Although the computing power of supercomputers at this time is already very fast, in order to support the huge and complex virtual world, more powerful computers are bound to be needed, and quantum computers are undoubtedly the best choice!
What is a quantum computer
A quantum computer is a kind of physical device that follows the laws of quantum mechanics to perform high-speed mathematical and logical operations, store and process quantum information. A code that a classical computer takes 100 years to decipher, a quantum computer can do in 1 second.
Quantum computers can reduce the running time of some complex problems that classical computers need to deal with for tens of thousands of years to a few seconds. It is conceivable how awesome quantum computers are!
In fact, as early as the 1960s and 1970s, the Nobel Prize winner in physics, Richard Feynman, proposed the concept of quantum computers. After many years of research, this technology has achieved initial results.
Many companies under Li Zetian's name have made great achievements in the field of quantum computers, such as Intel, IBM, Microsoft...
Intel focuses on developing quantum chips.
Microsoft is focusing on developing programming languages for quantum computers.
IBM is working on developing quantum computers.
At first glance, it seems to be back to when the personal computer was just getting started.
The difference is that these three companies now belong to Li Zetian and can cooperate sincerely with each other.
Just yesterday, Li Zetian received a call from Wei Xiuping of Intel Corporation. He told Li Zetian that Intel Corporation had developed a 49-qubit test chip! ! !
Some people may think that the test chip with only 49 qubits is so amazing? !
But it's just so amazing that Intel Corporation even considers it a milestone! ! !
As we all know, traditional computers are all binary, that is, only "0" and "1" can be used to record all information states, and each step can only do the power of 2 - 2 operations.
The physical structure of a quantum computer is the ordered arrangement of entangled atoms themselves, and quantum bits (qubits) represent state memory and entangled states in the system. A quantum computer with 2 qubits can perform 2 to the power of 2 in each step—that is, 4 operations. Therefore, Intel’s chip can reach the 49th power of 2 in one step, which is 562 trillion operations.
You must know that the world's strongest supercomputing Sunway Taihu Light is 930 million times per second, while the current world's top six-core processor i7-8700K is only about 110 billion times, and a 49-qubit chip is i7 - How many times the 8700K processor
Once the 50-qubit chip is conquered, a quantum computer will surpass all existing supercomputers and be able to solve any problem that cannot be solved by a computer. When a quantum computer with 300 qubits can support more parallel computing than the number of atoms in the universe! ! !
In 2012, Caltech quantum theorist John Preskill coined the term "quantum supremacy", referring to the fact that when a quantum computer reaches 50 qubits, its computing power will exceed that of any computer in the world.
At present, the 49-qubit chip developed by Intel is only one step away from "quantum supremacy"!
Li Zetian praised the people in the quantum chip development team on the phone, and then urged Wei Xiuping to increase investment in quantum chips.
"49 qubits is far from enough. I hope Intel can make persistent efforts and develop computers with tens of thousands, or even millions of qubits, in the next few years!"
Although Li Zetian mentioned more stringent requirements, Wei Xiuping still nodded. From a commercial point of view, the number of qubits needs to be at least 1 million.
Wei Xiuping said solemnly: "Yes, Mr. Li, 49 qubits is far from enough, the commercial goal of quantum computing still has a long way to go, but we are confident that more quantum computing will be developed in a very short time. Bit of a chip!"
"Yeah." Li Zetian smiled and nodded. As early as two months ago, Intel Corporation launched a 17-qubit chip, but it has only been a while since a 49-qubit chip was developed. Li Zetian couldn't help but believe that Intel will definitely be able to develop chips with more than 1000 qubits in the next few years! ! !
Often breakthroughs in some key technologies will bring about leaps of change, and it is possible to jump from tens or hundreds to thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. Such is the change in the number of transistors on traditional chips. For example, the processor chip developed by Intel Corporation using a 12-nanometer process contains about 8 billion transistors. The next year, the 7-nanometer process was successfully developed, and the number of chip transistors suddenly increased to 20 billion.
The power of quantum computers does not need to be repeated, but powerful quantum chips can create powerful quantum computers. It can be seen that the quantum chip is simply the ultimate chip! ! !
After hanging up the phone, Li Zetian's heartbeat accelerated slightly when he thought of the future quantum computer. Quantum computers will surely become the engine of the fourth industrial revolution, playing a huge role in the field of artificial intelligence, communication, Internet, and big data.
…
Being the President of the United States is actually not very busy. Many things are done by other people. Li Zetian only needs to make the final decision. Bush took a total of 879 days off during his 8-year presidency, and Li Zetian decided to carry it forward for more than 1,000 days.
The reason why Li Zetian became this president is for power, and with power, he can cover his own business. Of course he won't work hard to be the president.
At the beginning of September, Li Zetian, Dongfang Yuqin and Yu Jingqiu appeared on the bright Hawaiian beach, enjoying life comfortably. The only difference from before is that a "miniature" version of the White House was accompanied by about 200 people, including White House aides, secret agents, military staff, communications and transportation experts. In fact, presidents can do almost anything he can do in the White House while on vacation.
Li Zetian thinks this is good, it is really boring to stay in the White House.
After a wonderful long vacation in Hawaii, Li Zetian did not return to the White House immediately, but visited China at the invitation of the Chinese leadership.
Immediately, the world's attention focused on Li Zetian's visit to China.
The United States is the most developed country, while China is currently the country with the most potential and the fastest development. The relationship between these two countries affects the development of countries around the world.
As a Chinese, Li Zetian is of course very willing to establish a good diplomatic relationship with China.
