Academicians of major countries start from top students

Faced with such a discovery, Xu Yuan was undoubtedly very surprised.

He knew exactly what this meant.

Relying on the advent of room-temperature superconducting materials, the Quantum Innovation Institute has successfully developed the Jiuzhang-5 quantum computer and increased the number of quantum bits to tens of thousands of five digits. Looking around the world, this can be called an astonishing achievement.

However, if Jiuzhang No. 5 is further optimized, the number of quantum bits can continue to increase.

Then perhaps, it will be possible to build a true quantum computer.

It will play a vital role in the future development of science and technology of human civilization.

Achieve a technological explosion.

If he hadn't thought too much about it at the beginning, and just followed Pan Xianfeng's normal guidance, then after noticing the changes in the progress bar on the panel and determining that Jiuzhang No. 5 still had a lot of room for optimization, he decided to take the matter seriously.

Spend more time in Luyang.

Start optimizing things.

Anyway, at the manufacturing base, the design plan of the Zhengtu interstellar spacecraft has been finalized.

All we need to do is develop, develop and manufacture according to the plan step by step.

With the presence of Academician He Luping and Professor Wood, there shouldn't be any problems in the short term, so he can free up his hands to upgrade Chapter 9-5.

A large number of thoughts flashed through my mind quickly and finally stayed here.

Then I temporarily came out of my deep learning state, and as soon as I raised my eyes, I was greeted by several faces looking at me eagerly.

"How about it, can 'Chapter 9-5' be further upgraded?"

"Chief Xu."

Pan Xianfeng took the lead and stepped forward, asking impatiently without waiting for Xu Yuan to answer.

As a researcher in the quantum field for so many years, for Pan Xianfeng, the Jiuzhang-5 quantum computer is like his child. Naturally, he hopes that his child can be better.

Even if there is only a small chance.

Next to them, several other researchers who participated in this project did not speak directly like Pan Xianfeng, but their facial expressions could not lie.

Obviously, everyone is very concerned about this matter.

Xu Yuan must understand Pan Xianfeng's performance.

After looking at him, he replied with a smile on his face: "Based on the current situation of 'Jiuzhang No. 5', I do have some ideas for upgrading and optimizing it. Perhaps the number of quantum bits that can be controlled by the computer can reach a new peak." This was a reassurance to everyone present.

really.

When Pan Xianfeng heard the news, an expression of surprise instantly appeared on his face.

"That's great."

"When we were developing 'Jiu Zhang Wu', I often told them that a project without your participation, Chief Xu, would be doomed to be imperfect."

He spoke with a smile in front of everyone, without hiding his respect and admiration for Xu Yuan.

The others nodded in agreement, with smiles on their faces.

Originally, the Jiuzhang No. 5 quantum computer, as the world's first one that can control more than 10,000 quantum bits, has already occupied an irreplaceable position.

Now Xu Yuan is involved...

Maybe there is hope to achieve true quantum computing.

Just thinking about this, many people's breathing quickened.

Xu Yuan noticed everyone's expressions, and then reminded them, "But there is one thing I need to let you know. The upgrade and optimization of Jiuzhang-5 will probably not be very fast. So next month's Global Quantum Computing Conference..."

"It doesn't matter. We will notify everyone of the postponement right away." Pan Xianfeng answered before Xu Yuan could finish his words.

All was arranged with just one sentence.

I was afraid that because of the conference, Xu Yuan would have concerns about the upgrade of Jiuzhang No. 5.

After all, the purpose of convening this Global Quantum Computing Conference is to announce Chapter 9-5. Not to mention delaying it for a few months, it would be fine even if it was cancelled directly.

As long as it can make Chapter 9-5 even more powerful.

Moreover, announcing the new Chapter 9-5 to the world will surely have a better effect.

Pan Xianfeng didn't dare to waste time, and the next second he turned the topic back to business, "What should we do next? Chief Xu, please make the arrangements, and we will all cooperate unconditionally."

The voice just fell.

Several people nearby also quickly agreed.

"Dean Pan is right. Chief Xu, please assign us a task."

"Yes, Chief Xu."

"No matter how difficult the task is, there will be no hesitation."

Xu Yuan listened to everyone's words and a smile appeared on his face again.

Although he has some clear ideas that can increase the progress bar on the panel, it is obviously impossible for him alone to complete the upgrade and optimization of Jiuzhang No. 5 as soon as possible.

The research and development of science and technology always depends on collective strength.

So he had nothing to be restrained about. In the following time, he assigned tasks to Pan Xianfeng and others according to his own ideas.

