Chapter 217 Then Let’s Get One!
As an expert in quantum physics, Yue Jiafeng immediately noticed some very professional content in the document.
With just a preliminary judgment, Yue Jiafeng knew that Ning Chen's result document must have very high research value.
With excitement, Yue Jiafeng carefully studied Ning Chen's plan.
The content of the entire document is very rich, with more than a hundred pages of content, and except for some design drawings, the writing is also very concise and capable, without any redundant words.
Looking at Yue Jiafeng's serious expression, people around him did not dare to disturb Yue Jiafeng, knowing that this must be another very important scientific research result.
Speaking of which, before Yue Jiafeng saw Ning Chen's achievement document, he was not willing to engage in any quantum computer project.
Yue Jiafeng believes that this is a high-investment and low-return project. If it doesn't go well, it may end up in vain.
But when Yue Jiafeng gradually understood Ning Chen's design ideas, Yue Jiafeng's thoughts gradually began to change.
If they can really build this quantum computer, then the world's technological landscape may start to change from now on!
"No, you have to be cautious about this matter, be cautious, be more cautious..."
Yue Jiafeng tried hard to control the excitement in his heart so as not to let his emotions affect his judgment.
But even so, after Yue Jiafeng calmly evaluated the results in this document, he still felt that this was something worth trying.
Thinking of this, Yue Jiafeng no longer thought about asking other experts to come over to discuss this.
Anyway, we will definitely have to find Ning Chen in the end, so why not just call Ning Chen over and then decide on the future plans.
…
After receiving Yue Jiafeng's reply message, Ning Chen once again readily agreed to Yue Jiafeng's trip to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Ning Chen arrived at the Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully. This time, Yue Jiafeng did not directly call everyone for a meeting like last time. Instead, he called Ning Chen to his office first.
"Teacher Ning, please come here in person this time. But there is nothing we can do about it. After seeing the quantum computer solution you designed, I was really shocked. There are some things that I must follow carefully. You communicate in person.”
"It's no trouble, Academician Yue, I've been ready to come to the Chinese Academy of Sciences for a long time." Ning Chen said with a smile.
This time, Yue Jiafeng didn't treat Ning Chen too much and asked Ning Chen many professional questions directly.
The reason why Yue Jiafeng did not call other experts over was not only because he did not want to expand the matter for the time being, but also because Yue Jiafeng was very confident in his professional abilities.
At least what other experts can think of, Yue Jiafeng can definitely think of, and can accurately judge whether Ning Chen's solutions will work.
"Teacher Ning, during the development of quantum computers, how do you ensure the stability of qubits?"
Compared with the bits of ordinary computers, qubits are more susceptible to interference from environmental noise, leading to decoherence and dephasing of quantum states, thus affecting the accuracy and reliability of quantum computing.
Therefore, how to achieve long-term stability of qubits is a very important and difficult issue.
Ning Chen was well prepared for this question and answered without thinking:
"Academician Yue, I have considered this issue before, and for this reason I specially chose the idea of a superconducting quantum computer. You can take a look at this superconducting quantum circuit first..."
Yue Jiafeng listened to Ning Chen's explanation carefully, maintaining his concentration and not daring to relax at all.
After understanding Ning Chen's explanation, Yue Jiafeng also felt that this was indeed a solution that could maximize the stability of qubits so far.
"I see... Teacher Ning, if I remember correctly, the superconducting material here was also developed by you, right?"
Ning Chen nodded when he heard this and said:
"Yes, Academician Yue, this is indeed a type of iron-based superconducting material that I have researched. This superconducting material has a relatively high superconducting critical temperature, and it has been experimentally verified that it can be processed into wire strips. After comprehensive evaluation in all aspects, this is the most suitable superconducting material for application in this superconducting quantum circuit."
In terms of research on superconducting materials, Yue Jiafeng has great trust in Ning Chen, because this is Ning Chen's main research direction. Even looking around the world, Ning Chen is undoubtedly one of the most cutting-edge experts in the field of superconductivity.
At this time, Yue Jiafeng suddenly realized something important.
Ning Chen's various research results in the past few years have gradually begun to weave into a research network.
