Even though a month had passed since the news of quantum computer technology breakthroughs, Professor Arik from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory still did not give up his original opinion.
It wasn't that he didn't believe in Lu Zhou's ability.
However, he just couldn't imagine that it was possible to achieve more than 100 qubits without mastering quantum storage technology.
Google's approach was now to focus on software, which was the popular quantum annealing algorithm.
However, even the best brains at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory could only come up with an experimental quantum computer of 80-90 qubits.
As for 524…
That was too unrealistic.
He viewed this story as a political scam. After all, in his opinion, this wasn't the first time the idiots in Washington had been blackmailed by a third world country with weird schemes.
