Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun came to the Qingning Technology Quantum Computing Laboratory ten or eight times a month. Usually, the supervisor Harold, the deputy supervisor Ling Shaotang, and the assistant Gan Peixuan were responsible for the daily affairs of the laboratory.
Ling Shaotang is an arrogant person, but Harold has been with a physics master of Nobel Prize level like Professor Coppet for many years, and his quality in all aspects is not inferior to him, and his experience in quantum computing is extremely rich.
Coupled with his simple personality and boldness, Ling Shaotang looked at him differently.
And Gan Peixuan is his direct junior sister, so she will naturally give in. After the three of them got used to each other's language and personality, they formed a team that looked similar, and they were able to cooperate sincerely.
Harold has a solid theoretical foundation and rich experimental experience, Ling Shaotang is extremely talented and has a strong sense of innovation, and Gan Peixuan has a good professional level and is meticulous and meticulous. Under their leadership, the Quantum Mechanics Laboratory quickly played a huge role and provided Qin Ke with
Provide a steady stream of experimental data with Ning Qingyun.
But at this time in the Qingning Technology Quantum Computing Laboratory, Harold, Ling Shaotang, and Gan Peixuan all had serious expressions on their faces, and their three pairs of eyes were fixed on the computer monitor screen.
A webpage in English is opening above, with the title "Professor John Krauser's team at the University of California has made a new breakthrough in quantum computing!"
This is a news report, reporting that Professor John Krauser of the University of California led a team to solve the "coherence time" problem of qubits by using quantum entanglement theory and the characteristics of naturally occurring nitrogen holes in synthetic diamond.
Room-temperature quantum computing has been initially implemented in the laboratory.
As we all know, the combination of superposition states of qubits is the key. It can represent data such as 01, 10, 11 and 00, which is far better than conventional computers that can only represent the states of 1 and 0. However, the "coherence time" of qubits to maintain a specific superposition state
It is very short-lived, and once the "coherence time" is exceeded, it will cause errors in quantum calculations.
Now Professor John Krauser has solved the problem of "too short coherence time" caused by the low resolution of single quantum operations and entanglement operations, which means that the criterion of "long coherence" can be met.
Quantum computer operation needs to fully satisfy the 'divinzo criterion', that is, scalability, initialization, measurement, universal gates and long coherence. From this press release, except for "scalability" which has not yet been solved, the other four criteria
All are basically satisfied.
The only shortcoming is that Professor John Krauser's team can only achieve quantum computing of 5 qubits, and there are still serious flaws in scalability. After all, if it is to be officially put into use, it must have at least 64 qubits.
But Harold and the other three knew in their hearts that the world's top quantum computing team led by Professor John Krauser would definitely focus on attacking this "scalability" principle issue, but no one knew them.
Will this problem be solved in a month or a year?
Ling Shaotang's usually calm face showed satisfaction and solemnity. He frowned and said: "Harold, no wonder this Professor Krauser was able to push you so hard before. His strength is indeed amazing. It's been so long since they last issued a statement saying that
It has only been less than four months since we solved the long-term coherence principle. It has actually been solved. The speed is amazing."
Harold was also a little bit shocked. If Professor Krauser's team hadn't been too aggressive, how could his mentor Professor Koppett have messed up and kept accelerating progress, working overtime every day, which finally led to his physical condition breaking through the critical limit?
Did the point collapse immediately?
Harold said unwillingly: "They have been researching this direction for almost five years. My teacher only started researching it four years ago. Later, his previous efforts were abandoned due to two accidents. Later, he got help from Professor Qin and Professor Ning before leaving.
We are on the fast track. We are definitely heading in the right direction, but the time is too short. I wonder if we can complete the theoretical system of topological quantum before Professor Krauser."
Professor Krauser's team is the world's top team that has been working together for many years. However, their team has only been formed for less than three months, and many of the newly recruited people do not have a deep enough understanding of quantum metrology, and their experience in experimental operations is even less.
Lacking, if it weren't for the incredible mathematical modeling abilities of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, who repeatedly accelerated detours and reduced the probability of the team taking detours as much as possible, Harold would not have seen any hope of overtaking success.
Now Professor John Krauser's team is almost guaranteed to win. On the contrary, they have not been able to completely break through even the most critical "synthesizing the most ideal Majorana fermion carrier".
