Technology Bigshot

The next moment, the audience greeted a deep alarm, and some whispers appeared frequently, especially those in the computer field, all were shocked.

"Before announcing the content of the rest of the news, please allow D-Wave to share that exciting moment with the world!" Brownell smiled and said slowly. As soon as the voice fell, a video was released at the press conference, and it was a scene in the laboratory.

"Oh-My-God!! Oh-My-God!! Oh-My-God..."

"My God, 75%...79%...83%...have reached more than 80% of the theoretical calculation peak. It is still soaring and it is not the end!!"

"This is the first real quantum computer!"

"This is a historic moment, this is a moment worth remembering for the whole world!"

The reporters and computer professionals present watched the scenes of the video content. Everyone in the video was so excited and incoherent that they could not suppress the emotions in their hearts.

With the end of the video, it finally freezes on a progress bar, showing: 96%!

There was a bang, and warm applause began to resound. Almost all the elite groups of humans who came to the press conference were not aware of the significance and impact of the birth of quantum computers on the entire human race.

A Western journalist even wanted to shout: finally leading China in cutting-edge and cutting-edge technology.

Yes, he has this kind of idea, which may be unbelievable in the past, but today, it is not surprising that a Chinese technology company called "Matrix Technology XlouS" in the technology sector is frantically refreshing the screen every once in a while. .

But he still held back, because a person sitting at the press conference told him that this was not the result of D-Wave's independence.

At this moment, the reporter couldn't help but hate the existence of Zhang Han. If he does not appear here, it will mean that this is an achievement that belongs to the West alone, a great achievement.

But anyway, this is a historic moment for mankind.

D-Wave's press conference today is a bit different from usual, but it announces one piece of content to answer one piece of content.

"Hello, Mr. Fern Braunell, this is "Reuters" reporter Creel. I would like to ask: If quantum computers are successfully commercialized, the powerful functions of quantum computers will be directly destroyed in the short term. For some information security systems, the current RSA algorithm will be insecure and vulnerable to quantum computers. All privacy will be cracked with the simplest brute force method. The birth of quantum computers is the first to bear the brunt of information security. Test. What do you think about this?"

There is no doubt that in the current world, this problem cannot be ignored at all. In the past, it may take ten or a hundred years for a sophisticated encrypted message to be cracked on a traditional computer. But in front of a quantum computer, it may be easily deciphered in a second or even less, and it is the simplest and most rude method of cracking, because his calculation speed is really terrible, the calculation of the quantum computer in the video just now Speed, the calculation speed of only one computer exceeds the sum of the calculation speeds of all conventional computers and supercomputers in the world, and is 9 times higher.

There is no doubt that in peak computing, the traditional conventional computer will always be beyond its reach.

This means that when quantum computers are born, those units and institutions that rely heavily on information security as the cornerstone will be affected, including the national government, the military, banks, e-commerce, and so on. In particular, the Internet, despite decades of development, has a fairly complete system of scripts, the most important of which is undoubtedly the guarantee system of information security, but in front of quantum computers, the so-called guarantee will be vulnerable.

Obviously, if there is no reliable new algorithm or the guarantee of a security system, the birth of quantum computers will be a disaster, and the government will definitely supervise them. Even the application is limited to national security and military information systems, and it is impossible to popularize civilian use. .

This first problem is so serious and it is also a fact that we have to face. Obviously, since we choose to announce it today, there must be a way to solve it. Everyone is watching quietly, waiting for the official reply.

Just after the question was raised, Zhang Han took the microphone, pondered for a moment, looked at the Reuters reporter, and responded: "You are right. This concern is real and cannot be ignored. The parallel computing capabilities of quantum computers enable all the algorithms of current conventional computers to be quickly violently cracked within an acceptable time. As far as conventional computers are concerned, no mathematical algorithm is absolutely safe, or even relatively none. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Han said to everyone, “But quantum computing technology itself is the best encryption method. We all know that the use of quantum technology for communication can make information inaccessible in the process of transmission. Reading will destroy the content of the information itself in transmission, which also means that the cracking method cannot be effective at all. So this problem is not unsolvable, on the contrary, this problem is not a problem."

Zhang Han jokingly laughed and said: "A conventional computer is like a child, and a quantum computer is like an adult. A child can't beat an adult. For one thing, it's different when both are adults."

"That's right!" Fern Braunell took the right to speak after Zhang Han finished answering, and said: "Any technology has both positive and negative aspects, but it is not incomprehensible. The significance of quantum computers to humans is self-evident. Yu, it will become a powerful driving force for the advancement of human science ~www.readwn.com~ in a series of natural sciences such as scientific theory verification, climate prediction, artificial intelligence, marine science, geological research, natural disasters, space exploration, etc. The development of science has a powerful role in promoting. We cannot completely deny the positive and positive effects because of the possible negative effects."

The announcement and response to the first piece of news ended, and Brownell began to announce the second piece of news, "XlouS and D-Wave officially jointly announced that they will reach a transaction contract of up to 60 billion U.S. dollars. D-Wave will Build the world's first super quantum computer for Matrix Technology XlouS!"

The audience was stunned, and the 60 billion sky-high transaction was just to build a super quantum computer? What does Matrix Technology do? What needs such an exaggerated computer? Quantum computers are exaggerated enough, can't it be satisfied?

At the same time, Wall Street gave feedback on the spot. When the first news was announced, D-Wave's stock price began to soar like a U-shaped curve, and just after the second news was announced, D-Wave's stock price showed no signs of warning. The geometric speed is soaring. Since the opening of the market, the company's market value has risen from the initial 8.9 billion US dollars to 15 billion US dollars, and at this moment it has soared crazy to 87 billion US dollars.
