Technology Bigshot

Zhang Han pointed to this object and said with a humorous smile, "What a big refrigerator!"

"Ha~!" Brownell looked at the object and said with a smile: "This is the latest generation of quantum computer equipped with D-Wave7x quantum processor. You are right, Mr. Zhang! It is indeed A refrigerator, to be exact, the coldest refrigerator ever built, the internal cooling device makes the niobium source crystal chip work only in an environment slightly above absolute zero."

Brownell explained to him: "If you want to maintain a coherent quantum superposition and quantum entanglement, you must do it in an ultra-low temperature environment. Quantum entanglement allows quantum units, or particles, to interact regardless of quantum What coordinates are they in this space? Under the quantum mechanical system, they will always be closely linked together, but it is very delicate, and any interference from heat or light will destroy this process, thereby affecting the computing efficiency of the quantum computer. Therefore, the ultra-low temperature environment must Indispensable."

"As a cutting-edge popular technology in the current scientific field, quantum physics is also being pursued by people, but how quantum physics is and why it follows these dreamlike laws, so far no one has been able to give a definite conclusion , there is no truth, naturally there are different opinions, the most common view is that different quantum forms exist in each independent universe, but anyway, the answer is sometimes not important, because our company still has achieved remarkable results in the field of quantum computers .”

Brownell said, looking at the gray and black 'big refrigerator' again, he looked at Zhang Han and said: "This quantum computer is equipped with a D-Wave7x quantum processor, it is D-Wave7x, not D- Wave7, yes, this is the company's latest generation of quantum processors."

"D-Wave7 only has 5,000 quantum units, but D-Wave7x can carry 10,000 quantum units, which is a full double!" Brownell said proudly.

Zhang Han was a little surprised when he heard the news. As a top practitioner in the computer field, his interest was instantly aroused. He subconsciously continued: "10,000 quantum units can be in 2 to 10,000 states at the same time. , that is to say, there are 10 to the 3000th power of possibilities, and there are only 10 to the 80th power of atoms in the entire universe." Zhang Han stared at the large gray-black refrigerator, his eyes shifted to Brownell, and said: " Does that mean it's in 103000 universes at the same time? That's crazy, tens of billions of different universes in one computer at the same time?"

"Uh...Mr. Zhang!" Brownell showed a different look, and he said, "May I ask, do you work for XlouS company..."

A touch of embarrassment is rising from Brownell's heart.

Zhang Han obviously assumed the role of an engineer, and only after hearing Brownell's doubts did he realize that he had been caught, so he stopped trying to hide it, and said with a smile: "I lead all the computer engineers under Matrix Technology,

Except for the founder, he takes care of me, and I take care of everyone else! "

"Uh..." Brownel was suddenly embarrassed, and he had said a lot of barbara, and it turned out that the other party was the top among real experts. Now, recalling the previous scenes, Brownel felt ashamed. The Pacific Ocean went.

However, as the CEO of a company, he must quickly adjust his mentality, and thick-skinnedness is also an essential skill. Brownell quickly adjusted. Thinking of the other party's identity and reason, Brownell felt that if he was lucky, the other party might take two of them. At present, only large companies and state agencies can afford it.

Quantum computers are a bit expensive.

"I'm more concerned about whether this quantum computer can run normally?" Zhang Han asked.

"Of course!" Brownell responded quickly.

Zhang Han was surprised when he heard it, and immediately asked: "Can it reach the theoretical calculation speed?"

But looking back, Zhang Han immediately denied it. If it could really be achieved, then D-Wave would have caused a sensation all over the world, because that would mean the birth of a real quantum computer.

Knowing that Zhang Han is a top expert in the computer field and leading all the computer engineers in the huge Matrix Technology, Brownell spoke cautiously and conservatively. After thinking for a while, he organized his words and responded: "Although it can operate normally, But it can only reach 0.0000090% of the peak theoretical calculation.” This value is still a bit embarrassing, but Brownell changed the subject and said: “But there is no doubt that the potential of quantum computers is quite amazing. If this computer It can reach 90% of the peak value of theoretical computing, and its computing power will exceed 10 times the sum of all conventional computers and supercomputers in the world!"

Brownell immediately played the role of salesman, saying: "Despite this, it is still very strong, and many customers have brought it to their own institutions. Among them, the Alphabet umbrella company has purchased three Taiwan, NASA bought 5, and in D-Wave's investor list there are Amazon's Jeff Bezos, the CIA's technology department In-Q-Tel, etc., it is obvious that these rich people in the world Foresighted companies and institutions believe that the future of quantum computers is bright! But right now, we still need to go a long time to turn this potential into reality!"

"I think it can be realized right now!" Zhang Han said suddenly.

"Um... so... huh? What?" Brownell responded subconsciously, suddenly froze, and instantly locked his eyes on Zhang Han, "Wait, Mr. Zhang! You just said... sorry, you……"

"Do you know why its computing power is so low?" Zhang Han said with a smile, patted the isolation material, and pointed to the large gray-black refrigerator inside.

"Why?" Brownell asked subconsciously. The people in the laboratory were all real senior experts, and they couldn't help but put down their work and listen with their ears up.

Zhang Han did not answer him, but asked instead: "Mr. Fern, how long do you think it will take for humans to truly create a quantum computer?"

"It will take at least 30 years." Brownell said uncertainly.

"No!" Zhang Han shook his head, "It's now!"

Zhang Han continued to answer his above question, and said, "Let me tell you why his calculation efficiency is so pitifully low." He watched everyone present focus on him, didn't pay much attention, paused, Said: "Because you only created a complete body, it still lacks a real 'soul'."

"Soul?" Brownell said to himself, his brain was thinking quickly.

"It's like a person without consciousness and thinking, without a soul, that's called a walking dead." Zhang Han said and glanced at the quantum computer, "It's like a walking dead without a soul."

"So how can it not become a walking dead?" Brownell subconsciously asked: "How can it have a soul?"

"This is the purpose of my coming to D-Wave." Zhang Han said with a faint smile.

After a while, he said, "Please prepare a regular computer for me."

"What are you still doing? Brewer! Get Mr. a PC!" Brownell suddenly growled at the staff in the laboratory. At this moment, his heart was shocked and excited. , short of breath and incredible.

Is it going to happen today?

A quantum computer in the true sense of human beings! ! !
