Academicians of major countries start from top students

Finally, after systematic testing, the comprehensive performance of the Jiuzhang-6 superconducting quantum computer was determined.

In addition to having millions of quantum bits, the error correction is also at a reasonable level.

It has already met the requirements of a theoretical quantum computer.

As the complete report came out, everyone on the scene was immersed in great joy, some even looked a little dazed, unable to believe that the upgraded and optimized Chapter 9 could unleash such great potential.

After coming to his senses, the gaze he looked at Xu Yuan became even more passionate.

It took only a few months to complete the upgrade of Jiuzhang, and the performance was improved by up to a hundred times.

I can only say that he is truly worthy of being the country's pillar.

Well-deserved chief.

While everyone was celebrating, Pan Xianfeng came to Xu Yuan, with a rare look of embarrassment on his face, "Chief Xu, thank you so much for your help this time, otherwise the 'Nine Chapters' would have been lost in our hands." While speaking, he was extremely glad for his previous decision.

It was right to invite Xu Yuan to come and give us guidance.

Otherwise, if Chapter 9-5 is really released directly, it would be a waste of room-temperature superconducting materials.

Even with tens of thousands of quantum bits, there is no rival.

"What Dean Pan said is serious. It is a good thing for the country to have a real quantum computer." Xu Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile.

Pan Xianfeng nodded vigorously: "That's right."

At the same time, an expression of excitement reappeared on his face.

Previously, he had been in shock, somewhat at a loss for words because of the surprise brought by Chapter 9-6. Now that he had calmed down, he had thought about the far-reaching impact that the advent of quantum computers could have on the country and even the world.

Subconsciously, I started to imagine it uncontrollably.

The scene of future technological explosion flashed quickly through my mind.

After a brief pause, he raised his gaze again, looked at Xu Yuan and said, "There is one more thing. Now that the 'Jiuzhang' has been successfully upgraded, I would like to reconvene the Global Quantum Computing Conference. I hope you can attend then."

"Has the date been set?" Xu Yuan thought for a moment and asked.

Pan Xianfeng immediately replied: "Any time."

Now that Jiuzhang has achieved such great results, it will definitely convene a quantum computing conference again to announce this news to the world.

Let everyone know who is carrying the heavy burden for the development of human civilization.

However, Xu Yuan helped so much in the upgrade of Chapter 9, it would be inappropriate if he did not attend.

Therefore, the specific time of the conference is not decided by him.

Instead, we have to adapt to Xu Yuan's arrangements.

To be honest, Xu Yuan was not very interested in this global quantum computing conference. He didn't care whether he went or not.

After all, the quantum computer upgrade has been completed, and he doesn't need to worry about the rest.

His focus in the future will still be on the Journey starship.

This is related to whether humans can truly leave the earth in the future.

But faced with Pan Xianfeng's sincere invitation, after a little thought, he agreed.

"Then let's put it at the beginning of next month."

"No problem, we'll start arranging it right away." Pan Xianfeng's face lit up when he heard that, and he quickly made the decision.

……

Obviously, Pan Xianfeng also knew how precious Xu Yuan's time was.

After the test, the quantum computing conference began immediately.

This time, special publicity was also carried out.

It can be said that in the afternoon of that day, the news about the re-convening of the Global Quantum Computing Conference had already topped the hot search lists of major platforms, especially the announcement that a new generation of domestically-produced superconducting quantum computers would be officially released.

It quickly aroused heated discussion among netizens, and they began to speculate.

“After being postponed for several months, it is going to be held again. I wonder who will be able to achieve quantum supremacy this time.”

"Laboratories in various countries have been competing for the research of superconducting quantum computers. However, since we took the initiative to convene this meeting, I think there must be new progress in the research of domestic superconducting quantum computers."

“It’s definitely stable.”

"Isn't it possible that we are going to witness history again?"

"Several quantum laboratories overseas should not be underestimated. I heard that the number of quantum bits they have exceeded 1,000."

"We have room-temperature superconducting materials, so it will be no problem to upgrade quantum computers."

"It's a pity that Chief Xu is still in charge of the Zhengtu spacecraft. Otherwise, the quantum computer would have been completely solved long ago, and there would be no need for the small-scale efforts like now."

"There's nothing we can do. After all, Chief Xu is just one person and his energy is definitely limited."

……

Compared with the discussions among domestic netizens, when the news spread overseas, many people felt relieved.

Among them is International Business Machines Corporation.

