I really just want to be a scholar

More than two years ago, Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun led the team at the Qingning Quantum Computing Laboratory to develop the "Lingning Topological Superconducting Vortex State Theoretical Model System" theory. They also developed a method named "Ma "Yorana Fermion Carrier-Ling Ning Superconducting Material No. [-]" is a topological superconducting material. The combination of the two can achieve million-level highly fault-tolerant topological quantum computing.

However, the preparation of "Ling Ning Superconducting Material No. 1000" is extremely difficult. It can only be prepared under laboratory conditions, and it costs close to [-] million yuan to prepare one gram. Such a high cost cannot be mass-produced or used. for commercial purposes.

Therefore, although their early research results are very dazzling and have a profound impact on the development of quantum computers, their actual short-term use is not great. They can only be said to have laid a theoretical foundation and pointed out the right direction, and they want to really put it into practical applications. It is also necessary to repeatedly explore and improve the preparation process.

For this reason, Qin Ke and his colleagues have always wanted to develop a "Ling Ning Superconducting No. 99.9999 material" with better performance, lower cost, easier synthesis, and large-scale production. In the process, they have continuously improved and optimized the "Ling Ning Topology". "Superconducting Vortex State Theoretical Model System" will eventually achieve quantum computing with a fidelity and fault tolerance rate of [-]% and tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of qubits.

Now the "Ling Ning Superconducting Material No. [-]" has been successfully prepared after nearly two years of arduous research, and the "Ling Ning Topological Superconducting Vortex State Theoretical Model System" also has a data basis for continued improvement!

Quantum chips are about to enter a new era!
We must know that there are currently two technological mountains that limit the development of quantum chips. One is "high fault-tolerant topological quantum computing mechanisms and materials that can be commercialized and mass-produced", and the other is "can excite and accommodate more quanta and achieve higher qubits." Quantum Chip Materials for Computation”.

The release of "Ling Ning Superconducting Material No. [-]" is equivalent to announcing that the first technological mountain has been leveled!
As for the second mountain, Qin Ke is also confident that relying on the current research experience and research results of the "chip materials research team" on "new carbon crystal composite nanomaterials", quantum chip materials will be developed within a few years, and will support the exciting The number of qubits has exceeded one million.

What is the concept of the number of qubits exceeding one million?
Xia's most advanced "Jiu Zhang 255" quantum computing prototype supports [-] qubits. When solving specific problems, it can be a trillion times faster than the world's fastest supercomputer! ——Of course, due to many reasons such as process and cost, quantum computers can only produce prototypes, that is, laboratory models. They cannot be commercialized or mass produced. Moreover, because the problem of quantum entanglement has not been solved, it can only be applied in a certain field. Specific problem solving operations.

But once the "Lime Superconducting Material No. 64" is promoted and applied, even if the second mountain will take more time to overcome, at least based on the current technology, quantum computers will break through from the mainstream 512 qubits to The number of 99.99 qubits is not difficult, and thanks to the fidelity and fault tolerance rate of [-]%, the application scope will be greatly expanded and will no longer be limited to the solution of a specific problem!

The pace of quantum computers moving out of the laboratory and into the market will undoubtedly accelerate.

As long as quantum chip materials can keep up in the future, "Ling Ning Superconducting Material No. [-]" and "Ling Ning Topological Superconducting Vortex State Theory! Model System" can guarantee highly fault-tolerant topological quantum computing starting with millions of qubits.

In other words, until the number of qubits in a quantum computer reaches 100 million, there is no need to worry about the quantum entanglement problem caused by "quantum decoherence"!

This is a great invention that is far ahead of its time. At least it will be ten or even 20 years before quantum computers can reach millions of qubits!

If the preparation technology patent of "Ling Ning Superconducting Material No. 10" is only worth US$[-] billion in theory, and no company is willing to actually pay for it, then the preparation technology patent of "Ling Ning Super Conducting Material No. [-]" As long as the application is approved and announced, all quantum computer R&D companies in the world, including the top IBM and Google Quantum Computer Research Centers, will be begging to buy it!

The valuation of the patented technology of "Lime Superconducting Material No. 1000" is definitely not an exaggeration to say US$[-] billion.

Qin Ke smiled at Harold on the other end of the phone and said: "Okay, you can sort out the detailed experimental report and send it to me and Qingjun. We will take a look at it first. If we have any questions, we will reply to you via email. In addition, there is something about Qingjun The patent technology application materials for "Ling Ning Superconducting Material No. 10" have also been prepared in advance. At that time, I will withdraw [-]% of the patent licensing income and invest it in the "Ling Ning Scientific Research Incentive Fund", and you will all receive related fund share increases."

Harold was overjoyed and told his friends about Qin Ke's decision. Suddenly, louder cheers sounded from all around, and everyone was very motivated.

