Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

What if the power is not attenuated during transmission?

What if a computer has exponential speed and perfect precision?

On this issue, Duncan Haldane Professor once gave a standard answer. And in the fall of 2016, the Physics and two other companions won the Nobel Physics Award this year for “discovering the topological phase transitions and topological phases of matter!”

In short, they have discovered through rigorous experiments that even the smallest microscopic materials can exhibit macroscopic properties and have topological phases.

This sounds a bit difficult to understand, and if you want to understand it, you have to understand the concept of topology.

It is well known that the way that mathematics homes look at problems is often different from the average person. They are often used to seeing the essence through phenomena. The topology is such a subject, which studies some properties that the geometry or space can remain unchanged after continuously changing the shape.

One of the most classic examples shows that for a topologist, donuts and coffee cups look the same because they all have a hole.

Because there is only one hole, you can turn the doughnut into a coffee cup through a smooth deformation process, and the reverse is the same… even though this may seem incomprehensible or even inexplicable in the eyes of ordinary people, in fact, because This mathematics method has already found a lot of interesting things in other areas of the Scholar.

Especially in the field of physics and materials, many of the amazing discoveries of the 1980s were derived from topological methods and provided the theoretical basis.

It’s just that people have been accustomed to applying topology to solve the problem of macroscopic world, but whether topology can be used for subatomic particles such as electrons and photons.

Because they are all affected by the strange laws of quantum Physics, their size, position and even shape are in an uncertain state.

However, the Nobel Physics Award in 16 gave a positive answer to this proposition.

Even the subatoms of these microscopic Worlds are subject to topological characteristics!

This theory obviously has no effect on the daily livelihood, but for the field of electronic engineering, it really opens the door to the new World!

In the wonderful quantum world, these properties exhibit amazing stability and some remarkable properties at a particular stage of matter. The most typical example of this is the topological insulator.

In particular, this property found in graphene materials directly led to the birth of SG-1 superconducting materials and carbon-based microchips.

At the same time, this property also promotes the study of quantum computing.

According to the principle of quantum computers, the main reason is that the subatomic particles can be in different states at the same time, and the information is stored in a qubit. It is also because of this characteristic that quantum computers can solve problems exponentially compared to traditional computers.

The problem, however, is that the subatomic particles that store the data are very fragile, and unlike a stable atom, even a slight disturbance can change its state.

That is, the so-called “decoherence” in quantum mechanics – any environmental influence can lead to the collapse of the entangled state of the qubit!

If you want to solve the problem, either noise reduction, anti-interference, or both, no matter which technical route you take, you must stabilize the subatomic particles.

This is also one of the core challenges in the development of quantum computers.

It is also a topic that Lu Zhou has been studying these days…

Nanjing Institute of Advanced Studies, laboratory of underground 3-Layer.

The empty room that was originally used as an alternate sample room is now being filled with a lot of newly purchased equipment.

These include multi-functional physical measurement system, step meter, vibration sample magnetometer, high and low temperature magnetoresistance tester, and in-situ freeze dryer, etc. Although it is not a luxury of the lineup, it can be said that the sparrow is small. Everything is complete.

In addition, in addition to these equipment essential for the study of carbon materials, there is also a light-curing 8D printer with the highest precision up to 3 micron, which is mainly used to print plastic molds used in experiments.

A thumb-sized film was carefully placed in a magnetron sputtering atomic layer deposition apparatus. Lu Zhou carefully set new experimental parameters on the computer against the data on the experimental table.

After doing all this work, he finally relaxed, and knocked the Enter button on the keyboard.

The green signal lights up and the equipment in the lab is running.

Taking the coffee back to the office chair next to it, Lu Zhou glanced at the watch and was thinking about what to use to boring for a while, when the Xiao AI controlled the drone from the side.

Xiao AI: [Master owner! Just in the moment! A super surprise happened! Φ(≧ω≦*)?]

The line of sight was focused in the air half a meter before the small TV. Lu Zhou lifted his eyelids and said something accidentally.

“Are you upgrading?”

Xiao AI : [诶? Do you know? ! Σ(°△°—)_]

Lu Zhou: “…”

Is this guy upgraded or downgraded…

In the mind sighed, Lu Zhou ignored it and closed his eyes into the system space.

Science and Technology branch As a branch of the system mission, the artificial intelligence’s experience accumulation and Informative Science experience are synchronized. Just as the level of Xiao AI rose to LV4, his Informative Science rating was also upgraded from LV4 to LV5.

At the moment of the upgrade, even if you don’t enter the system space, you can see the dialog box prompting…

[…]

[G.Informative Science: LV5 (0/30 million)]

After confirming the attribute panel after the change, Lu Zhou thoughtfully touched the chin.

