Quantum computer is not a black technology term, but it is indeed one of the hottest and most cutting-edge technological directions in the world today. Its powerful parallel computing capabilities far surpass the current conventional computers and even supercomputers. This advantage is important in encryption and deciphering.

This is especially obvious in other fields. Moreover, quantum computers theoretically have the ability to simulate any natural system, and are the key to the development of artificial intelligence.

These advantages have attracted countless quantum physicists to devote themselves to research, so that real quantum computers can be put into practical applications as soon as possible.

Quantum computer research worldwide has also entered a white-hot stage, and various countries are stepping up research and development in order to gain a leading edge in this field. At present, quantum computers have been successfully built in many countries, including Germany, Eagle Country, Japan,

The United States, Xia State and other countries are at the forefront of the world in quantum computers.

For example, Germany's Jülich Research Center has a quantum computer with 5,000 qubits; IBM and Google have set world record quantum computers; Finnish and European quantum computing company IQM has developed a new supercomputer that can realize quantum logic gates.

The conduction qubit "Unicorn" commercial quantum computer; Japan's domestically produced quantum computer has been officially put into use a few days ago; Xia Guo's Baidu officially released its first industrial-grade superconducting quantum computer "Qianshi". In addition

The quantum computer chip "Wukong" using domestically produced quantum cores will also be released soon.

However, these quantum computers are still in a relatively early stage. Except for Germany, which has Europe's first commercial quantum computer with 5,000 qubits, other countries and companies, including IBM, have their most powerful quantum computers at only 433.

As for the number of qubits, quantum computers in most countries only have 64 qubits.

The development of quantum computers is severely limited. The key is that the problem of "quantum decoherence" cannot be solved.

The so-called "quantum decoherence" means that the qubits are affected by the external environment and produce quantum entanglement, which causes the quantum coherence to be disturbed and reduced, resulting in a "decoherence effect", which will greatly increase the error rate of quantum calculations.

The higher the number of qubits, the more exaggerated the error rate. The current international mainstream error correction mechanism to solve the "quantum decoherence" phenomenon can only ensure that the quantum computer operates normally with 64 qubits.

Topological quantum computing is a very important topic. It can use topological quantum states in many-body systems to store and manipulate quantum information and achieve high fault tolerance in quantum computing.

It can be said that whoever masters the core technology of topological quantum computing will hold the key to the development of future quantum computers.

Therefore, currently among quantum physicists, the number of people devoted to the subdivided field of topological quantum computing is the largest, and the technical routes produced are rich and diverse. In the direction of superconducting quantum, there are ultra-cold atom quantum simulation and ionic system quantum computing.

, different research directions such as silicon-based quantum dot quantum computing, topological superconductor quantum computing, and topological insulator quantum computing are extremely competitive.

At around 23:00 in the middle of the night on December 22, the Qingning Technology Quantum Computing Laboratory on the outskirts of Beijing finally took the lead in realizing topological quantum computing in the superconducting quantum direction, and it is a relatively mature topology that can support million-level quantum computing.

Quantum computing theoretical model system.

This result is of great significance and is extremely astonishing. If nothing else is mentioned, the research results alone could have produced more than a dozen papers published in "Nature" and "Science".

After everyone's excitement subsided, they asked Qin Ke to give this topological quantum computing theoretical model system a name. This naming right was not because Qin Ke was everyone's boss, but also because Qin Ke played the most important role in the entire research project.

The person who plays the key role and plays the biggest role, especially in the details of quantum mechanics, Qin Ke's demonstrated strength is enough to make a group of scientific researchers regard him as a god.

Qin Ke didn't give in. He thought about it and said with a smile: "Our research direction is 'topological superconducting vortex state'. Let's just call it 'Ling Ning topological superconducting vortex state theoretical model system'."

When the paper was published, everyone here was the second author and third author!"

The crowd burst into excited cheers again!

Such a great paper that is destined to shock the whole world and greatly affect the development of quantum computers. Even if you just leave your name in the "Acknowledgments" above, it will be something worth bragging about for a lifetime, let alone being listed in the author column.

.

What's more, everyone knows that this "Ling Ning Topological Superconducting Vortex State Theoretical Model System" is ranked according to the degree of contribution. The first place is definitely Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun, as well as Professor Kopet who has done a lot of work in the early stage.

, and then there are the nationalities such as Harold, the researchers who have been involved in this research from the beginning, as well as Ling Shaotang and Gan Peixuan who played an important role in the experiment, and the rest of the researchers who joined after the establishment of the Quantum Computing Laboratory, even if

These three works are enough to make me overjoyed.