During Li Zetian's visit to China, the faces of some people in Taiwan and Japan became very ugly.
In fact, some people in Taiwan and Japan have been uneasy since Li Zetian became the US president.
How big is Taiwan, how can it compete with the huge China? Isn't it because the United States is behind it? But now, the president of the United States is Li Zetian. In this case, can the United States still support Taiwan
Since 2013, the situation in Taiwan has changed from time to time.
Of course, Japan is not much better, Li Zetian's relationship with the Japanese consortium can be said to be dire. After Li Zetian became the United States, the market value of companies under the Japanese consortium plummeted. In addition, in the United States, Japanese companies have been suppressed by many places. Li Zetian euphemistically called it to protect local American companies.
When it comes to American companies, Li Zetian's business tentacles have covered all walks of life. With the help of his huge financial resources, fame and various resources, he has sparked lightning all the way, madly dragged and dazzled the sky, and killed God. , the Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha.
In less than a year, Li Zetian's company has formed an absolute monopoly in the Internet, artificial intelligence, manufacturing, telecommunications, aerospace, arms, finance, insurance, transportation, pharmaceuticals, energy, retail, food, entertainment and other fields. , Li Zetian's worth has also skyrocketed wildly. Even Li Zetian himself doesn't know how much money he has. Anyway, it should be more than 30 trillion US dollars!
At present, the US economy is developing very fast due to the support of Li Zetian, but it is developing rapidly, and it is necessary to seek more markets and sell American products to other countries.
Looking at the world, India, a populous country, and two continents, Africa and South America, will be Li Zetian's main targets.
After visiting China, Li Zetian went to India to discuss trade issues between the two countries. After meeting the Indian leaders, Li Zetian stated bluntly that he asked India to develop more industries for American companies to enter, such as banking, insurance, telecommunications, transportation, energy and so on.
Generally speaking, the country is willing to cooperate with the United States in order to seek development, but banking, insurance, telecommunications, transportation, energy, etc. are all important industries related to people's livelihood, which are generally dominated by the state and cannot be easily controlled by foreign companies.
The Indian leaders hesitated and held a meeting to discuss it for a while.
However, in the end, Li Zetian used money to open the way and let them relax. Of course, Li Zetian's strong attitude also played a big role - if you don't cooperate, I will suppress you. I am now the president of the United States, representing the United States, so I will ask you if you are afraid? ? ? Of course, what Li Zetian said was not so straightforward and vulgar.
But no matter what, the final result still makes Li Zetian very satisfied.
This populous country with more than one billion people represents a huge potential and market.
"President Ram, don't worry, with the support of the United States, India will definitely develop very fast!" Li Zetian said with a smile on his face, but he thought, ah, India, what a good place to sell products! ! !
President Ram nodded with satisfaction, and Li Zetian promised that after India opened up many industries, he would borrow 50 billion US dollars to India, and at the same time, hundreds of billions of overseas investments would quickly enter the Indian market.
"I hope the cooperation between the United States and India will be happy!" President Rahm extended his hand.
"Hehe, I hope the cooperation between the United States and India will be happy!" Li Zetian shook hands with me, then said goodbye, got on the plane, and prepared for the next stop in the afternoon.
Speaking of planes, the current special plane of the President of the United States has become the latest passenger plane of Colonos Industries, the Space-X2012 super-large long-range passenger plane, which is priced at US$350 million, which is US$50 million more expensive than the European Airbus A380. But if you add the cost of decoration and the like, the total value of this US President's album exceeds 1 billion US dollars, which can be regarded as the most luxurious presidential plane in the world.
Previously, the US President's special plane has always used the aircraft produced by Boeing.
The so-called "fertile water does not flow to outsiders' fields" is bad luck for Boeing.
The next stop, Li Zetian came to Saudi Arabia.
Although electric vehicles are developing well now, the price of oil is still high. Therefore, there are many local tyrants in Saudi Arabia, and they have a lot of money in their hands.
"I really envy people who can make a lot of money while sitting at home!"
Li Zetian got off the plane, and when he saw the prosperous modern city-Riyadh, he couldn't help sighing in his heart.
At this time, a group of people from the King of Saudi Arabia came towards him.
"Welcome to Riyadh, Chronos Li!!!" Saudi Arabia's old King Salman stepped out of his right hand and greeted warmly.
Li Zetian shook hands with him, exchanged a few words, then looked at the city of Riyadh, and began to praise the development of the city of Riyadh, the development of Saudi Arabia, and the good governance of the Saudi king.
On the way to the hotel, Li Zetian felt that the old Saudi king seemed to be a little overwhelmed by his praise.
Li Zetian was speechless and shook his head. The Saudi country is developing so fast, don't you have a point in your heart? How different would Saudi Arabia be from its poor clanging neighbor Yemen if it had no oil
Not long after, Saudi King Salman arranged for Li Zetian and his party to come to the Sifang Palace.
The Sifang Palace is also the Royal Palace of Saudi Arabia. It shows the unique artistic charm and cultural heritage of Saudi traditional architecture everywhere. It has modern facilities, developed transportation, and a comfortable environment, as well as a palace with a long history, exquisite furnishings, precious cultural relics. The biggest feeling for Li Zetian is the rushing towards him! ! !
"Chronos Li, when we finish dinner, I will arrange for Saudi folk performances such as sword dances to let you experience Saudi customs and culture." Salman said enthusiastically.
"Okay." Li Zetian smiled and nodded, but he was thinking in his heart, how can Saudi Arabia pay...
