Starting from a top student and marching towards the sea of ​​stars

Chapter 269 Quantum Leap is released!

If you are willing to simply compare calculation speed, Ning Chen can design a quantum computer that is faster than Baiying.

It's just that such a comparison is meaningless, because such calculations cannot solve any practical problems, and are more about setting records.

Ning Chen, on the other hand, needed the quantum computer to solve the problems he needed, so he did not focus on pure calculation. Instead, he designed the quantum computer by combining multiple factors such as calculation, programming, power consumption, and operating environment. .

Thinking that the "Quantum Leap" will soon be assembled and enter the testing stage, Ning Chen is also looking forward to this day.

Soon, news about Google’s White Eagle quantum computer spread on the public Internet.

Many people are talking about the news and comparing White Eagle to the previous Galaxy.

"It seems that White Eagle is a better quantum computer than Galaxy. Sure enough, Google is still very powerful in the field of technology. Even if it encountered some setbacks before, it quickly returned to its peak."

"It is unfair to directly compare Galaxy and White Eagle. After all, Galaxy is a previous generation quantum computer, while White Eagle is a newly born quantum computer. I believe that the Chinese Academy of Sciences will be able to create a quantum computer with more powerful performance in the near future. Computer.”

"Now Galaxy has been successfully applied in many fields, and although Baiying's calculation speed is faster, it is just a test product for the time being. If Baiying cannot show its value in application fields, even if it is No matter how fast the calculation speed is, it cannot be compared to the galaxy."

In fact, most people do not have a deep understanding of quantum computers. They can only see rough differences from the data. Many people believe that White Eagle is a better quantum computer.

This also caused Google's stock price to skyrocket in a short period of time, reversing its previous decline in one fell swoop.

Ning Chen no longer paid too much attention to Google's White Eagle quantum computer, but instead placed all the rewards on the assembly of Quantum Leap.

After nearly two weeks of assembly, the complete version of Quantum Leap is finally presented to everyone.

The size of Quantum Leap is not small. Although Quantum Leap is not as large as the Galaxy Quantum Computer, ordinary rooms cannot accommodate Quantum Leap.

In order to accommodate this big guy, Ning Chen also specially found a room with a very high ceiling to serve as a laboratory for quantum leap.

Ning Chen felt a little excited when he saw that the quantum computer he designed finally appeared in reality.

Trying to suppress the excitement in his heart, Ning Chen organized everyone to conduct basic tests on quantum leap.

After connecting the circuit, Quantum Leap lights up and runs smoothly.

The power of quantum leap is very high, and traditional circuits simply cannot handle such high power.

In order to ensure the smooth operation of Quantum Leap, Ning Chen also specially prepared a dedicated line. Just the electricity bill for normal use of Quantum Leap will be a very huge number.

But in fact, the efficiency of quantum computers is very high. To complete the same amount of calculations, quantum computers consume far more power than traditional computers and supercomputers.

Therefore, as long as Quantum Leap can achieve enough cooperation with other companies, universities, and scientific research institutions in the future, it will be very easy to make a profit commercially.

After the quantum leap test began, Ning Chen carefully looked at the various data on the screen and compared it with the parameters estimated during his previous design.

What surprised Ning Chen was that the test data of Quantum Leap was not only very good, but even exceeded the estimated data by a factor.

Of course, this is not due to any unexpected factors, but when making data estimates, Ning Chen set the simulated data within a range, and when taking the data, he only took some more conservative data.

In actual tests, Quantum Leap performed perfectly, with almost no negative conditions.

"Mr. Ning, the performance of Quantum Leap is really great! It's hard for me to imagine that such an excellent computer would be born in the world!"

Seeing these data, Lu Minghao couldn't help but marvel at the test performance of Quantum Leap from the bottom of his heart.

As the software development manager of Xingchen Technology, after the establishment of the Quantum Leap project, Lu Minghao will also focus part of his energy on the operation and maintenance of Quantum Leap.

This is also a huge challenge for Lu Minghao, because quantum computers are a very special kind of computer, and the software in them is somewhat different from traditional computers and mobile phone software.

But after all, quantum computers are a very new industry. In this field, everyone is starting from scratch, and Lu Minghao must also work hard to shoulder such an important responsibility.

"Yes, Manager Lu, compared to the performance of the Galaxy Quantum Computer in the initial test, Quantum Leap is much better. As for Google's White Eagle Quantum Computer, I think Google will know its true performance better than we do."

This situation is like a mobile phone that has a high running score, but the actual experience may not be very good. The data is just good-looking, but it has no high practical value.

The comparison between Quantum Leap and Galaxy did make Ning Chen feel a little surprised.

When designing Quantum Leap, Ning Chen did not intend to make Quantum Leap perform better than Galaxy. Instead, he tried to reduce the quantum volume as much as possible to reduce the cost of Quantum Leap.

But perhaps because of the improvements in various design details and the optimization of the quantum chip manufacturing process, even though Quantum Leap does not have a quantum volume as large as Galaxy, the performance is actually better than Galaxy.

Next, Ning Chen and others conducted further and more detailed tests on quantum leap.

As expected, Quantum Leap still performed very well in further tests.

In particular, it is equipped with a self-developed 14nm quantum chip, allowing Quantum Leap to demonstrate the best chip performance in the world today.

After completing the detailed testing work, Ning Chen was not in a hurry to release this quantum computer to the public immediately.

Ning Chen needs to deal with the operational issues of Quantum Leap first and reach cooperation with other universities, scientific research institutions, and technology companies. This will also allow Star Technology to afford the subsequent operating costs of Quantum Leap.

