Chapter 413 Who is the real technological overlord?

At the end of the meeting, Xu You found Han Shubin alone and exchanged some more specific plans with Han Shubin.

In order to avoid Han Shubin's random thoughts, Xu You felt it was necessary to explain the project establishment to Han Shubin first.

"Academician Han, in fact, the 'Suzhou Project' and the 'Haidao Project' are not two independent projects. The next generation of artificial intelligence is likely to rely on the Haidao-2 quantum computer."

Han Shubin smiled and waved and said: "Professor Xu, you don't have to worry so much. Regardless of whether the island series computers are used in the economic calculation project, our team will go all out to provide the maximum support for the project. After all, whether it is the Nine

Chapters or islands are all part of sutra calculation."

Han Shubin's words are a pun, not only expressing the relationship between the ten books of the Suan Jing, but also the relationship between these items.

Xu You's current status is completely higher than that of Han Shubin. No matter what, Han Shubin needs to fully cooperate with Xu You.

Having known Han Shubin for so long, Xu You knew Han Shubin’s personality very well.

Han Shubin, without exception, submitted all the achievements that Xu You provided for the island project, even if they were not used in the end.

When Xu You wanted to learn more cutting-edge engineering knowledge, Han Shubin also offered to let Xu You study at the University of Science and Technology of China.

"Academician Han, which direction of quantum computers do you think is more suitable as a carrier of artificial intelligence in the future?" Xu You asked.

Regarding Xu You's question, Han Shubin thought for a long time before giving his own answer.

"According to the existing system, superconducting quantum computers are the most mature. In the long run, optical quantum computers have a higher upper limit. In addition to these, ion trap quantum computing, topological quantum computing, etc. also have

They have their own advantages. Which direction is the optimal solution, I can't give a standard answer now."

In the field of quantum computing, it is indeed still at an undecided stage.

However, Xu You still heard Han Shubin's meaning from Han Shubin's words.

Han Shubin did not seem to clearly express his thoughts, but Han Shubin also made it very clear that the current superconducting quantum computer is definitely the most promising one.

Coupled with the continuous breakthroughs made by Xu You and others in the field of superconductivity, the operating costs of superconducting quantum computers are already much lower than before.

If the distant light is farther away, it will be an optical quantum computer.

Xu You has previously successfully solved the programming problem of optical quantum chips and developed the Loongson G1 chip that can be used in mobile phones.

If a more powerful optical quantum chip can be developed that takes into account both computing speed and programmability, then optical quantum computers are also a good choice.

As for other directions...

The current technology is not mature enough, and research on superconducting quantum is not as extensive.

It will be difficult to enter the application in ten or even twenty years, so it is not a good choice.

"Okay, Academician Han, I understand. We will make specific plans later. If you have any ideas, we can contact you at any time."

At this time, Xu You was not in a hurry to decide the direction, but wanted to carefully weigh the pros and cons.

…

On this day, a piece of news came from across the ocean.

Vulture, the latest superconducting quantum computer developed by IBM, was officially released.

Vulture has up to 1121 qubits, and in terms of computing power, it is a quantum computer at the same level as the island quantum computer.

At the same time, because they have the same research direction, vultures can also be programmed.

IBM claims that what Vulture uses is the most powerful quantum computing circuit diagram in the world today.

Next, IBM will build a supercomputer centered on quantum computing and will continue to develop quantum computers with more qubits.

It is expected that within three years, IBM will achieve a "10,000-level" qubit capacity.

The release of Vulture this time is obviously aimed at benchmarking the island quantum computer.

This news also made netizens on the other side of the ocean excited.

"Our vultures should be stronger than their islands. We are finally going to regain our quantum supremacy!"

"Let our vultures compete with their islands to see who is the most powerful quantum computer on the surface!"

"I still doubt whether the island quantum computer really exists. There wouldn't be a chess player in the big box on the island, playing chess with our Alpha Dog? I would rather believe that their people have such strong computing power.

, and I don’t believe they can make such a powerful quantum computer.”

After Xu You received the news, he also took this matter very seriously.

Xu You used the available information to analyze the computing power of the Vulture quantum computer.

Through brain simulation skills, Xu You basically tested the vulture's computing power.

"Compared to the islands, they are slightly inferior, but they are basically quantum computers at the same level."

Xu You's expression was a little grim. He didn't expect that the bald eagle could catch up with our technology so quickly.

The strength of this world's technological overlord cannot be underestimated.

"If this continues, we may not have any advantage in the next generation of superconducting computers." Xu You sighed.

Xu You knew that in terms of overall strength in the quantum realm, Bald Eagle must be stronger.

Now that they have broken through one thousand qubits, it is only a matter of time before they reach the "10,000-level" qubits.

"No, if you want to truly master quantum hegemony, you still have to start from the direction of light quantum."

In the field of quantum computing, Xu You is not satisfied that our technology is at the same level as theirs.

After all, the application value of this technology in the future is really great.

Quantum computing will play an important role in many fields including life sciences, earth sciences, geography, meteorology, biopharmaceuticals, gene sequencing, image processing, etc.

Even complex tasks such as nuclear explosion simulation, oil reservoir simulation, and extreme weather forecasting require the extremely powerful computing power of quantum computers.

After confirming his decision, Xu You contacted Han Shubin and explained his thoughts.

"Academician Han, my plan is that the Haidao-2 quantum computer will continue to maintain the same direction as before, take the superconducting quantum route, and try to work together with supercomputers. As for the economic calculation project, it will take the optical quantum direction and strive to

Achieve the most powerful computing speed."

"I understand, Professor Xu. This is indeed a good choice. I believe we can achieve huge breakthroughs in both directions."