Ling Shaotang and Gan Peixuan both clenched their fists. They were both unwilling and helpless. If they were given another half a year, they would have absolute confidence to solve this key problem under the leadership of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun. But now they lack exactly
It's time.
Gan Peixuan took a deep breath, clapped her hands and said, "Okay, let's all cheer up. Professor Qin and Professor Ning haven't come to the laboratory in the past two weeks. I heard that they are working hard to conquer the 'Ideal Majorana Fermion Carrier'
We can't hold them back on the difficulty of synthesis. We might as well do one or two more experiments. Maybe the experimental results can give them more ideas and inspiration. Besides, didn't Professor Qin already say,
Our technical route is different from that of Professor John Krauser’s team. Our technical route is better and easier to promote. Even if they win in the end, it is still unclear who will win! In terms of cost control and usability for industrial production, our technical route
At least beat them by two!"
Harold also forced a smile: "Yes, it's useless to think about this. Only the three of us know about this, and we can't let other researchers know. Remember."
He is afraid of undermining everyone's confidence. Although they also have confidence in the research direction of their research group, if Professor John Krauser's team really takes the lead, then "the world's first to solve the topological quantum communication problem" will be huge.
The honor will fall to others. If you want to catch up from behind in terms of reputation and influence, you will have to put in dozens of times of effort and sweat to be able to do so.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this moment, the office phone in the laboratory rang.
Gan Peixuan looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Ning Qingyun. She quickly picked up the phone and said, "Hello, Professor Ning, this is Gan Peixuan."
She will become Ning Qingyun's doctoral student next year, but she doesn't dare to let Ning Qingyun call her "Sister Gan" anymore, and the title of Ning Qingyun has also been changed from "Qingyun" to "Professor Ning".
Ning Qingyun's name for her also changed due to her repeated "applications".
At this time, Ning Qingyun's soft and beautiful girl's voice came from the phone: "Pei Xuan, I just sent the latest experimental plan to the encrypted email address of the laboratory. Please complete the experiment as soon as possible and verify the results. Qin and I
In the past few days, Gram will continue to study the precise control of Majorana's zero-energy mode weaving operation, so he will not come to the laboratory. You will notify us as soon as you have the experimental results."
"Understood, we'll deal with it right away." Gan Peixuan hung up the phone and then thought of something. Study the precise control of the Majorana zero-energy mode weaving operation? That shouldn't be done after synthesizing the most ideal Majorana fermion carrier.
steps?
Could it be...
A thought flashed through her mind, and her heart beat suddenly faster. She quickly sat down on the confidential computer, opened her email, and saw an encrypted email from Ning Qingyun.
After entering the password to open the attachment of the email, I saw that the title of the document was "Synthesis Method and Crystal Structure of the Optimal Majorana Fermion Carrier"!
"Assistant Gan, what's wrong?" Harold and Ling Shaotang, who were standing next to him, saw Gan Peixuan's eyes widened and her expression of shock on her face, so they couldn't help but come over and look at the screen.
The next moment, both of them were stunned at the same time. After a while, Harold swallowed with difficulty and said: "This...does this mean that the two professors have conquered the ideal horse?"
The key problem of Yolana fermion carrier?"
Ling Shaotang couldn't help but grab the mouse and quickly pulled the scroll bar. Sure enough, he saw detailed synthesis ingredients and synthesis methods of superconducting materials, including the crystal structure and atomic force, bond length, and superconductivity of the ideal superconducting material after synthesis.
, detailed characteristics such as ultra-hardness, vibration spectrum, phase transition and phase diagram are all deduced.
Looking at the amazingly perfect complex crystal structure, Ling Shaotang couldn't take his eyes away. With his innate keen intuition about superconducting materials, he was almost 100% sure that this was the answer they were looking for - the final answer.
The ideal Majorana fermion carrier!
Ling Shaotang's voice trembled with excitement: "It... it must be it! Professor Qin and Professor Ning are so amazing! They actually succeeded in deducing it through mathematical modeling! I am completely convinced by them!"
Harold was equally excited. This was a desperate situation! With this ideal Majorana fermion carrier, the research progress of the Lime Technology Quantum Computing Laboratory team has even slightly surpassed that of John Crowe.
