"D-Wave's standard is more suitable. They launched a commercial quantum computer as early as 2003."
"No, I think Yale University's Superconducting Quantum Computer Laboratory is better. They are the world's top quantum computer research!"
"IBM cooperates with the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Their quantum computer system is more complete."
In terms of quantum computer research, each research lab went in a different direction, so everyone had different views.
But in general, they still supported the technology standards from the top quantum research centers in the United States and Europe.
Suddenly, someone said, "Hongxin's standard theory is also very useful. I've been reading their Science for a month, and I think it may be more advanced than the ideas of other quantum research institutions! "
"Hongxin?" He was the first person to recommend Hongxin. Everyone looked at him and was slightly surprised.
This person had a head of silver hair, and even his beard was white. He was 80 years old. He was wearing a light-colored shirt and was sitting next to a chair with a cup of bitter coffee on the table.
"Academician Rand, do you think the Hongxin Quantum Institute's Science viewpoint is the most correct?" asked Toram Bell in surprise.
He could ignore other people's opinions. However, no one present could ignore Academician Rand's opinion.
That was because he was a world-class physicist. He was currently doing research at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in the United States and a member of the United States National Academy of Sciences. He had many achievements, one of which was that he had won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his research on the experimental method of individual quantum systems!
"I don't dare to say it's correct, but I do think this is a feasible path. If Hongxin can turn their theory into reality, "said Academician Rand as he took a sip of coffee.
"But their actual product is still far from our cutting-edge technology!" said Toram Bell. He did not agree with Academician Rand's statement.
"IBM, Intel, Yale, University of California Santa Barbara, D-Wve, France, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Japan … The research results of these places on quantum computers are much better than the 20-qubit superconducting quantum computer described by Hongxin."
"So I think that although Hongxin Quantum Computer Research Center has proposed another research direction, it is not necessary to use it as a reference."
"Yes." Most of the others had the same opinion as Toram Bell and said, "Maybe in ten years, Hongxin will have some achievements, but for now, they are still relatively behind."
Academician Rand shrugged and said, "Then let time prove it. I hope I can see that day."
He was not sure which side was more advanced. This was a field that was still being explored. Theory only provided direction, and results were the ironclad basis.
After some more discussion, Toran Bell said, "Before the official vote, we can hold a mock vote. During the meeting, 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 present write down the results of their votes.
"Alright, everyone, bring up the voting results. Just to be clear, this is just a small game. It doesn't represent the opinions of the IEEE Association or the American Computer Association, "Toran Bell said as she began to count the votes.
Although there were only 20 people present, they were all important members of the IEEE and the American Computer Association from research institutes all over the world. Their opinions were enough to represent the majority of the people present.
"Currently, the number one vote goes to IBM (International Business Machines Corporation). Nine friends approve of their commercial quantum computer standard."
"The second place is Intel (Intel Integrated Electronics). Seven of our friends have approved of their commercial quantum computer standard."
"The third vote is from Microsoft. Three of our friends approve of their commercial quantum computer standard.
"The second vote is from Canada's D-Wave and America's AMD. One of our friends approves of China's Hongxin quantum computer standard."
Toran Bell announced the results of the small game. It was similar to what she expected. IBM and Intel had the highest votes, while the others had a lot less votes.
The official voting results should be between these two companies. They would not know until the end of the International Supercomputing Conference.
…
A few days later, in New Orleans, US. In order to participate in the International Supercomputing Conference, Lu Zixin brought Su Zhirong, Dai Liangcai, and the others here.
"General Lu, Mr. Su, Professor Dai, I wish you all the best." On the private jet, Fanny threatened to send them off the plane.
"Thank you for your hard work," replied everyone with a smile.
"General Lu, I just heard a rumor from a friend in the US," said Dai Liangcai as he put away his phone.
"What rumor?"
"I heard that a few nights ago, some members of the IEEE and the American Computer Association held a small test vote to choose the various quantum computer standards," said Dai Liangcai.
"Then, Mr. Dai, what was the result?" asked Su Zhirong curiously. This standard was one of the important reasons why they attended the conference.
"IBM and Intel had the same number of votes, and the rest were about the same. But there was one interesting thing. Academician Rand, who won the Nobel Prize in quantum physics, actually supported our company's proposed quantum computer standard. " Dai Liangcai smiled and said, "Academician Rand is really worthy of his reputation. He actually saw the potential of our technology."
"Haha, it seems that the international scientific community still doesn't know enough about us!" said Lu Zixin confidently. "This time, we should make them look at us in a different light!"
Su Zhirong nodded and said, "We have brought the prototype. We will show it at the conference."
"Is the media ready?" Asked Lu Zixin. "When we show it, let the media publicize it and officially launch the commercial quantum computer product concept."
"We are ready. Mainstream media from all over the world are paying attention to this International Supercomputing Conference."
Before the conference began, Lu Zixin still had a lot of work to do. There were many companies and institutions participating this time, so discussions were inevitable.
A few days later, the International Supercomputing Conference officially began and lasted for a week. The companies, universities, and institutions that came to the conference could show their scientific research results at the New Orleans Convention Center and communicate with their peers.
During this time, several important academic conferences would be held to explore related problems in the field of supercomputing.
PS: I recommend a new book by a friend, "Helping Others Makes You Stronger". This is a story of becoming stronger by collecting positive energy. It is very interesting.
