Chapter 440

The powerful computing power of quantum computers has made it a goal pursued by countless scientists.

Since the last century.

There are many scientists engaged in related research in the field of quantum computers.

They worked hard to realize it physically and engineeringly.

So far, scientists have proposed many implementation forms of quantum computers.

Currently, there are three main implementation forms active in journals such as "nature" and "snetce".

They are: conductive circuits, semiconductor quantum chips and ion traps.

Each of the three methods has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The most promising one now is the conductive subchip, but the difficulty of circuit design increases as the number of bits increases.

Ion trap quantum computing also has excellent performance, but it is bulky and it will take time to miniaturize it.

But semiconductor quantum chips are different.

Although the semiconductor quantum chip is not as good as these two, it is completely based on traditional semiconductor technology.

To put it simply, as long as scientists can implement sample chips in the laboratory, there will be no problem in large-scale industrial production in theory.

This is an advantage that conduction subchips and ion traps do not have!

…………

Compared with ordinary computers, quantum computers have many advantages.

Therefore, this has become an area that many world powers are pursuing.

Many countries are working hard to build the world's first quantum computer.

Of course, China will not be absent from this competition.

Quantum computers have a very broad market, and it is no exaggeration to be hailed as a cross-era product.

Once the research results are achieved and successfully implemented for commercial or civilian use.

The resulting economic output value will be an inestimable value.

At the beginning of the millennium.

China has organized a small group of scientists to start research on quantum computers.

However, Nahua's technological level lags behind the world's top levels.

In terms of hardware and software, none of them can support the research and development of quantum computers.

It was not until 2008 that China's chip technology jumped to a higher level, and the research on quantum computers made some gratifying progress.

Currently, China is already at the top of the world in the field of quantum computer research.

but.

China’s biggest rival in this field is the United States.

The development of the United States in the field of quantum computer research is far ahead of China.

According to the current progress.

The birthplace of the world's first quantum computer is mostly in the United States.

Therefore, some senior officials of China's Ministry of Science and Technology could not sit still.

If they don't take countermeasures.

The field of quantum computers and the market behind it are very likely to be occupied by the United States again.

When the time comes, America will eat meat.

But they in China can only drink soup.

This is not possible!

So several big guys sat down and discussed, and finally decided to start increasing investment in funds and personnel in the field of quantum computers, and launched a series of plans.

Among this series of plans, the most important one is to list "semiconductor quantum chips" as one of the national key research projects.

The reason why we chose the 'semiconductor quantum chip' among the three implementation forms instead of the 'conductor quantum chip' or the 'ion trap' was that the upper-level leaders had deep considerations.

Most of the semi-finished products of quantum computers currently developed in the United States are based on the implementation form of conductor quantum chips.

The United States is far ahead of other countries in the world in its development of conductor quantum chips.

In recent years, although China has made some good progress in the direction of conductor quantum chips, there is still a clear gap visible to the naked eye compared to the United States!

It is basically impossible to catch up in a short time.

In the direction of ion traps, there are very few scientists in China engaged in research in this area.

Therefore, semiconductor quantum chips have become the best choice.

In the direction of conductor quantum chips, China has no chance to catch up with the United States in a short period of time.

Therefore, if you want a cornering car, you must place your hope on semiconductor quantum chips.

With the unanimous consent of the leaders of the Science and Technology Bureau, the 'Semiconductor Quantum Chip' project was listed as one of this year's national key research projects.

National key research projects refer to major social welfare research related to the national economy and people's livelihood, as well as major scientific and technological issues related to the core competitiveness of industries, overall independent innovation capabilities and national security, and technologies that break through major areas of national economic and social development.

bottleneck.

To put it simply, it is a major scientific research project related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

Every achievement is related to the development of the national economy and national security and construction.

And such a national key research project.

On average, it only increases by five to ten a year.

In terms of scientific research funding.

The scientific research funding for any project starts at RMB 50 million.

Uncapped!

Because behind this is the support of national power.

This time, the Ministry of Science and Technology has listed "semiconductor quantum chips" as one of the national key research projects, which is enough to show its determination to develop quantum computers!

And all the work of the project was given full responsibility to Academician Guo of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Academician Guo is very famous in the domestic physics community.

Especially in the semiconductor field.

Academician Guo was one of the first batch of scientists to devote themselves to quantum computer research at the beginning of the millennium.

Over the past ten years.

Academician Guo has achieved many amazing results in the direction of semiconductor quantum chips.

Even within the world, these achievements of Academician Guo are still at a very advanced level.

The choice of Academician Guo as the person in charge of the ‘Semiconductor Quantum Chip’ this time is a perfect fit.

And now.

Academician Guo’s research team only has a dozen people.

Obviously it cannot support such a huge project as developing a quantum computer.

therefore.

Recruiting troops and horses is very necessary.

Academician Guo notified the heads of semiconductor research institutions at major universities of the news and hoped that they could recommend outstanding semiconductor talents to him to join the research team.

Director Zhang of the Yanda Semiconductor Research Center received the news from Academician Guo a month ago.

At that time, the first candidate that came to Director Zhang's mind was Gu Lu.

only……

At that time, Director Zhang thought that the project Gu Lu was working on would last for one or two years, so he did not contact Gu Lu.

But it's different now.

Gu Lu told himself personally that the project he was working on would be completed in March or April this year.

So.

In terms of time, Gu Lu had enough time.

And with Gu Lu’s talent, in Director Zhang’s opinion, he can definitely use photothermal energy in the “semiconductor quantum chip” project.
Chapter completed!
