A few days later.
Lu Yongchang raised his hand and gently rubbed his temples.
Perhaps due to the system, he felt his thinking ability was constantly improving after his rebirth.
Questions that required much thought in the previous life can now be answered in just a few seconds.
The most direct manifestation of enhanced thinking ability is learning ability.
It only took him a few days to go from zero to mastering the latest quantum computing technology.
Besides the enhanced thinking ability, he noticed another obvious change.
His physical fitness is slowly improving.
In his previous life, he simply couldn't have endured so many consecutive days of working himself to the bone.
As for the benefits... after several days of working himself to the bone, he finally had a few ideas.
No wonder the system compares quantum computing technology to the cradle of artificial intelligence.
The difference between quantum computers and ordinary computers is not just a matter of computing power.
While computing power has played a crucial role in the development of artificial intelligence, it is by no means the key factor.
More importantly, the information processed in a quantum computer exists in a quantum state.
Quantum quanta have a property called superposition.
Suppose we have state A and state B. A superposition state is the superposition of the two states. In binary terms, it means that both 0 and 1 are represented at the same time.
This is something that is impossible for a regular binary computer.
In a regular computer, there are only two options: 0 or 1, which greatly limits its computing and learning capabilities.
This is only the case where two quanta are in a superposition state.
If the number of quanta is increased to 5, then it contains the superposition of all numbers from 00000 to (binary).
If it continues to improve...
The correct answer lies within this chain of possibilities.
As for how to get the correct answer...
Through specific quantum algorithms, they can be made to exhibit physical properties and exit the superposition state according to the designed algorithm.
After exiting the superposition state, some quanta become 0, and some become 1. The final observed 01010 or other combinations are the calculation results.
This aligns with the principle behind the emergence of consciousness—the collapse of quantum states caused by observation gives rise to human consciousness.
In conclusion, true artificial intelligence will only emerge on computers with quantum computing capabilities.
Lü Yongchang's fingers tapped unconsciously on the desk in front of him.
There are currently three architectures for quantum computers.
Superconducting circuits, semiconductor quantum chips, and ion traps.
The most promising technology is the quantum computer with superconducting circuitry.
It achieves the highest number of high-fidelity qubits and also has good scalability.
However, the drawbacks are also obvious: the difficulty of circuit design increases with the number of bits.
Once a sample chip of a semiconductor quantum chip is realized in the laboratory, it can be quickly put into large-scale industrial production.
As for the ion trap quantum computer... it has the highest fidelity of the three, but it is enormous in size.
After a brief moment of thought, Lü Yongchang ruled out semiconductor quantum computers first.
He doesn't need large-scale industrial production now.
As for the ion trap computer, its excessively large size made Lü Yongchang sigh slightly.
In the end, he was left with only one option.
Superconducting circuit quantum computer.
The technology of room-temperature superconductors has been mastered; now, the only challenge he faces is the design of superconducting circuits.
...
One week later.
Lu Yongchang slowly raised his head from the computer screen and exhaled a long breath.
The design is finally complete.
"Yutong, please call Fang Xu for me and tell him I need to talk to him."
Lu Yongchang's gaze lingered on the design drawings, and he subconsciously called out the name he used in his previous life.
Su Yutong, who was engrossed in her studies, trembled slightly.
The next moment, a faint smile appeared on her lips: "Okay, Professor Lü."
...
Soon, Fang Xu pushed open the office door with a bewildered look on his face.
"Yongchang? You want to see me?"
As Fang Xu spoke, he plopped down in the chair in front of the desk: "Let me tell you beforehand, no one in our lab knows anything about quantum computers."
Lu Yongchang ignored Fang Xu's words, and simply reached out and unplugged a USB drive from the computer, handing it to Fang Xu.
Fang Xu took the USB drive with a puzzled look on his face: "What's this? Did you write a paper?"
"..." Lu Yongchang looked at Fang Xu with a face full of black lines, "Why would I write a thesis for no reason?"
"This is the architecture diagram of a superconducting quantum computer. I would like you to report it to the Speaker of the Legislative Council for me."
"I want to build a quantum supercomputing center next to the laboratory."
Fang Xu: "...???"
"Wait, wait!" Fang Xu was clearly unable to accept Lü Yongchang's words.
He looked at the USB drive in his hand with a questioning expression, then glanced at Lü Yongchang, who had a calm expression: "How much time has it been?"
"At most, it should have taken about ten days for you to produce an architecture diagram of a quantum supercomputing center?"
As he spoke, Fang Xu picked up a book from the side and glanced at it casually.
What is a quantum computer?
A bead of cold sweat slowly slid down Fang Xu's forehead: "Brother, if I'm not mistaken, you should have known nothing about quantum computers ten days ago, right?"
“Yes,” Lü Yongchang nodded calmly, “Haven’t ten days passed already?”
Fang Xu: "???"
"Am I the abnormal one, or are you the abnormal one...?"
"You mastered quantum computing technology in just ten days?"
"To be precise, it took four days; this architecture diagram took me a week to complete."
In response to Lü Yongchang's reply, Fang Xu slapped his own smooth forehead.
"My dear brother, you're my dear brother!"
Have you verified this thing?
"A supercomputing center costs a lot of money, don't you? What if something goes wrong? How are you going to explain this to the Speaker of the Legislative Council?"
Lu Yongchang gave Fang Xu a strange look: "Didn't I ask you to report this to me?"
Fang Xu: "???"
Seeing Fang Xu's expression, which looked like he'd eaten shit, Lü Yongchang couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore."
"After you report it, you can ask the Speaker of the Council to find someone to verify it."
"I have only one request: I need to see this supercomputing center as soon as possible."
"This concerns the future of the Xia Kingdom!"
Fang Xu gave Lü Yongchang a deep look, then shook his head helplessly: "Alright, I'll run an errand for you."
Seeing Fang Xu turn to leave the office, Lü Yongchang pondered for a moment and then said again, "By the way, help me find some people in the field of artificial intelligence, someone reliable."
After saying that, Lü Yongchang turned to Su Yutong beside him and said, "Yutong, help me find some of the latest research results in artificial intelligence."
