However, for the tech aristocrats who have risen in this new century, today’s ssage is clearly not good news.
For instance, Sundar Pichai.
The CEO of Alphabet, has been at the helm of the vast Alphabet for a full seven years since he took over Larry’s position in 2019.
Many people may not be familiar with Alphabet, but if you ntion Google, the tech industry’s troublemaker, it’s undoubtedly well-known.
Yes, AIphabet is the parent company of Google.
At this ti, Sundar Pichai had just been awoken by Google’s Senior Vice President, Thomas Curian.
It turned out that John Martinis, the head of the Google Quantum AI team managed by Thomas, had just reported a piece of unexpected news - the Huaxia Qiao Yu team might have developed a technology to replace quantum computing, and it seed quite mature...
Obviously, this is not good news for Google.
After all, Google has invested a lot in quantum computers, with investnts totaling five to six billion US dollars!
Of course, until today, these massive investnts seed extrely valuable. Once quantum computers are successfully developed, they will dominate many complex computational fields compared to today’s classical electronic computers.
Once soone takes the lead in developing universal quantum computing technology, in so sense, Google will beco the true overlord of internet technology.
Microsoft, IBM, Apple... or those so-called high-tech companies in other countries, would all have to pay protection fees to Google.
Even the giants of Wall Street would have to bow their lofty heads before Google.
After all, modern finance is inseparable from the internet, and the confidence in internet finance is built upon a sufficiently secure foundation.
At the very least, once they master mature quantum computing technology, it ans they can control the security of mainstream internet encryption thods. When they hold the sharpest spear in the world, it also ans they will possess the sharpest shield in the world.
In so sense, Google and Qiao Yu think quite similarly.
The only difference is that although they are far ahead in quantum hardware technology, capable of kicking Microsoft and punching IBM, suddenly soone has used a thod they cannot comprehend to surpass them.
"What did you say? The Huaxia Qiao Yu team was able to simulate quantum computing using just the computing resources of a small computer room? And the efficiency is very high? Far surpassing our technology?"
"Yes, Mr. Pichai, that’s the information we have right now. They calculated two new rsenne pris in a very short ti and announced it publicly in a report that just concluded."
"Is there a possibility that this is fake news? For instance, they used a supercomputer, calculated over a long ti, and then chose this mont to announce it?"
"I asked about that too. But John wasn’t on site. He’s still in contact with the mathematicians attending that report in Huaxia, trying to confirm this. However, to be honest, based on the information I’ve obtained from other channels, this is most likely true!"
"But we’ve never received any intelligence on this. As far as I know, even in simulated quantum computation, we maintained a leading edge!"
Sundar Pichai’s words left Thomas Curian silent for a long ti...
Just as Sundar was about to suspect if there was a problem with the signal, the voice of the company’s Senior Vice President finally ca back.
"You are right. But often, the lack of information itself is a form of information. Theoretical breakthroughs sotis defy logic, especially when we are still using the old generation of theories!"
