Qin Ke attaches great importance to the topic of topological quantum computing, not only for the sake of the agreement with Professor Koppet, but also to prevent the team’s countless days and nights of more than a year from being wasted, but also because it is indeed useful.

Very large subject research.

As long as a theoretical system of topological quantum computing that is logically self-consistent and can be used in practice is developed, it will play a huge role in promoting the world's scalable quantum computing and promote the development of quantum chips and even quantum computers. There may even be a great opportunity

Winning the highest crown in physics—the Nobel Prize in Physics!

Qin Ke is also a little eager for such a rumored top prize, but now he has fallen behind the team of Professor John Krauser of the University of California in terms of time progress.

Although even if Professor Krauser's team proposed a relatively reliable theoretical system for topological quantum computing first, Qin Ke was sure to develop a better theoretical system to surpass them, but in the end he was taken away from the top spot, at least in terms of the Nobel Prize.

You have to put in a lot of effort to compete.

In order to achieve the goal of last-come-first-served, Qin Ke must race against time to speed up progress.

So after hearing that the Qingning Quantum Computing Laboratory could be officially opened, Qin Ke gave Deng Zhaoliang and others a few instructions, and then hurriedly left the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory with Ning Qingyun.

Personal assistant Fang Yongtang had already been waiting under the fluid mechanics laboratory building when he made the call, picked up the two of them and drove off.

Qingning Quantum Computing Laboratory is not far from Qingmu University. It only takes 20 minutes by car including traffic lights, so it is very convenient to go back and forth.

While driving, Fang Yongtang asked with a grimace: "Boss, I've been trying to read the books on superconducting materials you recommended recently, but I still don't understand what the Majorana zero-energy mode is?"

Fang Yongtang is a very responsible "personal manager". She knows that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun have recently focused their work on the quantum computing laboratory. In order to better follow up on the progress and report the situation, she began to study hard through books

Understand some advanced terms related to quantum computing.

Ning Qingyun explained with a chuckle: "To put it simply, Majorana zero-energy mode refers to a type of topological non-trivial quasi-particle excitation in condensed matter physics. It obeys non-Abelian statistical laws and is an important way to construct topological qubits.

The basic unit, our experiments are basically conducted around it. The main idea is to use topological superconductors supplemented by topological insulators to form a new crystal material to achieve lower cost, large-area orderly and adjustable Mayonnaise

Rana zero-energy mode array, and based on this, a complete theoretical system of topological quantum computing is formed."

Fang Yongtang: "..."

Why does it seem so simple when it comes from the boss lady’s mouth, but I just can’t understand it?

Fang Yongtang thought for a while and felt that he would not understand if he continued to ask, so he decisively gave up his plan to continue asking and instead reported on the overall situation of the quantum computing laboratory.

The current security standards of the Quantum Computing Laboratory are similar to those of the Lime Plant Cultivation Laboratory. The Lime Security Company has arranged 20 security guards to be responsible for the security of the laboratory. The entire laboratory is surrounded by tall steel wire walls and has surveillance cameras.

Lin Li, the entire security system is very complete, the entry and exit inspection system, and confidentiality management are all strictly implemented.

After all, the experimental equipment inside is too precious. If some thief breaks in and damages it or steals important parts, it will be a joke to talk about advancing topological quantum computing.

The matter was of great importance, Qin Kedao said: "We will check the security system later and then go to the conference room."

"clear."

When the three of them arrived outside the quantum computing laboratory, the security guards naturally recognized them and immediately saluted solemnly, but they still carefully checked their passes before allowing them to enter the laboratory.

The three of them checked the security work again under the leadership of the security captain. Overall, they were very satisfied. In fact, as far as Qin Ke knew, Uncle Yang also arranged additional personnel to secretly protect the laboratory on the periphery. The national

We also attach great importance to topological quantum computing and look forward to the early results.

"It's very good. Everyone has worked hard, and the year-end bonus will not be lost to everyone."

"Thank you, Mr. Qin!" After being praised by the boss and thinking of the generous year-end bonus, the security captain returned to his job with full energy.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun also quickened their pace and rushed to the conference room, while Fang Yongtang went to check logistics and other chores.

