Technology Bigshot Chapter 281: : lacks a soul]
Zhang Han pointed to the object and said with a humorous smile: "What a big refrigerator!"
"Ha~!" Brownell looked at the object and smiled, "This is the latest generation quantum computer equipped with the d-wave7 quantum processor. You are right, Mr. Zhang! It is indeed a refrigerator, the coldest refrigerator ever built, and the internal cooling mechanism allows the niobium source wafer to work only slightly above absolute zero.”
Brownell explained to him: "To maintain coherent quantum superposition and quantum entanglement, it must be done in an ultra-low temperature environment. Quantum entanglement allows quantum units, or particles, to interact. , no matter what coordinate position the quantum is in the space, they will always be closely linked under the quantum mechanical system, but it is very delicate, any interference of heat or light will destroy this process, thus affecting the computational efficiency of the quantum computer, so Ultra-low temperature environment is essential.”
“As a cutting-edge hot technology in the current scientific field, quantum physics is also being pursued by people, but how and why does quantum physics follow these dream-like laws, so far no one has been able to give a The exact conclusion, there is no truth, naturally there are different opinions. The most common view is that different quantum forms exist in various independent universes, but in any case, the answer is sometimes not important, because our company still has achieved pride in the field of quantum computers. people's achievements."
Brownell said, looking at the gray-black 'big refrigerator' again, he looked at Zhang Han and said, "This quantum computer is equipped with a d-wave7 quantum processor, which is a d-wave7, Not d-wave7, yes, it's the company's latest generation of quantum processors."
“d-wave7 has only 5,000 quantum units, but d-wave7 can carry 10,000 quantum units, which is doubled!” 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, and he subconsciously followed down and said: "10,000 quantum units can be in 2 to 10,000 at the same time. In this state, that is to say, there are possibilities of 10 to the 3000th power, and there are only 10 to the 80th power of atoms in the entire universe." Zhang Han stared at the large gray-black refrigerator and turned his attention to Brownell. Dao: "Does this mean that it is in 10 to the 3000th universe at the same time? This is crazy, there are tens of billions of different universes in one computer at the same time?"
"Uh... mr. Zhang!" Brownell showed a different expression, he said, "I take the liberty to ask, do you work in xlous company..."
A touch of embarrassment is rising from Brownell's mind.
Zhang Han obviously took the role of an engineer. He heard Brownell's doubts and knew that he had been seen through. He simply stopped covering it up and said with a smile: "I lead all computer engineers under Matrix Technology, except for the founder, He takes care of me and I take care of everyone else!"
"Uh..." Brownell was embarrassed for a moment, and he said a lot of Barabara before. It turned out that the other party was the top of the real connoisseurs. Now recalling the previous scenes, Brownell felt Disgrace to the Pacific Ocean.
However, as the CEO of a company, the adjustment of mentality must be rapid, and thick-skinned is also a must-have skill. Brownell quickly adjusted it. Thinking of the identity and origin of the other party, Brownell felt that if he was lucky, the other party might take away two of them. At present, only large companies and state institutions can afford them.
Quantum computers are a bit expensive.
"What I'm more concerned about is, can this quantum computer run normally?" Zhang Han asked.
"Of course!" Brownell responded quickly.
Zhang Han was surprised when he heard this, and immediately asked, "Can it reach the theoretical speed?"
But looking back, Zhang Han immediately denied it. If it could 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 leads all the computer engineers of the huge Matrix Technology, Brownell also speaks cautiously and conservatively, thinks for a moment, organizes some language, and responds: "Although I can It runs normally, but it can only reach 0.0000090% of the theoretical peak value." This value is still a bit embarrassing, but Brownell changed his words and said: "But there is no doubt that the potential of quantum computers is quite amazing. This computer can reach 90% of the peak theoretical calculation, and its computing power will exceed 10 times the sum of all conventional computers and supercomputers in the world today!"
Brownell immediately took on the role of a salesman, saying, "It's still very strong, though, and a number of clients have brought it into their organizations, including the alphabet umbrella company. Bought three, NASA bought five, and on the d-wave investor list are Amazon's Jeff Bezos, the CIA's tech arm in-q-tel, etc. Obviously, these Visionary companies and institutions around the world believe that quantum computing has a bright future! It’s just that we have a long way to go to realize this potential right now!”
"I think it can be done now!" Zhang Han said suddenly.
"Um...then... eh? What?" Brownell responded subconsciously, suddenly stunned, 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 smiled, 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. They couldn't help but put down their work and pricked their ears to listen.
Zhang Han did not answer him, but instead asked: "Mr. Fern, how long do you think it will take humans to create a quantum computer in the true sense?"
"At least 30 years from now," Brownell said uncertainly.
"No!" Zhang Han shook his head, "It's now!"
Zhang Han continued to answer his question above and said, "Let me tell you why his calculation efficiency is so poor." He watched everyone present focused on himself, didn't care too much, and paused. After a while, he said, "Because you have only made a complete body, it still lacks a real 'soul'."
"Soul?" Brownell said to himself, his brain thinking fast.
"It's like a person without consciousness, thinking, and soul. It's called a walking dead." Zhang Han said and glanced at the quantum computer. "It's like a walking dead without a soul."
"Then how can I make it not become a walking dead?" Brownell asked subconsciously: "How can I make it have a soul?"
"This is the purpose of my coming to d-wave." Zhang Han said with a faint smile.
A moment later, he said, "Please get me a regular computer."
"What are you still doing? Brewer! Hurry up and get Mr. a PC!" Brownell suddenly growled at the staff in the laboratory. At this moment, his heart was shocked. , Excited, Breathless and Unbelievable.
Is it going to happen today?
A quantum computer in the true sense of human beings! ! !
