Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of clues about the past. CTOnews.com, June 22 (Xinhua) according to a report in Taiwan's Economic Daily, Liu Yangwei, chairman of Hon Hai Group, delivered a special speech at a conference a few days ago, introducing the characteristics and application fields of quantum technology, and revealing Hon Hai's quantum computer research and development plans. He said that Hon Hai hopes to launch a 10-bit quantum computer in 2025 and provide 10-bit quantum computing power to the outside world through the cloud. It has developed into four major fields, such as "quantum computing", "quantum communication", "quantum sensing" and "quantum simulation".

Talking about what quantum computing is, Liu Yangwei pointed out that quantum computing has two major characteristics: "superposition" and "entanglement." The first is "superposition". In the past, the traditional computer calculation method was either 0 or 1, but the quantum could be 0 and 1 at the same time, which Einstein thought was impossible. "entanglement" is the relationship between qubits, just like the telepathy of twins, even if something goes wrong at a great distance, the other will feel that no matter how far away the two quanta are, they will have the super-distance phenomenon of sensing each other. These two characteristics make quantum science and technology have great advantages in four fields, such as quantum computing, quantum communication, quantum sensing and quantum simulation.

He illustrates, for example, that it may take 1 billion years for a traditional computer to decompose a large number, while a quantum computer can complete it in only eight hours. This is because quantum computers can take advantage of the superposition feature and process 2048 bits of data at the same time, rather than one bit at a time, as traditional computers do. This has a great impact on cryptography and information security, because existing cryptographic systems will soon be cracked.

In addition, quantum simulation is also a promising field. Liu Yangwei said that for example, a lithium-ion battery with 76 electrons needs a storage space of 10 to the 10th power of TB to simulate their behavior with a traditional computer, while a quantum computer simulation requires only 76 bits. This is of great help to pharmaceutical development or finding the best path, such as the research and development of electric vehicles.

Liu Yangwei stressed that any substance with switching characteristics can be used to make traditional computers; similarly, any substance with superposition and entanglement properties can be used to make quantum computers. At present, some people use photons, diamonds and other substances to make quantum computers, but it has not been determined which material is the most suitable. He said Hon Hai is making every effort to develop quantum computers, with the goal of launching a 10-bit quantum computer by 2025 and providing 10-bit quantum computing power to the outside world through the cloud.

CTOnews.com noted that Liu Yangwei also said that it is too early to talk about the commercial application of quantum technology and requires the joint efforts of all relevant industries.
