Reborn Technology Scholar

While everyone was still immersed in the Nobel Prize, Qin Yuanqing had quietly arrived in Anhui Province. The purpose of his trip was exactly that - quantum computer.

To put it simply, a quantum computer is a type of physical device that follows the laws of quantum mechanics to perform high-speed mathematical and logical operations, and to store and process quantum information.

From 1969, Stephen Wisner first proposed "computing equipment based on quantum mechanics" to 1981, when physicist Feynman introduced quantum computing. As the miniaturization of semiconductors reached its limit, when the size of the circuit components of the chip

When reduced to the nanometer scale, quantum mechanical effects will end the current Moore's Law. Therefore, in a famous speech in 1982, Feynman proposed the idea of ​​using quantum systems to achieve universal calculations. Feynman thought at that time that if a computer composed of a quantum system was used,

To simulate quantum phenomena, the computing time can be greatly reduced, and the concept of quantum computers was born.

After decades of development, quantum computing has basically matured in theory, laying the foundation for the birth of quantum computers. In May of this year, Professor Pan Jianwei of the University of Science and Technology of China announced that in the optical system, the research team achieved the basis of ten-photon entanglement for the first time in 2016.

On, high-quality quantum dot single-photon sources were used to build the world's first single-photon quantum computer that surpassed early classical computers.

Although quantum computers have just been born and their performance is not very good, there is no doubt that it has unparalleled advantages. In theory, its computing speed is far higher than that of ordinary computers.

Generally speaking, a problem that takes ten years to solve with an ordinary computer may only take one day to solve using a quantum computer, or even less time.

Of course, in Qin Yuanqing's eyes, the quantum computer at the University of Science and Technology of China is not actually a quantum computer in the true sense. There has not yet been a true quantum computer in the world.

But there is no doubt that the quantum computer at the University of Science and Technology of China has given China a slight advantage in the research and development of quantum computers.

Everyone knows that quantum computers have a vast market, and it is no exaggeration to be hailed as a cross-era product. Once it is successfully developed and successfully implemented for commercial or civilian use, the economic output value it will create will be an inestimable value.

Therefore, very early on, many scientific research units and computer giants invested in research and development in this field. Technology giants such as BIM and Google in the United States have invested in it for twenty or more than ten years. In China,

, China's private enterprises simply stay away from it. The reason is very simple. Private enterprises feel that investing such a large amount of money in the research and development of quantum computers involves a large investment, a long cycle, and high risks. Taking huge risks, it is better to wait for European and American giants to develop quantum computers.

, just introduce it again.

Therefore, China’s quantum computer also falls on the country.

At the beginning of the millennium, China organized a small group of scientists to work on the research and development of quantum computers. However, at that time, China's technological level was far behind the world's top level, and neither hardware nor software could support the research and development of quantum computers. Until 2008

After that, China's chip technology jumped to a higher level, and the research and development of quantum computers made some gratifying progress.

Continuously increasing investment, the first quantum computer was finally born at the University of Science and Technology of China. Of course, many people overseas do not admit that this quantum computer is a real quantum computer, especially BIM in the United States, and even more so Google, because the United States is

Huge amounts of money have also been invested in the field of quantum computers. They have always been in the first echelon in the field of quantum computers. Many people believe that quantum computers will be born in the United States first. But now China has taken the lead in extracting the first drop of blood. This is simply

It was this handsome young man from America who pursued a goddess hard, but he saw the goddess slept with this poor loser from China and took away the first drop of blood.

Therefore, during this period, BIM, Google, etc. have continued to increase their investment, and good news comes out every other month, which is encouraging.

"Academician Qin, welcome to Anhui Province!" Professor Pan and the President of the University of Science and Technology of China went to the airport to greet Qin Yuanqing in person.

This was the first time Qin Yuanqing arrived in Anhui Province.

"Professor Pan, Principal Bao!" Qin Yuanqing said with a smile. Although Qin Yuanqing came to Anhui Province for the first time, he knew both Professor Pan and Principal Bao.

After getting in the car, Professor Pan directly introduced the situation of quantum computers: "Now we have analyzed it and found that the computing speed of quantum computers is mainly restricted by two aspects. On the one hand, it is the semiconductor quantum chip, and on the other hand, it is the algorithm."

Qin Yuanqing nodded slightly. This is also the core of quantum computers, so this year, the 'semiconductor quantum chip' project is listed as one of this year's key national research and development projects.

National key R&D projects refer to major social welfare research related to the national economy and people's livelihood, as well as major scientific and technological issues related to the core competitiveness of industries, overall independent innovation capabilities and national security, and technologies that break through major areas of national economic and social development.

bottleneck.

