My science and technology museum - Chapter 160 Longhu Light Project

“All the staff from the research center are here with the director. If you have any decisions, please tell us directly.”

Research center conference room.

After all the scientific research staff arrived, they only listened to Vice Dean Pei Hongyin report to Xu Lei without showing off at all because of his qualifications.

Since I originally chose to join the Future Science and Technology Research Center as the deputy director, in addition to the usual project research, I will still do the work that should be completed.

“Sit down quickly, Mr. Pei.”

When Xu Lei heard Pei Hongyin’s words, he quickly motioned for him to sit down next to him, and then looked at the dozens of scientific researchers below.

Many of them are acquaintances.

For example, Fu Zhengjun, Wu Ziliang, who previously participated in the research and development of solid-state batteries, as well as Hu Xinren, Wang Dawen and others.

At the same time, everyone was very excited.

Just after completing the summary report in the morning, Xu Lei came to the research center in person and called all the staff to attend the meeting. There must be more important work arrangements, most likely a new scientific research project.

Judging from past experience, any research project decided by Xu Lei himself will inevitably bring great changes to the world.

If they can participate, they may be able to improve themselves and leave a name in history.

What’s more, everyone has a sense of admiration for Xu Lei.

Especially after being praised by Fu Zhengjun, Wu Ziliang and others, I became more curious about Xu Lei’s true level and wanted to know how many fields he had been involved in.

Now that I finally have an opportunity, how could I be willing to miss it?

Before Xu Lei could say anything, the people below couldn’t help but take the initiative to ask.

“Dean, are you going to study some new project?”

“Yes, Dean. If you have new research directions, just tell them directly. We promise to complete the task.”

“If the dean can come and announce it in person, it must be an important research project. I can’t wait.”

When Xu Lei listened to the lively voices of the people below, he couldn’t help but have a smile on his face. He didn’t expect that everyone was more anxious than him about doing research.

Originally, there were many difficulties that needed to be overcome to create a true quantum computer. Even Xu Lei himself found it difficult and did not know how long it would take to complete the first step.

Not to mention the problems of quantum relay stations and quantum communications that need to be solved next.

It is basically impossible to achieve a significant increase in influence in a short period of time.

But now feeling the atmosphere of the entire research center, Xu Lei suddenly felt that it would not be a problem to realize his plan. He believed that under his leadership, this real quantum computer would be built soon.

So when Xu Lei thought of this, he stopped delaying and immediately explained the main content of this project.

“Everyone’s guess is good.”

“This time the company is really preparing to open a brand new research project.”

“And this project is about future development.”

As Xu Lei finished speaking, you could see excited expressions on the faces of many scientific researchers below.

Having been involved in Future Technology for such a long time, everyone knows that the projects in Xu Lei’s hands have never been too small, and now they are said to be related to future development, so naturally they can’t wait to know.

Naturally, Xu Lei did not deliberately whet everyone’s appetite. He paused for a few seconds and then continued.

“I plan to develop a quantum computer and, after achieving this step, launch personal quantum terminal devices in the cloud to commercialize quantum computing and quantum communications.”

If there was only excitement and anticipation in everyone’s eyes just now, then after hearing these words, there was only shock in my heart.

They all took a breath of cold air.

“Hiss~”

“It’s actually a quantum computer…”

Before they joined Future Technology, they all worked in various top laboratory companies.

Some are even directly from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Many people have learned about quantum computer projects or participated in corresponding research, and naturally understand its importance and the difficulties of research and development.

According to the data currently published, the most advanced quantum computers can only operate hundreds of qubits. This level cannot even be achieved by normal analysis and calculation, let alone the commercialization mentioned by Xu Lei.

Although quantum computing will play a vital role in the development of future industry technology, everyone knows that it will take many years of research to truly realize it.

But then I thought about it.

Xu Lei has not let everyone down whether it is chip design software, top domestic photolithography machines or metal solid-state batteries.

All the research projects he proposed were eventually successfully realized.

Never disappoints.

At the same time, the time spent in the middle is also very short.

That’s why everyone admires Xu Lei so much and calls him a true genius.

There is speculation that Xu Lei’s brain development may be higher than that of ordinary people.

But now it is so solemnly announced that it will conduct experimental research on quantum computers, and it has also stated on the spot that it will be commercialized.

Apparently there is enough information about this.

Everyone’s minds were constantly spinning, and an unbelievable idea emerged in their minds.

Could it be…

Mr. Xu is really sure to create a quantum computer!

