Chinese Scientists Develop Photonic Quantum Analog Computing Chip (sciencemag.org)
hackingbear writes from a report via Xinhua: Chinese scientists demonstrated the first two-dimensional quantum walks of single photons in real spatial space, which may provide a powerful platform to boost analog quantum computing. Scientists at Shanghai Jiaotong University reported in a paper published in the journal Science Advances a three-dimensional photonic chip with a scale up to 49x49 nodes, by using a technique called femtosecond direct writing. Universal quantum computers, under develop by IBM, Google, Alibaba and other American and Chinese rivals, are far from being feasible before error correction and full connections between the increasing numbers of qubits could be realized. In contrast, analog quantum computers, or quantum simulators, can be built in a straightforward way to solve practical problems directly without error correction, and potentially be able to beat the computational power of classical computers in the near future.
Develop? Bullshit. Which country did the Chinese scientists steal this technology from?
that's what we'll name our band
Folks, it's just a matter of time before these Chinese beat us in fields that matter. They already are some of the best in the following fields: -
Computer Science - Our computer innards speak to this
Chemical Engineering - No wonder every home in the USA has something made in China
Energy - They are "up there" when it comes to Solar Energy, Hydro Electricity & Wind turbines
Chemistry - They start Chemistry as early as Middle School
Decision Science - High/fast execution is their MO. talk of building a "sky scrapper" in 19 days!!
Mathematics - This starts with kids as young as those of the kindergarten age
Engineering - Results already speak for themselves: Talk of the largest High Speed rail Network in the world
Materials Science - I bet your smartphone's screen or battery is made in China
Is Corning no longer the obvious best glass?
That's news to me. Janky phones still seem to advertise it (albiet old).
Wow, sent an e-mail as suggested when clicking on "use classic" banner, and got a fast response that addressed my msg
Why Photonic Quantum Analog? Because it *sounds* better!
His ignorance covered the whole earth like a blanket, and there was hardly a hole in it anywhere. - Mark Twain
Not sure what you are talking about. Our computer innards aren't from China and neither are our smartphones or batteries. You must be thinking of Korea or the US.
...imaginary spacial space which is what airlines use for your legroom.
Iâ(TM)m quite sure America can beat China on the fakes:
1. Fake war mongers on WMD, costing trillions
2. Fake credit ratings, costing the whole economy
4. Fake election, sending a clown to the White House
5. Fake patents
Computer Science - Our computer innards speak to this
Process technology: Invented in USA
Fastest microchips: Designed in USA or Israel (with USA-trained engineers.)
Chemical Engineering - No wonder every home in the USA has something made in China
The science is done in European and American universities (and by Corporations directly as well... like 3M or DuPont)
Energy - They are "up there" when it comes to Solar Energy, Hydro Electricity & Wind turbines
They are installing it quickly, but we're inventing it
Decision Science - High/fast execution is their MO. talk of building a "sky scrapper" in 19 days!!
O no! don't scrap the sky!
Engineering - Results already speak for themselves: Talk of the largest High Speed rail Network in the world
Who designed those trains again? Oh yeah, the Japanese.
Materials Science - I bet your smartphone's screen or battery is made in China
And designed in the USA or Europe, then made on contract in China.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
That is one buzzword-intensive abstract. On the other hand, I'd like to find a faux tonic quantum wok at Bed Bath and Beyond One Dimension.
The Russians have won. They have made the world a cesspool of distrust, greed, fear and hate.
They are from somewhere else!
Sent as ripples into the electromagnetic field. No single photon has been harmed in the process.
American circle jerk.
All will be well when Apple releases a quantum photonic analog phone thus proving they invented it.
Of course :-)
It is a well know fact that Apple did indeed invent everything.... all that has been invented or will be invented in the future....
The genereous American Patent office might as well just hand them a universal patent and close up shop :-)
Just wait. We'll figure out if this is another Chinese "invention" powered by ass-blown smoke.
Or, if it's real, just who they've stolen it from.
Chas - The one, the only.
THANK GOD!!!
Photon Torpedoes- If they reverse the polarity of neutrinos in the Photonic Quantum Analog Computing Chip, add some Higgs Bosons, and change Analog to Digital, the chip will produce Photon Torpedoes
Does tinfoil protect against Photon Torpedoes, or do I need to invest in a new hat?
Schroedinger's Brexit: The UK is both in and out of the EU at the same time!
Photonic because everything is better when done with lasers, right? Does you i7 make "pew pew" sounds?
Quantum Not so bad, but add it to computing and the number of people who get it is drastically reduced
Analog computing Because two states are never enough, we need 42
Why do "quantum computing" articles make me feel like they are talking about unobtainium, perpetual motion machines, or androids coming any-decade-now?
E Proelio Veritas.
While I'm wating for the first Photon Torpedoes I already know I really need a Photonic Quantum Analog Computing Chip It'll be in a transparent casing in my laptop so everyone can see it.
High/fast execution is their MO. talk of building a "sky scrapper" in 19 days!!
And perhaps falling down even faster!!
You mean because they are Chinese and therefore not able to create? Let me guess... Only white people are able to create things?
It's not the 80's you fucktard and you (the US) is not the best at everything.
China has been dumping billions into quantom computing and green energy. Of course there are going to be advances.. you racist fuck.
But that list is not a list of fields that the Chinese have beat us, or are close to beating us in.
Computer Science - Our computer innards speak to this
The chance that you're typing this to me on a processor designed in China is very low, and if you are... Well, then you're using an inferior product, currently. The processor, as you know, is the part of a Computer where the Science in Computer Science is applied.
Chemical Engineering - No wonder every home in the USA has something made in China
This one makes me scratch my head... Every home in the USA having something made in China has a lot more to do with their labor costs than their engineering creds, in any field whatsoever.
Energy - They are "up there" when it comes to Solar Energy, Hydro Electricity & Wind turbines
They are indeed! But that's a matter of political will. Our plants are still more advanced.
Chemistry - They start Chemistry as early as Middle School
So do we?
Decision Science - High/fast execution is their MO. talk of building a "sky scrapper" in 19 days!!
Yes, pre-fab skyscraper components are now a thing. If you are a country that specializes in large-scale manufacturing, I expect you to do well here.
Mathematics - This starts with kids as young as those of the kindergarten age
Ok, that's pretty cool. I wouldn't say my mathematics started in earnest until 1st grade.

Back to political willpower, though again- I'm not arguing that they suck, or are not competent engineers- only that your example isn't an example of what you say it is.
Materials Science - I bet your smartphone's screen or battery is made in China
Almost certainly. And engineered and designed in America, Japan, Taiwan, or Korea.