Professor Peter, head of its quantum laboratory, publicly stated that he would go to Luyang to attend the conference with his company's latest research and development results.

Originally they were a little worried.

Fearing that the Global Quantum Computing Conference will be extended too long.

It is possible that China may be able to develop a more advanced quantum computer using room-temperature superconducting materials.

By then, there would be no need to mention their Osprey.

But now, only a few months have passed, and we still have enough confidence in our own products.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

With the emergency preparation of the Quantum Innovation Institute and the support of the Academy of Sciences, the Global Quantum Computing Conference was successfully held. In addition to well-known experts and scholars in the quantum field, more than 100 quantum computing companies and laboratories around the world attended the conference.

12 month 4 day.

on Tuesday.

3pm.

The venue was packed with people working in the field of quantum computing from all over the world.

And journalists from world-renowned media newspapers.

As the nominal leader of the conference, Pan Xianfeng was the first to go on stage to deliver a speech, followed by representatives from overseas company laboratories who gave speeches to share their own developments.

Xu Yuan sat in the first row of the audience, just an ordinary audience member.

There is no plan to show up.

But even so, some people in the back row couldn't help but wonder.

"Professor Peter, Chief Xu is also attending the conference. Could it be that he has interfered with the quantum computer project?"

"This is not good news."

Meister took out his reading glasses and put them on to make sure he had not seen the wrong person. He suddenly felt worried and whispered to Peter beside him.

The purpose of their attendance at the conference this time is to make public the research results of their own "Osprey" superconducting quantum computer, to achieve quantum supremacy, and to let everyone know that China is not leading in every field.

Even if it's only temporary.

But seeing Xu Yuan also here, their confidence in their own products seemed insufficient.

Everyone knows that if Xu Yuan gets involved in the quantum computer project, there will be no rival in the world.

By then, their quantum computers will become a joke.

After hearing what Meister said, Peter's face became a little uncertain.

But since we have already arrived at the conference, no matter what the result is, we must just proceed step by step.

When he figured this out, he comforted Meister, "It's unlikely. The interstellar spacecraft is a project for all mankind. He can't possibly have the energy to meddle with quantum computers."

You should know that the more epoch-making the project is, the more time and energy you need to invest in the research and development process.

After listening to everything Peter said, Meister didn't say anything more.

I had to suppress this worry.

I pray that my Osprey will make a big splash at today's conference.

that's it.

As the conference progressed, representatives from companies like Google and Cambridge Quantum Computing shared the latest developments on their own quantum computers.

However, even the best superconducting quantum computers only have two or three hundred quantum bits.

This made Peter and Meister, who were sitting in the audience, subconsciously straighten their chests, and the confidence that they had lost returned to them.

After all, the number of quantum bits in their Osprey quantum computer has exceeded four digits.

Among a group of three-digit numbers, wouldn’t it be a kill?

But they did not notice that Pan Xianfeng and other staff members of the Quantum Innovation Institute sitting in the front row always had calm smiles on their faces and applauded every representative from the bottom of their hearts.

No matter how you look at it, he seems to be confident.

Soon, it was the turn of the representative from IBM to take the stage.

Amidst warm applause from the audience, Peter stood up and adjusted his suit in front of the camera.

Then he walked towards the stage.

“I am honored to be here, to attend the Global Quantum Computing Conference, and to make a contribution to the research of quantum computing for mankind.”

"What we bring to you today is a new generation of Osprey superconducting quantum computer."

……

After Peter finished his opening remarks, he directly talked about his company's latest quantum computer research results, and in the following time, he spent a lot of time talking about the new generation of Osprey.

As for the actual parameters, he deliberately kept it a secret for the time being.

Only when everyone's attention was completely attracted did he announce the answer with a smile.

"Thanks to the joint efforts of our researchers, the number of controllable quantum bits of the Osprey superconducting quantum computer has now exceeded four digits and is moving towards the goal of two thousand."

"in addition."

"The error correction capability of Osprey has not been affected by the increase in the number of quantum bits."

Almost at the moment when Peter finished his last sentence, many people in the audience showed surprise on their faces, most of whom were representatives of company laboratories who had just finished their speeches.

Originally, everyone was competing in the three-digit track, so no matter how much more or less it was, at least it was within an acceptable range.

As a result, a four-digit number suddenly appeared.

One can imagine the mood.

"They have actually achieved the goal of thousands of qubits, which is several times more than ours."

"What an unexpected news!"

“This should be the most advanced quantum computing in the world.”

