Deng Guo, MIT, Quantum Computing Institute.
Baker is here with researchers from Google, IMB, Intel and others.
They came here to solve the problem of quantum computing, and many of their companies had previously competed with each other.
But today, they abandoned competition and cooperated together for one goal, to seize quantum supremacy!
The leader among them is still Baker.
After the last time terahertz communication technology became a joke, Baker was invisible in the media for a long time, whitewashed in various ways, and now he has regained some reputation.
"Everyone, if we follow the previous thinking and compete with Shenzhou on the speed of technological research and development, the chance of winning cannot be guaranteed." Baker said tactfully, "They can gather the scientific research strength of the country, but we may not be able to cooperate so well."
Everyone knows that we are from different countries, different companies, and research institutions. How can we cooperate completely and without reservation?
"So, we are going to adopt a new plan this time." Baker said, "We are going to cooperate with China's scientific research institute and He Xingzhou!"
"Cooperate with He Xingzhou?" Everyone was puzzled, "Since we want to cooperate with them, why should we join forces?"
"Yes, they may not agree!"
"Dr. Baker, what exactly do you think?" everyone asked in confusion.
Baker smiled and said: "There are many ways to cooperate!"
"In the field of quantum computing, the qubits (quantum memory and entangled states) used by quantum computers to store quantum information will inevitably be affected by environmental noise. Therefore, errors will occur randomly in the qubits during the calculation process, thus affecting the calculation. The result is fatal, and the probability of errors increases with the size of the system. This is the so-called faulty quantum gate!"
"Quantum gates mean that errors will occur in quantum computers. The more calculations are performed, the more serious the errors will be! So how to design a quantum error correction scheme is a problem that restricts every quantum computer researcher! China must also face such a problem question!"
Everyone nodded. There is still no perfect solution to this problem.
Baker continued: "What if we provided a solution and made it public?"
"Do we already have a solution?" one researcher asked curiously.
"No." Baker said simply, he smiled: "But we have a plan that seems to be the right one!"
"As long as we announce it, He Xingzhou and his team will definitely refer to it. If they continue to study according to this plan, they will find out after spending a lot of time, energy and money that they are on the wrong research path."
"At this time, we won't win without fighting!" Baker said.
Another expert asked: "How can you guarantee that they will adopt our solution?"
Baker said confidently: "Because no one knows the perfect quantum error correction solution! And the solution I will propose is the most deceptive. We have studied it for more than ten years before we found that it does not work!"
"In the field of quantum computing, there is no previous experience to refer to. At this time, we propose a solution, which is like playing a mirage to travelers in the desert who are dying of thirst, and they will walk in without hesitation!"
"This move is really cruel!" Everyone sighed with emotion.
Baker immediately began to implement his plan. He held a high-profile press conference, invited many guests, specially invited Chinese media, and even sent an invitation letter to He Xingzhou - although he knew that He Xingzhou would definitely not come.
At the press conference, Baker announced to the world: "Today, our human civilization is at the juncture between the old technological era and the new technological era. This juncture may hinder us for ten years, a hundred years, or even a thousand years!"
"Quantum computers are the weapon for mankind to break through this technological barrier!"
"So, today I joined forces with the world's top quantum computing experts to study quantum computing technology."
"I believe that science should respect no borders and every scientist should abandon their prejudices and work closely together."
"In the past, I had some arguments with Dr. He Xingzhou from China. Now, I am willing to give up my prejudices and invite Dr. He Xingzhou and his team to join us to study quantum computing technology!"
Baker's words confused the media. They thought Baker was going to challenge He Xingzhou again, but he actually invited He Xingzhou to cooperate before they arrived?
Immediately, some media published an article: "Dr. Baker is a selfless and great scientist who will not care about past grudges for the sake of scientific progress!"
"A true scientist has a heart for all mankind!"
"Dr. Baker expressed his willingness to share the results of quantum computing with China!"
"To show my sincerity!" Baker continued, "I'm going to share an important technique here."
