Chapter 384 The only Supporter
"D-Wave's standard is more suitable, and they launched a commercial quantum computer as early as 2003."
"No, I think the Yale Superconducting Quantum Computer Laboratory has a better route. They are among the top in the world in quantum computer research!"
"IBM has cooperated with the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Physics Laboratory, and their system for quantum computers is relatively complete."
When it comes to quantum computers, each laboratory is going in a different direction, so everyone's point of view is also different.
But in general, they still support the top bunch, the technical standards from the top quantum research centers in the Americas and Europe.
Suddenly, someone said: "The standard theory of the Hongxin Group is also very informative. I have repeatedly studied the content of their "Science" journal for a month, thinking that it may be more advanced than the concepts of other quantum research institutions!"
"Red Letter?" He was also the first person to recommend the Red Letter Group. Everyone looked at him and was slightly surprised.
This man had silver hair, and even his beard was white, and he was eighty years old. He was wearing a light-colored shirt and was sitting beside a chair with a cup of bitter coffee on the table.
"Academician Rand, do you think the Red Letter Quantum Institute's view in the journal Science is the most correct?" Toran Bell asked in surprise.
He can ignore other people's opinions. But the opinion of this Rand academician, no one present can ignore it.
Because he is one of the world's top physicists, he is now doing research at the National Bureau of Standards and Technology in the United States and is an academician of the National Academy of Sciences. Won the Nobel Prize in Physics!
"I dare not say it is correct, but I do think this is a feasible way. If the Hongxin Group can turn their theory into reality." Academician Rand took a sip of coffee and said calmly.
"But their actual products are still a lot worse than our cutting-edge technology!" Toran Bell disagreed with Academician Rand's statement.
"IBM, INTEL, Yale, University of California, Santa Barbara, D-Wve, as well as France, the United Kingdom, Sweden, island countries... The research results of quantum computers in these places are currently higher than the 20 described by the Red Letter Group. A superconducting quantum computer with qubits is much higher."
"So I think that although the Hongxin Quantum Computer Research Center has proposed another research direction, there is no need for reference."
"Yeah." Most of the others held the same view as Toran Bell and said, "Maybe in ten years, Red Letter will make some achievements, but for now, they are still relatively backward."
Academician Rand shrugged and said, "Then let time tell, I hope I can see that day."
He is also not sure which side is more advanced. This is a field that is still being explored. Theory only provides direction, and results are the same iron basis.
Everyone discussed for a while, and Toran Bell said: "Before the official vote, we can have a preview vote. During the conference, we can focus on observing and discussing the results of the vote."
He asked his assistant to take out a pen and paper and let the members in the room write down the results of their votes.
"Okay, let's get the voting results. Let me explain in advance that this is just a small game and does not represent the opinions of our IEEE Association and the American Computer Society." Tolan Bell said, and began to count the votes.
Although there were only about 20 people present, they were all from research institutions around the world, as well as important members of the IEEE and the American Computer Society. Their opinions were enough to represent the majority of people.
"Currently, the top vote is IBM (International Business Machines), with nine friends who endorse their commercial quantum computer standard."
"Second vote went to INTEL (Intel Integrated Electronics) with seven friends who endorsed their commercial quantum computer standard."
"The third one was from Microsoft, and three friends recognized it."
"There are two votes from D-Wave of Canada and AMD of the United States. A friend recognized the quantum computer standard of Huaxia Hongxin Group."
Toran Bell announced the results of the small game, which was similar to what he thought, mainly because IBM and INTEL had the highest support rates, and the others were much worse.
At that time, the official voting results should be produced between the two companies - this will not be known until the end of the Global Supercomputer Conference.
...
A few days later, in New Orleans, USA, in order to participate in this global supercomputer conference, Lu Zixin brought Su Zhirong, Dai Liangcai and others here.
"President Lu, President Su, and Professor Dai, I wish you all success in your work." On the private plane, Fanny threatened to take them off the plane.
"Thank you for your hard work." Everyone smiled back.
"Mr. Lu, I just heard a gossip that a friend in the United States told me." Dai Liangcai put away his phone and said.
"what news?"
"I heard that just a few nights ago, some members of the IEEE and the American Computer Society conducted a small-scale trial vote to select various standards for quantum computers." Dai Liangcai said.
"Then Dai Lao, what was the result?" Su Zhirong asked curiously, this standard was also one of the important purposes for them to attend the meeting.
"The votes of IBM and INTEL are evenly matched, and the others are about the same. But it is very interesting that Academician Rand, a former Nobel physicist who has made remarkable achievements in the quantum field, actually supports the quantum computer standard proposed by our company." Dai Liangcai smiled. Dao, "Academician Rand is really well-deserved, and he can actually see our technical potential."
"Haha, it seems that the international scientific community still doesn't know enough about us!" Lu Zixin said confidently, "This time they should be impressed!"
Su Zhirong nodded and said, "We have already brought the prototype, and we will show it at the conference."
"Is the media work ready?" Lu Zixin asked. "When we show it, let the media hype it up and officially launch the concept of commercial quantum computer products."
"Get ready, this global supercomputing conference has attracted attention from mainstream media around the world."
Before the start of the conference, Lu Zixin still has a lot of work to do. There are many companies and institutions participating in this conference, so discussions are inevitable.
A few days later, the official start of this session of the World Supercomputer Conference, a week. Companies, universities, and institutions that come to the conference can showcase their scientific research results and communicate with their peers at the New Orleans Convention Center.
In addition, several important academic conferences will be held during the period to explore related issues in the field of supercomputers.
PS: Recommend a friend's new book "Helping others will become stronger", this is a story about collecting positive energy to become stronger, very interesting.