Thinking of this, everyone could still restrain themselves, and they immediately asked tentatively: “Dean, have you found a research route that can truly realize quantum computing?”

Almost as soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s eyes immediately focused on Xu Lei.

Everyone wanted to know whether Xu Lei’s answer was the same as what they had guessed.

Even Pei Hongyin next to him couldn’t help but look at Xu Lei.

There was no trace of curiosity on his face.

Since the information of all the personnel in the research center was in Xu Lei’s mind, he knew that the name of the person asking this question at this time was Xiao Chengyong. His research direction was quantum communication, and he had participated in the quantum satellite project.

Before coming to the research center to hold this meeting, Xu Lei had already included him as a member of the quantum computer project.

At the same time, he also understood that it was necessary to give everyone confidence at this time, so he immediately replied in a deep voice: “I have indeed found a research route for the feasibility of quantum computing.”

After receiving Xu Lei’s personal confirmation, all the scientific researchers in the audience couldn’t help but get excited.

Xiao Chengyong secretly clenched his fists.

Finally having the opportunity to turn the theory he has studied for half his life into reality is equivalent to fulfilling his biggest wish in life. You can imagine his mood.

Of course, many of them regret it.

I regret that I did not study quantum computing and quantum communications, so that I could not participate in this project that would obviously shock the world.

Just as Xu Lei finished speaking, Yuan Zhi, another researcher in quantum computing, asked another question.

“May I ask, Dean, what type of quantum computer we want to study?”

“Superconducting Quantum Computer.”

Seeing that another core member of the project he had chosen also took the initiative to ask about the situation, Xu Lei immediately answered him.

At this time, Pei Hongyin next to him finally stopped keeping silent.

expressed his opinions on this superconducting quantum computer project.

“Currently, the laboratories of major technology companies around the world are conducting their own quantum computer research. Naturally, we cannot lag behind others. On the contrary, I think this project should be proposed earlier.”

“But since the dean is confident, then I, the old man, am naturally optimistic about him.”

It can be said that Pei Hongyin has been striving for nuclear physics research all his life, and he dreams of completely solving the energy problem for the country.

However, due to technical limitations, breakthrough progress has never been achieved.

But if a real quantum computer can be developed, Xingtong will have larger and faster computing power, which can better help him conduct research on nuclear physics, so he supports this project with both hands.

It is worth mentioning that after saying these words, Pei Hongyin suddenly turned his head and looked at Xu Lei.

There was a warm smile on his face.

“Dean.”

“If my guess is correct, you are conducting research on quantum computers and want to commercialize them. Doesn’t it also involve targeting external carbon-based chips?”

“You really can’t hide anything from Mr. Pei.” Faced with Pei Hongyin’s question, Xu Lei did not hide his purpose and admitted the matter with a smile on his face.

After all, being able to eliminate the advantages of carbon-based chips will further consolidate China’s absolute position in this field.

At least in the high-end chip market, carbon-based chips will no longer have a place.

By that time, the carbon-based chips that Sanxing and Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. have invested so much resources and time in research and development will completely lose their value.

The dean and vice-dean make the decision themselves, so there will naturally be no problems in the process.

When the meeting ended, Xu Lei also officially announced the members of the superconducting quantum computer project.

In addition to Yuan Zhi and Xiao Chengyong, there are also Gu Sanlin, who has previously developed special polymer materials, and researchers in the field of physical circuits for dilution cooling refrigerators.

The entire project team has more than a dozen core members.

When we first developed metal all-solid-state batteries, there was no such battle.

This shows how much Xu Lei attaches great importance to quantum computers.

Even if you have mastered all the core technical knowledge in your mind, you should still try your best to get the preparations in place.

The reason for this is to minimize sunk costs and prevent too much time from being spent on trial and error.

You must know that sometimes even if you have mastered theoretical knowledge, you will still make a lot of mistakes without enough experience.

What’s more, qubits are extremely unstable and are easily affected by interference and radiation from external factors. This makes it even more important to conduct this research project with a cautious and serious attitude.

Strive to create this quantum computer, as well as a complete quantum algorithm and quantum operating system in the shortest possible time.

It is also worth mentioning that because this quantum computer will be built in the data center in the park, Xu Lei personally named it the Longfor Light Project after the project was officially confirmed.

In the future, this will also be the name of the world’s first quantum computer.

And in order to appease the public’s concerns about the birth of carbon-based chips, after members of the project research team discussed and determined, the news that future technology will conduct quantum computing research was officially announced.

As soon as this news spread online, it attracted the attention of netizens and forces from all walks of life around the world.
