"Brother, do you represent the opinions of Guoxin, or is it just your personal interest?"
In a teahouse outside the Electrical Engineering Department, Professor Ye put down his mobile phone, made a cup of tea for Dr. Qin Weimin who was sitting opposite, and asked with a smile.
"Both." Dr. Qin picked up the teacup and chuckled: "It seems that the United States is getting serious about it. Now... whether it is the international situation or the existing domestic technology accumulation, domestic wafer fabs
It is difficult to achieve a breakthrough under the existing technical framework."
"Isn't there still TSMC?"
"That's not Guoxin, and who knows what TSMC will become? You know?"
Professor Ye smiled and shook his head, of course she didn't know.
"So you see, for National Chip, no matter what the situation, the outcome will not be the same. To break through, the only way is to break through the existing semiconductor framework."
"So you convinced Mr. Meng?"
"I convinced a ghost and got scolded a lot."
Professor Ye smiled unconsciously: "Then why are you here again?"
"Because last month, Samsung started taking action, and then Jiutian seemed to have received guidance and came over to discuss the issue of this kind of hybrid chip in the future. In addition, there have been frequent rumors in the theoretical physics community recently, and everyone realized that
So, perhaps hybrid chip-driven material generation will be a future direction."
The two of them drank tea and chatted. About an hour later, the young man who was tired of life appeared at the stairs of the tea house.
…
"Uncle Qin, this is our initial function."
Ye Ming opened the notebook and pushed it towards Dr. Qin: "It is inevitable that chips will become carbon-based, but the current carbon-based chip technology has still stayed in the laboratory, so we can only use this hybrid model."
Dr. Qin nodded and looked at this simple EDA software.
As Ye Ming said, the current initial functions are indeed very rudimentary, and the interface is very simple and very 90s style. At first glance, I thought it was Protel resurrected.
But after clicking on the command bar, Dr. Qin realized that he had underestimated this "Integrated Intelligence Technology".
"You developed this in three months?"
"It's been about half a year. In fact, it was mainly written by me." Ye Ming didn't blush at all when he said this: "Currently, the function is only used in hybrid chips - well, some people also call them brain-computer chips and biochips, but those are all
It is easy to cause ambiguity.”
"Well, I have read your paper and other similar articles. I can probably understand your circuit design. The main difficulty is not the silicon-based chip part, but the connection between the silicon-based chip and the carbon chip and the electrode array.
Partially, right?”
"Yes!" Ye Ming nodded heavily: "In the past, we thought we could divide this into two parts to combine, but later we realized that this would not work at all, because the integration level would only get higher and higher..."
"Then how many processes can you design..." Dr. Qin paused as he said this: "It seems that it can no longer be expressed in traditional process technology? It should be electrode density?"
"Haha, almost. Theoretically, it is possible to design tens of millions of microelectrode arrays, but the field of neuroscience is still making breakthroughs. The specific step of integration depends on the future. But in the future, neural applications and chip integration will
It must be a spiral and mutually reinforcing.”
…
Dr. Qin and Ye Ming were chatting enthusiastically here, and Professor Ye was not listening to the Book of Heaven. She had long given up on her higher academic pursuits and just wanted to raise her children well. So after a pause
After the meeting, she took out her phone and scrolled through Weibo out of boredom.
She doesn't follow many people. Apart from her former students, she only has some friends in the education circle. However, she usually doesn't understand the topics of the students, and her friends... generally rarely post on Weibo.
.
Therefore, she usually just looks at the hot searches.
Fortunately, I can still take a look at the hot searches now. It was really a mess before.
Just after she refreshed the page, a topic instantly shot to the top of the hot search list.
#Our country achieves quantum hegemony#
Professor Ye was stunned when he saw this super arrogant topic.
She is a computer professor. Even if she is not "motivated", she still knows that "quantum supremacy" is easy to shout, but to achieve...
Although the theory of quantum computers has been proposed for decades, it will only take the next 20 years for the track to really start.
Anyone who works in computers knows that this track is not a 100-meter track, but a century-old track.
Now that the racing circuit has just started, you dare to call "hegemony"...
Let's put it this way, whoever shouts will be slapped in the face.
For example, in China, it has never been shouted.
Arrogant topics will definitely bring traffic. Even if Professor Ye doubts it again, she can't help but click on it.
This is an article published by Science and Technology Daily.
"According to this newspaper, my country's quantum computer has recently achieved a historic breakthrough. Academician Pan Jian, Professor Lu Qichen, Professor Wu Tian and others from the Jiuzhang team of the University of Science and Technology, together with Ye Ming and others, special assistant researcher of the Provincial Communications Intelligent Computer Research Group, have completed an epoch-making project. Designed and realized a miniaturized optical quantum confinement well."
"Under superconducting conditions, the research center completed the design of a computing matrix of two thousand optical qubits, taking the lead in completing the perfect solution of classical computer problems by quantum computers."
"This means that Chinese scientists have taken the lead in opening the door to classical commercial use of quantum computers..."
Then below is a photo.
In the photo, a young man who is obviously much younger is standing at the edge, smiling unusually flatly.
Professor Ye sat up straight instantly.
This is an article published by Science and Technology Daily, not a random shout-out by self-media for the sake of traffic - although the article does not mention the four words "quantum supremacy" in the entire article. But everyone has to admit that these four words are the key to the entire article.
Best summary.
However, this is not what Professor Ye is looking at.
What she saw was that Science and Technology Daily actually mentioned Ye Ming's name!
You must know that reports of this level must come from relevant parties and not just written by reporters from daily newspapers. Being on the list means that they must have made a contribution.
This guy, the quantum computer also had a hand in it?
…
Feeling Professor Ye's eyes, Ye Ming and Qin Weimin stopped talking.
"Ye Ming."
"ah?"
"Is this you?"
Professor Ye handed the phone to Ye Ming.
Taking the phone, Ye Ming took a look at the report - he didn't know it was on the hot search, so he coughed sheepishly: "After the last game, I went back to give a report. In the process of sorting out my thoughts
I came up with a new model and asked them to do some experiments."
"Let me take a look." Dr. Qin also took the phone. After reading it for a few seconds, he was just like Professor Ye, stunned on the spot.
But his mind was spinning very fast and he immediately asked: "This is not a quantum annealer, is it?"
"No, it's entangled qubits."
Dr. Qin almost breathed in to his heels!
Professor Ye also stared at Ye Ming: "Have you really realized the calculation of classic problems?"
