Voyage of the Stars

If there is no foundation, the so-called learning will take at least a hundred years. Fortunately, most of the people on the Tianqin are from a technical background, and now the learning is equivalent to reviewing the old and learning the new.

Time passed slowly in learning and researching the third-generation warp engine technology.

At this moment, the main body of human civilization, dozens of light years away, is analyzing another technological route to enrich the entire civilization database.

That is to buy ternary computer technology from the dynamic graph civilization. At that time, humans paid for their own universal quantum computer technology that had also developed to the fourth-level civilization level. Originally, the dynamic graph civilization was unwilling to change, but after learning that humans had developed powerful strong artificial intelligence with the same quantum computer technology, they successfully completed the transaction.

Therefore, it is a technology transaction and a technology exchange, which belongs to mutual exchange. And this kind of technology exchange is not just exchanging the latest technology of each other, but basically including the development history of their own technology in the scope of exchange.

In a sense, such an exchange is definitely a win-win situation, which can promote the technological development of both sides.

And now the scientists here in the main human civilization are interpreting and studying the so-called ternary computer.

The ternary computer technology of the dynamic graph civilization belongs to the photon computer route, which is the same technical route as the Nell civilization, but the Nell civilization is binary and not as advanced as the current dynamic graph civilization.

In general, the dynamic graph civilization has developed to the present, and their ternary computers have been advanced to the point where the triplet state of particles with spin 1 is applied to them.

In the eyes of humans, this is undoubtedly an extremely advanced technology that even breaks the cognition of human scientists about photons.

The triplet state is the quantum state of a system with spin 1, with three allowed spin quantities, namely -1, 0, and 1. The dynamic graph civilization has used this to develop their photon computers to the current level.

This is indeed a technical direction that humans can't imagine, because in the human knowledge system, the photon spin quantum number is 1, and according to the angular momentum theory, it should have projections in three directions, namely -1, 0, and 1, and the three states are mutually orthogonal, but in actual application, photons only have two polarization states.

Now the dynamic image civilization can actually use these three states completely and accurately. It has to be said that it is a great technological innovation, a technological route that is unprecedented for humans. Perhaps the universal quantum computer of mankind will also be as amazing as this for the dynamic image civilization.

For humans themselves, the optical quantum computing route they are taking now seems to be a natural outcome, but it is not the case for aliens with different brain circuits.

The photon computer of the dynamic image civilization uses the quantum state of photons, but its essence is indeed a photon computer. As mentioned before, optical quantum computers and photon computers are only one word apart, but they are two different technological routes, because they are different in concept.

The former is a quantum computer that uses photons for calculation. It uses photons as the basic unit of light and has the dual characteristics of ionicity and wave properties. It is based on the principles of quantum mechanics and uses the characteristics of quantum superposition and entanglement of photons to complete complex tasks that are difficult for traditional computers to complete in a short time.

The latter, that is, a photon computer, is a kind of quantum computer that uses photons as the propagation medium of light, replaces electronic components with optical components, and replaces electrons with light beams for calculation and storage. It uses different wavelengths of light to represent different data, and uses a large number of lenses, prisms and reflectors to transmit data from one chip to another. This is how the computer works.

However, the current dynamic image civilization has gone a step further. They have pushed the photon computer to another branch of science and technology, the ternary system!

Its mathematical method uses the Pauli matrix of particles with spin 1. This matrix is ​​a tool to describe particles with spin 1. It can help civilizations that use it understand the spin phenomenon in quantum mechanics and can help intelligent life study the properties of particles with spin 1 in different spin directions.

The dynamic image civilization developed the photon ternary computer in this way.

The scientific and technological principles in the general direction are the same for everyone, but there are thousands of branches. If the dynamic image civilization continues to study along this route, it may really develop into their own unique technology in the future.

Seeing their various creativity, human scientists are also amazed.

However, when seeing the development history of the dynamic image civilization ternary computer, human scientists can't help but sigh, the similarity of scientific and technological development.

Because in the data description, the computers at the beginning of the dynamic picture civilization are very similar to the birth of the Soviet Union's ternary computer in the human earth era, and are also composed of electronic components such as ferrite cores and semiconductor diodes.

In the process of development, they also encountered many problems of ternary computers, such as poor performance balance, unstable third state between high and low voltages, easy misjudgment, extremely high complexity of electronic devices, material limitations, and many other problems.

However, unlike the Soviet Union, the dynamic picture civilization actually solved all these problems smoothly, and then successfully killed the binary computer, so that the computer development path of their entire civilization has since become ternary.

Of course, there are also dynamic graph civilizations that are more entangled in the issue of base efficiency, but in fact it is not a decisive factor. After all, although theoretically, the e base is the most efficient, but e is an irrational number 2.71828, not an integer, so it can only be taken up and down, that is, 2 and 3, also binary and ternary.

The closer to e, the higher the base efficiency, so the ternary base is indeed more efficient than the binary base, but in fact there is not much difference. Considering the difficulty of implementation, binary is the right way.

But there are also some who have taken a different approach and succeeded, such as the dynamic graph civilization.

They have gone through the difficult ternary opening and embarked on a smooth road. According to this view, if they and humans have the same research progress in computer technology, then their computers must be stronger than humans, which is determined by the underlying logic of mathematics.

So if the ternary computer can also reach the highest level, then its upper limit will be higher than that of the binary computer. For the immortal cultivation system, both have reached the level of immortal emperor, but I am more powerful than you.

In fact, there have been successful ternary systems in human history, but they were not the old electronic components of the Soviet era, but the transmission of ternary quantum signals. This was completed by scientists from the Flower Planting Family in 19 years, and it was the first successful ternary research in the quantum field.

However, humans can no longer replace the computer system of their entire civilization with ternary systems. We can only warn ourselves that there may be civilizations of the same level that are stronger than us in computer technology and computing power in the future.
