"At the beginning of next year, I will graduate with a doctorate. Then I will return to Yanbei International Mathematics Center to serve as a professor."

Someone asked seriously, and Qiao Yu also answered seriously.

"Can you accept graduate students?"

"It's definitely possible! Let me apply for a doctoral supervisor directly."

As soon as Qiao Yu's words were sent, Gong Jiatao immediately inserted a strong sentence: "Entertainment Father, what do you think of my qualifications? It can still be your eyes?"

Qiao Yu replied without thinking: "Well, this guy is extremely shameless and can't be taken away!"

"Don't, adoptive father, I know everything!"

"So too, God Qiao, you forgot. We agreed to let me be your follower for the rest of your life!"

Well, Qiao Yu discovered that shamelessness can be contagious, but unfortunately Yu Wei's immunity is too strong.

But he was too lazy to continue chatting with them in the group now. Instead, he considered going to the oil pipe to see if the arguments were really as exaggerated as Yu Yongjun said.

...

Just as Qiao Yu was staying in the room and bragging with his friends, the internal approval department of the Ministry of Science and Technology was working overtime to hold a closed-door meeting.

Unsurprisingly, the project book submitted by Qiao Yu was under discussion. This time, the leaders of the competent department personally approved it.

Not only did the homework in advance, but also just transferred experts from other places to do the discussion.

In fact, this is not the first time a meeting has been held.

I have had two online discussions before, but this is the first time I have invited experts to Beijing for offline meetings.

"Dear experts, and our review team, thank you for your hard work. First of all, on behalf of the Ministry of Science and Technology, I would like to thank you for coming to Beijing and participating in this discussion on electronic computer simulated quantum computing.

I believe everyone is almost familiar with each other now. After all, we have organized two online meetings, and this time we specially invited you to conduct in-depth discussions offline.

The core goal of Qiao Yu's project is to use classic computers to simulate quantum computing capabilities, especially to implement Shor algorithms. I am an amateur in technology and will not make much speech.

However, before everyone speaks, I will first talk about the focus of the discussion of this meeting. We have already understood the significance and background of this project and do not need to be repeated.

So please focus on the discussions on the next meeting on practical issues related to project feasibility and resource requirements. In addition, this meeting is a confidential meeting, and the content of the meeting is prohibited from being spread."

After the leader sitting in the main seat said, he looked naturally at the first old man sitting on the left and said, "Academician Li Zhen, you are an expert in quantum computing, so why not let you start first."

Li Zhen nodded, then pushed his glasses and said, "Then I will express my opinion first."

"After reading Qiao Yu's plan, I have searched for some relevant information these days. At present, there are indeed relevant research on classic computer simulated quantum computing in the international community.

Generally speaking, it is based on two methods. The first is full-frame simulation of matrix operations. The advantage of this method is that it can accurately simulate quantum states, but the demand for computing resources is increasing exponentially.

The other is approximate simulation based on tensor networks. The advantage is that it can reduce the computing needs, but it will affect the accuracy of the simulation. After reading the relevant literature, the two technical solutions are immature.

Currently, the world's most advanced quantum computing simulations, such as IBM's Qiskit, Google's Cirq, and QuEST, can already simulate 40-50 qubits.

But Qiao Yu's project goal is to achieve efficient simulation of the Shor algorithm, which requires hundreds or even thousands of qubits. It can be said that if it succeeds, it is a technical miracle.

But how to say it... I personally think this miracle is not as good as the Riemann conjecture that it was suddenly solved. So if I could make a judgment on the feasibility of this project, I think it is feasible."

After saying that, Academician Li Zhen turned off the microphone, leaned back, and stopped talking.

The leader sitting in the main seat nodded and subconsciously looked at another Academician Zhuo who was sitting on his right hand who was obviously planning to speak.

But soon his eyes passed by him, and then stayed on the stenographer who was in charge of the meeting minutes for half a second. After seeing the stenographer stop writing, he looked at the two engineers sitting on the left who were attacking Academician Li Zhen.

"Chen Gaogong and Yan Gaogong, two experts in high-performance computers. What do you think? Can the supercomputing resources and performance we can call currently meet Dr. Qiao's needs?"

The two who were named to look at each other, and then, with a tacit understanding, Chen Ming, who was sitting in front, answered the question.

"In fact, the requirements for supercomputing in Dr. Qiao Yu's plan are not high. Not to mention our latest supercomputing performance, even the power of the older generation is more than enough.

Of course, to fully realize Dr. Qiao Yu's requirements, some hardware upgrades may be required. For example, adopting a new generation of tell-and-internet technology, optimizing communication protocols, and adding some high-bandwidth storage.

And the cooling system may need to be upgraded. In general, the investment is not large. Of course, if you can directly call the updated supercomputer, the cost will be less. And there are domestic substitutions.

To sum up, if we only discuss the feasibility of resource requirements, we also think this project is feasible."

The Academician Zhuo sat opposite Academician Li glanced at the two engineers with a bright look, but he still didn't say anything.

The leader in the main position nodded, then looked at the person behind the left: "Professor Zhu, what do you think of you doing calculation mathematics?"

"Actually, my opinion is similar to Academician Li. At present, the core of the international mainstream implementation of Shor algorithm is the quantum Fourier transform. This technology only requires O(n) complexity on quantum computers.

However, in classical computer simulation, the complexity may increase to O(2^n). So to put it bluntly, how to reduce the computational complexity is the key issue.

Therefore, whether the project goals can be achieved depends on whether the world-class problem can be solved. So in the final analysis, this project has nothing to do with hardware, it is just a pure mathematical problem.

Since it is a mathematical problem... Well, everyone knows that I don’t have the qualifications to evaluate Dr. Qiao Yu’s mathematical level. But I have 100% confidence in Dr. Qiao Yu’s ability in mathematics. So I think Dr. Qiao Yu’s project is extremely feasible."

...

After more than ten experts made speeches in this way, the leader finally turned his attention to Academician Zhuo, who had always wanted to speak.

"Academician Zhuo, you have been doing research on quantum chips and are also an expert in this field. What about your opinions?"

"I have no objection." Zhuo Gang shook his head and said simply.

No one is a fool, the attitude of the supervisor is obvious.

After asking around, I thought it was feasible, so how could he express his opinion?

Of course his opinion is not feasible! This project is launched, so what quantum chips are needed?

The problem is that he really didn't expect that a group of people would think that Qiao Yu's project was feasible, and he really didn't see where it was feasible!

But what's most annoying is that these people have analyzed the difficulties of this technology in depth and then gave feasible opinions.

What else can he say? Repeat the difficult points that these people said, and then say that they are not feasible?

Extremely angry!
