Galaxy Technology Empire

September 1st.

Keelung is actually one of the two core cities of the Galaxy Consortium. Compared with Taipei, which has a regional name, Huang Haojie prefers the name Keelung. The local connotation of prosperous business is more profound.

Ziwei Beifu is the residence of the Huang family in Keelung, and it is also one of the main residences of Huang Haojie when he comes to Dongdao.

Huang Junjie has now officially retired behind the scenes, and his whereabouts have become unpredictable. He often uses bionic robots to appear in various groups, but which one is the real person, except Zhong and his wife Guo Ting, no one else knows.

Underground in Ziwei Beppu is also a secret research institute with a huge space.

Looking at the quantum chip in his hand, Huang Haojie frowned: "Zhong, record the experimental results and destroy these failed products."

[Okay, Master! ]

A dozen robots acting as Huang Junjie's assistants, under Zhong's command, cleaned the laboratory in an orderly manner.

He sat on a chair with his head propped up on one hand, quietly looking at the data and technology on the holographic display. The difficulty of quantum chips was beyond his imagination.

Don't look at Google, Microsoft, and even domestic research institutes who have announced the progress of their quantum chips. How many qubits have been exceeded today and how many qubits have been exceeded tomorrow. In fact, these are laboratory products and are not capable of large-scale promotion. Practicality.

Moreover, current quantum chips cannot completely replace traditional electronic chips. Quantum chip technology is still far away from us. It will take at least 10 years to commercialize semiconductor quantum computing.

Currently, institutions around the world that have made certain achievements in quantum chip technology research are: Sunland IT giant Fujitsu’s Digital Annealer computing chip, and Intel’s silicon spin qubit technology , with Dongtang San quantum dot semiconductor technology.

Quantum computing is important because of its ability to quickly solve "human-scale" problems that have been difficult to solve using traditional computing architectures in the past.

For example, finding a cure for cancer and better personalized medical methods will play an extremely important role not only in the energy field, but also in the current most popular AI simulation, and even in uncovering more secrets of the universe.

Quantum physical phenomena, which are the basis of quantum computing, are actually universal physical phenomena in nature and can appear in many different materials, chemicals or natural environments.

Therefore, there is more than one way to achieve it. Just like the research scope of quantum computing has advanced from superconducting quantum to optical quantum, and even semiconductor quantum based on digital annealing technology has been mass-produced.

In other words, as long as the phenomena caused by the material can be observed to have quantum physical characteristics, it may be possible to use them for calculations.

However, after nearly 20 years of development, the commercialization of quantum computing with superconducting technology as the core is still very limited in terms of practical application due to insufficient maturity of the software ecosystem and extremely high difficulty in mass production.

Although it is predicted who will control quantum hegemony based on the current qubit scale of each company, in fact, the biggest limitation of quantum computing is not the lack of computing power, but the difficulty in popularizing it, making it difficult for ecological development to move forward effectively.

Also because of the current limitations of quantum computing, if existing semiconductor production technology can be used to solve the problems of scale expansion and mass production of quantum computing chips.

Then, quantum chips may be able to enter general computing applications earlier than expected, accelerate the maturity of related ecosystems, and become the computing core including PCs, smart homes, cars, and even various Internet-connected devices, and completely change human life.

In fact, Galaxy Technology's superconducting quantum chip is close to the practical stage. After all, Galaxy Technology has room-temperature superconductors, which can get rid of the huge cooling structure required by superconducting quantum chips.

But being close to practical means that it is not really ready for use yet.

Huang Haojie and the Quantum Computer Research Institute of Galaxy Technology have been considering how to smoothly transition electronic computers to quantum computers. If they were to tear everything down and start over, the price would undoubtedly be unbearable.

The vast majority of quantum computers produced by Galaxy Technology are now used in the field of scientific research. Without a complete ecosystem, it is really difficult for quantum computers to be accepted by the public.

After all, the performance of electronic computers is now very powerful, and the performance of personal mobile terminals or computers has obvious overperformance.

The superconducting electronic computers used by Galaxy Technology are even more powerful, so there is very little demand for quantum chips in the civilian field.

However, based on the idea of ​​​​technological reserves, Galaxy Technology has invested huge efforts in developing quantum chips. At present, quantum chips can already integrate about 6 million qubits.

This level of quantum chip technology is already unique in the world. You must know that Intel has only integrated 1024 qubits. The two are not at the same level at all.

And Galaxy Technology doesn't bother to publish papers all day long, or announce some quantum supremacy. The outside world is confused about Galaxy Technology's various technologies.

After all, even if the scientific researchers of Galaxy Technology publish papers, practical technologies are usually published in internal journals, while some theoretical papers are published in Galaxy Science Journals.

Even if the Galaxy Science Journal is published, this journal is only a Chinese journal and does not have a foreign language version. This is really unfriendly to many foreign scholars.

But Galaxy Technology doesn’t care about this. I can understand it myself. As for whether people from other countries can understand it, it’s none of my business!

Therefore, in order to understand the scientific and technological information of Galaxy Technology, countries such as Mi Lijia have to hire a large number of people who can speak Chinese to translate these papers.

Currently, the Quantum Computer Research Institute of Galaxy Technology is working on improving the quantum computer ecosystem and studying how to achieve seamless connection between electronic computers and quantum computers.

Huang Haojie is currently studying the universal communication problem between electronic computers and quantum computers. His idea is similar to a transcoder (data exchanger), coupled with a limiter and the like.

The data exchanger can realize the interaction between quantum data and electronic data. As for the role of the limiter, it is to prevent the powerful quantum computer from exchanging data due to excessive exchange, which may cause the electronic computer to be unable to bear it, thereby causing the electronic computer to fail. Stuttering or crashing.

But it is this data exchanger that leaves Huang Haojie and the Quantum Computer Research Institute at a loss. It is not that it cannot be made, but that it will be very large and the cost will be very high after it is made.

The cost-effectiveness is too low and is not suitable for promotion in the civilian field. Now we can only slowly find ways to reduce the size and cost of the data switch, otherwise it will not be considered for civilian use.

[Owner! 18:20 You still need to attend a small banquet, don’t forget it! ]

Huang Junjie looked at the time and found that it was already 5:11 in the evening.

"Get me some hot water and a set of casual clothes."

[almost done. ]

After taking the elevator back to the ground, hot water and clothes were ready in Ziwei Befu.

After Huang Junjie took a shower, he put on casual clothes and went to the living room in front.
