Chapter 64 Science without Borders? (Seeking for Further Reading)

The New Year’s Eve flies by faster than any other time.

When people boarded the train to the future, the chips manufactured deep in Washan had completed packaging testing and were quickly sent to the mobile phone manufacturing plant in Huaqi.

After the news reached the Science and Technology Committee, Shan Xing immediately called Zheng Housheng.

"Mr. Zheng, I heard that the chip has been manufactured? Is it so fast?"

Zheng Housheng held the phone and smiled: "Yes, but only two thousand chips have been made this time. We are stepping up assembly and testing here."

"You still want to expose it in the form of a finished mobile phone, right?" Shan Xing previously planned to let Zhenghousheng expose the existence of the chip first, but Zhenghousheng has always disagreed.

Zheng Housheng looked at the concept drawing of the mobile phone on his computer and said: "President Shan, we are not only making chips for Huaji this time, we also hope that our digital terminal manufacturers in China can rest assured to use our locally developed and self-produced chips. High-end chips.”

"If the chip is released first, everyone will always have doubts about the performance of the chip."

"After all, our domestic chips have never had a good reputation."

"The market situation has been unable to open up, and foreign chips will take advantage of it."

"Now that foreign chip prices remain high, domestic digital terminal manufacturers are waiting for us to have a high-end chip. This demand is real."

"But who will be the first to eat crabs is also a real question."

"If no one is willing to do it, everyone will ultimately choose more secure foreign chips in order to survive."

"Because of this, we have to be the first to eat the crab."

"Even if something goes wrong this time, it will be us, Huaji, who will bear the loss. If the chip is not verified on the market, we will never know where the problem will appear."

Only then did Shan Xing understand that Hua Ji wanted to bear the cost of trial and error first.

"Mr. Zheng, let everything go according to your wishes. How long will it take for the mobile phone to be launched?"

"It will take at least a month for us to test the performance of the complete machine. If it is launched, it will involve early publicity, so we have to wait until at least May or June."

"Okay, you can ask us if you have any needs, and we will try our best to cooperate with you."

"Thank you, President Shan, for your support!"

After Shan Xing hung up the phone, he received a call from Fu Daobin not long after.

"President, do you remember that we had to assign quantum mechanics experts to Luo Yao's side before? Now Luo Yao asked about this and said that none of the experts have arrived yet."

Shan Xing had a headache when he thought about this. Several experts he called were quite old. When he called before, the experts said they would wait until after the Chinese New Year.

Scientific research in the quantum field is very unpopular, not to mention the dilemma that a project cannot be completed for two or three years. In the long run, experts have also become lazy. They subconsciously thought that the research work Shan Xing told them was not urgent, and waiting until after the year would have no impact.

Now Luo Yao asked, making Shan Xing feel even more embarrassed.

I had obviously boasted that I could quickly go to Washan in Haikou, but now the experts have not set off yet.

Shan Xing reluctantly told Fu Daobin the truth of the matter. Fu Daobin knew that Shan Xing found this matter difficult to handle, so he wanted him to find a way out.

The leader hinted, but Fu Daobin could only say: "When Luo Yao has a problem, can he ask experts remotely to solve it?"

Shan Xing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Of course, it will be convenient for communication this way! The experts don't need to travel so far."

Shan Xing knew that Luo Yao was smart, but the field of quantum chips was completely blank across Blue Star. It would undoubtedly be a fantasy to create a quantum chip with just a few of them.

Therefore, at this juncture, Shan Xing did not want to spend too much time on illusory matters. For him, the chips that Hua Ji was about to ship were more important.

Fu Daobin then synchronized the information with Luo Yao to contact the experts online at any time. Luo Yao's mind was spinning quickly and he guessed why the experts didn't want to come to Washan.

He was eating the potato chips Luo Sheng bought from Shanxia, ​​feeling a little unhappy for no reason.

Are you looking down on him?

You don’t think he can make it, right?

Then he had to build it for them to see!

Luo Yao then began to organize his thoughts step by step.

Information in traditional chips is usually expressed in the form of current or voltage. For example, in photoelectric encoders, temperature transmitters, etc., information is composed of current, which is 0 or 1.

It's okay to say that the problem to be solved is simple, and the computing power of the chip will not be too bad. However, if you want to calculate something like automatically ordering meals for the entire company according to everyone's taste, this kind of calculation requires an exhaustive algorithm, which is required by ordinary chips. The calculation takes a long time.

But quantum chips are different.

A quantum contains two pieces of information at the same time, that is, it contains 0 and 1 at the same time. In this way, as long as there are 100 qubits, it can contain 2100 pieces of information.

