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

We are young students, in the prime of our youth, full of youthful vigor and ambition, and full of ambition.

Pointing the country, enthusiastic writing, the dung soil was ten thousand households back then.

Have you ever remembered that when you hit the water in the middle of the stream, the waves stop the boat?

After Wang Donglai finished speaking, the same thought emerged in the minds of Pan Hong and Gong Ping.

Who doesn’t miss the passion and vigor of youth?

This is the image that Wang Donglai portrays.

There was so much in the conversation just now that was beyond the two's imagination.

"Academician Wang, you are an expert in the field of artificial intelligence. I am looking forward to what you have to say."

"If it were any other expert, I would just think it's a beautiful fantasy."

It was precisely because Gong Ping knew what it meant to write program codes in artificial intelligence that he completely changed his perception of Wang Donglai in his mind after Wang Donglai admitted it.

It is very likely that artificial intelligence has already made breakthrough progress.

At this moment, Gong Ping only hated himself for not being from the Internet Development Department. Otherwise, when Galaxy Technology's artificial intelligence technology was announced, it would not only cause a global uproar, but would also have a great impact on the official authorities.

Fortunately, I am at the Cyber ​​Security Center, and I was able to gain some benefit from this incident.

Pan Hong is even more direct.

From the perspective of a scholar, I examined what Wang Dong said.

"Academician Wang, it is undeniable that artificial intelligence is highly disruptive, but Academician Wang did not seem to mention the difficulty of developing artificial intelligence technology."

Pan Hong was not pouring cold water on others, but it was his instinct as a research scholar.

Because, in theory, there are many technologies that have such capabilities and effects.

But in reality, it is impossible to do so.

For example, take controlled nuclear fusion. Everyone knows that once a breakthrough in controlled nuclear fusion technology is achieved, many of humanity’s problems can be solved.

However, since this concept was proposed until now, there has been no progress in related research.

It's not that anyone is opposed to it, nor is it that anyone is restricting it out of their own selfish motives.

It's simply because there has been no breakthrough in technology that this cannot be achieved.

Pan Hong was also worried about this, so he asked about it at this time.

Wang Donglai is also a scientific researcher, so he naturally understood why Pan Hong asked.

"Academician Pan asked a good question!"

"The three challenges I mentioned before are GPU, data information, and algorithm."

"This statement is a bit too general. In fact, many companies are developing artificial intelligence, but most of their artificial intelligence is just pre-set with a variety of response models. It is not artificial intelligence at all. It should be called artificial intelligence."

"One very obvious feature of artificial intelligence is the ability to conduct machine learning autonomously. Let me give you the simplest example."

"At first, the AI ​​model may not understand a specific question, but after absorbing a large amount of data and information, it will understand it through the machine deep learning algorithm and then be able to answer related questions."

"Director Gong might be surprised by Wa's ability to write program code, but I have to say that Wa was not able to do this from the beginning."

"Before this, Wa had already developed countless code programs and read countless excellent codes to learn from."

“Artificial intelligence is a technology, not a myth.”

"It will also have problems. At this stage, it cannot think and create independently without humans."

"Now that we've come to this, I think Academician Pan will understand once he finishes reading this document."

As Wang Dong said this, he typed a few times on his computer.

Then he turned the computer screen to Pan Hong.

"Academician Pan, please take a look at this information!"

Pan Hong didn't hesitate and started reading it directly.

As soon as he saw the title of the information, Pan Hong's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Pan Hong's expression subconsciously became extremely serious.

Gong Ping, who was standing by, also noticed this scene and felt a little curious.

I don’t know what Pan Hong saw.

In this situation, Gong Ping could only wait quietly for Pan Hong to finish reading.

Gong Ping thought he would wait for a while.

But I didn't expect that only a few minutes had passed.

Pan Hong's face revealed a hint of excitement, mixed with shock and disbelief.

"Academician Wang, is this true?"

"It's only been a few days, and you've already completed this design plan?"

"It's simply incredible. Although I can't be sure yet, judging from the little data in this document, it has surpassed the current prototype."

"It is an amazing design that can use Neural Ordinary Differential Equations to solve time series modeling problems."

"That's great! I never thought of this kind of use for Bayesian networks. This is really eye-opening."

"Sure enough, letting Academician Wang join our research was the best decision I have ever made."

Pan Hong looked excited and kept praising Wang Donglai.

Gong Ping also heard some key words from Pan Hong's words.

Bayesian networks, Neural ODEs, SVD of matrix decomposition...

Considering Pan Hong's scientific research tasks, Gong Ping was completely clear about it.

The document that Wang Donglai just took out should be a design plan for a quantum computer.

And we can also get some information from Pan Hong's exclamation.

The plan designed by Wang Donglai should be extremely excellent.

Thinking this in his mind, Gong Ping didn't feel that surprised.

but.

Just as Gong Ping was thinking this, a flash of inspiration came into his mind and he realized something was wrong.

"If this design was designed by Academician Wang, he wouldn't have to come up with it so specially."

Thinking this in my mind, I recalled what Wang Donglai had said before.

A bold guess emerged in Gong Ping's mind.

At this time, Pan Hong finally calmed down.

Although on the surface Pan Hong is no longer as excited as before, if you look closely, you can see a hint of excitement and anticipation deep in Pan Hong's eyes.

"Academician Wang, I thought one month was too short a time, so I was planning to take some time to persuade you."

"But now that I've seen this design, I realize that I was looking at the world from a narrow perspective."