——According to domestic practice, experimenters like them often have no chance to appear in the author column.

It was already 23:10 in the middle of the night, and the north wind was howling outside, but everyone was in an excited mood and did not feel sleepy. Qin Ke took everyone to the laboratory lounge to drink and celebrate.

Taking into account the living habits of German scientific researchers and in order to create a better and more relaxed scientific research environment, the Quantum Computing Laboratory has specially added a lounge with a bar. The bar is filled with various drinks and drinks imported from Germany.

There is no shortage of German beer, red wine, and snacks. There are even two large TVs connected to Xbox and PS3 game consoles for everyone to relax and entertain.

However, in the past four months, most people have devoted themselves to research and experiments. At most, they come here occasionally to drink and brag, or if they are too hungry at night, eat instant noodles and snacks, etc. Those game consoles

No one has touched it at all.

The scientific researchers who came here were really hard-working. Many of them only went back once a week, and spent the rest of the time in the laboratory without even taking a shower. They ate packed lunches when they were hungry, and just found a place to sleep when they were sleepy.

The laboratory had to prepare a batch of simple lunch beds for this group of researchers who were obsessed with research and could not extricate themselves.

As time went by, the Xia nationality scientific researchers were aroused to be competitive, and they secretly thought that compared with the "roll", could we still win the national exam?

As a result, Qing Ning Quantum Laboratory had to add a new batch of lunch beds, convert several empty rooms that were originally intended to be used as activity rooms into temporary dormitories, and add several bathrooms.

For this reason, Qingning Technology CEO Zhou Shutao even called Qin Ke to "complain", joking that he felt that all the dormitories in the community were rented for free, and that the rent had been wasted in the past few months.

It can be said that the rapid progress in the topic of topological quantum computing is the result of everyone's concerted efforts and sincere cooperation.

When they arrived at the lounge, Ning Qingyun chatted with another girl Gan Peixuan. It was not convenient for the two girls to drink, so they just drank the drinks. Qin Ke opened a can of dark beer, gave everyone a toast, and then sat down.

Next to Rod.

There were three empty cans of dark beer placed next to Harold. This guy was quite aggressive when it came to drinking. His face was red and he smelled of alcohol. He clinked glasses with Qin Ke vigorously and said in German: "

Professor Qin, I am once again glad that I chose to come to Xia Guo. You are a good boss and a good guide! Professor Coppet will be crazy when he knows the news that we have completed this project. Last time he heard

We have developed the 'optimal Majorana fermion carrier', and I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night, and kept saying, 'Professor Qin is really amazing'..."

Qin Ke smiled, clinked glasses with him and took a sip of beer: "Professor Coppet doesn't seem to have his mobile phone with him. I just wanted to have a video call with him, but he never accepted. Later I sent him an email, hoping that he would

I hope to see this good news as soon as possible.”

Harold looked dim: "Professor Coppett has been busy with rehabilitation recently, but according to his family doctor, the most optimistic estimate is that he can move around through an electric wheelchair, and his fingers will not be able to hold a pen for a long time.

…”

Harold is a very affectionate person. Although he has been in Xia Kingdom for the past four months, he has taken time every week to contact his mentor, Professor Coppert, who is treating patients in Deguo.

Qin Ke patted him on the shoulder: "I don't think he will worry about the living expenses and medical expenses in the future. Our topological quantum computing topic is more theoretical research, but it will also produce related patented technologies. When the time comes, I will

As agreed, Professor Kopet will be included among the patent holders and he will enjoy one-third of the patent licensing income. Of course, before the patent generates income, Professor Ning and I will transfer 2 million euros to him in advance to ensure that he

Living and medical expenses for the next ten years.”

The topic of topological quantum computing will have at least two patented technologies. The first one is naturally the "optimal Majorana Fermion Carrier", which is now named "Majorana Fermion Carrier-Ling Ning Superconducting No. 1 Material"

"Synthetic technology.

The "topological gap theoretical system" successfully verified tonight can also produce a patent for "a technology that uses the topological gap theoretical system to achieve precise control of Majorana zero-energy mode weaving operations."

These two patents are the key to transforming the theory of "Ling Liang Topological Superconducting Vortex State Theoretical Model System" into practical applications. As long as the application and preparation of patent rights are completed in China and major countries in the world, then anyone who wants to

Any use of this highly fault-tolerant technology in topological quantum computing must apply for patent authorization. It is conservatively estimated that the value of both patents is over US$1 billion.