In fact, the matter of quantum leap is not an absolute secret. Some insiders have learned in advance that Xingchen Technology is developing quantum computers.

Universities including Shuimu University, Yanjing University and other universities have the intention to cooperate with Xingchen Technology.And Shengzhou University, the university most closely related to Xingchen Technology, is naturally among this group.

On this day, Liu Xu came to Ning Chen's laboratory and chatted with Ning Chen about Xingchen Technology's quantum computer.

"Teacher Ning, I heard that your company, Xingchen Technology, has completed the assembly of this quantum computer. I don't know what the current situation is. Can you tell me something?"

Although Ning Chen has no plans to disclose the quantum leap to the public immediately, for Liu Xu, there is definitely no need to keep these matters secret.

"Dean Liu, the overall performance of our quantum computer is pretty good. Even compared to the Galaxy Quantum Computer of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the performance of our quantum machine is even better."

Ning Chen did not hide anything about the performance of Quantum Leap, but truthfully told Liu Xu the past.

Hearing Ning Chen's words, Liu Xu also seemed very excited.

Liu Xu knew that Ning Chen had never been a person who liked to brag. For Ning Chen to come to such a conclusion, it was enough to show how outstanding this quantum computer was.

"Teacher Ning, to be honest, I came to see you this time because I wanted to have a serious talk about cooperation between some colleges and schools and Xingchen Technology on quantum computers. I don't know what Teacher Ning and Xingchen Technology think now. ?”

Liu Xu is not sure about Ning Chen's plan yet, because Xingchen Technology itself has a lot of business to deal with, and he wonders if this quantum computer has any remaining computing power that can be shared.

"Dean Liu, we at Xingchen Technology are currently actively seeking cooperation on quantum computers. Both myself and our company hope to make Shengzhou University a priority partner."

Because Ning Chen was discussing this issue with Liu Xu from the perspective of Xingchen Technology Company, even if Ning Chen was a teacher at Shengzhou University, he still had to prioritize his status at this time.

Of course, Ning Chen naturally hopes that Xingchen Technology and Shengzhou University can reach a good cooperative relationship and share the computing power of this quantum computer.

"Great, Teacher Ning, this is the result we all want to see. In fact, Shengzhou University also wants to have such a quantum computer, but it requires a lot of scientific research funds. It may be difficult to rely solely on Shengzhou University itself. To bear such a huge expense.”

Next, Liu Xu continued to discuss some issues related to the use of quantum computers with Ning Chen.

Ning Chen hopes to share the computing power of quantum computers and achieve cooperation with other users through quantum computer cloud computing.

Because quantum computer cloud computing will be more convenient, as long as there is a wireless network, even if you are far away, you can build a connection channel without hindrance.

This will involve some confidentiality issues, which can be encrypted through the quantum entanglement effect.

In addition to quantum cloud computing, Ning Chen also wants to construct a wired line between Xingchen Technology and Shengzhou University.

Xingchen Technology is located at the east gate of Shengzhou University, so it will be very convenient to construct wired lines.

Compared with cloud computing, this wired method will be more stable and the confidentiality effect will be better.

This can also add another connection channel between Shengzhou University and Xingchen Technology to prevent unexpected situations to the greatest extent.

Liu Xu also strongly agrees with this cooperation method. It is equivalent to Shengzhou University having a quantum computer at home, but only needs to bear part of the usage costs, which can save a lot of money.

"Mr. Ning, I think this kind of cooperation is very good. If we really let Shengzhou University own a quantum computer, a lot of computing power would be wasted, and the operating costs would be difficult to bear independently."

"Yes, this approach is beneficial to both parties. Dean Liu, I think that in the future, quantum computer technology will be widely used in materials research. If the tool of quantum computers can be used well, our materials Academic research is likely to advance by leaps and bounds.”

"Yes, Teacher Ning is the leader in this regard, and other teachers in our School of Materials will also develop in this direction in the future."

……

After that, Star Technology has successively reached cooperation agreements with multiple universities and scientific research institutions, allowing Quantum Leap to maximize its use of its computing power and ensuring that these resources will not be wasted.

At this time, Ning Chen felt that it was time to publicly release Quantum Leap.

After writing the copy, Xingchen Technology released news about quantum leap on its official accounts on major social platforms.

In addition to these official accounts, the news was also announced simultaneously on the homepage of the software "Xuehai".

After these days of development, Xuehai has hundreds of millions of users and has become one of the most influential learning and scientific research software in the world.

This made people all over the world quickly learn about the quantum leap, pay attention to and study this quantum computer.

Because of the Xingchen OS system and Xuehai Software, many people knew about the company Xingchen Technology, but no one had a deeper understanding of Xingchen Technology.

This quantum leap has directly made Star Technology the focus of discussion again.

"Based on the information released by Star Technology, the performance of Quantum Leap not only exceeds that of the Galaxy Quantum Computer, but even the White Eagle Quantum Computer just released by Google is inferior. It seems that the quantum competition between the East and the West is already quietly going on. It started between."

"This time, the two quantum computers should be considered products of the same generation. I wonder what Google will think after learning this news."

"As far as I know, Google's White Eagle quantum computer was not made by one company, Google, but was jointly developed by multiple companies in multiple countries. Quantum Leap, on the other hand, is entirely made with domestic technology. It was completed without using any foreign technology.”

The sudden release of Quantum Leap left many people at a loss. Google's stock price, which had been rising for days, was also frustrated by the emergence of Quantum Leap and fell again.

"How is it possible... isn't Star Technology a company that researches software and systems? How could it suddenly create a quantum computer with such excellent performance?"
