Chapter 259 The advent of Beiliguo’s quantum computer

Jinling, Quantum Computer Center!

Ye Fei and a group of researchers stood in front of a golden circular machine more than three meters high.

The machine is running quickly. Around the machine, computer monitors are connected, and many people are sitting in front of the computer and typing on the keyboard.

This is a quantum computer!

The mainframe of the quantum computer is very large, and its appearance is more sci-fi.

It's not square, and from the outside, you can't tell it's a host at all, but more like a large hourglass.

The Quantum Computer Center is newly created, right next to the Institute of Science.

It was established with capital from both the Academy of Sciences and Jinling.

"Dean!" A researcher walked up to Ye Fei and said: "At the end of the eighth round of testing, the average number of floating point operations reached 390 billion, with the highest being 400 billion and the lowest being 38 billion."

Billions of times."

The quantum computer developed by Ye Fei and the others has one hundred qubits.

It is about 76.5 times faster than the world's fastest supercomputer, 51 petaflops.

This is a quantum computer.

The higher the number of floating-point operations, the faster a large number of operations can be performed.

The faster the computing speed, the stronger the ability to process information, and the wider the range of applications.

Moreover, because the more information it processes, the more advantageous it is for quantum computers to perform calculations and ensure the accuracy of calculations.

Therefore, it is most beneficial to scientific research and is much more beneficial than supercomputing.

For example, enter some formulas.

If a supercomputer and a quantum computer have the same computing speed, the formulas calculated by the quantum computer will be faster and more accurate.

The more formulas you input, the faster and more accurately the quantum computer can calculate the formulas.

The key is that quantum computers are dozens of times faster than supercomputers.

Therefore, quantum computers can calculate more formulas at the same time and are more accurate.

Moreover, the calculation speed is fast and there are many benefits.

For example, the global cyber defense network is useless against quantum computers.

In martial arts terms, in the world of martial arts, only hardness is indestructible, and only speed is indestructible.

Quantum computers know how to be fast, so any network defense is ineffective against them.

Unless the other party also has a powerful quantum computer that is close to, equal to or surpasses the other party's quantum computer in terms of computing speed, only then can it withstand the opponent's quantum computer attack.

The other researchers were very excited when they heard what this researcher said.

"Dean, this is so fast!"

“Many formulas used to take hours to calculate using supercomputers, but now the speed has increased by more than 70 times and it only takes a few minutes to calculate.”

"Furthermore, due to the characteristics of quantum computers, the more formulas calculated at the same time, it will not reduce the calculation speed, but will make the calculation speed faster and the calculation formulas more accurate."

"..."

When Ye Fei heard what the other researchers said, he did not speak, but frowned.

This speed did not reach his ideal speed, which was 500 billion times.

Of course, this speed is already very fast.

"Hey..." Ye Fei sighed in his heart: "I am too anxious. The quantum computer has just been developed, and there is still a long way to go in the future."

Quantum computers, like supercomputers, slowly increase the number of floating-point operations as research deepens.

Ye Fei pondered for a moment and then said: "Continue the test. After ten rounds of testing, if there are no problems, we will announce it!"

Although quantum computers are very fast, they are tested in all applicable fields because they are widely used.

Therefore, each of their tests lasted two days.

When the researcher heard this, he immediately said: "Okay, Dean!"

The ten rounds of testing were a test plan they had already decided on, which made it more reliable.

After all, if something goes wrong after a quantum computer is released, it could cause a lot of trouble.

At this time, Geng Ye, director of the Department of Science and Technology, led a group of people in.

"Academician Ye, how are you?" Geng Ye asked before he even reached Ye Fei.

When Ye Fei and the researchers behind Ye Fei heard Geng Ye's voice, they all turned to look at Geng Ye and said hello to him.

Geng Ye waved his hand, walked to Ye Fei, and turned to look at Ye Fei.

Ye Feidao: "With one hundred qubits, the average number of floating point operations is 390 billion times, with a maximum of 400 billion times and a minimum of 380 billion times. It can be used in mathematics, finance, biomedicine, chemistry,

Physics, geography, aerospace..."

Ye Fei said in dozens of mainstream fields: "If it is a calculation as difficult as the Seven Conjectures of Mathematics, it can be successfully calculated in about an hour."

"If the seven conjectures of mathematics are calculated simultaneously, the speed can be increased by about 20%."

The calculation of the seven major conjectures of mathematics is very huge. It can be calculated successfully in one hour, which is already very fast.

You know, if you use the world's fastest supercomputer, it will take two days, and you can't calculate seven conjectures at the same time, you can only do them one by one.

Due to the characteristics of quantum computers, the seven major conjectures of mathematics can be calculated at the same time, and the time can be reduced by 20%.

Geng Ye and the people who followed Geng Ye listened with their eyes shining and their faces full of joy.

According to Ye Fei, the computing speed of this quantum computer is too fast.

Geng Ye laughed loudly and said: "Okay, very good!"

Then, he looked at Ye Fei expectantly and asked: "Based on your estimate, how many quantum computers can be manufactured for use by the Xia Kingdom?"

Ye Fei thought for a while and then said: "Santai!"

Of course, it is certainly impossible to build only three units.

Just like supercomputer, every provincial capital city across the country hopes to have its own supercomputer.

Even if the performance is far too much, they still want it.

After all, what others have is not as good as what you have.

Every province will use supercomputers in many fields, and they don’t want to spend money renting them from other provinces when using them.

So, the same is true for quantum computers.

Even if there is excess performance, each province hopes to have its own supercomputer.

Moreover, independent quantum computers are necessary in some places.

For example, Xia Guo Aerospace Research Institute and Xia Guo Science Research Institute.

Geng Ye nodded slightly, then glanced around and saw many researchers working, and asked: "When will the test end?"

"It will end in four days!" Ye Feidao: "If there is no problem, it can be announced to the public in five days."

Geng Ye took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly to calm down his excitement and said: "There is no problem so far!"

"No!" Ye Fei slowly shook his head.

Geng Ye said: "Then we can start preparations now. As soon as the test is over, we will announce it immediately!"

"Yeah!" Ye Fei nodded slightly.

At this time, Geng Ye's cell phone rang.

Geng Ye smiled apologetically at Ye Fei and said, "Sorry, I'm going to take a call."

"Okay!" Ye Feidao.

Geng Ye walked aside and answered the phone. After answering the phone, his face looked a little ugly.

Ye Fei saw that his face was not good-looking, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Geng Si, if you have something to do, you can go and do it."

Geng Ye shook his head slightly and said: "Beili Country's quantum computer will be announced the day after tomorrow."

"Huh?" Ye Fei frowned instantly.

Then, Ye Fei thought about the performance of the quantum computer they developed, and chuckled: "It's pretty fast!"

"Yeah!" Geng Ye nodded slightly. He looked at Ye Fei hesitantly and said, "Can't the test end early?"

"No!" Ye Fei shook his head slightly: "Testing is a must-go plan. If the testing is not completed and something goes wrong after the quantum computer is put into use, the losses will be huge."

"Hey..." Geng Ye sighed and said helplessly: "I know this too, but I'm afraid that Beili will cause trouble."
