"Mr. Pleater?" said Bai Chenghui with a puzzled expression.
"Oh, you're welcome to visit IBM's computer technology conference in the next few days …" said Pleater as he calmed himself down and sent Bai Chenghui away.
"How can it be true? There's already such a powerful quantum computer in the world? "asked Pleater as soon as Bai Chenghui left. He immediately made a call.
"I know you're shocked, but according to the latest information we have, it's most likely true. The information submitted by Hongxin is accurate, and they even brought the test records of the quantum computer! " The person on the other end of the phone was one of the core members of the American Computer Association, who was also an electronics engineer at IBM.
"Where is it?" asked Pleater. He had to see it with his own eyes.
"It's not with us. The review team just sent someone over. If you're interested, you can come with us."
"Of course I'm going. This must be a lie. I have to expose it!" said Pleater anxiously.
He was not the only one with the same idea. The IEEE and the American Computer Association both sent their own members to the review team to verify the authenticity of the Hongxin quantum computer.
However, this was a real thing. With the support of complete information and data, as well as video demonstrations and other evidence, they could only confirm that the quantum computer submitted by the Hongxin Group really reached the performance advertised in their information. The computing speed was ten billion times faster than the current top computer!
"This … this … they realized their theory in less than half a year?" Toran Bell stuttered as she recalled the paper in the journal Science.
He remembered that when he was discussing with Academician Rand and other colleagues, he thought this was just a new theory. It described a possible way to realize a superconducting quantum computer. Who knew that in just a short time, Hongxin's quantum computer research institute had already created it!
"Ten billion times! Oh my god! " Pleater looked at the data repeatedly and exclaimed, "It can complete the calculation of our supercomputer in 317.09 years in one second!"
"All the supercomputers in America … No, all the supercomputers in the world combined are no match for it!"
"Miracle! I saw a miracle! " The leader of the review team became excited. "I've been participating in the world's top 500 reviews for more than ten years, but this year, the speed of this quantum computer is the fastest I've ever seen!"
"The gap between it and other supercomputers is like the gap between a supercomputer and an ordinary computer. It's as big as the Mariana Trench!"
The other members all sighed with emotion. "This result is really too amazing!"
"This year's number one supercomputer will definitely be it!"
"I thought that IBM and Intel's quantum computers could change the situation of the computing industry. Who knew that such a monster would appear!"
"Compared to this, other quantum computers can't even be called quantum computers!"
"With this, does our supercomputing ranking still have any meaning?" Suddenly, someone raised a question, making the entire review team silent.
Yes, the performance of this superconducting quantum computer was too strong. What kind of ranking would the first place surpass the second place by ten billion times? Then what was the point of this list?
Originally, the purpose of the ranking was to encourage research institutes to develop stronger supercomputers. Now that they had seen such a powerful superconducting quantum computer, other research institutes would probably give up on traditional supercomputers and develop quantum computers instead.
After a moment of silence, an executive from the American Computer Society said, "Maybe quantum computers shouldn't be included in this ranking list!"
"Yes, this is the supercomputer ranking list. Quantum computers are a new type of computer. Whether or not they should be included in the ranking list needs to be discussed. Our rules need to be improved. "Pleater immediately agreed.
"But in terms of computing speed, it is indeed number one," someone emphasized.
"Conceptually, quantum computers are also supercomputers. It should be ranked number one!"
The review team was arguing non-stop. Toram Bell said, "We need to have a meeting to discuss this matter. The rules of this year's supercomputer ranking list must be changed!"
…
In the New Orleans Convention Center, scholars and experts in the field of computing from all over the world were looking at a new technology product display.
The latest superconducting quantum computer from Intel Integrated Electronics!
On the display stand, a blonde beauty was introducing their product.
"This is the latest superconducting quantum computer that we developed together with our partner, QuTech Quantum Computing Laboratory. In this superconducting quantum computer, we can control hundreds of qubits and overcome the interference and unexpected effects of the superconducting quantum chip in a normal temperature environment. "
"It can already achieve programming, neural mimicry, learning and other functions. It will be further improved and completely surpass current supercomputers."
"In the next few years, we will increase the qubits of the quantum computer to thousands or even tens of thousands. It is foreseeable that commercial quantum computers are just around the corner! "
"Clap, clap, clap …" The audience applauded. Many experts and scholars from various countries looked at the superconducting quantum computer with curiosity and admiration.
"Sigh, it has only been less than a month since Google announced the development of the latest superconducting quantum chip. I didn't expect to see Intel's technological achievement again this year!" A scholar from Huaxia exclaimed, "In the battle for quantum supremacy, Huaxia is behind again!"
He was an expert in quantum physics from a top university in Huaxia. He had always been very concerned about quantum technology products in the industry.
"Mr. Tian, do you think we still have a chance to compete for quantum supremacy?" A Huaxia expert next to him asked.
Speaking of this, Mr. Tian showed some concern and said, "A few years ago, the technology that can control 50 qubits was called quantum supremacy in the field of computing. So far, our country has not achieved it."
"However, Intel, Google, and IBM have achieved this standard. I personally think that quantum supremacy now should be the first company to develop a commercial quantum computer. "
"Whoever does it first will be able to set the standards and rules in this field and dominate the market. Huaxia is still trying to catch up on this road. I hope we can catch up fast enough. In the field of traditional computing, we have been dominated for decades. Quantum computers, please don't repeat the same mistake! "
