EU Headquarters, Brissel.
At this time, in a closed conference room, three people, two men and one woman, were sitting on a round table in a triangle shape.
Outsiders here will definitely recognize them.
The newly appointed Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson; French President Macron; and the German Chancellor, Annegret Lenkabauer, who took over the baton from Germany's "Iron Lady" and is known as "Little Merkar".
This time I came to Brussels to attend an EU meeting.
Because too many things happened ahead, they also decided to meet today to discuss the future direction and countermeasures of Europe.
The three of them didn't look very good.
Because some time ago, they felt betrayed again.
The three countries of the United States, Russia, and Taiwan succeeded in controlled nuclear fusion technology at the same time, but they launched their controlled nuclear fusion research agreement at almost the same time, leaving them behind.
Today, the three countries of the United States, Russia and Taiwan have made progress in controlled nuclear fusion technology, but Europe’s own controlled nuclear fusion technology has not made a breakthrough.
If this status quo continues, they will be surpassed and abandoned at the gate of a powerful country in the near future.
This is not what they want to see.
"That incident once again proved that they are unreliable. What are you going to do next?" Macaron asked.
Johnson and Lenkabauer both became quiet and did not dare to speak easily.
After thinking for a while, I finally got some movement.
"In this special period, Europe must unite." Lenkabauer crossed his fingers with a calm expression: "The historical change is very critical. Compared with China, the United States, and Russia, we must unite."
"so what?"
Johnson looked at him seriously and asked her to continue.
"You should all have received some news about the reasons why the three countries have made breakthroughs in controlled nuclear fusion technology."
Macaron and Johnson looked at each other and nodded slightly.
There were some clues about the matter, and their intelligence department informed them of possible guesses. Now that the United States has announced artificial intelligence, they have confirmed the news. Moreover, the dispute between Russia Island and Mei Island was also very strange, and they got a lot of information.
"What do you mean?" The two of them looked at Lenkabauer at the same time.
"Concentrate the artificial intelligence research team to tackle artificial intelligence and develop advanced artificial intelligence as soon as possible. None of us alone has a strong enough technical team and funds. If we don't work together, we can't do anything. The change has begun, and we won't do anything anymore." Get ready to withdraw from the center stage of the world."
Lenkabauer's words made Macaron and Johnson nod slightly.
This woman, who can take over the big stick from the Iron Lady and take charge of Europe's leader, is certainly as capable as them.
"What do you propose?"
"Concentrate the funds and technical talents from various European countries, pool the talents and technologies of each country, and reorganize the research team. As long as we gather the top talents from each country, we will have the top team and all technologies will be successfully shared." Lenka Ball said.
All parties had reservations about the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute that was originally established through European cooperation. Now that they have been betrayed in the direction of controlled nuclear fusion technology research, they are indeed somewhat passive.
"If you agree, we can announce this news at the summit. Now China, the United States, Russia, and island countries are all trying to steal technical talents. If we don't unite, we will be abandoned by the times. Don't expect the United States to help us. We suffered last time The withdrawal of controlled nuclear fusion technology is a reality.”
Lenkabauer paused.
She had said everything that needed to be said, and it was up to the two of them to choose next.
In this era of technological explosion, they have no choice, otherwise they will be relegated to the second rate in the world.
"I agree." Macaron raised his hand and said.
Both looked to Johnson, now only Britain.
After leaving the EU, they are now in an embarrassing situation, but they are still among the top three countries in Europe and one of the five gangsters. They have been played so many times. If they still follow the United States, they will only be isolated.
"I agree."
Johnson also raised his hand.
…
"Landing in progress..."
"100 metres… "
"50 meters… "
"10 meters… "
"Successful landing!"
On the far side of the moon, the edge of the sea of wisdom once again welcomed a guest, this time it was a behemoth Tiannu.
Chen Mo named this molten cave area: Ant Cave Area.
After several months of continuous launch of construction machines and helium-3 extraction machines, the anthole area is now a bit lively. The machines can work normally whether it is moonlight day or moonlight night.
It's daylight now, and you can see more than a dozen helium-3 extraction machines at work, and another helium-3 extraction machine will collect the helium-3 and store it in a storage cabin not far from the magma tunnel.
No sound could be heard here on the Tiannu No., it was deathly quiet.
"Please note that the transport bay is open."
The Tiannu's artificial intelligence opened the door of the transport cabin, and the robot in the transport cabin opened the safety belt of the fixed equipment. Various machines and equipment started, and slowly left the transport cabin and entered the lunar surface.
