Is it normal for a top student with an EQ of 20 to create a chip?

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 the Washan Mountains had completed packaging and 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 this time we only made 2000 yuan chips. 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 safer 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 put on the market?"

"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 got 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. Over the long term, 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 deal with simple problems, and the computing power of the chip won't be too bad. But if you want to calculate something like automatically ordering meals for everyone in the company according to everyone's taste, this 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 computational difficulty of quantum chips is N^3.

When the variable N indicates that 1000 digits are to be calculated, the calculation difficulty of the traditional chip is 3.27339112177×10^150 times.

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

To make a quantum chip, you have to choose between optical quantum or superconducting.Light quantum is based on the basic particle of photon. Photon is a quantum of electromagnetic radiation. It has particle properties, such as energy, momentum and spin. No matter how far the distance between photons is, the state between two or more photons It's all related.

So we use this characteristic to split a photon in half like a watermelon, so that the two photons that come out can have quantum properties.

The other is to use superconducting current to solve the problem.

Luo Yao thought for a while. To control superconducting current, he only needed a Joseph junction. To control photons, it was troublesome. He also had to develop a device to split a photon in half.

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

Go the superconducting route.

The path has been chosen, but it is quantum fragile.

Once the environment is disturbed, the quantum superposition state and entangled state will disappear, and the quantum characteristics will disappear. Then what is the point of calculation?
If the quantum properties disappear while playing a game, the girl fighting alongside him might mutate before his eyes and become a new type of BOSS.

When a girl becomes a BOSS, is there anything more frustrating for players than this?
Luo Yao felt that if he really developed this kind of quantum chip, he would probably harm many game companies.

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

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 qubit can be ensured to reach 99.5%.

This data is OK.

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

But Luo Yao forgot that the quantum team at MIT was a team supported by Scaron.

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

"Didn't it say that science knows no borders?"

"It's really a big joke."

This incident left an indelible mark on Luo Yao's 16-year-old heart. Originally, he thought that the conflict between them and Scaron was only in certain specific technologies. Now it seems that Scaron is really in every aspect. Be on guard against them.

Fortunately, Luo Yao has a system.

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

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

But he looked around and found nothing related to quantum mechanics.

Luo Yao decided to change his mind and look for talents who could help him draw the quantum chip design model diagram.

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

"After the host obtains this talent, he can make corrections on 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, this talent can directly help correct it?"

After getting a positive reply from the system, Luo Yao thought that this talent was indeed good. He looked at the price and saw that it was 10 points and could be used for three days.

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

the other side.

After more than half a month of observation, people from Comet Company found that the price of their chips had increased, but Chinese companies did not buy their chips in large quantities, so they became a little anxious. Early in the morning, Jin Dazhi gave Si Someone from Chiron's business team called.

"Representative, the sales of our chips in China are getting less and less. 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, so it is normal for sales to be low. Why are you panicking?"

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

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

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

"If they are used to our products, can they get used to using those domestic products?"

"It's impossible for them to 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 shall we continue to wait?"

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

"In a while, our people will also go to China for exchanges. At that time, we will urge them to purchase chips as soon as possible." The people in the business team said with an unknown smile on their faces.
