Technology Bigshot

At the next moment, there was a low scream in the audience, and some whispers appeared frequently, especially those in the computer field, all of them were shocked.

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

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

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

"This is the first true quantum computer!"

"This is a historic moment, this is a moment for the whole world to remember!"

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

As the video ended, it was finally frozen on a progress bar, showing: 96%!

With a bang, warm applause began to resound. Almost all the elite groups of human beings came to the conference site. No one was unaware of the significance and impact of the birth of quantum computers on the entire human race.

A Western reporter even wanted to shout out: finally leading China in the field of cutting-edge technology.

Yes, he had such an idea, which may have been unbelievable in the past, but today, in the technology sector, a Chinese technology company called "Matrix Technology XlouS" is frantically swiping the screen every once in a while, but it is not surprising at all. .

But he held back, because one of the people 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 Zhang Han's existence. If he didn't appear here, it would mean that this is an achievement that belongs to the West, a great achievement.

But anyway, this is a historic moment for humanity.

D-Wave's press conference today is a bit different from usual, but it announces a form of content answering a content.

"Hello, Mr. Fern Brownell, I'm Creel, a reporter from Reuters. I would like to ask: If quantum computers are successfully commercialized, the powerful functions of quantum computers will directly disintegrate in the short term. Some information security systems,

The current RSA algorithm will be insecure and vulnerable to quantum computers. All privacy will be cracked by the simplest brute force method. The birth of quantum computer is the first test of information security. 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 high-level encrypted information 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 time, and it is the simplest and crudest means of deciphering, because his calculation speed is so terrible, the calculation of the quantum computer in the video just now The computing speed of just one computer exceeds the combined computing speed of all conventional computers and supercomputers in the world, and is even 9 times higher.

There is no doubt that traditional conventional computers will always be on par in peak computing.

This means that when quantum computers are born, those units and institutions that rely heavily on information security as their cornerstone will be affected, including the national government, the military, banks, e-commerce, and more. The Internet, in particular, has developed a well-established system after decades of development, the most important of which is undoubtedly the guarantee system for information security, but in the face 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 a quantum computer will be a disaster, and the government will definitely supervise it. 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 a fact that we have to face. Obviously, since we chose to announce it today, there must be a solution. Everyone is watching quietly and waiting for the official reply.

Just after the question was thrown, Zhang Han took the microphone, pondered for a moment, looked at the Reuters reporter, and responded, "You are right, this kind of concern is real and cannot be ignored. The parallel computing capability of quantum computers enables all algorithms of current conventional computers to be quickly brute-forced within acceptable time. As far as conventional computers are concerned, there is no mathematical algorithm that is absolutely safe, or even relatively non-existent. "

Speaking of Zhang Han here, facing everyone, he said: "But quantum computing technology itself is the best encryption method. We all know that using quantum technology for communication can make information unreadable during transmission. Reading will destroy the content of the information itself in transmission, which also means that the cracking method cannot be effectively carried out at all. So this problem is not unsolvable, on the contrary, this problem is not a problem.”

Zhang Han jokingly said: "Conventional computers are compared to children, and quantum computers are compared to adults. Children definitely can't beat adults. For one reason, when both are adults, it's different."

"That's right!" Fern Brownell took over the right to speak after Zhang Han finished answering, and said: "Any technology has both positive and negative sides, but it is not without solutions. The significance of quantum computers to human beings is self-evident. Yu, it will become a powerful driving force for the development of human science, and has a strong role in the development of a series of natural sciences such as scientific theory verification, climate prediction, artificial intelligence, oceanography, geological research, natural disasters, and space exploration. The driving effect. We cannot completely deny the positive and positive effects because of the possible negative effects.”

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

The audience was stunned for a while. 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, but not enough?

At the same time, Wall Street responded on the spot. When the first news was announced, D-Wave's stock price began to soar wildly in 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 to $15 billion, and at this moment it has skyrocketed to $87 billion.