This is why the calculation difficulty of traditional chips is 2^(N/2), while the calculation difficulty of quantum chips is N^3.

When the variable N indicates that 1,000 digits are to be calculated, the calculation difficulty of the traditional chip is 3.27339112177× 10^150 times.

The computational difficulty of the quantum chip is 1 x 10^9, which is significantly smaller than that of ordinary chips.

To make a quantum chip, you have to choose between optical quantum or superconducting.

The photon is based on the fundamental particle photon. Photon is the quantum of electromagnetic radiation. It has particle properties, such as energy, momentum and spin. No matter how far the photons are from each other, the states of two or more photons are related.

So using this property, split a photon in half like a watermelon, and the two photons that come out will have quantum properties.

Another way is to use superconducting current to solve it.

Luo Yao thought about it. If you want to control superconducting current, you only need a Joseph junction. It would be troublesome to control photons. You have to develop a device to split a photon in half.

In this case, the road in front of Luo Yao is very simple.

Take the superconducting route.

The road is chosen, but the quantum is fragile.

Once the environment is disturbed, the superposition state and entanglement state of the quantum will disappear. The quantum properties will disappear. What is there to calculate?

If this happens when playing games, the quantum properties disappear, and the girl fighting side by side with you may mutate in front of you and become a new type of BOSS.

The girl becomes the boss. Is there anything more frustrating for players?

Luo Yao thinks that if he really develops this quantum chip, it will probably cause a lot of trouble for game companies.

Luo Yao looked through the latest research on superconducting quantum circuits and found that the research of the entire Blue Star is still at the basic stage. Only the quantum team of MIT College published an article on the more interference-resistant two-level system fluxonium.

Fluxonium?

Luo Yao searched for information on the Internet for an hour and finally understood that fluxonium is a special circuit structure composed of hundreds of Josephson structures. Under this structure, the control accuracy of a single quantum bit can be ensured to reach 99.5%.

This data is good.

Luo Yao wanted to know the other party's detailed experimental data, so he wrote an email to the quantum team of MIT College, hoping to get the experimental data.

However, Luo Yao forgot that the quantum team of MIT College was a team supported by the Ugly Country.

One day later, he received a rejection letter from the other party.

"Isn't it said that science has no borders?"

"This is really a big joke."

This incident left an indelible mark in Luo Yao's 16-year-old heart. He originally thought that the conflict between them and the Ugly Country was only about certain specific technologies. Now it seems that the Ugly Country is really guarding against them in all aspects.

Fortunately, Luo Yao has a system.

There are still 20 points left in the system, and you can buy some one-time talents.

Frustrated, he opened the system mall, and there are really all kinds of talents in it.

But he looked around and didn't find anything related to quantum mechanics.

Luo Yao decided to change his mind and look for a talent that can help him draw a quantum chip design model diagram.

After a quick look, he found that the talent of [Extreme Error Correction] met his requirements.

"After the host obtains this talent, he can correct errors in the provided documents to help the host obtain the most correct technology."

"As long as I provide the first version of the quantum chip design model diagram, this talent can directly help correct it to the correct one?"

After receiving the system's affirmative reply, Luo Yao thought that this talent was indeed good. He looked at the price. 10 points can be used for three days.

After estimating the time, Luo Yao felt that he should be able to do it, so he began to design the quantum chip design model diagram according to his ideas.

On the other side.

After more than half a month of observation, the people of Comet Company found that their chip prices had increased, but Chinese companies did not buy their chips in large quantities, so they were a little anxious. Early in the morning, Jin Dazhi called the people of the Ugly Country Business Group.

"Representative, our chip sales in China are decreasing. Is it related to our price increase? Do you think we should lower the price?"

"Jin Dazhi, you are too anxious. They are in the Chinese New Year period now. It is normal for them to have low sales. Why are you panicking?"

"If you continue to panic like this, how can you accomplish anything?"

Jin Dazhi wiped the sweat off his face and said, "But I see that their people have begun to support domestic products. Our daily chemical products and cosmetics products are already unsalable. If this continues, I am really worried that it will affect the chip industry."

"You have to think about it this way. They are willing to support domestic products now because our previous regulations have worked. They want to express their Their dissatisfaction, but how long can this last? "

"After being used to our products, can they get used to those domestic products? "

"They can't get used to small things, let alone chips. What kind of chips can China produce now? "

"So, sales will pick up, don't worry."

Jin Dazhi was still very reluctant: "Then should we continue to wait?"

"Of course we have to wait. China's digital terminal companies are about to start work, and soon they will face a situation where there are no chips available. "

"After a while, our people will also go to China for exchanges, and then we will urge them to purchase chips as soon as possible." The people in the business group said, with an ambiguous smile on their faces.