Every achievement is related to the development of the national economy and national security and development.

On average, such national key R&D projects will only increase by five to ten a year. In terms of scientific research funding, the scientific research funding for any project starts at 50 million, with no upper limit!

Because behind this, there is the support of national power. This time, the Ministry of Science and Technology has listed "semiconductor quantum chips" as one of the national key research and development projects, which is enough to show its determination to develop and improve quantum computers.

"Academician Qin, you are an expert in chips and computer algorithms, and are recognized as the number one person in China in the industry. We really have no choice, so we asked our superiors for help and invited you to come and help." Professor Pan said slightly apologetically.

Professor Pan’s words are not unfounded. Qin Yuanqing is recognized as the world’s number one mathematician and the creator of the computer Chinese language. Every time a class is held in Shuimu, countless well-known scholars sit down and listen carefully.

Fan Jingqing, Yangtze Scholars, and even academicians only want to learn computer Chinese. After all, although they have the materials, how can they compare to the creator's personal explanation.

As for the chip field, although no one abroad knows about Qin Yuanqing's achievements in the chip field, as long as his position reaches a certain level in China, everyone knows that Qin Yuanqing's achievements in the chip field are the number one in China.

Take a look at Huaxin Technology. Ever since Mr. Yu left Warwick and founded Huaxin Technology to engage in semiconductor manufacturing, in just five years it has become the number one chip manufacturing company in China. It has mastered the 7-nanometer process technology and can not only provide enterprises with

Chip OEM can also design and manufacture chips and provide chip solutions to enterprises.

Behind Huaxin Technology, it is the great god Qin Yuanqing who sits and provides technical strength. Therefore, some well-known researchers clearly realize that Qin Yuanqing is the number one person in Huaxia Chip.

"Professor Pan liked it immediately." Qin Yuanqing smiled and said: "You have been engaged in quantum computers for nearly twenty years, and you have overcome countless difficulties to get to where you are today, and you have won honors for China's quantum computers. I admire this very much."

"And President Bao, I also admire the achievements of the University of Science and Technology of China in these years." Qin Yuanqing said: "But President Bao, please strongly support the Thirty Schools Alliance! Promote the establishment of the Thirty Schools Alliance!"

"Principal Qin, this is the duty of the University of Science and Technology of China!" said Principal Bao.

This time, President Bao personally met Professor Pan to meet him at the airport. In addition to supporting the quantum computer project because of Qin Yuanqing’s status as an academician, another very important thing is the thirty-school alliance.

The Thirty Schools Alliance is a prestigious school alliance promoted by General Qin Yuanqing after he took over Shuimu. It is to form the Thirty Famous Schools Alliance in China. The purpose of this alliance is not only to be the first-class universities in China, but also to directly target the world's first-class universities.

University.

Principal Bao calls Qin Yuanqing President Qin instead of Academician Qin, not because Qin Yuanqing is the executive vice president of Shuimu, but because Qin Yuanqing has completed the process and taking over Shuimu is a certainty.

Others don't know this news, but people at Principal Bao's level know it very well.

Qin Yuanqing came here this time to promote the birth of a real quantum computer. After all, he also hopes that China can truly master quantum computer technology and contribute to China becoming a world-class power. On the other hand, he is here to win the support of the University of Science and Technology of China and support the 30th School.

The establishment of the alliance!

"According to intelligence, how far is the gap between China's quantum chip or quantum computer research and development and that of the United States?" Qin Yuanqing asked seriously.

Professor Pan said: "The gap is huge!"

"Especially in the direction of superconducting semiconductor chips, we are far behind the United States. Because of this, we focus our research on semiconductor quantum chips, hoping to achieve overtaking in corners!" Professor Pan told the truth without any concealment.

, although he was the first to announce the development of the world's first quantum computer, his family knew about their own affairs, and some of them deliberately made it disgusting to the United States because they saw that the United States' quantum computer would be born soon.

"But there are still many technical problems that need to be solved urgently on semiconductor quantum chips. Therefore, it is not that difficult to successfully make a quantum computer with computing power far exceeding that of existing supercomputers before the United States does!" Pan

The professor said.

"As for algorithms, they are evenly matched among the best in the world. However, there are many problems." Professor Pan is still very confident about algorithms. After all, we have to find the second Qin Yuanqing in this world.

It’s so difficult, so difficult, almost impossible!

This is the current situation in scientific research in the world. China and the United States both belong to the first echelon, and each has its own advantages. The United States is moving forward hard and trying to make breakthroughs, while China is running and getting closer to China bit by bit.

The gap between the United States and the United States even exceeds that of the United States in many scientific research fields.