The so-called "Ling Ning Scientific Research Incentive Fund" is an incentive fund established to retain Qing Ning Technology's research talents and increase R&D enthusiasm.

Its function is similar to virtual equity incentives. Directors, deputy directors and core senior technical staff of laboratories such as Harold, Ling Shaotang, Ding Sibo, Zhou Zhishu, Wei Xueming, etc. all have virtual equity in Qing Ning Technology and can participate in Qing Ning. Dividends from technology.

However, ordinary scientific researchers, as well as those who joined the company late, are not qualified for virtual equity incentives in terms of ability and qualifications. At this time, it is necessary to establish a "Ling Lemon Scientific Research Incentive Fund".

The "Lime Research Incentive Fund" was established just this year so that researchers at the "Lime New Energy and Freshwater Resource Renewal Utilization Technology Research Center" can share the dividends of their research results. It was later extended to the "Lime Plant Cultivation Laboratory" and "Qingning Technology Quantum Computing Laboratory".

10% of the patent proceeds from the research results of all research institutions will be invested in this fund.

As long as you have worked for a research institution under Qing Ning Technology for one year, you will be able to obtain the corresponding fund share. The longer you work and the more contributions you make, the more fund shares you will get.

Fund shares cannot be traded and will be automatically recovered upon resignation, but as long as you do not resign, you can participate in dividends every year.

Moreover, these dividends do not conflict with the annual year-end bonus of Lime Technology and are paid separately.

Generous material rewards and humanistic care are Qingning Technology’s unique tricks to ensure the stability and combat effectiveness of the research team.

For example, Hua Manting, Gan Peixuan, the wife of classmate Xiaohua, is one of the veterans of the Quantum Computing Laboratory. The dividend she received through the "Ling Lemon Research Incentive Fund" this year is estimated to be more than 1000 million yuan. Even if she comes from a wealthy family, Such a large dividend still makes her surprised and proud.

The fact that "Ling Ning Superconducting Material No. [-]" can be developed so quickly is inseparable from the formulation of these reward and care systems.

Qin Ke plans to set up a similar incentive fund in the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory of Qingmu University, so that researchers involved in important topics such as global climate change can also obtain economic and material satisfaction and invest in scientific research with greater vigor. .

However, the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory of Qingmu University is funded by superiors, and the results of many research projects are directly handed over to the state, with no profit at all.Even if the results of some research projects are profitable, only 30% of the net income will be distributed by the laboratory itself, and the rest will be handed over to the school and the state.

There are still too many institutional restrictions in establishing such an incentive fund. Qin Ke has been studying how to break through these restrictions in the form of a "pilot" with two veteran academicians, Jiang Weixian and Guo Weiyang...

Of course, these are all the icing on the cake, so I won’t go into details.

After hanging up the phone, considering that the results of the quantum computing laboratory were so amazing, Qin Ke also specifically contacted Chen Ming and Chen Lan, the general security consultants of Qingning Technology, to ensure that the security of the quantum computing laboratory was strengthened.Chen Ming and Chen Lan took this very seriously and said they would immediately rush to the quantum computing laboratory in person to once again strengthen security.

In addition, Uncle Yang has been secretly sending additional manpower to patrol the periphery of the quantum computing laboratory, so the security issue should be foolproof.

Qin Ke then returned to the hotel with confidence to coax the baby.

……

Early the next morning, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun received the latest experimental report from Harold after they woke up. The experimental report was more than 100 pages long, and all the detailed experimental data were attached.

Qin Ke and both of them read the experimental report carefully, especially Qin Ke. He still hopes that a true quantum computer can be born soon. If a quantum computer with a level of [-] qubits can be created and given to micro With the use of light, Shiguang's computing power will make a qualitative leap. Even if it is easy to analyze all the weather data in the world, he will be able to analyze the real root causes of global climate variability from the data.

Although it is estimated that such a quantum computer will not be seen in five years, and even a prototype in the laboratory is not enough, Qin Ke still wants to speed up the process. After all, no one knows how to solve a world-class disaster like global climate change. The question is how many years it will take.

Until then, the most reliable way to increase computing power is to wait for the "new carbon crystal composite nanomaterial" to be developed. Traditional CPU chips will usher in a new leap in computing power, promoting the performance upgrade of traditional 64-bit servers. .

Because Ning Qingyun has been pregnant with a baby since last year, Qin Ke did not let her spend too much time and energy on this topic. She also took it very seriously at this time. She did not understand many details and was still discussing it with Qin Ke.

After repeated careful inspections, the two of them were basically sure that except for a few minor flaws, the "Ling Ning Superconducting Material No. [-]" had been truly developed.