"That's quantum error correction technology that solves quantum gates. Our team designed and fabricated a tunable coupler, a device that allows researchers to turn on/off the interaction of two qubits to control their operation while protecting Fragile qubits."
"Its error response mechanism will improve the errors of two-qubit gates... We have published all the technical information in scientific research papers, and welcome Dr. He Xingzhou to discuss it together!"
"Thank you, thank you everyone!"
Baker's speech aroused cheers from the audience.
"Dr. Baker has such a broad mind! This is a real scientist!"
"Yes, I misunderstood him before! I apologize to him!"
"Have you seen the people from China? This is the pattern of our scientists!"
"All the technical information has been released. This is our contribution to human civilization!" The media and audience unanimously praised it!
Not to mention foreign netizens, even domestic netizens were completely confused by Baker's operation.
"Sheike suddenly became a good person? What does this mean?"
"I don't know much about quantum gates or quantum error correction. But it sounds like this technology is very powerful, so he just shared it like this?"
"My sect thinks this guy is not a good person."
"Maybe it's a good thing that they're sharing technology?"
Not to mention netizens, even professionals can't tell whether this is good or bad!
"This adjustable coupler scheme seems to make sense!" In the Institute of Quantum Computing, researchers are reading the scheme proposed by Baker.
He Xingzhou also finished reading and asked the others, "What do you think?"
"This... seems to be possible to solve the problem of quantum computing errors!"
"But with Baker's urine, he can't be so kind, right?"
"Yes, but it would be a pity not to try. Science is a process of constant exploration and trial and error!"
"Hahaha! I have to say that Baker and the people behind him are indeed very insidious!" He Xingzhou laughed, "You can't see clearly, I don't blame you, because this trap of his is designed to deceive professionals!"
"Is there something wrong with this plan?" Min Jie asked.
"Of course there are problems!" He Xingzhou nodded, "The most tempting point of their plan is that the high-fidelity quantum gates increase the number of executable operations. More operations mean that more complex operations can be implemented on larger-scale processors. algorithm."
"At first glance, it seems promising to solve the problem of quantum computing. But in fact, higher energy levels of the coupler are needed to cancel the interactions between the qubits that produce errors."
"In layman's terms, assuming the fault is flooding, their plan is to bring in earthworks and plug the gap. After a short period of time, it looks like the flood has been blocked!"
"In fact, the water level of the flood is constantly increasing. At this time, more earthwork is needed to block the flood. The higher the blockage, the higher the blockage, and the more resources are consumed. Even if the river bed is higher than the ground, the flood cannot be blocked. Block it!"
After hearing his words, Min Jie reacted, "The greater the number of operations in quantum computing, the more qubits are needed. According to this plan, the qubits we need are constantly superimposed without end! It will never be possible to solve the quantum problem in this way. The problem with the door!”
After listening to what they said, other researchers all understood, "To control water, it is better to use dredging than blocking!"
"This Baker is so insidious! If we study this coupler, we will not make any progress even if we study it for several years!"
"What a risk. Fortunately, Chief Engineer He was here, we all fell into a trap!" The researchers thought about it carefully and broke out in a cold sweat.
Now is a critical moment for the Xuanwu Project. If the research direction is wrong, it will lead to unimaginable serious consequences!
"That's so despicable!" Min Jie had a hot temper and scolded directly, "I really want to blow Baker's head off!"
"Then what should we do, reject it directly?" someone asked.
"It's not necessary." He Xingzhou said, "Now Baker proposes global cooperation and working together to promote human civilization. He is standing on the high moral ground."
"If we object, a bunch of media will come to criticize us immediately!"
"Since they say so, then we agree and deal with it casually."
"Isn't this too cheap for him?" Min Jie said.
"I'm not finished yet." He Xingzhou added, "We must not only agree on the surface, but also appear to be studying this coupler technology."
"I think they don't have mature quantum computing technology. If after a while, we suddenly announce that we have successfully developed a quantum computer using their technology, what will they think?"
