When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Luzhou.

University of Science and Technology of China.

"Academician Wang, we welcome you very much. A welcoming ceremony will be held this afternoon..."

The first time he saw Wang Donglai, Pan Hong said this with a smile.

However, when Wang Donglai heard what Pan Hong said, he remained very calm.

"Academician Pan, you don't have to be so polite. There is no need for a welcome ceremony. Time is precious. I hope to join the project team and start work earlier!"

Wang Dong spoke very directly and put forward his ideas straight to the point.

Hearing Wang Donglai say this, the smile on Pan Hong's face became even more intense, but the next second, a flash of worry flashed across his eyes.

"I originally thought that Academician Wang had come from afar and traveled all the way, so I should take a day off today and join the team tomorrow, but since Academician Wang said so, I won't be polite, we will join the team right away!"

The expression on Pan Hong's face changed very quickly, and if you didn't pay special attention, you wouldn't notice it at all.

But who is Wang Donglai?

Under the influence of the system, the physique has already reached a very strong level.

So, naturally, he noticed the hint of worry in Pan Hong's eyes.

After noticing this, Wang Donglai couldn't help but feel curious.

"It seems like something unexpected has happened!"

Wang Donglai was guessing in his mind, but he was not worried about it.

I joined the group because of the active invitation of Academician Pan Hong, and the process was formal.

Even if someone in the project team has different opinions, it will have no impact on Wang Donglai.

The two walked towards the laboratory while chatting.

Soon, we arrived at the place.

"Academician Wang, this is the optical quantum computer we are researching."

Pan Hong introduced a peculiarly shaped computer to Wang Donglai with a hint of pride on his face.

"Academician Wang, currently in the field of quantum computers, the quantum computer that Google, the Bald Eagle Aerospace Agency and the University of California, Barbara, jointly developed in 2015, which achieved high-precision manipulation of 9 superconducting quantum bits, is currently the most outstanding."

"This record has been held for more than a year, but now it is about to be broken by our quantum computer!"

"The quantum computer we are developing has achieved high-precision manipulation of 10 superconducting quantum bits."

When speaking of this data, Academician Pan Hong's tone was full of pride.

However, after the introduction, Pan Hong's expression became serious.

"Academician Wang, you have only improved from 9 superconducting qubits to 10 superconducting qubits. This improvement may be considered excellent by the outside world."

"But as scientific researchers, we should be aware of this."

"The development of quantum computers is similar to the development of computers back then. In the early stages, the improvement was not very significant, but once the technology matures, there will be a huge surge in numbers."

"It only has 10 superconducting qubits, which is only a small improvement over the 9 superconducting qubits of the Bald Eagle. It is far from overwhelming the superconducting qubits of the Bald Eagle."

"Whether it is the Bald Eagle Federation or the traditional European powers, they are all conducting research and development in the field of quantum computers."

“No one can tell when they will achieve breakthroughs in key technologies and bring quantum computers to a new stage.”

"We are already in a catching-up position and have a lot of work to do."

"Although we have achieved high-precision manipulation of 10 superconducting quantum bits, we have surpassed the Bald Eagle Federation."

"However, we cannot be sure whether this is a smokescreen released by the Bald Eagle Federation. More than a year has passed, and we don't know whether the Bald Eagle Federation has made any new technological breakthroughs."

"We can't be complacent just because we have achieved a small success. If we announce that we have achieved a technological breakthrough, and the Bald Eagle Federation or other countries come up with a better product right after we announce it, then we will become a joke."

"This may not happen, but as long as it is possible, we must find a way to rule it out."

"The only thing we can do is to make this quantum computer as good as we can."

"Academician Wang, it's hard to say these things before, but now that you've joined the group, you're a member of the team, so I have to say something. What do you think?"

After Pan Hong finished speaking, he waited quietly for Wang Donglai's reaction.

Wang Donglai did not disappoint Pan Hong. He nodded seriously and said, "Academician Pan, I think what you said makes sense."

"Indeed, although I am a little younger, I also understand one thing."

“To do scientific research, you need a serious and responsible attitude. Relax a little here, relax a little there, and in the end there will only be one result.”

"That means you won't be able to achieve anything!"

“If you seek the highest, you will get the middle; if you seek the middle, you will get the lowest; if you seek the lowest, you will get nothing. The ancients have already told us this.”

Seeing that Wang Donglai agreed with his idea, a smile appeared on Pan Hong's face.

"Academician Wang, I actually have a little selfish motive in inviting you to join this team."

"One problem in quantum computers is that they require quantum interference and clever algorithm design to enhance the exponentially large number of output quantum states through interference to obtain meaningful results."

"In other words, this involves the famous NP problem in mathematics."

“And I think no one will doubt Academician Wang’s talent in mathematics.”

"So, if Academician Wang can make a breakthrough in this area, I think we will greatly promote the research and development of quantum computers."

Pan Hong was very frank and directly stated his true thoughts on inviting Wang Donglai.

And Wang Donglai was not surprised.

He knew this when Pan Hong invited him.

Moreover, as a top scholar in this field, he knows more than Pan Hong.

"Academician Pan, NP problems are a difficult mathematical problem in the world, and I am indeed somewhat interested in them."

Wang Donglai didn't say much, just mentioned this lightly.

But just this one sentence was enough. Pan Hong smiled and continued, "Academician Wang, I have prepared all the relevant information and put it in your office. You can learn about the project in the next two days and then start working after you are familiar with it. After all, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood!"

"it is good!"

Wang Donglai was quick to accept good advice and naturally would not refuse this proposal.

The two chatted while touring the laboratory.

However, after visiting for a while, Wang Donglai remembered something and took the initiative to say, "Academician Pan, the thing I mentioned before..."

