quanta are in superposition.

If the number of quanta is increased to 5, then it contains the superposition of all numbers from 00000-11111 (binary).

If it continues to increase...

And the correct answer is in this series of possibilities.

As for how to get the correct answer...

Through specific quantum algorithms, let them exert their physical properties and exit the superposition state according to the designed algorithm.

After exiting the superposition state, some quanta become 0, some become 1, and the final observed 01010 or other combinations are the calculation results.

This is also more in line with the principle of consciousness generation-the collapse of quantum states caused by observation produces human consciousness.

In summary, true artificial intelligence will only appear on computers with quantum computing capabilities.

Lv Yongchang tapped his fingers unconsciously on the desk in front of him.

There are currently three types of quantum computer architectures.

Superconducting circuits, semiconductor quantum wafers, and ion traps.

The most promising is the superconducting circuit quantum computer.

It achieves the largest number of high-fidelity quantum bits and has good scalability.

But the defects are also obvious. The difficulty of circuit design increases with the number of bits.

Semiconductor quantum wafers, once the sample wafer is realized in the laboratory, it can quickly start large-scale industrial production.

As for ion trap quantum computers... the fidelity is the highest among the three, but the volume is huge.

After a brief thought, Lv Yongchang took the lead in ruling out semiconductor quantum computers.

He doesn't need large-scale industrial production now.

As for ion trap computers, the overly large volume made Lv Yongchang sigh slightly.

In the end, there was only one option left in front of him.

Superconducting circuit quantum computer.

Room-temperature superconductor technology has been broken through, and now the only problem in front of him is the design of superconducting circuits.

…

One week later.

Lv Yongchang slowly raised his head from the computer screen and exhaled a long breath.

The design was finally done.

"Yutong, call Fang Xu for me and tell him I have something to talk to him about."

Lv Yongchang's eyes stayed on the design drawing, and he subconsciously called out the name from his previous life.

Su Yutong, who was studying hard, trembled slightly.

The next moment, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Okay, Professor Lu."

...

Soon, Fang Xu pushed open the office door with a confused look on his face.

"Yongchang? What do you want to talk to me about?"

Fang Xu sat down on the chair in front of the desk while talking: "I told you in advance that there is no one in our laboratory who knows about quantum computers."

Lv Yongchang ignored Fang Xu's words, but reached out and pulled out a USB flash drive from the computer and handed it to Fang Xu.

Fang Xu took the USB drive with a puzzled look on his face: "What is this? Did you write a paper?"

"..."Lv Yongchang looked at Fang Xu in front of him with a frown, "Why would I write a paper for no reason?"

"This is the architecture diagram of a superconducting quantum computer. I want you to help me report it to the chairman of the parliament."

"I want to build a quantum supercomputing center next to the laboratory."

Fang Xu: "......???"

"Wait, wait!" Fang Xu obviously couldn't accept what Lv Yongchang said.

He looked at the USB drive in his hand with a questioning look, and then looked at Lv Yongchang with a calm expression: "How much time has it been?"

"At most, it's only about ten days. You just gave me a diagram of the architecture of a quantum supercomputing center?"

As he said that, Fang Xu grabbed a book from the side and glanced at it casually.

"What is a quantum computer"

A drop of cold sweat slowly slid down Fang Xu's forehead: "Brother, if I'm not mistaken, you should have known nothing about quantum computers ten days ago, right?"

"Yes." Lu Yongchang nodded calmly, "Isn't it ten days?"

Fang Xu: "???"

"Am I abnormal or are you abnormal..."

"You mastered quantum computer technology in ten days?"

"Four days to be exact. It took me a week to build the blueprint."

Facing Lu Yongchang's response, Fang Xu slapped his smooth forehead.

"Brother, you are my brother!"

"Have you verified this thing?"

"A supercomputing center costs a lot of money. If something happens, how are you going to explain to the Chairman?"

Lu Yongchang glanced at Fang Xu with a strange look on his face: "Aren't you asked to report for me?"

Fang Xu: "???"

Seeing Fang Xu's expression as if he had eaten shit, Lu Yongchang couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."

"After reporting it, you can ask the chairman of the council to find someone to verify it."

"I have only one request. I need to see this supercomputing center in the shortest possible time."

"This is related to the future of Xia Country!"

Fang Xu took a deep look at Lu Yongchang and shook his head helplessly: "Okay, I'll just run an errand for you."

Seeing Fang Xu turn around and prepare to leave the office, Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment and said again: "By the way, help me find some people in the field of artificial intelligence, who are more reliable."

After speaking, Lu Yongchang turned to Su Yutong and said, "Yu Tong, help me find some of the latest research results on artificial intelligence."
