So he decided to save Yu Yongjun's words, and then asked the professor who taught mathematical analysis in the elite class if he thought so.

Well, by the way, who is the professor who teaches mathematical analysis?

Before he could dig out the professor's name from his memory, Yu Wei also asked: "Did the school say when you will graduate with your Ph.D.? What are your plans next?"

"Early next year, I will graduate with my Ph.D. and then return to Yanbei International Mathematics Center as a professor."

Someone asked a serious question, and Qiao Yu answered in a serious manner.

"Can I accept graduate students?"

"Definitely! Let me directly apply for a doctoral supervisorship."

As soon as Qiao Yu sent this sentence, Gong Jiatao immediately inserted a strong sentence: "Father, what do you think of my qualifications? Can I still be in your eyes?"

Qiao Yu replied without thinking: "Well, this guy is extremely shameless and I can't accept him!"

"No, foster father, I know everything!"

"Me too, God Qiao, you forgot, we agreed that I would be your follower for the rest of my life!"

Well, Qiao Yu discovered that shamelessness is contagious, but unfortunately Yu Wei's immunity is too strong.

But now he is too lazy to continue chatting with them in the group. Instead, he considers going to YouTube to see if what those people are arguing is really as exaggerated as Yu Yongjun said.

…

While Qiao Yu was staying in the room bragging wildly with his friends, the approval department within the Ministry of Science and Technology was working overtime and holding a closed-door meeting.

Unsurprisingly, what was being discussed was the project document submitted by Qiao Yu. This time, formal procedures were not followed at all, and the leaders of the competent departments personally reviewed and approved it.

Not only did they do enough homework in advance, but they also brought in experts from other places to conduct research.

In fact, this is not the first time a meeting has been held.

There have been two online seminars before, but this is the first time that experts have been invited to the capital for an offline meeting.

"Experts and our review team, thank you for your hard work. First of all, on behalf of the Ministry of Science and Technology, I would like to thank you all for coming to Beijing to participate in this discussion on electronic computer simulation of quantum computing.

I believe you are almost familiar with it now. After all, we have organized two online meetings, and this time we specially invite you to have in-depth discussions offline.

Qiao Yu The core goal of this project is to use classical computers to simulate quantum computing capabilities, especially to implement the Shor algorithm. I am a layman in terms of technology and will not speak much.

But before everyone speaks, let me first talk about the key points of the discussion at this meeting. We already know the significance and background of this project, and there is no need to repeat it again.

Therefore, please focus your discussion on practical issues related to estimating project feasibility and resource requirements. In addition, this meeting is a confidential meeting, and the content of the meeting is prohibited from being disclosed to outsiders."

After the leader sitting in the main seat finished speaking, he naturally looked at the first old man sitting on the left and said: "Academician Li Zhen, you are an expert in quantum computing. Why don't you start the conversation first?"

Li Zhen nodded, then pushed up his glasses and said, "Then I will express my opinion first."

"After reading Qiao Yu's plan, I have searched for some relevant information these days. At present, there is indeed relevant research on classical computer simulation quantum computing in the world.

Usually technically based on two methods, the first is full-scale simulation of matrix operations. The advantage of this method is that it can accurately simulate quantum states, but the computational resource requirements increase exponentially.

The other is approximate simulation based on tensor network, which has the advantage of reducing computational requirements, but will affect the accuracy of simulation. After reading relevant literature, both technical solutions are immature.

Currently, the world's most advanced quantum computing simulations, such as IBM's Qiskit, Google's Cirq, and QuEST, can already simulate 40-50 qubits.

But the goal of Qiao Yu's project is to achieve efficient simulation of Shor's algorithm, which requires hundreds or even thousands of qubits. It can be said that if successful, this will be a technical miracle.

But how can I put it... I personally think this miracle is not as good as the miracle of the Riemann Hypothesis being suddenly solved. So if I am asked to make a judgment on the feasibility of this project, I think it is feasible."

After saying that, Academician Li Zhen turned off the microphone, leaned back, and stopped talking.

The leader sitting on the main seat nodded and subconsciously glanced at another Academician Zhuo sitting on the right who was obviously planning to speak.

But soon the eyes passed over him, and then stayed on the stenographer in charge of the meeting minutes for half a second. After seeing the stenographer stop writing, he looked at the two engineers sitting on the left under Academician Li Zhen.

"Gaogong Chen and Gaogong Yan, two experts in high-performance computers, what do you think? Can the supercomputing resources and performance we can currently use meet Dr. Qiao's needs?"

The two people whose names were called looked at each other, and then Chen Ming, who was sitting closer to the front, answered the question in a tacit understanding.

"In fact, Dr. Qiao Yu's plan does not have high requirements for supercomputing. Not to mention the performance of our latest supercomputing, even the power of the older generation is more than enough.

Of course, to fully realize Dr. Qiao Yu's requirements, some hardware upgrades may be required. For example, using a new generation of high-speed Internet technology, optimizing communication protocols, and adding some high-bandwidth storage.

And the cooling system may need to be upgraded. Generally speaking, the investment is not large. Of course, if you can directly use a newer generation of supercomputer, the cost will be less. And there are domestic alternatives.

To sum up, if we only discuss the feasibility in terms of resource requirements, we also believe that this project is feasible."

Academician Zhuo, who was sitting opposite Academician Li, glanced at the two engineers with sharp eyes, but still did not speak.

The leader in charge nodded, then looked to the person behind him on the left: "Professor Zhu, you do computational mathematics, what do you think?"

"Actually, my opinion is similar to Academician Li's. Currently, the core of the international mainstream implementation of Shor's algorithm is the quantum Fourier transform. This technology requires only O(n) complexity on a quantum computer.

However, when simulating on a classical computer, the complexity may rise to O(2^n). So to put it bluntly, how to reduce the computational complexity is the key issue.

Therefore, whether the project goal can be achieved actually depends on whether it can solve this global problem. So in the final analysis, this project has nothing to do with hardware, it is a pure mathematical problem.

Since it is a mathematical problem... Well, everyone knows that I am not qualified to evaluate Dr. Qiao Yu's mathematical level. But I have 100% confidence in Dr. Qiao Yu's mathematical ability. So I think Dr. Qiao Yu's project

It’s very feasible.”

…

After more than a dozen experts in this circle had finished speaking, the leader finally turned his attention to Academician Zhuo, who had always wanted to speak.

"Academician Zhuo, you have been doing research on quantum chips and are also an expert in this field. What is your opinion?"

"I don't have any objections." Zhuo Gang shook his head and said simply.

They are not fools, and the attitude of the leaders in charge is obvious.

After asking around, I thought it was feasible, so how could he express his opinion?

His opinion is of course not feasible! This project has been launched, so what kind of quantum chip is needed?

The problem is that he really didn't expect that a group of people would think Qiao Yu's project was feasible. He really didn't see where it would be feasible!

But the most irritating thing is that these people analyzed all the difficulties of this technology in depth and then gave feasible suggestions.

What else could he say? Repeat what these people said about the difficulty, and then say it’s not feasible?

So angry!
Chapter completed!