…

When Qin Ke and the two walked into the conference room of Qingning Quantum Computing Laboratory, supervisor Harold, deputy director Ling Shaotang, Gan Peixuan and other Xia Guo and Deguo scientific researchers had already gathered here, waiting for the two to meet.

The two of them stood up one after another.

Ling Shaotang, Gan Peixuan and others do not speak German, but Harold and other foreign researchers can speak English. The two parties can still communicate normally in English, not to mention that the laboratory is also equipped with two professional German-English bilingual translators. Both of them are proficient in English.

The salary of German and English translators in Xia Guo is not lower than that of formal researchers. In addition to helping the scientific researchers in Xia Guo adapt to life in Xia Guo, they also provide the most accurate communication when the language communication between the two parties is not smooth.

This is also Qin Ke's arrangement. After all, scientific research is no small matter, and a small communication error can easily lead to experimental errors.

Qin Ke took Ning Qingyun and sat down in the conference room, motioning for everyone to sit down as well. The girl in charge of logistics immediately came over to serve tea to everyone.

Qin Ke took a sip of tea, looked around at everyone, and asked with a smile in English: "How is it? You should all be familiar with it, right?"

Three days ago, under the personal interviews of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, all the remaining Xia nationality scientific researchers had been recruited. In addition to debugging and testing the experimental equipment during these three days, Qin Ke also asked Harold and Ling Shaotang respectively.

Lead the Deguo team and the Xiaguo team to "break the ice" to familiarize each other with each other's areas of expertise as early as possible and improve the efficiency of teamwork as much as possible.

After receiving affirmative answers from Harold and Ling Shaotang, Qin Ke clapped his hands gently: "Okay, since everyone already knows each other and has a certain understanding of each other, I will not introduce myself. Then our

The research project will officially start from today."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He took out a USB flash drive: "Here is the latest experimental plan that Qingjun and I have compiled recently. Take a look at it first. If you have any questions, ask them immediately.

The two of us will answer the questions. We are all researchers hired by Qingning Technology with high salaries. Basically, they are all Ph.D.s or above and have considerable scientific research experience. You are welcome to check and fill in the gaps."

Gan Peixuan also works as a laboratory assistant. She immediately came over and took the USB flash drive from Qin Ke's hand, inserted it into the laptop, and projected the documents inside on the big screen.

“Based on the analysis and compilation of previous data by Qingjun and I, and after re-optimizing the mathematical model, we deduced the following conclusion: the natural stress in the crystal can induce the generation of double lattices along the fe-fe and as-as lattice directions.

Axial charge density wave fringes, their wavelengths are λ1~2.7nm and λ2~24.3nm respectively. The cdw with wavelength λ2 has an obvious modulation effect on the superconducting energy gap. When a magnetic field perpendicular to the sample surface is applied, the magnetic field formed

All the pass vortices are pinned on the as-as direction charge density wave stripes with weak superconducting order, forming an orderly vortex array..."

Qin Ke pointed at the deduction data on the big screen and explained it for nearly twenty minutes. His throat was a little dry, so he switched to Ning Qingyun to explain the details of the experimental plan.

The girl explained the experimental plan in a pleasant voice and concluded in English: "Our experimental plan is to verify the above deduction results. The results of this verification are very important and related to our subsequent research direction. If a large area

The ordered and tunable Majorana zero-energy mode array can indeed exist stably in lifeas, and the existence of biaxial charge density waves can reduce the symmetry of the crystal, thus changing the topological band structure near the Fermi level.

Then the progress of our research work will exceed 85%!"

The conference room was extremely quiet. Everyone listened to the explanations of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun with bated breath. When they heard the 85% progress, everyone became energetic.

Harold was even more impressed. He knew that the terrifying amount of research data had only been handed over to Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun for more than a month. From the explanation just now, it can be seen that these two young physics professors have completely digested and mastered it.

The essence of the experiment, this designed experimental plan has no flaws, which is comparable to that of senior physicists such as his mentor Professor Koppet.