Qin Ming, who watched the whole scene, looked at Xu Yuan with increasingly fiery eyes.

It was as if I had a completely new understanding of Xu Yuan.

He knew very well what a quantum computer with a number of quantum bits exceeding five digits meant. It would definitely be a dimensionality reduction blow to other quantum computing laboratories overseas.

After all, other laboratories are still stuck at three-digit quantum bits.

The two sides are not in the same league at all.

From this point of view alone, it is enough to imagine the complexity and difficulty of the technology contained in Jiuzhang No. 5.

It is such an existence. Xu Yuan only studied it for a short time before he concluded that it could be further upgraded.

And we have also come up with some preliminary feasible ideas.

It's simply beyond comprehension.

unimaginable.

You have to know that with Xu Yuan's achievements, no one would doubt the truth of this statement.

Since Xu Yuan said it, it must be certain.

No wonder Pan Xianfeng and others were so excited.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh: "I still have a lot to learn from Chief Xu!"

……

The next few days.

The staff of the Quantum Innovation Institute, who had not had time to relax, were once again thrown into intense and serious work under Xu Yuan's arrangement. However, instead of complaining, everyone's faces were even more focused than before.

Hold yourself to high standards.

The entire Quantum Innovation Institute is filled with a busy atmosphere.

In order to make Jiuzhang No. 5 as perfect as possible, Xu Yuan did not directly follow the previous ideas.

Instead, think divergently and try to find more feasible methods.

In the end, in addition to the optimization of the operating system, even the original design appearance of Jiuzhang No. 5 has changed, which requires everyone to invest more energy.

But no one questioned Xu Yuan's arrangement.

This actually made the upgrade of Chapter 9-5 go very smoothly.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Xu Yuan asked his assistant Qin Ming to participate in the project.

It's a chance for him to exercise.

But this kid gave him a lot of surprises.

In some places, several valuable suggestions were put forward.

at the same time.

The news of the postponement of the Global Quantum Computing Conference has also spread to every quantum computing laboratory, causing a lot of discussion.

Although the domestic situation is relatively calm and not many people seem to be discussing this matter, people overseas are getting a little restless. For some unknown reason, the Global Quantum Computing Conference has been decided to be postponed.

-

International Business Machines Corporation, headquartered in Armonk, is a well-deserved computer giant in the world.

In the company's strategic planning, quantum computers, which represent the future, will naturally not be ignored.

So they set up their own quantum computing lab.

And in the research of quantum computers, we have achieved very valuable results.

Due to China's Xuanniao unmanned air-space fighter and Kunlun aerospace carrier, the world situation has undergone earth-shaking changes and has stabilized in the form of the current world unity. Although they cannot conquer these two technologies, they also want to tell everyone in their own areas of expertise that advanced technology is not all in the hands of China.

At least in the field of quantum computers, they are leading.

The Global Quantum Computing Conference is undoubtedly the best publicity channel.

They can let the world know about their achievements in the field of quantum computers and announce their latest research results.

This matter was originally planned very well.

They have all responded and said they will attend on time.

As a result, before next month even arrived, the Quantum Innovation Institute announced that the conference had been postponed.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like it's deliberately targeting them.

"How did the other party explain why the conference was suddenly postponed?"

In the quantum laboratory of IBM, Professor Peter, with a bald head, asked the staff in front of him in a bad mood. From the expression on his face, he really cared about this matter.

"There is no clear explanation." The staff shook his head.

Professor Peter frowned: "Has the new date been set?"

“They said they would notify you later.”

In response to Professor Peter's question, the staff immediately gave an answer.

But Peter was obviously not satisfied with the result.

"They were clearly planning to hold the Global Quantum Computing Conference, but now they are suddenly postponing it. What do they mean by that?"

As the person in charge of the Osprey superconducting quantum computer, he is very satisfied with his work.

By using ordinary low-temperature superconducting materials, the Osprey superconducting quantum computer successfully broke through the four-digit number of quantum bits, reaching more than one thousand.

According to the quantum computers currently known in the world, their Osprey is undoubtedly the most advanced.

As the finale of the International Quantum Computing Conference, it is obviously the most appropriate.

Unfortunately, the current situation seems that the opponent does not want to give them the opportunity to show off.

At this time, Professor Meister, the deputy next to him, interrupted and said, "Maybe they knew about our new results in advance, so they delayed the convening of the conference."

"probably not."

Peter turned his head when he heard this, thought for a moment and said, "The other side has always focused on the military, and has not paid much attention to the field of quantum computing."

