Flying Artificial Intelligence
Need for "Flying Computing Power"
On one side are increasingly complex computational problems
On the other side is the sluggish supply of computing power
Traditional computers are no longer enough
again
Supercomputers are "electricity-swallowing monsters"
The world's largest supercomputer currently consumes electricity
This is equivalent to the amount of electricity generated by a small thermal power station
How can I save more energy?
If computers could have "superpowers"
It's like Sun Wukong has a "doppelganger technique".
A "Wukong" can't be counted
Pluck a hair and blow it
Countless "Goku" are counted together
"Computing power anxiety" can be easily solved
Dreams come true
The quantum computer was born
A "Wukong" to count
Or countless "Wukong" counted together
This is the difference between classical computing and quantum computing
How much difference can the speed of the two be?
In 1994, a 155-bit cipher was deciphered
The most advanced classical computers of the time were needed
Continuous calculation for up to 20 years
And with quantum computers
It only takes 0.3 seconds to decipher a code of this length"
Long Guilu, vice president of scientific research at the Beijing Institute of Quantum Information Science and professor at Tsinghua University, said
The biggest highlight of quantum computers
It's accelerated computing
At the opening ceremony of the 2024 Zhongguancun Forum Annual Conference
"夸父"(Quafu)大规模量子云算力集群
Once released, it was amazing
It has a total usable qubit count of 590
It is free and open to users worldwide
What does more qubits mean?
As the number of manipulated quanta increases
Computing power is growing exponentially
The higher the number of bits
The faster the quantum computer calculates
Just the other day
Bose Quantum, a Beijing-based quantum technology company
An experiment was done at the press conference
A man holds a 550ml bottle of mineral water and releases it from his chest
Let the water fall freely to the floor
The whole process is only 540 milliseconds
It's almost a blink of an eye
Loading...
meanwhile
A coherent optical quantum computer with 550 computational qubits
It took only 5.4 milliseconds to complete a massive scale calculation
This time is only 1% of the time taken in the blink of an eye
In that 5.4 milliseconds
Quantum computers can perform up to "2 to the 550th power"
presently
Quantum computing has moved from the lab to the application
In the fields of code breaking, big data optimization, financial analysis,
Weather forecasting, material design and other fields shine
But its practicalization is a relay race
Many problems remain to be overcome
Quantum computing
I look forward to you running steadily and fast in the future
