For Sundar Pichai, this was obviously a piece of news that he was not very accepting.

He is not a scientist and does not need to care about the changes the progress of theory will bring to mathematics and physics.

But he is a capitalist, or the agent of the capitalist, and what he needs to care about is whose more advanced theories are in and whether they can bring benefits to capital.

Even if you cannot see the gain for the time being, at least you cannot bring losses to the capital he controls.

But unfortunately, now he is likely to have to face the worst situation. If the news spreads, there will be losses that are almost inevitable.

He is facing a decision at this time whether to give up or temporarily seal the research of the Google Quantum AI team.

Giving up means billions of dollars in investment have been wasted, but this is not the most terrifying thing.

This is a layout of more than ten years.

When their scientists began to develop quantum mechanics and derived the branch of quantum computing, they already realized what the quantum computing era represents.

The concept of quantum hegemony has even been extended.

Of course, there is another way to introduce new theories and develop new technologies. But this involves the construction of the entire commercial ecosystem.

Including the corresponding software development, application scenario exploration and partner selection issues. Theoretical innovation may not immediately have an impact on the market, but theories that have been actually verified and feasible can do this.

So soon Sandal Pichai's brain came to the most favorable conclusion.

“Can new theories help us regain the technological leadership? Or can our existing accumulation take advantage of new theories?”

Thomas Curian immediately replied: "This requires Professor Martinis to make a judgment, but as I said just now, he did not attend this public report meeting. Maybe he would have to wait until he contacted the person who attended the exchange meeting.

There is a conclusion.

Of course, even if we hope, even if we accumulate early, whether it is hardware or software, it can really fit perfectly with the new theory, we may not be able to get it.

I have heard of an important news. This report was urgently stopped by the organizer after Qiao Yu announced two new Mason prime numbers."

Thomas Curian didn't say it very clearly, but he believed that Sundar Pichai could understand what he wanted to express.

They are all smart people, and they will point themselves to important issues when it comes to their level.

After thinking for a moment, Sundar Pichai asked, “Do you think it is possible for us to hire Qiao Yu as the chief scientist or technical strategy consultant?

He doesn't have to come to the headquarters to serve full-time, or part-time. He just needs to accept some commissions and provide feasibility advice for some projects in Google Labs."

For CEOs of all high-tech companies, they probably understand the saying that talents are the primary productivity.

Especially those technical talents who are truly qualified to lead.

Moreover, Google actually has many Chinese scientists, especially computer vision, natural language processing, artificial intelligence, and deep learning.

Just as someone joked before, the competition of artificial intelligence technology in this world is a game between Chinese local scientists and Chinese American scientists.

As for the technology in other countries, it can be ignored.

Especially in Europe, which once had the Renaissance, it is far behind in the new technological revolution and competition for productivity, and is so bad that it is impossible to look directly at.

Especially in the past decade, China and Amelika have been competing against each other, and are competing at all levels.

But the two major powers of the East and the West can still live step by step, but the lives of old Europe are getting worse and worse.

Whether it is industry or technology, development has begun to lag significantly behind.

Even if some emerging technology companies have developed by chance, just check the shareholders behind them and you will find that they have nothing to do with Europe, and they may even directly acquire them in the United States.

For example, DeepMind, Nuanc Communications, which are emerging in the field of artificial intelligence, have earlier ARM, and Imagination Technologies.

In particular, Imagination Technologies, which was also one of the world's most advanced global chip design companies at that time, was also Apple's official GPU supplier.

The American private equity fund that acquired this company is even said to have a background in China Assets.

This world is often so magical.

The eldest and the second in the village had a quarrel. Everyone else wanted to watch the fun. Who would dare to think that the family would fall into trouble as they watched...

This is probably the current dilemma of Europe. Although we can still make some money at the academic level, at the latest technical level, Europe has even lost the qualification to serve the table and eat...

So in a sense, Sundar Pichai’s idea can be said to be very appropriate. Inviting Qiao Yu to serve as a part-time technology development strategy consultant with Google is not condescending.

If both sides can cooperate, at least quantum computing can defeat the whole world.

Moreover, the seventeen-year-old Fields Medal winner does not seem to have any bottleneck in academic research progress...

If this idea can be realized, perhaps Google can really redefine the boundaries of technology in the near future.

