"D-Wave's standard is more suitable. They launched a commercial quantum computer as early as 2003."
"No, I think the route of Yale University's Superconducting Quantum Computer Laboratory is better. They are among the top in the world in quantum computer research!"
"IBM cooperates with the National Institute of Standards and Technology Physics Laboratory, and their system for quantum computers is relatively complete."
In terms of quantum computers, each research laboratory takes a different direction, so everyone's opinions are also different.
But in general, they still support the top group, the technical standards from the top quantum research centers in the Americas and Europe.
Suddenly, someone said: "The standard theory of the Hongxin Group is also very useful for reference. I have been studying their content in the journal Science for a month, and I think it may be more advanced than the ideas of other quantum research institutions!"
"Hongxin?" He was the first person to recommend Hongxin Group. Everyone looked at him, slightly surprised.
This man has silver hair, even his beard is white, and he is already eighty years old. He was wearing a light-colored shirt and was sitting next to a chair with a cup of bitter coffee on the table.
"Academician Rand, do you think the Hongxin Quantum Institute's view in the journal Science is the most correct?" Tolan Bell asked in surprise.
He doesn't have to pay attention to other people's opinions. But no one here could ignore the opinion of Academician Rand.
Because he is one of the world's top physicists. He is now doing research at the National Bureau of Standards and Technology and is an academician of the National Academy of Sciences. He has achieved many achievements, the most notable of which is his experiments on individual quantum systems. The method won the Nobel Prize in Physics!
"I dare not say it is correct, but I do think this is a feasible way. If Hongxin Group can turn their theory into reality." Academician Rand took a sip of coffee and said calmly.
"But their actual products are still far behind our cutting-edge technology!" Tolan Bell disagreed with Academician Rand's statement.
"IBM, INTEL, Yale, University of California, Santa Barbara, D-Wve, as well as France, the United Kingdom, Sweden, island countries...the research results on quantum computers in these places are currently better than the 20 quantum computers described by the Red Letter Group. Bit superconducting quantum computers are much higher.”
"So I think that although the Hongxin Quantum Computer Research Center has proposed another research direction, there is no need for reference."
"Yes." Most of the others held the same view as Tolan Bell and said: "Maybe in ten years, Red Letter will have some achievements, but for now, they are still relatively lagging behind."
Academician Rand shrugged and said, "Then let time prove it. I hope I can see that day."
He is also not sure which side is more advanced. This is an area that is still being explored. The theory only provides direction, but the results are the ironclad basis.
Everyone discussed for a while, and Tolan Bell said: "Before the official vote, we can do a preview vote. During the conference, we can focus on observing, studying and discussing the results of the vote."
He asked his assistant to take out pen and paper and asked the members present to write down the results of their votes.
"Okay, everyone, bring up the voting results. Let me explain in advance that this is just a small game and does not represent the opinions of our IEEE Association and the American Computer Society." Tolan Bell said and began to count the votes.
Although there were only about twenty people present, they were all important members from research institutions around the world and IEEE and the American Computer Society. Their opinions were enough to represent the majority of people.
"Currently, the top vote-getter is IBM (International Business Machines Corporation), with nine friends recognizing their commercial quantum computer standard."
"The second highest vote-getter is INTEL (Intel Integrated Electronics), with seven friends endorsing their commercial quantum computer standard."
"The third highest vote was from Microsoft, approved by three friends."
"The two votes were given by Canada's D-Wave Company and American AMD Company. A friend recognized the quantum computer standard of Huaxia Hongxin Group."
Tolan Bell announced the results of the mini-game, which were pretty much what he thought. Mainly, IBM and INTEL had the highest support rates, while others were far behind.
By then, the official voting results should be between the two companies—this will not be known until the end of the Global Supercomputer Conference.
…
A few days later, in New Orleans, USA, in order to participate in this global supercomputer conference, Lu Zixin came here with Su Zhirong, Dai Liangcai and others.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Su, and Professor Dai, I wish you all the best in your work." On the private plane, Fanny threatened to send them off.
"Thank you for your hard work." Everyone smiled back.
"Mr. Lu, I just heard a piece of gossip. It was told to me by a friend in the United States." Dai Liangcai put away his phone and said.
"what news?"
"I heard that just a few nights ago, some members of the IEEE and the American Computer Society conducted a small-scale trial vote to select various standards for quantum computers." Dai Liangcai said.
"Then Mr. Dai, what is the result?" Su Zhirong asked curiously. This standard was also one of the important purposes of their participation in the meeting.
"The votes from IBM and INTEL were evenly divided, and the others were similar. But one thing is interesting. Academician Rand, a former Nobel physicist who has made outstanding achievements in the quantum field, actually supports the quantum computer standard proposed by our company." Dai Liangcai laughed. He said, "Academician RAND really deserves his reputation. He can actually see our technological potential."
"Haha, it seems that the international scientific community still doesn't know enough about us!" Lu Zixin said confidently, "This time we should impress them!"
Su Zhirong nodded and said: "We have brought the prototype and will wait for it to be displayed at the conference."
"Are the media ready?" Lu Zixin asked, "When we exhibit, we need to let the media hype it up and officially launch the commercial quantum computer product concept."
"Get ready, this global supercomputing conference will attract the attention of mainstream media around the world."
Before the conference begins, Lu Zixin still has a lot of work to do. There are many companies and institutions participating in the conference, so discussions are inevitable.
A few days later, this global supercomputer conference officially began and lasted for one week. Companies, universities, and institutions participating in the conference can display their scientific research results and communicate with their peers at the New Orleans Convention Center.
Moreover, several important academic conferences will be held during this period to explore related issues in the field of supercomputers.
PS: I recommended a new book from a friend, "Helping Others Will Make You Stronger". This is a very interesting story about becoming stronger by collecting positive energy.