"How about we just announce it ourselves?" Meister suggested.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Peter shook his head and said, "The conference is only postponed, not cancelled. Announcing it on your own will not achieve the desired effect."

"really."

"Then let's wait a little longer." Meister agreed.

But then, Meister suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but voice out his concerns. "After all, they have room-temperature superconducting materials and have a natural advantage in the research of superconducting quantum computers. Is it possible that their research on superconducting quantum computers has surpassed ours?"

Meister's concerns are not unfounded.

Room-temperature superconducting materials are so special that controlled nuclear fusion has become a reality because of their existence.

If used in superconducting quantum computers, there will also be great progress.

If the other side has already developed a more advanced quantum computer, then they would only be embarrassed if they announced the Osprey at the conference.

Professor Peter has obviously thought about this problem as well.

But his expression did not show much emotion.

It means I am more confident.

After hearing these words, he answered immediately without hesitation.

"Room-temperature superconducting materials are indeed very powerful, but developing a quantum computer with more quantum bits is not an easy task, unless Chief Xu personally participates in the research."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"But it's clear that the other side's focus is on the space exploration alliance."

"So, I don't think the other side's superconducting quantum computer can surpass our Osprey."

Qubits are affected by the forces exerted by neighboring qubits, causing them to interfere with each other and cause the computer to malfunction.

Therefore, the difficulty brought about by each increase in the number of quantum bits possessed by a quantum computer is unimaginable.

The interference between adjacent quantum bits must be balanced.

If Xu Yuan participated in the research and development, he might believe that the other party could develop more advanced computers.

But right now, my confidence still lies in myself.

But when it comes to room-temperature superconducting materials, a hint of regret inevitably flashes in his eyes.

Although the current world situation is completely different from the past, it is still unlikely for other laboratories to obtain things like room-temperature superconducting materials.

Trying to synthesize it yourself is just a waste of time.

Therefore, it is just a luxury to use room-temperature superconducting materials to study superconducting quantum computers.

Even though he was very confident that if his own Osprey used room-temperature superconducting materials, the number of quantum bits it possessed could be increased several times, and it might even exceed 5,000.

Meister listened to all of Peter's words. Although he was still worried, he only moved his lips slightly in the end.

Didn't choose to continue.

Perhaps it is because Xu Yuan's current fame and prestige in the world is too great.

So much so that they ignored other Chinese scientists.

They believed that without Xu Yuan's project, it would be impossible to surpass them.

Of course, both Meister and Professor Peter knew that even if Osprey maintained the lead this time, it would not last long. After all, Xu Yuan would definitely not sit idly by at that time.

However, even if it is only at this quantum computing conference that they can announce to the world their leadership in the quantum field, it would be completely worth it.

that's it.

As the conversation between the two reached this point, neither side said anything more.

They all returned to their jobs and continued to optimize the error correction of the Osprey superconducting quantum computer.

We strive to give people all over the world a surprise when the Global Quantum Computing Conference is held.

……

Xu Yuan didn't know that other quantum laboratories overseas were already eyeing the Global Quantum Computing Conference.

During the period of time that followed, his mind was entirely focused on Chapter 9, Number 5.

Closely follow the upgrade progress of Jiuzhang.

Sometimes when we discover any problems, we will immediately find Pan Xianfeng to discuss and adjust them.

So the progress is moving forward very quickly.

no way.

Now they can easily mobilize global resources and use them solely for the manufacture of the new Chapter 9-5. The efficiency is definitely incomparable to before.

Therefore, it is expected that the upgrade of Jiuzhang No. 5 will be completed within this year.

The Global Quantum Computing Conference can also continue to be held at that time.

Also, over at the Zhengtu.

Xu Yuan did not completely ignore the matter and leave it all to He Luping and Professor Wood.

In addition to frequently holding online video conferences and listening to other people's progress reports on the Journey starship, he would occasionally return to the manufacturing base to actually investigate the situation.

The main thing is that even if it only takes a few months to upgrade Chapter 9-5, it is not a short time for Xu Yuan now.

I definitely can’t stay in Luyang forever.

All I can say is that there are still many places where he is needed right now.

Time flies and it is November.

Although the weather is getting cooler, it does not affect the enthusiasm of the researchers at the Quantum Innovation Institute.

2029 11 Month 22 Day.

Thursday.

Around ten o'clock in the morning.

All scientific researchers at the Quantum Innovation Institute gathered in a spacious research plant.

What appeared in their field of vision at this moment was a special device with a fairly regular shape, and several large screens were connected to it.