Ning Chen's various achievements can actually complement each other, and Ning Chen's entire design will not be affected by the lack of a certain technology.
Ning Chen is only twenty-two years old now. Given time, Ning Chen's achievements will probably reach an unprecedented level.
Next, Yue Jiafeng asked Ning Chen several very critical questions, including the accuracy of quantum gate operations, control of quantum entanglement, error correction in quantum computers, etc.
For every question raised by Yue Jiafeng, Ning Chen could quickly give his own answer, and every answer Ning Chen gave made Yue Jiafeng very satisfied.
After asking the last question, Yue Jiafeng was completely impressed by Ning Chen.
"Quantum computer...then let's build one!"
At this moment, Yue Jiafeng no longer deliberately suppressed his emotions and spoke out with some excitement.
Of course, Yue Jiafeng didn't really become impulsive all of a sudden, but after listening to Ning Chen's wonderful answers, he became more confident in Ning Chen's plans.
Even though this research is still a research with certain risks, after comprehensive assessment of various situations, Yue Jiafeng is willing to take certain risks for this.
"Teacher Ning, you may need to stay at the Chinese Academy of Sciences for a while longer. Next, we will study the specific plan of the project together. If the project can be successfully applied for, we will start research immediately."
Although Yue Jiafeng himself is responsible for the application of various scientific research projects, after all, he has to be the nominal person in charge of the project this time, and Yue Jiafeng cannot make the decision on the project alone.
Moreover, the scientific research funds required for this project will be a very huge amount, and application will face various difficulties.
"Okay, then please ask Academician Yue to help me communicate with the school, because I can't leave the school for too long without any reason."
After all, Ning Chen is now a researcher at Shengzhou University and enjoys the salary and various benefits of Shengzhou University. He can no longer go out for long-term exchanges as casually as he did when he was in school.
"Don't worry, leave it to me to communicate with the school. Now you are working on a large national project. You don't need to worry about welfare issues. The Chinese Academy of Sciences will help you solve these problems."
With Yue Jiafeng's promise, Ning Chen no longer worried about these problems and could focus on the scientific research project plan with peace of mind.
…
After Ning Chen and Yue Jiafeng completed writing the project plan together, they submitted the project application.
Since the entire project requires the support of huge scientific research funds, this project has been reviewed at all levels and evaluated by a number of relevant experts.
The entire review and evaluation process was not smooth, because some experts believed that the investment in this project was too large and that the desired results might not be achieved, and they expressed opposition to the establishment of this project.
However, there are still more experts supporting this project, because several countries have now carried out research on quantum computers, which is enough to show that research on quantum computers is very necessary.
Even if the desired results are not achieved in the end, this is not a reason to give up this research completely.
In the end, after everyone's efforts, this project was successfully applied for and received support from the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
The members of this project include many experts in related fields across the country. Most of them come from domestic scientific research institutions and universities such as Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yanda University, and Shuimu University.
On the day when the project started, experts came to the Chinese Academy of Sciences one after another to hold the project opening meeting.
Before that, Ning Chen specifically asked Yue Jiafeng not to reveal to others that the design of this quantum computer was the work of Ning Chen alone, but the joint design of the entire team.
Ning Chen does not want to attract excessive attention from others, because this will bring more trouble to Ning Chen and even affect Ning Chen's normal life.
Yue Jiafeng also agreed to Ning Chen's request, and at the same time he admired Ning Chen more and more.
If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they would be eager for others to know that such a great plan came from their own design.
Ning Chen, on the other hand, was able to remain calm and calm. This kind of mentality was really hard to find in a twenty-two-year-old young man.
Before the topic opening meeting began, the meeting staff first signed a confidentiality agreement with each participant to ensure that the content of today's meeting would not be leaked to the outside world.
In fact, before inviting each expert, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has conducted a strict security review and background investigation on each expert to ensure that each participant has a high degree of credibility.
After signing the confidentiality agreement, Ning Chen sat in a corner of the audience, looking inconspicuous.
Ning Chen had met some of the experts present today, but most of them were meeting for the first time.
They were also a little surprised by Ning Chen's appearance, but considering Ning Chen's research results in the field of superconductivity, it was understandable that Ning Chen could participate in this project.
