The sea island project team did not directly choose to meet the challenge posed by IBM.

"The sea island quantum computer is not a product of the same stage as IBM's vulture. If IBM is willing, we can let our next-generation products compete with the vulture in terms of computing speed."

The island quantum computer was released more than a year earlier than the "Vulture".

Moreover, "Vulture" is connected to a supercomputer, so it is obviously unfair to directly compare the two.

But the response of the island project team made IBM feel that we didn't seem to dare to take on the challenge.

"Sure enough, they know in their hearts that the performance of the island is not as good as that of the vulture. In terms of quantum computer optimization, they haven't found the real direction yet."

IBM researchers believe that the combination of supercomputing and quantum computers is the best direction for the future development of quantum computers.

The island project team did not do this, probably because the technology did not meet the corresponding requirements.

"The next generation of products? When they develop the next generation of quantum computers, they don't know how many years have passed. They know that if the island competes with the vultures, there is absolutely no chance of winning. This is just their delaying strategy. "

"In their art of war, this should be called a 'delayed strategy'. In fact, it is normal for technology to lag behind ours. There is nothing embarrassing to admit."

With this in mind, IBM continued to reply to the island project team.

"We are very willing to compete with your next-generation products in computing. Looking forward to the early release of your next-generation products!"

Our response to this very official wish from IBM is very simple.

"I'll borrow your good words."

In fact, at this time, the quantum computer has been assembled, and only the final testing stage is left.

Because the optical quantum chip of Suanjing has passed the test, what needs to be done next is mainly some optimization work.

And Xu You is also writing corresponding programs for this new quantum computer to build a new artificial intelligence.

Compared with superconducting quantum computers, light quantum is more difficult to program, and many problems that have not been encountered in superconducting quantum computers need to be solved.

Fortunately, when Xu You was developing the Godson G1, he began to think about and deal with these problems.

With these foundations, Xu You will not appear powerless in the face of these problems, and can even solve them with ease.

After repeated writing, testing, and modification.

Xu You finally made a set of system language suitable for calculating the optical quantum chip, so that it can successfully complete various programming.

After solving the most critical problem, Xu You imitated Haidao's artificial intelligence and tried to make it have the ability to learn independently like Haidao.

"Let Haidao be your first teacher."

Although in the quantum random circuit sampling task, the calculation speed of "Sunjing" is already a thousand times that of "Sea Island".

But this does not mean that "Sunjing" has completely replaced "Sea Island" and has become a better quantum computer.

In terms of application, "Sunjing" is still a newborn baby, and there is still a lot to learn.

The relatively mature "sea island" is very suitable as a teacher of "calculation".

Under the guidance of Haidao, Suanjing began to learn various skills that those islands already possessed.

The learning speed of arithmetic is extremely fast. In less than a day, he started from scratch and mastered many skills such as Go, Chinese chess, chess, and medical diagnosis.

In terms of deep learning ability, Suanjing is far stronger than Haidao.

After just a few hours of study, Suan Jing beat Hai Dao at Go, and even when Suan Jing let Hai Dao get two pieces, Suan Jing still won by a narrow margin.

Xu You thought before that when the chess power reached the level of the island, even if it was improved further, there should not be much room for improvement.

What Xu You didn't expect was that in such a short period of time, Suan Jing could raise his answering ability of Go to another level.

You must know that handicapping two pieces in Go is not just a difference of two eyes, but roughly equivalent to handing over twenty eyes.

Such a result shows that humans still have a very long way to go to find the optimal solution of Go.

In addition, in the medical field of artificial intelligence, Suanjing has also shown a much faster speed than Haidao.

After the technology matures, Suanjing is very promising, and it will directly play the role of an AI doctor in the hospital.

After completing the learning and testing of these functions, the project team officially released the news.

"Suanjing, a quantum computer jointly developed by Jijing University, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Jinghua University and other scientific research institutions, was officially released today. Suanjing adopted the light quantum scheme, successfully constructed 1130 photons, and executed quantum random circuits The sampling task takes only three milliseconds, which is a thousand times faster than the island quantum computer. This is also the world's first quantum computer that can solve complex task programming."

Because the "Analysis" project was initiated by Xu You, and it was also completed under the leadership of Xu You.

According to the ranking of scientific research institutions, Jijing University also ranks first in terms of project contribution.

Just to prevent Xu You from being too conspicuous inside, Xu You's name was not specifically highlighted in the announcement.

In fact, many people know that Huaxia has been researching the next generation of quantum computers.

However, everyone did not expect that this generation of quantum computers will be released so soon, and their performance is so much better than the previous generation.

"I thought it was Sea Island No. 2, but I didn't expect it to be a new series. But the speed is indeed too exaggerated. The island is so against the sky, and the speed of calculation is a thousand times faster than that of the island. Isn't this necessary? Hang and beat the vultures of the United States!"

"If I'm not mistaken in my analysis, Sutra and Sea Island have adopted two completely different directions. Didn't we say that optical quantum computers cannot be programmed because of the difficulty in logical operations between optical qubits? This time, has it been solved? The unprogrammable problem of photons?"

"Three milliseconds? That's three thousandths of a second. The vulture released by IBM took nearly one second to perform that task. This shows that the calculation speed is three hundred times that of the vulture. There is no difference between the two." There is no comparison."

When IBM researchers learned of the news, they expressed serious doubts about the news.

"Optical quantum computer? They actually chose this direction?"

Because this direction has been difficult to program, it has always been considered by the industry as a direction with no prospects.