Except for the five helium-3 extraction robots, all other robots entered the magma tunnel.
This time, there were a lot of them, and the size of the machine was larger than that transported by the Goddess. There was also a tool box containing several robot drill bits for the robot to replace.
A transport robot, carrying the helium-3 collection capsule, arrived at a predetermined location next to the magma tunnel and put it down. It then took the full collection capsule back to the Tiannu.
The one-ton collection cabin is equipped with a refrigeration system and contains 100 kilograms of helium-3, which was collected by the helium-3 extraction robot and will be used as fuel for controlled nuclear fusion when returned to Earth.
"Earth, this is the Tiannu. All tasks have been completed. Please return."
After all the robots were released, the helium-3 collection module was recovered, and several robots loaded some lunar rocks and lunar soil, the Tiannu's artificial intelligence sent a request signal.
"Permission to return."
In the laboratory in Building 1, Mo Nu received the signal and passed the command.
"Brother Mo, the Tiannv has returned."
"Um."
Chen Mo, who was in front of the experimental table, responded and looked carefully at the quantum chip design drawing in front of him.
This is the quantum chip design drawn by Mo Nu based on his idea.
In manufacturing quantum computers, the importance of quantum chips is self-evident.
Quantum chips need to integrate quantum circuits into the substrate to carry quantum information processing. There are many paths to quantum chips, including superconducting systems, micro-nano photonics systems, atomic systems, ion systems and semiconductor quantum dot systems.
Chen Mo’s chosen research direction is superconducting systems.
He currently has room-temperature superconducting materials, and the technology of superconducting quantum chip systems is relatively easy to implement.
In terms of quantum chip research, Chen Mo has several technical solutions obtained from the science and technology library, combined with some practical theories, and selected the best, hoping to develop more efficient quantum chips.
The difficulty in current research is to extend the decoherence time of qubits.
Quantum coherence refers to the special connection between quanta, which can be used to deduce other quantum states from one or more quantum states.
If a string of qubits is coherent with each other, this string of qubits can be regarded as a 'community of destiny'. Processing one of the bits will affect the operating status of other bits. The efficient operation of quantum computers is based on this characteristic of quantum.
Decoherence is the phenomenon of wave function collapse, one of the basic mathematical features of quantum mechanics.
The simple explanation is that there are originally continuous probability amplitudes of multiple states from 0 to 1, and at the moment of 'observation', they suddenly change to a specific function point of 0 or 1.
A figurative explanation is that in Schrödinger's cat experiment, when Schrödinger did not open the box to 'observe' the cat, the cat only lived in the box with a certain probability, in a superposition state of neither life nor death, life and death, and when When Schrödinger opened the box and 'observed', the cat's originally uncertain existence of life and death suddenly turned into reality at the moment of 'observation', life or death, that is, 0 or 1, one of them.
The computing time of a quantum computer is affected by quantum decoherence.
The coherence between qubits is difficult to maintain for a long time. Once observed by external entities, the qubits will lose their coherence.
Within a computer, qubits decohere as they interact with the external environment. The period of time during which a quantum state goes from a coherent state to a state where it loses coherence is the decoherence time. If the decoherence time is not long enough, the quantum computer cannot calculate it.
Increasing the decoherence time is a difficulty in quantum chip technology, and it is also one of the problems Chen Mo is currently researching and solving.
In addition to extending the decoherence time of qubits and realizing the preparation, measurement and control of spin qubits, they are also the topics Chen Mo is currently researching.
Among the technical theories that Chen Mo obtained from the science and technology library, superconducting quantum interference is the best theoretical technology that he can currently use to control microscopic quantum states.
In addition, in terms of control accuracy, it is necessary to break through the fault-tolerant quantum threshold before quantum chips can be successful.
In order to ensure that scalable quantum computing can be carried out effectively, the error rate of logical operations cannot exceed 10 orders of magnitude. In order to achieve this error tolerance, Chen Mo chose to use topological quantum error correction as a research direction.
Utilize the topological properties of quantum states for quantum error correction processes.
This theory is recorded in the quantum information obtained by the Science and Technology Library. There is also a similar topological quantum error correction theory in real science. This is the highest error-tolerant quantum computing solution that can be achieved with existing technology.
"Go to the lab."
Chen Mo stood up from the platform, asked Mo Nu to store the information on quantum chip design, and headed towards the quantum laboratory. Now he is not sure whether the method is feasible. He needs to use experiments to verify his ideas and ideas.
