When soone jumps out to challenge his authority, he can imdiately catch up.
Luckily, this ti it doesn’t matter.
He also doesn’t think the Quantum Chip about to be released by Microsoft will bring so remarkable change to the world developnt pattern of quantum computing.
It’s a very simple truth.
If it’s really that amazing, when he announced the new developnt of Quantum Simulation Calculation at the conference, it would have imdiately impacted the stock prices of many high-tech companies. Why didn’t they announce it urgently at that ti?
But instead, they talked to him first and only chose to announce it after not being very satisfied, which fell short. This also shows that even Microsoft isn’t so confident about this product.
Therefore, Qiao Yu is too lazy to be like those professors, going to check out those papers published by Microsoft’s scientists in recent years. After all, he’s not interested in hardware research.
But, of course, Qiao Yu has his channels for getting information, such as Peter Schultz.
This German mathematician happens to have cooperation with the Microsoft Research Institute. Although it has nothing to do with the research on Quantum Chips, Qiao Yu feels that these frontier studies are interrelated.
Qiao Yu doesn’t believe Microsoft doesn’t have ideas about using quantum computing for intervening in mathematical theorem proofs.
Fortunately, the timing is still suitable.
Although it’s only seven in the morning in the United States at the ti, the ti zone where Huaxia is located is just about six hours faster. Even considering the Western-specific Sumr Ti, it should be lunchti and break ti in Germany.
Of course, the premise is that Peter Schultz is indeed in Germany.
However, Qiao Yu thinks that such concerns between friends are completely unnecessary, not to ntion that Peter Schultz already treats him as an idol in a subtle way...
An idol doesn’t need to worry about ti differences when dealing with fans, so Qiao Yu imdiately raised his hand and picked up his phone to dial Peter Schultz.
The fact also proved Qiao Yu’s analysis was correct, because Peter Schultz answered his call after only two rings.
This shows that the aloof German mathematician was very happy to receive his call.
"Hi, Qiao, this is the first ti you actively called , I am so honored."
"Haha, Peter, if you say that, I might bother you at any ti in the future! For example, my breakfast ti is usually when you are sleeping soundly."
"Alright, Qiao, what’s up?"
Obviously, Qiao Yu’s joke made Peter Schultz a bit unprepared.
There’s no way, although the ti difference is mutual, he could also find a ti to bother Qiao Yu, but he knows how hard it is to get through Qiao Yu’s phone.
This guy seems to really enjoy enabling the Do Not Disturb mode on his phone, if the timing is not right, even calling through would not disturb Qiao Yu.
"Did you notice the latest news released by Microsoft? They say they’re going to release a brand new Quantum Chip today - Majorana, and say the new technology can revolutionize the world quantum computing pattern, do you know about this new product?"
"Hmm? What makes you suddenly interested in this? Are you planning to venture into hardware?"
"It’s not that I’m interested in hardware; well, you might not know yet, Microsoft took the initiative to talk to about cooperating on Quantum Simulation Calculation. They want to hire as a technical consultant; did you know about that?"
"Uh...kind of." Peter Schultz responded sowhat hesitantly.
Qiao Yu could probably guess the reason.
After all, it’s not only about cooperation; there are also rumors about him...
"The result is we haven’t fully finalized our agreent, and suddenly they announce they’re releasing this product. I think they might be trying to provoke . What do you think? So I wanted to ask, how much do you know about this Quantum Chip?"
"This...well, actually I have many friends at the Berkeley Branch. If you’ve checked your emails... Your proposed condition, honestly, was quite troubleso for Berkeley Branch."
"When was this news from? Peter, your friends didn’t tell you, in light of Berkeley Branch’s response, I have already forgiven them.
And removed that condition from the cooperation requirents. I only asked them to recover the benefits given to Professor Frank over these years. This demand is not too much, right?
Besides, the reason I didn’t reach an agreent with Microsoft wasn’t because of this issue, but due to other things. Peter, in your eyes, do I seem like soone who likes to vent anger on others?"
"Ah? Okay...About this matter, I apologize. In fact, that Professor Frank, who is your...oh, forget it. I don’t know much about Majorana either.
But as far as I know, this chip is mainly used in the laboratory for doing so AI coordinative work. Including when we were doing Condensed State Mathematics research, we also tested using this chip for so mathematical verification work.
By the way, this includes dealing with the optimization problem of high-dinsional space in the Generalized Modal Axiomatic System. Moreover, currently the major application of Majorana is in this area. You should know better than , without corresponding algorithms for the ecosystem, there aren’t many things a Quantum Chip can do at the mont.
However, in terms of vision planning, there are still plenty of applications. The laboratory is also trying to rely on Majorana to generate various synthetic data, as well as attempting true randomness training and training complex AI models.
Of course, all I’ve ntioned are actually still in the research stage; in fact, including when we were using it, there are still many technical obstacles. For instance, there are often mory overflow, resource limit exceedance, and algorithm incompatibility situations occurring.
However, Majorana indeed has relatively superior aspects. At least in overcoming the defect of decoherence, this chip is absolutely the most excellent. Of course, if we don’t consider that currently this chip only integrates eight Quantum Bits."
Peter Schultz revealed everything he knew about the chip without reservation.
This efficiency is evidently much higher than professors going to find the papers Microsoft published in the past, also allowing Qiao Yu to quickly grasp the key points.
"You an currently, this chip is actually not very useful, right? At least in current comrcial scenarios, it doesn’t have much use, and compared to Google’s technology, it’s not much more advanced.
So Microsoft released this chip at this ti is to provoke my authority in the field of quantum computing, correct?"
Obviously, Peter Schultz once again failed to keep up with Qiao Yu’s thinking pattern.
His intention seed to be to express that although this generation of Quantum Chips from Microsoft represents the newest technological direction, it won’t pose a threat to Qiao Yu’s Quantum Simulation Calculation for now.
But Qiao Yu understood a completely different layer of aning...
Alright, for Peter Schultz, Microsoft is after all a cooperation partner...
After a mont of silence, Peter Schultz couldn’t help but ask: "Qiao Yu, I don’t understand you anymore. What exactly do you want?
If it’s money, I reckon Microsoft would be very generous to you; if it’s power? I think chasing those at your age is still too early...
If it’s academic glory, there’s no need at all, Microsoft is not an academic institution and doesn’t need to prove itself through academic achievents. In fact, I believe you know these better than anyone.
If it’s because of your family matters, you’ve already chosen to stop troubling Berkeley Branch, which equals that this matter is already over. So I’m really curious, Qiao Yu..."
Saying this, Peter Schultz intensified his tone, asking again: "What do you really want?"
Peter Schultz felt this was not just his confusion, he thinks Qiao Yu might not have thought through this question himself.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t always have so many ssy ideas.
But evidently he made a wrong judgnt, because Qiao Yu’s answer was simple, direct, and justifiable: "Is there even a need to ask? What I want is respect!"
After speaking, seemingly to take care of Peter Schultz’s feelings, Qiao Yu seriously explained: "Peter, you grew up in a normal family, so you definitely don’t understand the thoughts in the mind of a kid growing up in a single-parent family like .
Sensitive, fragile, suspicious, even inferiority, paranoia... etc., all these stereotypes about kids from single-parent families are true. Therefore, I care about self-respect far more than ordinary people, can you understand ?"