Harold was surprised and happy. He stood up suddenly and said in disbelief: "Really?"

Professor Koppet is a professor at the University of Munich and belongs to the high-income group, with an annual salary of around 200,000 euros (about 1.5 million yuan). Now he is retired due to illness, and he can still receive an annual pension of 100,000 euros, plus a German salary.

The medical benefits are pretty good, and treatment costs are basically reimbursed. Logically speaking, Professor Koppet shouldn't have to worry about money.

But in fact, Professor Kopet's family is not well-off. He has five children, and none of them are very successful. He is in his thirties, and he often asks Professor Kopet for money. Even his house and car are from Kopet.

Professor Pater solved it for them. Professor Kopet's wife has never worked and is a full-time housewife. In addition, Chinese people do not have the habit of saving. Now that Professor Kopet has retired from illness, his income has been halved, and his money is tight.

The most important thing is that although Professor Koppett does not need to spend much money on medication and rehabilitation, he is now very inconvenient to move. His wife is not in good health and cannot take care of him. She can only hire professional nurses to take care of his daily life.

This additional expenditure will increase the cost by about 40,000 euros every year.

Harold knew a lot about his mentor's family situation, and secretly thought about helping him. Now he heard that Qin Ke was actually willing to share the patent licensing income according to the original agreement, and he was so careful to support 2 million euros in advance.

Share - This is equivalent to giving Professor Coppet his original ten years' salary in advance, which is enough to ensure that his life for the next ten years will not be affected.

Seeing that Qin Ke nodded affirmatively, Harold held Qin Ke's hand firmly and moved his lips to say something, but in the end he couldn't. He bowed slightly to Qin Ke, then stood up to explain Qin Ke's decision.

I told the rest of my friends from Germany.

A group of scientific researchers from Deguo looked at me, and suddenly someone came to Qin Ke and said seriously: "Professor Qin, I am willing to stay in Xiaguo and work for you."

"I do too."

"We all do!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the end, the nineteen German scientific researchers who originally signed only one work contract, as well as Harold, who originally signed a five-year work contract, were willing to change

Sign a ten-year work contract.

The reason why the contract was signed for ten years was because the cross-border labor contract between Germany and Xia Guo could only be signed for ten years at most.

For Harold and others, such a decision was made after careful consideration. There is a highly capable academic leader as the boss, and the salary is good. The key is that the boss is a good person, does not monopolize scientific research results, and is loyal.

This is enough for them to follow them wholeheartedly.

Looking at Qin Ke who was surrounded by German scientific researchers, Gan Peixuan couldn't understand German and didn't understand what was going on. She finally understood after listening to Ning Qingyun's translation. She opened her eyes in surprise at first, then raised her drink and said

Ning Qingyun touched it and said with a smile: "Professor Ning, Man Ting and I also plan to work hard for you and Professor Qin in this life, please take me in."

Ning Qingyun pursed her lips and smiled softly, her eyes falling on Qin Ke gentle and proud.

"my pleasure."

…

In the end, the celebratory dinner lasted until about 1 o'clock in the morning. After briefly tidying up the laboratory and locking all the research materials in the safe, everyone dispersed.

All scientific researchers returned to their dormitories to rest. The Qing Ning Quantum Laboratory ushered in the long-lost silence, but the security guards responsible for security work collectively strengthened their vigilance to prevent any accidents from happening.

Because it was too late, Qin Ke didn't ask his assistant Fang Yongtang to pick them up. He drove Ning Qingyun himself and took Ning Qingyun back to the school's villa to rest.

Along the way, I saw snow everywhere outside, but fortunately the snowstorm had stopped during the day.

Ning Qingyun was weak. After going home, taking a shower and drying her hair, she quickly fell asleep under Qin Ke's "urge".

Qin Ke was in good spirits. He quietly got out of bed and checked on his mobile phone. The weather forecast showed that it would be sunny in the next two days.

Fortunately, it seems that there is no need to adopt a backup plan.

In order to complete the grand proposal ceremony on December 24, Qin Ke designed several plans based on various possible weather conditions.

Now that the weather is good, we can naturally adopt the best plan.

Qin Ke sent a message to several numbers on his mobile phone: "Everything went as planned." Then he went back to bed and kissed Ning Qingyun's pretty face, which was still pure and lovely even after she fell asleep.
