Technology Bigshot Chapter 285: : Wall Street is crazy again]
The next moment, there was a low-pitched 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%...has reached more than 80% of the theoretical computing peak, and it's still soaring, it's not the end!!"
"This is the first true quantum computer!"
"This is a historic moment, and this is a moment the world will remember!"
The reporters and computer practitioners present watched the scenes of the video content. Everyone in the video was so excited and incoherent that they could not suppress their emotions.
As the video ends, it finally freezes 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: Finally, China is ahead of 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 a little Not surprisingly.
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, this reporter can't help but hate Zhang Han's existence. If he doesn't appear here, it will 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 than usual, but instead announces one content answering one content format.
"Hello, Mr. Fern Brownell, I'm Reuters reporter Kerrier. I would like to ask: If quantum computers are successfully commercialized, the powerful functions of quantum computers will be in the short term. Directly disintegrating the existing information security system, the current a algorithm will be insecure and vulnerable in front of quantum computers. All privacy will be cracked by the simplest brute force method, and the birth of quantum computers will bear the brunt of A test in the field 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 conventional conventional computers will never be far behind when it comes to 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 no security system guarantee, the birth of quantum computer will be a disaster, the government will definitely supervise, even the application is limited to national security and military information system, not at all May be popular for civilian use.
This first problem is so serious, and it is also a fact that has to be faced. Obviously, since it is announced 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're right, this kind of worry is real, and it's impossible. Neglected. The parallel computing capability of quantum computers enables all algorithms of current conventional computers to be quickly brute force cracked within an acceptable time. As far as conventional computers are concerned, no mathematical algorithm is currently absolutely safe, even relatively None."
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. , once it is read, it 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 will definitely not be able to beat adults. For one reason, when both are adults, it is different."
"That's right!" Fern Brownell took over the right to speak after Zhang Han's answer, and said: "Any technology has both positive and negative sides, but it is not without solutions. The significance of quantum computers to human beings It is self-evident that it will become a powerful driving force for the development of human science. It has a powerful driving effect. We cannot completely deny the positive and positive effects because of the possible negative effects."
The announcement and response of the first message ended, and Brownell began to announce the second message, "xlous and d-wave officially jointly announced that they will reach a transaction contract of up to 60 billion US dollars, d -wave will build the world's first super quantum computer for Matrix Technology xlous!"
The audience was stunned for a while, 60 billion sky-high transactions, 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 had no effect. The appearance of the signs has been soaring. Since the opening of the market, the market value of the company has risen from the initial US$8.9 billion to US$15 billion, and at this moment, it has skyrocketed to US$87 billion.
