"Contact this research center immediately!" George hurriedly called his assistant, "See if we can go there and visit!"
…
The scientific community of countries such as Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, and island countries that are at the forefront of the quantum field have all seen this report.
All of a sudden, the Hongxin Quantum Computer Research Center received letters of application for visits like a snowflake. They all wanted to know if the world’s most advanced quantum computer was hidden here!
In the field of quantum computers, the United States is undoubtedly the top country in the world. Several top universities such as Yale University and the University of Michigan have quantum computer research teams and have successfully manufactured quantum chips.
The National Security Agency's own scientific research department is also studying quantum computers based on quantum communications.
Among the giant companies that have long monopolized the computer field, such research has been carried out more than ten years ago. Now they have the strength to launch commercial quantum computers, but in terms of performance and cost, On the other hand, it is not suitable for the general public.
IBM (International Business Machines Corporation) is the world's largest information technology and business solutions company, with more than 300,000 employees worldwide and operations in more than 160 countries and regions.
Their achievements in superconducting integrated circuit quantum computing are undoubtedly world-class.
While other laboratories or companies can only run superconducting quantum computers at ultra-low temperatures or under harsh conditions, they have been able to run superconducting quantum computers at room temperature.
Popularizing commercial operation of superconducting quantum computers is also an important project of IBM.
IBM's quantum computer project department at its headquarters in Armonk, New York, is discussing the report in this issue of Science.
"According to them, they will soon be able to make quantum computers as popular as traditional computers." A senior executive frowned, "This will be a subversion of the computer industry, and it will also be a revolution for us traditional computer machine manufacturing and information technology." We must take precautions against the serious blow to technology companies! ”
"I think the truth may not be that serious!" A quantum computer expert said confidently, "It's just a twenty-qubit superconducting quantum computer. We built it ten years ago! Their achievements, Not worth mentioning!”
"No, Lester, we can't underestimate them! This research institute belongs to the Red Letter Group!" A vice president and board member said seriously, "Apple and Qualcomm have told us with tragic facts that we should underestimate them. The fate of this Chinese company!”
"We cannot follow in their footsteps and watch them grow in our field and encroach on our market!"
"Dr. Becky, you are an expert in the field of quantum computers. What do you think?" someone asked.
Dr. Becky, who had gray hair, pushed up his glasses and analyzed: "I read the content in Science five times, and I can confirm that they have indeed mastered the technology to create a commercial superconducting quantum computer."
"As long as such a superconducting quantum computer can control fifty qubits, its computing power will be called the world's number one computer! In my estimation, it won't take long for them to reach fifty."
When everyone heard what he said, they all showed surprised expressions. Doesn't this mean that in a few years, China will have the best-performing computer machines in the world
"You don't need to worry too much." Dr. Becky continued to analyze, "It is very difficult to reach such a level."
"As for the commercialization of superconducting quantum computers, I think the situation is not as optimistic as they imagined. The cost of manufacturing a superconducting quantum computer is absolutely unaffordable for ordinary users."
"So I think they should first cooperate with the Chinese military to manufacture some quantum computers for military production purposes. For civilian use, it cannot be completed within five years."
"If that's the case, we still have time to deal with it!" The vice president's brows always relaxed a little. What he was most afraid of was that changes in the industry would come like a storm and not give them enough time to react.
"Now, we need to know more information. Maybe we should contact some Red Letter Group and their quantum computer research center." Dr. Becky said.
…
Intel and AMD, the two giants that have monopolized computer chips for decades, are also nervous because of a report in the journal Science.
In core technologies such as computer chips, they have spent decades building high barriers to keep out all other countries and companies.
Now the Chinese people are unconvinced and want to overtake in another field. How can they allow it? If Hongxin really does it, how will they make money in the future and maintain their status as the industry leader
Therefore, Intel and AMD have disclosed publicly or privately that their companies have higher-level superconducting quantum computer chips. Some authorities also said that the report about the Huaxia Hongxin Quantum Computer Research Center in the "Science" journal was somewhat untrue. At the same time, their achievements are not unique, but are a path that companies such as the United States have already taken, and they are suspected of exaggerating.
The relevant impacts are limited to the scientific community. For the general public, they don't care what is published in the journal Science.
The news they can see is that Hongxin Group announced that Hongxin Electronics Co., Ltd. will launch the Hongxin computer business and is expected to launch the first computer of the Hongxin brand within one or two years!
"What will Hongxin's computer be like?" This is what Lu Zixin wrote in the main conference room of the Hongxin Group Building.
He asked everyone to discuss what kind of products Hongxin should make and what functions and designs they should have.
"Of course it is a Hongxin computer with a Hongxin independent operating system!" Tang Gang was the first to say, "Since it is our independent computer, it must have its own system just like Hongxin's smartphones. We don't need Microsoft's WINDOWS computer. Operating system, unlike Apple’s IOS operating system, we designed our own Red Letter computer operating system!”
"Ours is a quantum computer with stronger computing power!" Liang Song said, "Logically speaking, our computer should be better in AI intelligence. Therefore, we should not only design a more intelligent operating system, but also Also design intelligent computer applications!”
"Add a virtual projection function!" Zhu An said, "Let the quantum computer use a virtual screen, so that it can be lighter in size and weight!"