The two excitedly high-fived and celebrated. They spent another half a day on the plane making the final optimization of the experimental plan, and replied to Harold via email at London Heathrow Airport:

"After analyzing the latest experimental data, it was found that the superconducting current density Jc was limited to one dimension when the non-Abelian statistical Majorana zero-energy mode weaving and manipulation was carried out in the magnetic flux vortex. Channel, see page 102 of the experimental report for details. It should be that the seventh parameter is set slightly larger when using the topological superconducting phase transition controlled by the gate voltage in the Josephson junction. It is recommended that the parameters be lowered by 5%, 5.5%, and 6% respectively. Conduct experiments. If the superconducting current density is observed to appear in two-dimensional and three-dimensional channels at the same time, then the 'Ling Ning Superconducting No. [-] Material' prepared through the experiment can be called 'perfect'."

Harold quickly replied to the email, saying that he would go all out to implement the latest experimental plan in order to prepare the most perfect "Ling Ning Superconducting Material No. [-]". At the same time, he also flattered him and said that he was indeed Academician Qin and Academician Ning. , the experimental plan that they originally thought was perfect can actually be optimized to be even more perfect.

Qin Ke couldn't help but laugh after seeing the reply to the email: "Even Harold can say such clichés. Do you think it's because of Sister Fang's teachings?"

Ning Qingyun pursed her lips and chuckled: "I guess they will get together sooner or later. Sister Fang teaches him all day long, but Harold loves it. With such a compatibility, it would be a pity if they don't get together."

Harold is still pursuing Fang Yongtang persistently, but because Fang Yongtang thinks he is too straight, he does not agree to date. However, the two have become relatively good friends. They often communicate on WeChat and occasionally have dinner dates together. In these situations, Ning Qing Jun also understood it very well. After all, every time Fang Yongtang chatted with Ning Qingyun, the one who complained the most was this tall boy from Deguo.

Qin Ke thought of Harold and couldn't help but smile: "Apart from Harold being a bit straight and not quite understanding how men and women get along, he is cheerful, straightforward and enthusiastic. He is a very conscientious supervisor and is indeed a good boy. But I think it’s better to wait for Sister Fang to make her own decision on this matter. She is such a mature girl and considers issues very carefully. No matter what decision she makes in the end, we will just send our blessings by her side.”

Ning Qingyun thought about it, and couldn't help but glance at Qin Ke: "I find you understand very well. I thought you were really straight before..."

Qin Ke blinked and said with an honest look on his face: "I am really a straight man. You see, I have an upright character and an upright person. I couldn't be more straight."

Is this what straight men mean?Intentional misinterpretation of nouns!Ning Qingyun gave him a cute look, but couldn't help but laugh out loud.

……

There was no announced itinerary for Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun's flight to London. There were no reporters or celebrities at the airport. Qin Ke and his party transferred from the airport to a vehicle prepared by Wei Feng in advance and set off directly to the headquarters of the European Meteorological Center. building.

A grand welcome dinner has been prepared there to cleanse the two of them.

Then early the next morning, the European Meteorological Center entered into serious communication with the two about in-depth cooperation, and finally reached a new scientific research cooperation agreement at noon. The attitude was so good that Qin Ke could not react at all.

In order to promote this all-round in-depth scientific research cooperation, the European Meteorological Center has indeed shown great sincerity. For example, it has made great concessions in the quantity and price of meteorological-related high-precision equipment exported to Xiaguo, and is even willing to provide the first The research and development technology of the third generation meteorological satellites has a friendly and equal scientific research cooperation with Xia State, and the conditions are astonishingly generous.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun also made a "concession". They and their Xia Guo scientific research team will not contact the meteorological data of European countries except for extreme weather research-related data, but will guide the research team here at the European Meteorological Center. Carry out data analysis, mathematical modeling and meteorological deductions.

——In fact, Qin Ke didn’t even think about touching these ordinary meteorological data. Now just to process the huge amount of data related to extreme climate phenomena provided by the European Meteorological Center, he had to spend nearly 10 billion yuan for the third time. Upgrade the Lime data center to increase the computing power of Shimmer.

Even so, Shimmer's computing power has reached its limit and cannot process any more data.So even if the European Meteorological Center really provides him with all the weather data in Europe for decades, he can only stare at it. Why not use the European Meteorological Center's supercomputing and research team to conduct in-depth data analysis and research? Indirectly, it became a "master-slave relationship", allowing the European Meteorological Center to get used to the two people's "technical guidance" and even "technical leadership" status.

However, this cooperation is indeed all-round. It has changed from a "strategic partnership" relationship that only shared partial data and worked independently to a more in-depth scientific research involving joint cooperation, sharing of technology, equipment, and research results. partnership.

That afternoon, the European Meteorological Center held a press conference and publicly announced the news, which once again caused a huge sensation in Europe and the world. (End of chapter)
