Chapter 354: One Year Goal

"This is what we developed, the first optical quantum computer in China." Zhu Huagui proudly introduced Lu Zixin and others.

In front of them is a larger unit that looks like a part of a complex and sophisticated industrial equipment, but such a big thing is just the CPU of the optical quantum computer.

The overall optical quantum computer is even larger.

"Optical quantum computers use the polarization degrees of freedom and angular momentum of photons as qubits. Now, ten entangled photons can be achieved internationally. We are already at the world's leading level." Zhu Huagui said.

"Great!" Lu Zixin praised.

"How about its performance?" Lu Zixin asked curiously. Since it is the world's leading optical quantum computer, its performance is not bad, right?

Zhu Huagui said: "The sampling speed of our optical quantum computer is 100 times faster than the operation speed of the world's first electron tube computer and transistor computer! Only a few in the world can do it!"

"Awesome!" Lu Zixin gave a thumbs up, being able to do this is already very powerful. Each of their achievements is obtained by their own hard work, and the hardships may only be known to them.

In addition to optical quantum computers, there are also superconducting quantum computers. Although both are called quantum computers, their qubits, that is, computing units, are implemented in completely different ways.

One is an optical qubit and the other is a superconducting qubit, which are completely different from theoretical basis to implementation.

"Our superconducting quantum computer can also control ten superconducting qubits, and we are currently manipulating 20 superconducting qubits." Zhu Huagui said, "As long as a quantum computer can control fifty microscopic qubits, Particles can run faster than the fastest supercomputers in the world today!"

Lu Zixin thought to himself, at this speed, there will be no trace of a small quantum computer in ten or eight years.

At present, companies such as Intel have announced that they can make quantum computers that can manipulate forty-five microscopic particles, and have also announced 17-bit quantum computing chips...

This is just the information they have already made public. Lu Zixin believes that in the technical data they have not released, they must have achieved a higher level. Therefore, Hongxin must quickly overtake and make it before they can make universal quantum chips and large-scale commercial quantum computers, in order to break the monopoly of the computer industry and be at the forefront of the world.

During the visit, Dai Liangcai kept asking various questions and recording them with smart glasses, and he was already preparing for Hongxin's quantum computer research.

In this institute, in addition to the research part of optical quantum computer and superconducting quantum computer, there are also research parts such as quantum information transmission and quantum information network.

These are mainly developed by the Keliyun team and declined to visit.

In the cloud data era, every technology company is developing its own cloud data technology, and Keli Cloud is especially valued by the Keli Group.

According to their last announcement, more than 100 billion Huaxia coins will be invested in quantum information, quantum computers, cloud data, etc. within three years!

Even the National Academy of Sciences attaches great importance to this scale of investment.

After leaving the gate of the institute, Dai Liangcai was filled with emotion. Said: "I can't believe that their research in the quantum field has already led us so much, especially the quantum information network of the Keli Group. If they are made, the operation mode of the Internet will be rewritten."

For the quantum information network, they have experimentally launched several quantum information satellites. Although there is no great effect in a short period of time, as long as their technology is perfected, they will surpass the current small information satellites of Hongxin.

"Old Dai, how long do you think we can surpass them?" Lu Zixin asked.

"This..." Dai Liangcai hesitated for a while, and then said after a while: "We can reach a level similar to theirs within two years, which is already very good. Based on the foundation of Hongxin, we will build a quantum computer in one or two years, and realize ten quantum computers. The manipulation of qubits will reach twenty or twenty-five in three years, and catch up with the international level in five years.”

"Five years? Too long." Lu Zixin said, "One year to make a quantum computing chip, and two years to make a commercial quantum computer!"

"One year?" Dai Liangcai shook his head directly, "This time is too short, unless someone teaches us, or just relying on our own exploration, a year is really too short!"

"One year is enough!"

"Make a quantum computing chip in one year, and make a commercial quantum computer in two years? Hahaha!" Lu Zixin finished speaking, and someone behind him laughed.

It was an old man in a plaid shirt, older than Dai Liangcai, with deep wrinkles on his forehead and pale hair.

"Young people, it's good to have goals, but don't talk blindly!" the man said.

"Principal Pan?" Dai Liang called out in surprise when he saw him, "Mr. Pan, why are you here?"

With respect in his tone, he introduced to Lu Zixin in a low voice: "This old Mr. Pan Qiwen, once served as the president of Huaxia University of Science and Technology, and has made many major scientific research achievements. Now he is one of the veterans of the National Academy of Sciences, It is well-known internationally. Especially in the field of quantum, the Magic Capital Institute of Quantum Computer Research was established under his advocacy."

Such a person is already a group of people who stand at the top of human wisdom. Lu Zixin was in awe, and quickly greeted: "Hello, old gentleman."

"Haha, hello." Pan Qiwen smiled kindly and said, "Xiao Zhu told me that the Hongxin Group will invest in the research and development of quantum chips and quantum computers. They also want to cooperate with us. I am attending an academic conference in Canada. Listening to this, I hurried back immediately, just happened to catch up."

"Old gentleman has worked hard." Lu Zixin said, "If you take a break first, we won't be in a hurry."

"No, no." Pan Qiwen waved his hand and said, "Since we met at the door, let's talk now!"

In a quiet room, Lu Zixin and the other three discussed while drinking tea.

Pan Qiwen said uncertainly, "Little Lu, I'm going to ask something unpleasant. Are you really going to make quantum chips? Are you kidding me?"

"Of course!" Lu Zixin said earnestly, "Pan Lao, I can guarantee that our next energy will be in this area. Quantum computers, cloud data, artificial intelligence, these are the development directions of our company in the next ten years! Investing tens of billions, hundreds of billions, we will not be shaken!"

"Okay!" Pan Qiwen exclaimed and said, "We are also afraid of being scammed! Over the years, the state has been appropriating subsidies, but many companies are just cheating subsidies, they don't care about R&D at all, and they waste a lot of resources!"
