Chapter 840: Chapter 309: The Tough Problem Untackled for Over Half a Year—Solved by Yang Chen in One Sentence? (Part 3)

Yang Chen followed Wang Zuoyun to the research institute and met the team leader, Huang Guangxiu.

With Wang Zuoyun’s introduction, Yang Chen and Huang Guangxiu got acquainted.

Huang Guangxiu: "Is Mr. Yang serious about investing in our team?"

Yang Chen: "Yes! I’ll be honest. If possible, I hope Professor Huang can lead the team to join me. The Star Research Base is about to be put into use, and we urgently need professional research teams from various fields to join. No matter how much it costs, I promise to fund the research teams fully."

Huang Guangxiu: "Is the Star Research Base Mr. Yang’s?"

Yang Chen: "Yes! I hold 67% of the shares, and the rest is divided among my friends and the Hai City Government. Of course, if Professor Huang doesn’t wish to join, that’s fine too. I am still willing to fund your research. But, Professor Huang must agree to one condition: once there are research results, they must be handed over to me for commercialization."

Huang Guangxiu was tempted.

Due to limited funds, their research progress was always slow. Sometimes, the lack of key materials stalled the entire team’s research.

Relying solely on his lectures at the Science and Technology University, the money he earned was just a drop in the bucket.

Now a major investor is willing to support their scientific research, of course they should accept!

"Alright! However, our team has approximately 5 million in debt, which Mr. Yang needs to help pay off. Additionally, all researchers’ salaries need to increase by 50% to reach the industry average. Personally, I need an annual salary of 5 million and permission to continue lecturing at the Science and Technology University and participating in other activities, with the earnings belonging entirely to me." Huang Guangxiu laid out his conditions very frankly.

As long as the quantum chip is developed, what does money matter?

Yang Chen nodded with a smile, saying, "No problem! I agree to all of Professor Huang’s conditions! You researchers have worked hard all your lives and indeed deserve high treatment for the future when you retire and enjoy life."

Huang Guangxiu: "Haha... Mr. Yang is straightforward! Then it’s settled. Come, let me introduce you to everyone."

Yang Chen nodded with a smile and followed Huang Guangxiu to the laboratory for a tour.

As soon as the pair reached the lab, they saw a group of people gathered around debating something.

The researchers were focused on their debate and didn’t notice Yang Chen and Huang Guangxiu arriving.

"The problem is quite evident, even simple. We need to find a way to reduce crosstalk between quantum bits."

"That’s easy to say, but what methods can achieve this goal?"

"If this problem is solved, we can apply for a patent. As of now, this research finding has not been publicly disclosed."

...

The problem troubling them was very clear to Yang Chen.

If he showcased a bit of his understanding, would it convince them to follow Huang Guangxiu in joining the Star Research Base?

"Actually, this problem is not that difficult to solve; it just requires a coupler and a controller. The coupler is used to couple the first superconducting qubit circuit and the second superconducting qubit circuit. The frequency response curve of the coupler includes at least one phase inversion point, which includes a resonant point or pole of the frequency response curve. The controller adjusts the frequency response curve of the coupler, so the qubit frequencies between the first and second superconducting qubit circuits contain an odd number of phase inversion points, further adjusting the frequency of the phase inversion points so the cross-resonance effect’s effective interaction between the first and second superconducting qubit circuits is zero. This way, you can achieve the goal of reducing crosstalk between quantum bits." Yang Chen explained.

Everyone looked at Yang Chen with confusion and astonishment.

Huang Guangxiu furrowed his brow, pondering Yang Chen’s approach, and then laughed out loud: "Wow, Mr. Yang is truly remarkable! Listening to you is better than reading ten years of books! We’ve been troubled by this issue for a long time, and over the recent half-year, we’ve specialized in tackling this problem, yet with no success. Unexpectedly, just by hearing the issue, Mr. Yang came up with a solution. Mr. Yang, may I ask what your major was?"

Yang Chen: "I graduated in Marketing from Hai City University of Finance and Economics. However, I am very interested in scientific subjects and have been researching quantum entanglement theory recently. I just casually expressed my understanding earlier. Whether it’s feasible or not, it needs to be validated through experiments."

The researchers, puzzled by Yang Chen’s words, immediately laughed.

"Brother, how can someone with a marketing background understand quantum entanglement!"

"Listening to you mention so many technical terms, I almost believed you really knew what you were talking about."

"We’ve researched this for a long time; the whole team has been tackling it for half a year without solving it. It’s not something you can resolve by learning a bit casually."

...

However, Huang Guangxiu thought differently from the researchers.

He said earnestly, "I’ve thought about it, and theoretically, it’s feasible. Let’s follow Mr. Yang’s idea, conduct experiments, and see the results. Mr. Yang, if you have time, you can observe. Is that alright?"

Yang Chen nodded, saying, "Of course! Work freely; don’t mind me."

Huang Guangxiu immediately gathered all the researchers, discussing the theoretical knowledge before the experiment, then dividing the tasks cooperatively.

Wang Zuoyun looked at Yang Chen with delight, thinking, "This guy is incredible. He can self-learn to such a level. While most men’s hobbies involve fishing and playing games, he’s studying quantum entanglement. That’s fascinating."
