Kapitel 1179: Five Hundred Qubits!

After leaving the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, Academician Liu felt dizzy, like he was dreaming.

After performing the demonstration, Lu Zhou explained the application of topological quantum theory in insulators to the experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He also explained how he used basic carbon-based integration circuit components and the Josephson effect to create Majorana fermions.

Basically, it was quite difficult to understand the complicated physics and mathematics formulas behind his research.

Fortunately, even though 70% of the research was theoretical, there was a real-life demonstration with the calculator.

After Academician Liu listened to this extraordinary lecture, he felt like his entire worldview had changed.

It took less than 1 second to factorize a 1,024-bit prime number. This meant the calculator in his hand had at least 500 qubits.