Sure enough, as he speculated, the progress of the progress bar can be accelerated by observing the player’s various behaviors in the virtual reality world. In other words, the fact that the artificial intelligence branch needs the experience is actually a sociological experience?

However, Lu Zhou now has not much thought on Xiao AI. After entering the system space, he just took a look at his own attribute panel and the progress bar of the Science and Technology branch, and then turned his consciousness back to the real world.

Open your eyes and see that the small TV staring at the four-rotor has been shaking in front of him for a long time.

Xiao AI: [Master Master, don’t you boast about Xiao AI? (*/ω*)]

Lu Zhou: “Well, it’s beautiful.”

Xiao AI: [Good perfunctory! QAQ]

“…the time seems to be almost the same.”

Pretending not to see the dialog on the small TV, Lu Zhou looked down at the time on the watch and whispered to himself.

As if to confirm his sentence, not far from the instrument, the signal light jumped from green to red.

Upon seeing, Lu Zhou was immediately ordered.

“Xiao AI, open the in-situ freeze dryer.”

Xiao AI : [Received! (○`3’○)]

Although extremely reluctant, Xiao AI is still obedient.

Just don’t know if it is his illusion. I always feel that the reaction of this little guy seems to be more and more emotional… or in other words, more and more like a person?

Lu Zhou also said that this is not a good thing.

After all, the way artificial intelligence processes information and the human brain are completely different sets of rules. One is that logic determines emotions, and the other is that emotions dominate logic.

Maybe its existence will give birth to a brand new species, maybe?

Of course, it is too early to say this now.

As its “guardian”, Lu Zhou can only say that he has fulfilled his responsibilities and took a step by step.

At least in terms of current performance, the little guy is quite well-behaved. He plays the role of a small assistant in both the livelihood and the research, and he is absolutely obedient to his orders.

My own worry seems to be a bit redundant?

With the help of Xiao AI, Lu Zhou transferred the sample from the magnetron sputtering atomic layer deposition equipment to the in-situ freeze dryer, lyophilized the carbon-based microchip sample, and then applied the film to the film by means of a metallographic microscope. The microchip was carefully observed and the experimental data was recorded on the side of the book.

Now he has more than 30,000 integrals. According to the price code of the system, it is necessary to exchange a full set of quantum computer technology for 120,000 integrals.

In reality, however, this valuation actually contains a lot of water.

If the problem is split, based on the problems that have been solved by the academic community, unresolved problems are raised, and the consumed integral can be reduced by 80% or even 80% or more!

So far, he has spent 20,000 integrals to overcome several key bottlenecks in the study, and the rest is his understanding of carbon materials, Mote insulators, and Mayorana Fermion. By consulting some of the research results of predecessors, and on the basis of some of the promotional work done.

For example, a topological insulator carbon material containing Majorana fermions, and a layer of monoatomic width superconductors superimposed thereon without affecting the stability of the Mayorana fermions.

Subatoms can be protected in this particular topological phase material.

In other words, the qubits formed under this topological phase do not change due to some small or local interference. It is far more stable than normal qubits, allowing our quantum calculations to handle the answers we want in a more precise and efficient way.

At least these work saved Lu Zhou’s massive thousand integral.

It is these jobs that give him the opportunity to use integral in the blade.

This is also a manifestation of the phrase “knowledge is power.”

Carefully completed the final step of all the test work, Lu Zhou placed a thin, flap-like translucent graphene sheet on a pre-prepared circuit mold.

It was like looking at a perfect piece of art, and his face showed a sincere smile.

“The performance tests are in line with expectations.”

“The sale is also impeccable and perfect!”

“…and surely the Mayorana Fermi son is the perfect choice for making quantum computers!”

The rest is to verify the efforts of these days, and the 20,000 integral he spent, is worth it.

When the power button was pressed, Lu Zhou’s heart almost mentioned the blind eye.

Almost a moment.

At the same time that he pressed the button, the pre-programmed program was run on this film. The signal processed and output by the logic circuit is transmitted to the display screen, and a clear line of characters is quickly displayed on the display screen –

[Hello World]

Looking at the characters beating on the screen, Lu Zhou suddenly felt a joy, his fists clenched, and he almost didn’t get excited.

“Successful!”

Subconsciously shouted out the excitement in my heart, and as a result, Lu Zhou was shocked by her own behavior, and quickly checked the operation of the equipment.

When seeing this layer of “thin film”-like microchip running stably, and not because of the cheer of more than eighty decibels, “Lumber’s face entangled,” Lu Zhou’s face finally revealed his heartfelt and reassuring. Smile.

It seems this time…

It is really!
