Chapter 232 This time, we stand at the top of the world
The moment when Osprey completed all computing tasks.
The time displayed by the timer was fixed at 29.98 seconds.
This calculation speed is even 0.02 seconds faster than the previous information released.
Although a video cannot guarantee its authenticity 100%.
But there is really no need for IBM to falsify this matter.
Some professionals also confirmed the authenticity of this experiment through video.
Science blogger Bao Changping posted a video on his personal social media platform, providing a detailed analysis of the incident.
"I've watched the video, and there's basically no problem with it. IBM chose to release the video at this time, obviously to prove the authenticity of the Osprey quantum computer. In fact , their previous generation of quantum computers did not release such test videos."
"For test videos like this, it doesn't matter whether they are made public or not. Because of the confidentiality of some technologies, many things may not be made public. Of course, in a test video , you can't see any core technology."
"The purpose of IBM doing this is probably directly related to the island quantum computer we released. It's like saying that our data is not exaggerated. We have shown it to the outside world, and now it's up to you."
"But I believe that neither the United States nor China will joke about this kind of thing. I believe that it won't be long before the Island Quantum Computer will release its own test video. Let's wait and see."
In the comment section below Bao Changping’s video, netizens’ comments also have different opinions.
Some people affirmed Bao Changping's point of view, while some netizens were worried about Bao Changping.
"Do you think our quantum computers are really not up to this level?"
"If that happens, they might just ignore the news. Maybe even take the video offline."
"Perhaps Bao Changping dared to release this video after receiving inside information. Bao Changping has never made a mistake in all these years."
Just as Bao Changping expected.
Within a few days, major official media in China released a test video of the Island Quantum Computer.
In the test video, for the same quantum random circuit sampling task.
From start to finish, the Island quantum computer took just 2.98 seconds.
There is also some other evidence in the video, proving that the island quantum computer is indeed processing the same task.
Not only were all the calculations completed within 2.98 seconds, but the fidelity was also extremely high.
Once this news was announced, it attracted strong attention from all over the world.
…
Xu You was in the classroom, listening to a quantum physics class.
This is a required course for masters in physics.
Of course, for Xu You, he didn't have to go to class.
However, Xu You still hopes to feel the classroom atmosphere occasionally.
Although Xu You basically knew what was being taught, he would still gain some new insights and insights every time he attended a class.
The teacher of this class was none other than Xu You’s guide on the road of scientific research—Wang Xiangwu.
Xu You likes listening to Wang Xiangwu's lectures very much. Putting aside the knowledge, there are many things worth learning from Wang Xiangwu's teaching method.
Xu You knew that if he was lucky enough to stay in school as a university teacher in the future, he would also need to teach.
This is not just the job description of university teachers.
Xu You feels that as a university teacher, he must focus on both scientific research and teaching.
Especially teachers with strong scientific research capabilities should also make corresponding efforts in teaching.
Only if university teachers attach importance to teaching can they better help these students grow.
The improvement of a country's scientific research capabilities cannot rely solely on a few individual scientists, but requires the improvement of the overall scientific research level and atmosphere.
Only in this way can China truly catch up with scientific research powers such as the United States, so that top students do not have to go abroad for further studies, making it difficult for them to return home.
After the break, Wang Xiangwu returned to the classroom.
Judging from Wang Xiangwu's expression, it seemed that something happy had happened.
"I just received a piece of news, so I'll tell you about it first. I believe some of you may have seen the news."
Xu You didn't have the habit of checking his phone frequently, so he didn't know what Wang Xiangwu was referring to.
At this time, a student said:
"Teacher, is this about the island's quantum computer ?"
"That's right. The latest test video of the island quantum computer is out. Let's take a look at it together."
Hearing the words "island quantum computer", Xu You's attention was immediately drawn.
Wang Xiangwu and Xu You both participated in the Island Project and contributed to the Island quantum computer.
Of course, Wang Xiangwu didn’t know that Xu You later contributed several very critical results to the island project.
Wang Xiangwu moved the mouse and projected the test video of the island quantum computer that had just been released by the media onto the big screen.
The students in the classroom were all looking at the big screen intently.
On the screen, there appeared a scene of the island quantum computer carrying out mission testing.
What was somewhat unexpected to them was that the time taken from starting at the island to completing the mission was so short.
Even though many students already knew before this, it only takes 3 seconds for the island to complete this computationally intensive task.
But when I saw this scene with my own eyes, I still felt very shocked.
"Everyone must have heard of supercomputers. The computing speed of a supercomputer can reach a million or even ten million times that of an ordinary computer. Do you know how long it takes a supercomputer to calculate the same task? A full hundred years! But our island only needs 3 seconds to complete this task!"
Hearing Wang Xiangwu's words, the students in the classroom couldn't help but feel shocked.
This feeling of shock is a bit like comparing the earth with the sun, and then comparing the sun with some larger celestial bodies outside the system.
"Our previous generation Wenyuan-2 quantum computer takes 300 seconds to process this task. IBM's newly launched Osprey takes 30 seconds to process the same task. In other words, our island is 100 times faster than the previous generation of quantum machines and 10 times faster than IBM's latest generation of quantum computers. This is a great achievement!"
As soon as Wang Xiangwu finished speaking, warm applause broke out in the classroom.
We have always been accustomed to following the pace of foreign countries in various technologies.
But this time, we can finally proudly say that our technology is at the top of the world!