"The international impact of commercial machines being able to achieve this kind of results is beneficial to us."

When the voices of everyone's discussions in the meeting room reached the ears of Peter and Meister, the confidence on their faces became more and more full, as if they had completely forgotten their previous worries.

At the same time, what happened at the conference was also broadcast live, which surprised the netizens in the live broadcast room.

But I don’t know if it’s because of Xu Yuan’s presence, but everyone just felt extra safe and secure.

I don't think Osprey will really become the world's most advanced quantum computer.

"The number of quantum bits has already exceeded four digits, which feels pretty strong."

“What a pleasant surprise.”

"This is a good thing. At least it shows that our research on quantum computers is making progress."

"If this continues, quantum computing will soon be available."

"My advice is don't rush. Our quantum computer hasn't been officially unveiled yet. If it weren't for the fact that it was very powerful, I'm afraid Chief Xu wouldn't even come to participate."

"Hearing you say that, I'm already looking forward to it."

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

Just as netizens analyzed, after Peter finished his speech and stepped down from the stage and several representatives came on stage, the content of today's conference finally came to the highlight.

Finally, it was the turn of the Quantum Innovation Institute to take the stage.

Pan Xianfeng had asked Xu Yuan for his opinion in advance and learned that the other party had no intention of going on stage, so he had to announce Chapter 9, Number 6 himself.

When Pan Xianfeng walked onto the stage, everyone in the audience raised their heads and focused their attention.

The same is true for media reporters.

Since the advent of controlled nuclear fusion, China has achieved world unity with its aerospace fighters and aerospace carriers. Compared with others, people have more expectations for China's scientific research results.

I want to see whether China is really confident in its own products by taking the initiative to hold a quantum computing conference, or whether it will ultimately serve as a wedding dress for the Osprey, a commercial machine.

At this moment, Peter Meister in the audience became nervous.

I don’t know what the final outcome will be.

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for gathering here today to attend the Global Quantum Computing Conference and work together for humanity's research in the field of quantum computing."

……

"Next..."

The familiar opening remarks came out of Pan Xianfeng's mouth, and after almost two minutes, the content finally got to the point.

"I have something happy to share with you. Our Jiuzhang superconducting quantum computer has been fully upgraded under the guidance of Chief Xu."

"The number of quantum bits in the new Jiuzhang superconducting quantum computer has exceeded one million."

“Having true quantum computing capabilities.”

"And the quantum bits are balanced and do not affect each other."

If Professor Peter's words just now surprised everyone, then now there was complete silence.

Everyone at the scene was completely stunned after hearing that number.

It was like being hit on the back of the head.

The brain briefly shuts down.

After being stunned for two or three seconds, when my thoughts came back to my senses, a lot of question marks emerged in my mind.

What did I hear?
With millions of qubits!

How can this be.

Previously, people's understanding of superconducting quantum computers was still limited to a few hundred quantum bits. Even if the commercial Osprey machine jumps out of the track and breaks through the number of quantum bits to four digits, it is at least still within an acceptable range.

But now directly throwing out a number in the millions is equivalent to turning the table over.

Naturally, it will make people feel surprised.

Among them, Professor Peter couldn't control his emotions and subconsciously stood up and shouted:
"That's impossible. Even if there are room-temperature superconducting materials, research on superconducting quantum computers won't be so fast."

Although he had anticipated that his own Osprey might be surpassed by China's quantum computer, this chasm-like gap was still hard to accept.

Not only Professor Peter, but other overseas experts at the scene were also talking about it at this moment.

I can hardly believe that there really is a quantum computer with millions of quantum bits.

And it can also ensure normal error correction.

No malfunction occurs.

What was different from the atmosphere on site was that at this moment in the live broadcast room, netizens had already excitedly cheered and celebrated.

"Oh my god, this is amazing."

"It really made millions, did I hear it right?"

“This is a real quantum computer!”

“I thought the Quantum Innovation Institute had a good shot, but I didn’t expect it to have a trump card that is as powerful as controlled nuclear fusion.”

"Now those overseas companies and laboratories must be shocked."

"If we could have a true quantum computer, it would have an impact comparable to nuclear fusion."

"It turned out that Chief Xu gave us the guidance. It's all right now."

"This is what we call the value of a chief position."

……

For them, if it were just the quantum computer developed by the Quantum Innovation Institute, they might be skeptical and surprised before seeing conclusive evidence.

After all, the shock brought by a quantum computer with a million quantum bits is indeed too great.