Min Jie thought about it and smiled: "I'm afraid that boy Baker will doubt his life!"
"Then they will wonder if there is something they haven't studied clearly!" the researchers laughed.
"But there is still a problem!" Min Jie asked, "How to solve this quantum error correction technology?"
He Xingzhou has already learned the relevant technology. He said: "It can be solved by encoding quantum information of a single resonator."
Everyone fell silent and listened carefully.
He Xingzhou said: "Encoding quantum information into Bose modes...using the infinite Hilbert space of resonators to encode redundant information can achieve qubit or even high-dimensional quantum encoding, and the number of error channels remains unchanged. , mainly due to the loss of resonator excitation. Monitoring an error symptom can reveal the problem..."
"In layman's terms, this technology uses observation resonators to observe qubits, detect errors in time, and correct them."
"How can it still be like this?" Min Jie slammed the table and exclaimed, "It's really amazing!"
"We have thought about similar methods before, but we were unable to monitor the status. Mr. He's solution perfectly solved this problem!" Others also woke up.
"With this solution, the core problem of quantum computing has been solved!"
"Even if we fail to make a superconducting quantum computer, there is no problem in making a semiconductor quantum computer!"
"Hahaha, I'm looking forward to Baker's reaction now!"
…
Now that Baker has expressed his intention to cooperate, He Xingzhou's team is not idle either. He Xingzhou himself did not respond, but an unknown person from the team responded, "We agree with Dr. Baker's point of view. We should put aside our prejudices and cooperate with each other!"
"We are studying the technical information released by Dr. Baker and are very grateful for your efforts..."
Baker was attending a charity dinner in New York when he saw the response.
"Hahahaha..." Baker smiled from ear to ear, "They must have studied it, they must have studied it!"
"As long as you do research, you will definitely be led into the pit!"
"We have already won! Hahaha, I thought He Xingzhou was some kind of genius, proficient in various fields, but I didn't expect it to be more than this!"
"Dr. Baker, what are you so happy about?" Behind him, a young man wearing a luxurious tuxedo came over holding a red wine glass in his hand.
His name is Rodney, and he is a senior member of the International Ocean Research Organization, the research institution established by Bai Ying and others two years ago to study marine pollution and mutant organisms.
Today's dinner is sponsored by their organization, asking celebrities to donate to them.
As a well-known scientist, Baker was also invited to attend this charity dinner.
"Rodney, I thought of a very funny thing." Baker smiled. He clinked glasses with Rodney and chatted with each other.
Rodney comes from a prominent family. He is the protagonist of this charity dinner. He is studying mutant creatures and has made extraordinary achievements in protecting the ocean and the earth - at least this is what the media promotes.
And Baker is a recent celebrity in the scientific community. If the two of them cooperate, they will join forces.
Rodney noticed that Baker had been staring at a young girl.
He smiled and said: "That's the recently popular Hollywood actress, Bella. She has a really nice face and figure. I invested in her next film. Can I introduce you to her?"
When Baker heard this, he smiled and said, "What an honor!"
As soon as Rodney waved, a waiter went over to chat with Bella in a low voice. A few seconds later, Baker saw Bella wearing bright lipstick twisting her sexy figure and walking towards him.
A romantic encounter is about to begin.
"Don't stop me, let me pass!" A voice interrupted Baker's fantasy, and an old man with unshaven beard, red face and thick neck was yelling at the waiter. He ignored the obstruction and rushed in Baker's direction.
Seeing his face, Rodney frowned slightly and said displeasedly: "Who let this lunatic in? Didn't you tell him to get out?"
The waiter wondered: "We didn't know he sneaked in."
The old man shouted: "I am Barry, a marine biologist. I am a doctor. I want to see Dr. Baker! I have something important to say!"
Baker asked Rodney, "Do you know him?"
Rodney smiled contemptuously and said: "There was a lunatic in our organization who always said stupid things like the end of mankind. We have expelled him."
