People often ask me,
"if the quantum computer is real,
then I could lose my bank password, right?"
"if the quantum computer is real, will Bitcoin
crash?"
When we think of quantum computers,
we only think of these applications:
such as breaking bank passwords or breaking
blockchains,
which still regards quantum computers as a
faster ones,
ignoring the difference between quantum computing
and classical computing in nature.
Ignoring the potential of quantum computing
to change the bottom of our world.
I want you to understand,
the power of classical computing has been
protect
that trust and order in modern society.
What is computing power,
to put it simply, represents
"the amount of time a computer takes to solve
a problem".
For example, if we find that
the enemy has launched a missile,
we need to immediately know where it landed.
If computer A calculates it in one minute,
computer B calculates it in one second.
Then it is obvious that
the computing power of B computer
is stronger than that of A.
Encryption system is the cornerstone of
the good operation of modern economy and society.
After paying a sum of money,
you don't want it to be stolen.
After signing a contract,
you don't want it to be tampered halfway.
For your own medical case,
you certainly don't want it to be made public.
Now the recognized encryption method in the
world
is the safest and most reliable,
not because it is unbreakable.
But because the cracking time is too long,
and let cracking meaningless!
The guarantee of this
is brought about by our understanding of
"the computing power limit of today's classical
computer".
After Alpha Go's first victory over humans,
many people had fears that
AI would put many people out of work.
Now everyone has calmed down and realized
that
"AI is not good enough in many ways."
Why?
AI is exceptionally dependent on numeracy,
if it is not enough,
AI will be slow to come up with a result.
If this calculation is slow,
it will not make much sense to practical application.
But now that quantum computer has appeared,
if the numeracy of electronic computer is
at "gasoline" level,
then quantum computer is at the "nuclear"
level!
These two kinds of computing
are not at the same level at all,
the ability to solve problems is no longer
a simple extension on the original basis.
More importantly,
the equilibrium system now built
based on classical computing will collapse.
This is why many people worry that super companies
such as Google and Microsoft have "Quantum
supremacy".
These super companies are developing quantum
computers.
Once they succeed in developing it first,
they will indeed have a huge advantage,
with the ability to make rules
and knock out low-numeracy competitors.
Because they already realized:
Our world is bound to evolve into
“a new era based on quantum numeracy protection”.
Quantum computing will be
the new cornerstone of this world order!
What we are facing is the transition period
from the old balance to the new balance.
Of course,
I don't think this kind of
arithmetic hegemony of one super company will
happen,
even if it does, it will be temporary.
A technology,
as long as it has advance requirements,
clear scientific principles,
and strong practical demand,
then after successful research and development,
it will not be monopolized by one company,
but blossom everywhere,
flourish every country,
spring up all over the place throughout the
world.
My lecture will make you understand
and see-through the current competition pattern
and development trend.
In the transition between the old and new,
there will undoubtedly be upheavals and opportunities.
The premise that you can see the opportunity
is that you have an insight.
Quantum computing is fun.
To complete the calculation,
we really manipulate the quantum system.
The process of realizing this enlightened
idea
is an outstanding opportunity for us
to deeply understand the nature of computing,
the operation laws of the world,
and innovative research.