Professor Ze’s team!
Next, as long as the precise control of the Majorana zero-energy mode weaving operation is achieved, it can be applied to topological quantum computing!
At this moment, Harold was extremely glad that he came to Xia Kingdom and followed Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun to continue the research on this topic!
Maybe these two young professors can really do what Professor Coppet failed to accomplish!
Harold suppressed the excitement in his heart and grabbed Ling Shaotang: "Let's go, we will immediately gather everyone to conduct experiments for verification! As long as the verification is successful, we are only one step away from the final goal! Hahaha——!
"
…
The Qingning Technology Quantum Computing Laboratory here is rejoicing, and everyone is as energetic as chicken blood. However, in the editorial office of "Physics Reports (PR)" far away in the United States, the editor-in-chief Robinson Fogil is suffering from a headache.
In the morning, the editor-in-chief Grote submitted a paper titled "Research on the Application of N-S Equation in Urban Planning and Air Pollution Prevention and Control". The paper was very well written. Although it focused on theory, it was indeed of great reference value.
Especially now that environmentalism is prevalent in the West, many cities are struggling to improve urban air quality. It is estimated that once this paper is published, major cities around the world will rush to quote it and discuss in-depth urban air pollution prevention and control methods.
and even secondary planning of the city.
The problem is...this paper is free submission!
PR has never accepted free submissions, because the journal's goal is that "papers must have an important leading and guiding role in the development of specific fields." The editorial department of the journal often invites people with great influence in related fields after selecting a topic.
Reputable and highly qualified scholars write papers.
Now this paper meets the requirements from the standard, and it will definitely have a very important inspiration and leadership role in the physical application of air pollution. But now PR does not want to do this topic, and it is not included in this year's plan.
this topic.
"Qin Ke... Ning Qingyun..." Robinson Fogil looked at the name in the author column and rubbed his temples with a headache again.
If it were an ordinary unknown author, even if the paper was so well written, he would not make an exception for it. However, these two great masters have become so famous recently. They have been published in "Physical Review Letters" and "Nature Physics" this year.
Not to mention the fluid dynamics papers published in "Applied Physics Letters" that attracted great attention, the "Computational Seed Science" paper recently published in "Cell" caused shock and excitement in the biological community around the world, making that issue
The sales of "Cell" have increased more than ten times, and these two names are being discussed in the entire international academic circle.
I heard that the "Computational Seed Science Tutorial (English Version)" written by these two masters two days ago had just been put on sale in various countries around the world, and it triggered a rush. The first six million copies of the coated paper version were sold out in just two hours.
Well, you have to know that the price of each copy is very high. The retail price here in the United States has reached more than 150 US dollars! Even if the price is as high as 120 US dollars, the electronic version on the Kindle has sold nearly 10 million copies!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is not the most exaggerated. It is said that these two masters have recently created a magical crop called "Perfect Desert Sweet Potato", which can be grown on the edge of the desert, and
The desert can be transformed into green space. At present, many countries that have suffered from deserts have contacted Xia State to learn about this matter and seek technical support, which has greatly increased Xia State's voice in the world.
All of the above have made these two young scholars from Xia State, who are mathematicians, physicists, and biologists in one family, become the most watched "darlings" in the world.
Although "Physics Reports (PR)" is still ranked among the top four international physics journals, its ranking has dropped to fourth, and it may be overtaken at any time by the "Reviews of Modern Physics" (reviews of Modern Physics), which is ranked fifth and sixth at any time.
"Modern Physics" and "Physical Review a" were pushed down from the altar.
Under such circumstances, publishing excellent papers written by Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun as soon as possible is undoubtedly a good opportunity to take advantage of this craze to increase the influence of "Physics Reports (PR)"...
Robinson Virgil finally made up his mind and rang the phone of Mr. Wells, the notoriously stubborn editor-in-chief.
The theme of each issue of the journal is determined in advance to facilitate the appointment of manuscripts. Now that the plan needs to be changed, Robinson Virgil's editor-in-chief authority is not enough, and the editor-in-chief Mr. Wells' nod is necessary.
As for how to persuade Mr. Wells, who has always been stubborn, Editor-in-Chief Vergil still has some ideas. For example, he can send Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun a new email inviting them to write - after all, PR has a rule not to accept free submissions.