"Although I have always said that I have great faith in Academician Wang's scientific research ability, I have not shown that I have that trust." "And now, this design proposal is the best response."

"May I ask how many superconducting qubits can be manipulated by the quantum computer designed by Academician Wang?"

After Pan Hong finished speaking, he looked at Wang Donglai expectantly, waiting for an answer.

Unexpectedly, Wang Donglai shook his head.

"Academician Pan, you are wrong."

“This design proposal is not up to standard in my opinion.”

"There is still a lot of room for improvement in many areas, such as adjusting the algorithm system, which can improve the error correction problem to a higher level."

"According to my estimation, the current design can only manipulate about thirty superconducting quantum bits."

There was an exclamation in the conference room.

"what?"

“Thirty superconducting qubits?”

Pan Hong stood up from the sofa.

"This is not allowed..."

Pan Hong swallowed the word "can" that was about to come out of his mouth with great difficulty.

Although in Pan Hong's heart, he always believed that Wang Donglai's joining would improve the performance of quantum computers.

However, in his mind, this improvement was only ten, about twelve or thirteen.

Moreover, the progress was mainly due to Wang Donglai’s mathematical talent, which enabled him to iteratively improve the error correction problem.

Unexpectedly, Wang Donglai directly released a super large satellite.

He actually said that the design plan in his hand has reached the level of thirty superconducting quantum bits.

This level of improvement far exceeded Pan Hong's psychological endurance.

So, it is like this at this moment.

"Academician Wang, you said that this design can control thirty superconducting quantum bits?"

Pan Hong didn't know what he was feeling at the moment.

I asked again subconsciously.

Wang Donglai remained very calm and nodded in acknowledgement.

"Yes!"

Pan Hong was in a daze for a moment, then he immediately reacted and said loudly: "Since Academician Wang has completed the design, let's start manufacturing and assembling it immediately. I can't wait to see the quantum computer with this design appear."

"If we can really reach this level, we will be far ahead of the world."

"No, even if it doesn't reach this level and shrinks to a certain extent, it will still be far ahead of the world."

"Academician Wang, this..."

Even Gong Ping could see that Pan Hong was a little too excited at the moment.

At this moment, he felt no worse than Pan Hong.

However, he and Pan Hong have different focuses.

Pan Hong focuses on the design of quantum computers.

And he focused his attention on the artificial intelligence Wa.

At this time, Wang Donglai looked at Pan Hong who was a little excited, and said, "Academician Pan, I have already said that this is an incomplete design plan."

"A lot of the work was done with the help of my smart assistant Wa, so I had to conduct a more rigorous review."

"Moreover, in my opinion, it is only 30 superconducting quantum bits. Although it has exceeded the current global record, we are not developing technology to break the record or compete with other laboratories."

"So, I will not bring out this design plan at this time."

"Finally, there is another reason, which is the one month I mentioned before. Now it has not come yet, and I can still optimize and iterate based on this design."

Wang Donglai's tone was calm, but his attitude was extremely serious.

After hearing what Wang Donglai said, Pan Hong gradually calmed down and regained his rationality.

"Academician Wang, what you said makes a lot of sense."

"But you may not understand how shocking this design is to people like us."

"In the field of quantum computers, I can boast without hesitation that our team is definitely the most advanced in the country."

"Originally, we thought that the prototype we developed had reached the world's leading level with ten superconducting quantum bits."

"When we were immersed in this atmosphere, it was Academician Wang's words that woke us up."

"Research on quantum computers is being conducted in various countries. No one knows whether other laboratories have achieved technological breakthroughs. It is just that they have been kept secret for the sake of confidentiality."

"We only improved two superconducting quantum bits based on the Bald Eagle Federation, and that was seventeen months later."

“No one knows whether the Bald Eagle Federation has made more technological breakthroughs and developed more advanced quantum computers in the past seventeen months.”

"Now, after seeing Academician Wang's design plan, I am completely relieved."

"Thirty superconducting quantum bits are absolutely at the world's leading level."

"I still have this confidence!"

"At the same time, I can see that this design plan is definitely a very rigorous and qualified one."

"If this design is presented, I think those who previously questioned and doubted Academician Wang will be silenced."

"As for the others, I'm afraid they can't wait to stay in the laboratory day and night to build this quantum computer as soon as possible."

"After all, it has taken so long to conduct research, and everyone has invested so much effort in this project. We can't wait to see some breakthroughs."

Pan Hong spoke with such sincerity that Wang Donglai was no longer as calm and composed as before.

"Academician Pan, I can understand what you said."

"Your team has indeed made considerable contributions to this project and has worked hard for the development of quantum computer technology in my country. Although I have only been in contact with them for a short time, I can feel this."

“I will not hide it from Academician Pan. My goal is to design a quantum computing prototype that can manipulate 100 superconducting qubits.”

"According to my calculations, only when this level is reached will quantum computers have preliminary application value."

“Everyone says quantum computers are more advanced and once developed, they will change people’s lives.”

"We are researchers. Academician Pan, how long do you think it will take for quantum computers to achieve this?"

Without waiting for Pan Hong to answer, Wang Donglai continued: "If a new technology cannot be put into production quickly, it is difficult to say that it represents advancedness."

"The R&D investment for quantum computers is huge, and Academician Pan should be very clear about this. If there is no research funding from above, I'm afraid it would be difficult for this project to get support from enterprises."

"But if quantum computers have a certain level of practical application capabilities, I think this situation will change."

"Large-scale investment will only put our quantum computer industry on the right track and make it better." (End of this chapter)