When Wang Donglai mentioned this, Pan Hong's face froze. "Academician Wang, I feel a little sorry for you when I talk about this."

“Although I am the leader of this project, there are still some things that I need to discuss with other team members.”

"Professor Wang Hua from Jiangsu and Zhejiang University is also an important member. He has some opinions on your idea."

“So, this matter is currently in a dilemma.”

"But Academician Wang, don't worry. I will find a way to convince Professor Wang Hua."

Wang Donglai frowned slightly, looked at Pan Hong, and asked, "Academician Pan, can I ask why Professor Wang Hua objects?"

"I know the reason, and I can think of a way to solve this problem!"

Pan Hong looked at the serious expression on Wang Donglai's face, thought for a moment, and then said, "Academician Wang, Professor Wang Hua actually has no ill intentions, he just thinks that the idea you proposed is a bit too bold."

Hearing Pan Hong's somewhat evasive explanation, Wang Donglai immediately began to think rapidly in his mind.

In a breath, I guessed the real reason.

"Academician Pan, Professor Wang Hua is probably afraid of the risks that may arise after Galaxy Technology's artificial intelligence is connected? Or maybe Professor Wang Hua is worried that Galaxy Technology will affect..."

Before Wang Donglai could finish, Academician Pan Hong interrupted him and said, "Academician Wang, it's not what you think."

"Professor Wang Hua is not that kind of person. He opposes access to your company's artificial intelligence technology only for reasons such as technical confidentiality, not for any other reasons."

After taking a look at Pan Hong, Wang Donglai could clearly see that Pan Hong was not lying.

"Academician Pan, if that's the case, then let's not talk about this matter for now."

Wang Donglai acted very Buddhist and straightforward, and just let the matter go.

Accessing Galaxy Technology's artificial intelligence is actually just a half-hearted attempt.

It's better to have it, but it won't affect anything if you don't have it.

Wang Donglai is very open-minded about this.

As for Professor Wang Hua of Jiangsu and Zhejiang University, as long as he is truly public-spirited, Wang Donglai will not have any views or opinions about him.

Seeing Wang Donglai being so reasonable, Pan Hong felt a little embarrassed, so he suggested, "Academician Wang, we also know the benefits of artificial intelligence, so we have also developed a simple artificial intelligence algorithm to assist our work."

"If Academician Wang doesn't mind, we can optimize this artificial intelligence algorithm."

Wang Donglai refused without even thinking about it.

The advantage of quantum computers lies in their super-fast parallel computing and simulation capabilities. To put it in an analogy, if the speed of traditional computers is that of bicycles, then the speed of quantum computers is like that of airplanes.

More scientific data is that a quantum computer that manipulates 50 microscopic particles can handle specific problems more efficiently than the currently fastest supercomputer, Sunway TaihuLight.

Therefore, a problem arises. If quantum computers want to provide general computing power, they need to design specific algorithms based on specific problems.

This job is not easy; it is tedious and complicated.

However, if there is support from artificial intelligence technology, the situation will be different, and a lot of R&D time can be shortened.

Wang Donglai previously proposed to access Galaxy Technology’s artificial intelligence technology. It was not just about accessing the technology, but also about opening up the platform and using Galaxy Technology’s database to provide algorithm support.

"Academician Pan, since Professor Wang Hua is a little worried, let's forget about this matter. As for adjusting the artificial algorithm, let's forget about it too."

"The integration of artificial intelligence technology is just an icing on the cake. Improving the performance of quantum computers is what we really need to do."

Pan Hong was obviously a little disappointed. Although he had never seen Wang Donglai's technical attainments in the field of artificial intelligence, he had heard about it from other people.

After all, it was Wang Donglai who initiated the trend of equipping domestic smartphones with intelligent artificial assistants.

The effect can be seen from the shipment volume of domestic mobile phones and the global smartphone market share.

If a great person like Wang Donglai could help optimize the extremely simple artificial intelligence they had developed before, it would definitely greatly improve the performance.

But Wang Donglai refused.

Seeing this, although Pan Hong felt regretful, he didn't say anything more.

In this matter, he was originally in the wrong. Things had already been agreed upon, but he failed to appease the other team members and failed to get the job done.

Now, he asked Wang Dong to optimize the artificial intelligence developed by him and others. This was more or less too much.

Thinking this in his mind, Pan Hong skipped the topic.

"Academician Wang, you said before that Galaxy Technology is preparing to develop its own quantum computer. I asked the higher-ups about this, and they gave me a clear answer."

"As long as there is no patent infringement or other violations such as leaks, the higher-ups are happy to see it."

"We can even conduct business cooperation at that time."

"Quantum computers have many application scenarios, not only in the military field, but also in business, scientific research and other fields."

"The higher-ups are encouraging technical exchanges and are quite supportive of this kind of situation."

When Wang Donglai heard Pan Hong mention this, a smile finally appeared on his face.

It is inevitable for Galaxy Technology to build a quantum computer of its own.

Compared with supercomputers and quantum computers, they can only be said to be backward products.

More importantly, Wang Donglai has real artificial intelligence Wa.

If Wa wants to unleash its true strength, it must have a powerful enough processor.

Wang Donglai has privately calculated that current quantum computers cannot allow Wa to fully demonstrate her strength.

Even more powerful quantum computers are needed.

In addition, according to Wang Donglai’s idea.

10 superconducting qubits are just a start.

100 just barely.

500 is not bad.

1000 passed.

2000 is considered excellent.

Only after reaching this level can Wa's true strength be brought into play.

At this point, what we need to do is not to continue to expand, but to miniaturize.

Only when miniaturization is achieved can we be considered to have fully mastered quantum computer technology.

This is Wang Donglai’s plan for quantum computers. (End of this chapter)