Harold's confidence increased a bit, and he immediately stated: "Don't worry, two professors, we will ensure that we strictly follow the experimental plan. Now that we have our own experimental equipment, the latest experimental data will definitely be available within ten days!"

"

In fact, if it was Coppett's original team, this experiment could be completed in three days, but now with new equipment and a new team, Harold was cautious, so he reported a relatively certain time.

"Okay! Ten days in ten days!" Qin Ke glanced at the whole audience with bright eyes: "I don't need to elaborate on the importance and significance of topological quantum computing. This is a major issue that affects the development of computers in the entire world! I hope you all can

We can all go all out and do our best! My goal is to bring this subject to a successful conclusion before the Spring Festival next year and launch the first shot of our Lime Quantum Computing Laboratory! There will be more to follow

More exciting scientific research topics are waiting for us to explore! Come on!

"

Qin Ke's smile seemed to have some kind of invisible contagion. The newly formed team members present were all excited, clenching their fists and shouting: "Come on!"

…

In the following days, Qingning Quantum Computing Laboratory entered a busy working state, and Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun came to the site almost every day to guide and solve some problems encountered in the experiment, and clarify some experimental plans.

Details not mentioned.

This is the first time that the two of them have completely independently arranged and designed such extremely complex quantum computing and superconducting material experiments. Previously, they were only responsible for the mathematical modeling and deduction part.

But now that they have taken on this burden, they naturally won't have any fear of shrinking from dependence.

This experiment mainly focused on iron-based superconductors with added lithium and color to form a double-layer self-doping structure.

Compared with seven different superconducting materials, such as superconducting semiconductor nanowires, magnetic atomic chains, topological insulators, and superconducting heterojunctions, this iron-based superconductor has obvious advantages. It can reduce complex material structure design and has initially achieved

A single component is easier to implement for a newly formed team and is more suitable for team building.

Qin Ke didn't want his first experiment to fail repeatedly and damage his morale, so he deliberately chose this iron-based superconductor with good intentions.

Time rushed to the end of September. During this period, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun also took the time to complete the acceptance work of the second phase upgrade of Qing Ning Data Center.

After the upgrade, the server resources of the Qingning data center have been expanded three times, making the computing power of Weiguang a qualitative leap, which is completely comparable to conventional supercomputing.

In terms of computing speed alone, lv4’s low-light is estimated to be ranked among the top 100 supercomputers in the world.

Taking into account the cost of the entire computer room and the upgrade price, the total cost is only about 750 million. Compared with the cost of more than 2 billion for mainstream supercomputers, the cost-effectiveness is really outstanding.

Thanks to the substantial improvement in the computing speed of lv4 low light, Qin Ke is now conducting research on the application of n-s equations in urban planning and air pollution prevention, as well as mathematical modeling and deduction operations on topological quantum computing, using all

It's a glimmer.

Correspondingly, the power consumption of the Qing Ning Data Center is rising. Fortunately, another great gift from Uncle Yang - a power station specially built for the Qing Ning Data Center has been built and officially put into use.

It avoids affecting the normal electricity consumption of surrounding residents, and the electricity bill can be reduced by 30% according to the standards of high-tech enterprises, saving a lot of money.

…

The first experiment on topological quantum computing in Xia State was finally successful on September 30, two days ahead of schedule.

Harold, who was responsible for the specific implementation of the experimental plan, announced excitedly: "Success! The stability rate of the large-area ordered and adjustable Majorana zero-energy mode array in lifeas exceeds 88%!"

The entire laboratory burst into cheers! Even Ling Shaotang, who had always been a bit arrogant and aloof, could not hide his joy. Others even high-fived each other excitedly, cheering.

"Long live Professor Qin and Professor Ning! They actually derived almost the same results through mathematical models! It's amazing!"

"I'm convinced. This time I'm completely convinced. If the two bosses say the moon is square in the future, maybe I'll believe it."

"Haha, you are such a flatterer. When you see Professor Qin and Professor Ning here, you want to flatter them, right?"