For a senior vice president in charge of technology like Thomas Curian, Sundar Pichai's words undoubtedly meant to him.

If talents like Qiao Yu can be recruited, it will undoubtedly be the most cost-effective for executives like them.

After all, if this kind of theory and technology that can be passed on across eras will inevitably affect the stock prices of technology companies.

Especially for Google.

You should know that quantum hegemony is first hyped by companies like Google, IBM and Microsoft. Although this is true.

After all, Shor's has determined that it can complete the factorization of large integers in polynomial time since the date of its proposal.

Modern encryption systems, whether they are RSA, ECC, or DH, rely on large integer factorization or discrete logarithm problems.

The reason why quantum hegemony cannot be used directly to intimidate now is nothing more than the hardware that does not have efficient hardware to run Shor's algorithm.

This is also the reason why everyone invested heavily in researching quantum computers.

No matter who designs a quantum computer that can run Shor's algorithm efficiently for a long time, it can at least charge a few decades of protection fees.

Even the encryption technology in the post-quantum era requires them to take action, right?

Who would have thought that it would be possible to use electronic computers to simulate quantum computing?

If there is no response, when the news spreads, even if there is no sufficient evidence to prove that Qiao Yu's theory will directly challenge modern encryption systems, it will also affect Google's stock price.

And it will really prove this later that Google's stock price may fall by a thousand feet.

As we all know, the salary of Google executives actually accounts for only a small part of the basic salary and year-end bonus. The big part is still stock incentives.

Especially restricted stock rewards. Most of these stocks have unlocking cycles and cannot be cashed out before they expire.

If Google's stock price falls too much in the future, the most serious damage to assets will be the executives.

So Thomas Curian said without hesitation: "I think it can be tried. However, we have no direct contact with Qiao Yu for the time being. If we just send an email, we are not sure that he will receive it. After all, there will definitely be other aspects.

resistance.”

Speaking of this, Thomas changed his tone and asked, "Of course, you can think of ways to do this. But if you can convey the message, how should you discuss salary and incentives?"

"Let Qiao Yu offer a price, but we must first explain that the consultant's salary must be based on equity incentives. As long as he accepts this, I can talk to the board of directors."

Sundar Pichai said without hesitation.

I have to say that this is the most suitable one, directly linking the consultant's salary to restricted equity.

There is no way, mathematicians are too smart.

Sundar Pichai was also afraid that Qiao Yu would not work if he offered a huge salary, so he could not explain it to the board of directors.

Especially Qiao Yu's identity is very special. Even if such a thing happens, as long as this guy stays in China, Google can say that there is no way to deal with him.

But what you accept is that stocks are different, not only everyone can prosper.

After all, Google is a listed company in the US stock market. There are many restrictions on transactions, and the entire process can be supervised.

No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one reading!

Qiao Yuzhen won’t be able to cash out the stocks easily if she doesn’t work. At least she has a way to check and balance.

"I understand. Professor Martinis has many acquaintances who went to China to attend this public report meeting. Maybe someone can give me a sentence.

By the way, there is news that Qiao Yu's mother owns a company that provides computing services and has just registered this year."

"Let's do it first. Let's talk about it when there is news. By the way, let Professor Martinis report to me tomorrow."

"Okay, Mr. Pichai."

Sundar Pichai quickly hung up Thomas Curian's phone number. It was not that he was anxious, but that another phone number came in.

There is no way, today is destined to be a sleepless night.

...

In fact, it's not just Sundar Pichai who can't sleep well today.

Many bigwigs in the technology industry are following the phone calls one by one. In addition to the technology industry, the same is true for the financial industry.

What many people don’t know is that in fact, many of the latest technologies are often directly applied in the financial circle.

For example, a financial model.

Stock market, credit market, subprime mortgage market... God knows how many ultra-low signal-to-noise ratio financial data has accumulated.

More than ten years ago, various mathematical statistical methods were directly applied to various financial mathematical models, especially quantitative trading.

This is no longer the era when several excellent traders could conduct financial confrontations by closing the door and manually operating. Large companies rely on precise mathematical models and powerful computing power.

This is also the reason why retail investors are unable to compete with institutions in the era of advanced information and the fewer news about legendary retail investors.

At least ordinary retail investors cannot afford the massive expenses required to extract valuable information from disordered financial data.