Yes.

What they saw was the upgraded Chapter 9-5.

Of course, strictly speaking, it should be called Chapter 9 No. 6.

Unlike the previous Jiuzhang No. 5, because Xu Yuan made new modifications to the design, the appearance has also undergone tremendous changes, and it looks more like a computer.

After several months of hard work, what they did finally bore fruit.

The upgrade of Jiuzhang No. 5 was completed successfully.

We are gathered here today to test the computing and error correction capabilities of the new Jiuzhang-6 superconducting quantum computer.

Although everyone absolutely believed in Xu Yuan and was certain that the upgraded No. 6 would outperform No. 5 in all aspects, the specific data was still unknown and it still needed to undergo systematic and detailed testing.

In addition, based on the test results, we can also further arrange the application areas of Chapter 9-6.

"Chief Xu."

"Everything is ready and can be tested at any time."

Pan Xianfeng was intentionally controlling his emotions at this time, and spoke to Xu Yuan beside him with a relatively calm expression.

In fact, I was already extremely excited.

I don’t know how well the Nine Chapter No. 6 can perform after being upgraded by Xu Yuan.

I believe that you will not be disappointed.

Not only him, but other researchers around him also breathed quickly, as if they were witnessing some historic moment.

Even Qin Ming, who was standing behind Xu Yuan, looked a little flushed.

Because of Xu Yuan, he was fortunate enough to participate in the upgrade of Jiuzhang No. 5 and made certain contributions.

Now that the results have been announced, it would be strange if I wasn't excited.

After all, he is only in his twenties.

When Xu Yuan heard Pan Xianfeng's words, he did not give any further instructions, but just nodded to show that he understood.

He also noticed the expressions of everyone around him.

I don't find this strange.

In other words, he had already seen that the value on the progress bar on the panel had already reached 100%, otherwise he would probably not be as calm as he is now.

The progress bar on the superconducting quantum computer has reached 100%, which only means one thing.

Research on superconducting quantum computers has been successful.

What is this concept?
It means that humans can truly use quantum computers to accelerate the development of various scientific and technological technologies.

It is no exaggeration to say that the impact of this on human civilization is probably not much less than that of actual controlled nuclear fusion.

The number of quantum bits that it can manipulate must have reached a terrifying number.

Pan Xianfeng could not wait any longer. At this point, he gave the order almost immediately.

"Turn it on."

As the command was given, the world's first true superconducting quantum computer officially started running. Unbeknownst to the others present, at this moment a new chapter in the progress of human civilization had already been opened.

When Jiuzhang No. 6 was successfully turned on, the personnel who had been prepared long ago began to use the independently developed and optimized quantum operating system to run it.

Evaluate the specific performance of Jiuzhang No. 6.

During this process, other people at the scene seemed to hold their breath, quietly waiting for the final result.

I don’t know if it was because of the atmosphere on the scene or if I was too excited, but even though I believed in Xu Yuan in my heart, I couldn’t help but get nervous at this moment.

Only Xu Yuan remained calm throughout the whole process.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but I saw one of the operators suddenly stood up, facing the direction of Xu Yuan and Pan Xianfeng, and reported quickly with a trembling voice.

"Chief Xu."

"Pan Yuan."

"The number of quantum bits in our Jiuzhang-6 superconducting quantum computer has exceeded one million."

"How much did you say?" Pan Xianfeng thought he had heard wrong and asked immediately.

Upon hearing this, the other party said firmly: "One million."

When this number reached the ears of everyone present, everyone was stunned.

They expected the number of qubits to be high, but they didn't expect it to be this high.

After Pan Xianfeng came to his senses, he felt more guilty.

He thought he was wasting the room-temperature superconducting material developed by Xu Yuan.

It is obvious that room-temperature superconducting materials can be used to make real quantum computers, but in the end, we only have tens of thousands of quantum bits.

The gap between him and Xu Yuan is a hundred times.

With great emotion in my heart, I couldn't help but shout: "This is the real quantum hegemony!"

At this moment, a smile finally appeared on Xu Yuan's face. Overall, he was quite satisfied with the result.

Because quantum computers on the million-level can already be considered as theoretical quantum computers, they can help scientific researchers accomplish many things.

However, in addition to quantum bits, error correction is also very important for quantum computers, which means whether the quantum bits can get rid of the influence of mutual interference.

The thought stayed here, and he immediately asked: "How does the computer perform in error correction?"

Pan Xianfeng immediately reacted to these words and also followed closely to show his concern for this matter.
