Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Even though it has been a month since the news of quantum computer technology breakthrough, Professor Arik of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has not given up his original opinion.

Not that he did not believe in Lu Zhou's ability.

It is just that he cannot imagine that without mastering quantum storage technology, there is a little possibility that he can make qubits more than 100.

The approach Google is taking now is from the software side, which is the recently popular quantum annealing algorithm.

However, even the best brains of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory can come up with solutions that only make this experimental quantum computer 80-90 qubits.

As for 524 ...

It's too sci-fi.

He prefers to regard this matter as a political scam. After all, in his opinion, those idiots in Washington DC are not the first time that a third-world country has extorted some strange things.

Obviously, Hua Guo is demonstrating quantum hegemony, putting pressure on the International Information System Security Certification Alliance to promote their quantum encryption algorithms and quantum optical cables.

After all, if there is no quantum computer technology, whether it is a quantum encryption algorithm or a quantum communication technology, in fact, it is completely unnecessary.

With the slow computing power of traditional supercomputing, even if it continues to grow, it will take a century to pry open the Fed's treasury.

However, quantum computers are different.

The exponential growth of computing power is that individuals will be afraid ...

Breakfast was brought to the lab as usual, and Professor Arik, sitting at his desk, was preparing to open his mailbox to check for new invitations to review.

Just then, his colleague, Dr. Cecil, was walking back from the machine with two cups of coffee and placing one of them on his desk.

"Are you going for a cup of coffee?"

"Thank you."

"You're welcome ... Speaking of it, today seems to be the day when Xinghai No. 1 is completed. Are you paying attention to this matter?"

"I have been paying attention, but their performance has made me a little disappointed," carefully tried the temperature, Professor Arica took a sip slowly, and said, "Jinling Institute of Advanced Studies does not seem to be here Except for the review paper, there was no other paper on that quantum computer after that. "

Dr. Cecil nodded thoughtfully.

"So ... it's a little weird."

Professor Arika asked him, "Do you have any news?"

"I don't know if it's counted. I saw it on their official website," Dr. Cecil thought about it, and continued. "It is said that they intend to prove the computing power of Xinghai I by calculating the pi."

Arika chuckled comfortably after a sip of coffee.

"Oh, how many digits are they going to count?"

"It seems to be ten hundred times."

The moment he heard this, Arik, who hadn't swallowed his coffee, almost spit it out.

Ten hundred times? !!

This is so bragging and not drafting!

"Let's go next year!"

Coldly sarcastically, Aric set the coffee cup aside, closed the mailbox with a mouse, and opened the browser.

He didn't pay much attention to the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Xinghai No.1.

However, they actually prepared such an interesting event for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, which unexpectedly surprised him.

He originally thought that the Chinese would wear this "emperor's new clothes" all the time, but they did not expect that they would believe them in the end.

One hundred times from ten decimal places?

Ha ha!

Fortunately, since they jumped out, don't blame him for being ruthless when he hit his face.

D-wave3x will be completed soon. If the Chinese people thought that they only needed to calculate one trillion digits on the original basis, and then messed up some data to fool the past ...

He will let them know the cost of lying.

For d-wave3x, it may not be realistic to calculate the 314x10100 digits after the decimal point in a short period of time, but it is not a problem to refresh the record to 314x1015 digits.

However, when Aric opened his browser arrogantly and looked at the screen, the whole person was still there.

He has not even logged into the official website of Xingkong Technology.

I saw a few striking headlines, and posted them in the first place in the most prominent form:

[A revolutionary computer! Xinghai No. 1 passed Guinness certification, breaking the Pi rate record! 】

The Los Angeles Daily.

Arik: "?????"

...

It was obviously not just Alek who was frightened by this news.

Almost shortly after the new record was included in the Guinness Book of World Records, discussions on the Xinghai One have been screened on Facebook and Twitter.

[Isn't Google also working on quantum computers? Why are there no results at all? !! 】

[I am very disappointed in this session of the White House. Even in the face of the Soviet Union, we still had the upper hand! But now, first, controlled fusion, then the moon space station ... we seem to be easily surpassed. 】

[Approving East Asia Communications' acquisition of sub is the dumbest decision! That's how we lost our advantage in appeasement again and again! 】

What's amazing is that it's not just Xinghai One that calculates the Pi to 314x10100 digits after the decimal point, but it did so in less than a minute!

what does this mean?

It is difficult to describe specifically.

But if you make an intuitive comparison, you can fully understand how exaggerated this terrible computing power is.

Prior to this, Google engineers spent 121 days with 25 virtual machines to complete the 314x1013-bit record, not to mention that this was still the case when an algorithm optimized for calculating the pi was used!

It's fine if it's just the pi, but obviously it's not just that simple.

Soon, a professor of information engineering from MIT, named Jordifen, came out and posted his opinion on the matter on his personal blog.

In other words, it is a warning to the authorities.

[In today's computer technology ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ it is almost impossible to calculate the pi to 314x10100 bits. Even if the latest Longteng carbon-based chip is used, it needs a chassis as large as the White House and a professional team of at least ten people to design a specially customized algorithm for it, and then watch it count for a hundred years or even Two hundred years. 】

[If it is a suit supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, I regret to tell you that this may have to be counted from when we were still grabbing land with Neanderthals, until I published this blog At that time, I was almost able to accomplish what Xinghai One had done in a minute. 】

[I must remind our experts in the Department of Defense, as well as information security consultants. Although the Cold War era has long since passed, new crises have emerged. 】

[Quantum hegemony will become something more terrifying and deterrent than nuclear hegemony. With the powerful information processing capabilities of quantum computers, the people who control them may only need a few small satellites or high-altitude drones. Or a bought-out cleaner can break down the civilization we have spent more than a century building. 】

[Nuclear warhead? Intercontinental missile? Maybe we have the ability to counteract at the physical level, but we also need to let them fly out of the missile well. 】