But if Xu Yuan is in it, then it would be normal.

It is probably like this that a person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree.

Just as netizens said, as a globally recognized chief scientist of human civilization, Xu Yuan should be able to study quantum computers.

At the moment, although Pan Xianfeng at the scene was unaware of the discussions on the Internet, he remained calm in the face of doubts.

There was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Obviously, what is happening now was anticipated.

So after the scene calmed down again, he raised his hand and continued speaking in a calm tone.

"I know that everyone has a lot of questions at the moment, so we specially brought the 'Jiuzhang' superconducting quantum computer to the conference."

As soon as he finished speaking, a staff member came on stage and quickly removed a cover next to it, revealing the latest research results of the Quantum Innovation Institute behind it.

Chapter 9, number 6.

At this time, the advantages of room-temperature superconducting materials are once again highlighted. Because there is no need to freeze the core to an extremely low temperature, the computer becomes lightweight and relatively easy to move.

Although it cannot be compared with traditional computers, it is far superior to other quantum computers.

When other people at the scene saw Chapter 9 No. 6, they were completely attracted and couldn't take their eyes off him.

Because this is the first time they have seen a quantum computer of this shape.

Completely different from the styling with the iconic low-temperature refrigeration system.

While marveling at the power of room-temperature superconducting materials, a thought came to my mind.

“Does this quantum computer really have millions of qubits?”

Pan Xianfeng noticed everyone's performance and was very satisfied with their reactions.

Then people were allowed to experience quantum computing firsthand to prove that this was a true superconducting quantum computer with millions of quantum bits.

Those who are able to come here and attend this quantum computing conference are undoubtedly the best experts in this field.

Now that quantum computers have been brought up, it is easy to judge how powerful they are. At least in this area, their professionalism is unquestionable.

But everyone, including Professor Peter and Meister, became more and more shocked after studying Chapter 9-6. Even though they still couldn't believe the fact, they had to admit that the Chinese side had indeed successfully developed a true superconducting quantum computer.

"Oh my God, this is actually true."

"This is a true quantum computer, and it can solve a lot of things for us."

"This is really exciting news. Humankind will soon usher in an era of technological explosion."

"I am convinced that I lost."

"The development of human civilization is indeed inseparable from the guidance of the Chinese side."

As the excited and shocked voices rang out one after another, there was no need to continue with the rest of the conference. Everyone was attracted by the charm of Chapter 9 No. 6.

Even Peter and the others, after recognizing the reality, chose to accept it all calmly.

Although their Osprey superconducting quantum computer failed to achieve global leadership, being able to see the emergence of a true quantum computer can make up for the regret in their hearts.

-

As this incident continued to ferment across the entire network, the Quantum Innovation Institute soon issued a new announcement.

This means that laboratories and universities around the world can apply to use Jiuzhang No. 6 after passing the review.

Once this news was released, the popularity exploded again.

After all, in the research of many projects, if quantum computers can be used for calculation and error debugging, the research and development progress will undoubtedly be accelerated a lot.

Get twice the result with half the effort.

This is also the reason why it is said that quantum computers can bring about a technological explosion in human civilization.

However, China has priority in the application for Jiuzhang No. 6.

In addition, overseas project plans must be submitted in advance.

Although some laboratories were dissatisfied with such regulations, they did not dare to say anything more.

It's because they themselves have no way of developing a true superconducting quantum computer.

It would be even more troublesome if they were directly banned from using it.

While the world was discussing the Jiuzhang-6 superconducting quantum computer, Xu Yuan, who had hidden his achievements and fame, had already returned to the Zhengtu interstellar spacecraft manufacturing base.

The accidental development of a quantum computer will certainly be of great help to the interstellar spacecraft project.

The manufacturing cycle can be shortened to a certain extent.

Based on this incident, Xu Yuan also needs to discuss with He Luping and Wood to make appropriate modifications to the existing manufacturing plan.

It is also worth mentioning that at the end of the month, the Academy of Sciences also launched a new project.

The core content is about the research, development and upgrading of space robots.

It is planned that after the Zhengtu interstellar spacecraft is completed, a large number of space robots will be transported to the moon, and with the support of nuclear fusion and quantum computers, the robots will perform various tasks such as base construction and resource mining.

If the latter plan is effectively verified, it can even be applied to Mars.

Launch a program to transform Mars.

As various tasks were carried out in an orderly manner and time passed, the Journey interstellar spacecraft that everyone was looking forward to gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.
