In the editorial department of Science Magazine in the United States, a group of editors were arguing over the next issue of Science.
Science Magazine was established in 1880 with the investment of Edison. Its purpose was to publish important and original scientific research and scientific research summaries. Later, it was changed to a magazine. With the support of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, it gradually developed into one of the most authoritative and influential academic journals in the world.
For people in the scientific community of various countries, being able to publish their own scientific research papers in this journal was already a noble honor.
Therefore, the content published in every issue of the journal was extremely strict and had to be reviewed repeatedly.
For this issue, the editors were discussing what to put on the front page.
"This one is not bad. It's from Italy, Dr. Angelo's new idea of curing cancer. I think this one is good enough for the front page!" said one of the editors.
"No, I think this one is not good enough for the front page. Every year, we receive a large number of cancer treatment methods. However, it turns out that many of these are just conjectures and can't be on the front page. " Another editor said, "I think we should put the scientific research paper of the California Astronomical Observatory on the front page. Their findings are more meaningful to astronomy!"
"I think it's better to report the new results of Google's AI research institute. Obviously, our readers are more interested in these!" The editors argued incessantly. In fact, it was also because there were no more significant scientific findings and results recently that they could not decide what to put on the front page.
"Stop arguing! Publish this! "At this time, the editor walked in with a document in his hand. It was a recently received submission that he had just finished reading.
"What is this?" A few editors asked curiously. The editors in the room were all knowledgeable people in the scientific community and were very familiar with cutting-edge science.
"An article from Huaxia. They have made a new breakthrough in the field of quantum physics!" said the editor. "That's unexpected!"
"What breakthrough?" asked the editors.
"Quantum computer. They have mastered the manufacturing method of superconducting quantum computers and can create miniature superconducting quantum computer chips. According to the article, they only need one or two years to make superconducting quantum computers replace all traditional computers and even supercomputers! The computing power will be the best in the world, "the editor exclaimed." This time, they are at the forefront of the world! "
"One or two years? How is that possible? " Retorted an editor who was familiar with quantum computers. "That's too exaggerated. Quantum computers still have a long way to go!"
"Chinese people like to boast!" An editor complained, "Every year, we receive a large number of papers from China, and only a small number of them are qualified to be published. There's even a lot of very careless content! "
"No, you'll know once you see it. There is enough evidence to prove that they have mastered such technology, "the chief editor insisted." We can also send someone to check the situation. "
Soon, the Science magazine contacted the Quantum Computer Research Institute in Hongxin and asked about it. They even sent someone to visit the institute.
After some confirmation, they felt that this scientific research paper on superconducting quantum computers was absolutely correct. They decided to arrange for it to be on the front page of the next issue of Science magazine!
Soon after, a new issue of the journal Science was published. Everyone in the world who was interested in the development of science and technology read this issue of the journal in the shortest time possible.
Canada, D-Wave Systems. They had developed a 16-qubit superconducting quantum computer more than a decade ago. However, the quantum computer they had developed could not handle complex computing problems.
After years of development, they had gradually optimized and updated it and could now do better.
At this time, the chief researcher of their quantum computer research department, George, was reading the latest issue of Science magazine. As soon as he saw the cover, his eyes were attracted.
On the cover, there were eye-catching words, "Major breakthrough in quantum computer, complete all the operations of traditional computers!"
"A new breakthrough in quantum computer?" George's heart skipped a beat and he immediately opened it to read.
He only took a few glances and was deeply attracted by the content. The article introduced that the team had found a new way to make a superconducting quantum chip. According to this method, they could easily control more qubits. In terms of volume, performance, and most importantly, cost, they could achieve the most ideal results so far!
"Oh my god, they actually did it!" George's heart was full of emotions. For more than a decade, their team had been improving and developing the superconducting quantum computer.
However, until today, their superconducting quantum computer was still not qualified to enter the market. Just the programming function of the superconducting quantum computer was a tricky problem for them.
According to the description, their superconducting quantum computer could not only achieve the control of multiple qubits, but its functions could also cover the range of functions of all traditional computers and its computing power was superior!
"Which country's team made this? Is it the United States, Germany, or Italy? "George hurriedly searched for the origin of this team in the journal.
"Is it China?" George found the information he wanted and was even more surprised. He remembered that in the field of quantum computers, the Chinese research team had always been behind.
It seemed that a few years ago, they could only control ten qubits. More than a decade ago, their company could control sixteen qubits. The gap between them was also at least ten years.
However, today, the other party was actually ahead of them! This was unbelievable!
"No! This is not the Quantum Research Institute in Shanghai, China, but the Quantum Research Center of Hongxin Group! " George found the difference. It turned out that this Quantum Research Center was not the one he knew before, but a newly established research center.
He hurriedly searched for information about this quantum computer research center on the Internet and was even more stunned. This research center had only been established for more than half a year, but it had already completed the journey of more than a decade and was ahead of them!
"What kind of monsters are they?" George could not help but sigh. He still remembered the last time when the International Quantum Technology Research Conference was held in Canada, the scientists from China in the field of quantum technology were silent and could not produce any achievements.
At that time, he and the scientists from other countries did not take China's quantum computer research seriously. Who knew that in such a short time, the other party had already come to this point. They were really hiding their strength!
