"Mr. Plit?" Bai Chenghui showed a puzzled expression.
"Oh, you are welcome to visit our IBM computer technology exchange meeting in the next few days..." Plit forced himself to calm down and sent Bai Chenghui away.
"How could it be true? There is already such a powerful quantum computer in the world?" As soon as Bai Chenghui left, Plit immediately made a call.
"I know you are surprised, but according to the latest information we have, this matter is most likely true. The information submitted by Hongxin Group is accurate, and they also brought test records of quantum computers! "On the other end of the phone is one of the core members of the Association for Computing Machinery and an electronic technology engineer working at IBM.
"Where?" Pritt had to see it with his own eyes before he could believe it.
"We are not here. The review team sent people there. If you are interested, you can go together."
"Of course I want to go, this must be a lie, I have to expose it!" Pritt set off immediately, his heart full of anxiety.
There is more than one person who has the same idea as him. The IEEE and the American Computer Society have each sent members to the review team to confirm the authenticity of the Red Letter Quantum Computer.
However, this is a real thing. With the support of complete information and data, and even video demonstrations and other evidence, they can only confirm that the quantum computer submitted by Hongxin Group really achieves the performance advertised in their materials. The performance and computing speed exceeds 10 billion times that of the current top computers!
"This... this... it took them less than half a year to realize their theory?" Tolan Bell thought of the paper in the journal Science, and he couldn't speak clearly.
He remembered that when he discussed it with Academician Rand and other colleagues, he thought this was just a new theory. It describes a possible way to realize a superconducting quantum computer, but who knows how long it has been before Hongxin’s Quantum Computer Research Institute has already produced it!
"Ten billion times! Oh my God!" Plit looked at the data repeatedly and exclaimed: "It can complete the calculations of our supercomputer in 317.09 years in one second!"
"The United States... no, all the supercomputers in the world combined are no match for it!"
"Miracle! I saw a miracle!" the leader of the review team became excited. "I have participated in the review of the world's top 500 supercomputers for more than ten years, but this year, the speed of this quantum computer is the highest I have ever seen. of!"
"The gap between it and other supercomputers is just like the gap between supercomputers and ordinary computers, as big as the Mariana Trench!"
All other members exclaimed, "This result is really amazing!"
“It has to be the number one supercomputer this year!”
"I originally thought that IBM and Intel's quantum computers could change the landscape of the computer industry. Who knew that there would be such a monster machine!"
"Compared with it, other quantum computers cannot be called quantum computers at all!"
"With it, does our supercomputing ranking still have meaning?" Suddenly, someone raised a question, which silenced the entire review team.
Yes, the performance of this superconducting quantum computer is too strong. On any list, the first place can be 10 billion times better than the second place? So is this list still meaningful
The original purpose of the ranking was to encourage research institutions to develop stronger supercomputers. Now that we have seen such a powerful superconducting quantum computer, it is estimated that other research institutes will abandon the manufacturing of traditional supercomputers and turn to the development of quantum computers.
After a moment of silence, a senior executive from the Association for Computing Machinery said: "Perhaps, quantum computers should not be included in this ranking list!"
"Yes, this is the supercomputer ranking. As a new type of computer, whether quantum computers should be included in the list is a question that needs to be discussed. Our rules need to be improved." Plitt immediately agreed.
"But in terms of calculation speed, it is indeed the first." Someone emphasized.
"Conceptually, quantum computers are also supercomputers, and they should be ranked number one!"
There was endless debate within the review team. Tolan Bell said: "We need to have a meeting to discuss this matter. The rules of this year's supercomputer rankings must be changed!"
…
In the New Orleans Convention Center, scholars and experts in the computer field from all over the world are visiting a new technology product display.
The latest superconducting quantum computer from Intel Integrated Electronics!
At the booth, a beautiful blonde was introducing their products.
"This is the latest superconducting quantum computer developed together with our partner QuTech Quantum Computing Laboratory. In this superconducting quantum computer, we control more than hundreds of qubits and overcome the problem of superconducting quantum chips at normal temperatures. Environmental disturbances and unintended effects.”
"It has been able to realize programming, neuromorphic, learning and other functions, and will be further improved, completely surpassing current supercomputers."
"In the next few years, we will increase the qubits of quantum computers to thousands or even tens of thousands. It is foreseeable that commercial quantum computers are close at hand!"
"Bah bang bang..." The audience burst into applause. Experts and scholars from many countries looked at this superconducting quantum computer with eyes full of curiosity and admiration.
"Hey, it's been less than a month since Google announced the development of the latest superconducting quantum chip. I didn't expect to see Intel's technological achievements here again this year!" A Chinese scholar said with emotion, "In the battle for quantum supremacy, we China is falling behind again!”
He is a quantum physics expert from a top university in China and has always been very concerned about quantum technology products in the industry.
"Teacher Tian, do you think we still have a chance to compete for quantum supremacy?" asked a Chinese expert next to him.
Mentioning this, Teacher Nada showed a somewhat worried look and said: "In the past few years, the computer field called the technology that can control a fifty-qubit computer quantum supremacy. So far, our country has not achieved it."
"However, Intel, Google and IBM have all reached this standard. I personally think that the current quantum supremacy should refer to the company that is the first to develop a commercial quantum computer."
"Whoever does it first will be able to set the standards and rules in this field and occupy the market. China is still trying to catch up on this road. I hope we can catch up fast enough. In the traditional computer field, we are already dominated. For decades, quantum computers must not make the same mistakes again!”
