Chapter 374: The first steps towards quantum computers

Bruce Wayne: "If you need help, you can ask me."

Tony Stark: "Hopefully that time never comes."

While they were chatting, Lu Zixin checked the information in the group. The activity level is more difficult to upgrade than before, random red envelopes are expected to take some time, and group member invitations are also being cooled down.

A month later, Hongxin Group officially announced that it would merge Hongxin Game Co., Ltd. and Hongxin Virtual Interactive Entertainment Co., Ltd. At this point, Hongxin Group was mainly divided into two parts, one was Hongxin Virtual Interactive Entertainment and the other was Hongxin electronic.

As for other businesses, such as Hongxin Capital, Kunpeng Battery, Leiyu Home Appliances, etc., they are all relatively independent small business companies.

Hongxin Quantum Computer Research Center has finally seen some results from its investment and research and development during this period.

In the laboratory, they built the first superconducting quantum computer. It was small, only the size of a small box. Compared with the optical quantum computer that Lu Zixin visited before, the size is several times smaller!

This kind of computer can be used directly as a work computer without any problem.

The most important thing is that the computing power of the superconducting quantum computer made by Hongxin has reached the level of controlling twenty qubits, reaching the international leading level.

"It took half a year! I didn't expect it was only half a year! You did it!" Pan Qiwen, who came to visit, was very excited. According to his original expectation, it was already very remarkable that Hongxin could do it within three years.

But the fact was more surprising than he expected. In just half a year, this quantum computer research institute had accomplished a goal that other research centers had taken several years to accomplish.

"That's not all, Mr. Pan, look at what this is?" Lu Zixin handed him a delicate small box.

"What?" Pan Qiwen took the small box in confusion and opened it to take a look. Inside the box is a chip about one-third the size of a palm.

In the box, there was also an instruction manual for this chip. Pan Qiwen picked it up.

"Superconducting quantum computer chip!" He couldn't help shouting at just the first glance.

Whether it is an optical quantum computer or a superconducting quantum computer, there are many people in the world who can do it. But just like the Quantum Technology Research Institute in Shanghai, many quantum computers are still very large.

And this kind of small superconducting quantum computer chip is even more rare. So far, only companies such as Intel have the strength to develop.

"Can this chip also perform operations with twenty qubits?" Pan Qiwen was truly shocked this time. This is equivalent to saying that this small chip is comparable to cabinet-sized equipment in other research institutes!

"I remember that the last quantum chip Intel announced only had sixteen qubits!" Pan Qiwen turned around and asked.

"Yes, it's sixteen. But now they should have made more advanced chips, and we haven't taken the lead yet." Dai Liangcai responded.

"Incredible! Incredible! It's really incredible!" Pan Qiwen took a deep breath, suppressed his surprise, and said: "I can guarantee that this is definitely a world-class level!"

"The last time I held a quantum technology seminar in Canada, no one in the publicly available information in the world could make such a high-tech product!"

"Hahaha!" Pan Qiwen laughed, "There were a few old guys at the Academy of Sciences who said you couldn't do it before, but now they should be shocked!"

He is very fortunate that he pushed for the establishment of this project. In this institute, many are reserve talents from the National Academy of Sciences and several universities of science and technology.

"Mr. Pan, do you want to see the actual effect?" Lu Zixin asked.

"Look, of course you have to look! Seeing is believing!" Pan Qiwen said seriously.

Next, they demonstrated the computing power of the superconducting quantum computer to Pan Qiwen. Its current performance is almost the same as that of ordinary computers on the market.

Pan Qi Wenle's wrinkles melted away, but Lu Zixin was only slightly happy, not all happy.

The superconducting quantum computer created this time still cannot be commercialized. The reason is simple. It is a superconducting quantum computer. The cost is many times higher than that of ordinary computers, but its performance is not significantly superior, so it is not suitable for commercialization.

For commercialization, superconducting quantum chips can control more qubits. Lu Zi’s minimum goal is to achieve the computing power of a general supercomputer.

At that time, the quantum computer can live up to its name and truly perform super operations!

This time is estimated to be more than half a year. Lu Zixin also noticed a more serious problem, which was the serious shortage of relevant talents.

Without the help of the National Academy of Sciences, their research team would not have been assembled. There are too few people studying these high-end technologies in China, and many talents stay abroad. This has greatly restricted the development of science and technology. If Lu Zixin had not had intelligent robots and technical data, it would have been difficult to make these things in another five or ten years.

"Talent training is also very important." Lu Zi thought to himself confidently that almost all large companies cooperate with some universities to carry out talent training programs and so on.

Hongxin also has cooperation with universities such as Jiangsu University, but this is not enough. The talents he wants are top talents who can lead the world and develop explorers that exceed the current level of technology. He must find another way.

"Your results are excellent!" Pan Qiwen gave a thumbs up and said, "This matter is also very important. I want to stay here for two more days and write a report for the National Academy of Sciences."

"No problem, you can stay as long as you want!" Lu Zixin agreed.

"In addition, I suggest you release this result as soon as possible." Pan Qiwen said, "We need this kind of technology to awaken the confidence of China's scientific and technological community. Let everyone see that confidential technologies blocked in developed countries, even technologies in completely new fields Here, we can do better too!”

"Well, we can release the news about the chip. For quantum computers, we plan to wait until a commercial superconducting quantum computer is developed before announcing it." Lu Zixin said.

"Yeah." Pan Qiwen didn't ask much about this and said, "I remember we made a bet before, right? I give up and am willing to do so!"

"Don't worry, when I return to the Academy of Sciences for a meeting, I will definitely support the development and promotion of commercial quantum computers."

"Then thank you, Mr. Pan!" Lu Zixin quickly thanked him.

In addition to the National Academy of Sciences, the Hongxin Quantum Computer Research Institute has also written scientific papers and submitted them to international academic journals, allowing international peers to see the achievements made by Hongxin.
