Chapter 1191 Three-Dimensional Cavity with Multi-Mode Structure (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival~)

Stepped into the laboratory.

Academician Xue looked around nervously.

On the one hand, I was nervous because I was curious, and on the other hand, I was worried that I saw something I shouldn't see.

As if seeing through his worries, Lu Zhou said in a relaxed tone while leading him into the laboratory.

"Don't be so nervous, since you are the relevant person, even if you see these things, it's nothing."

It would be a different matter if it was the laboratory on the third basement floor, but it doesn't matter here. Since he moved these things to the surface, it means that even if they are seen by others, it will not cause any serious problems.

After hearing Lu Zhou's words, Academician Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his face regained his calm expression. He was no longer restrained, and began to look at the layout of the laboratory curiously.

This is different from most of the laboratories he has seen. It can even be said that compared to a laboratory, it is more like a workshop with a simple structure.

Looking at the wardrobe-like device connected to the computer closest to him, Academician Xue asked casually.

"This is?"

"The laser fusion 3D printing system...is mainly used to process some metal and plastic components I need. After all, it is very troublesome to find a cooperative manufacturer to order, and I don't really want to waste time waiting."

Academician Xue said in surprise.

"You still operate this thing?"

Lu Zhou explained casually.

"In a sense, it's voice-activated ... thanks to our artificial intelligence technology."

Hearing this explanation, Academician Xue subconsciously opened his mouth.

Voice control?

artificial intelligence?

How is this thing voice-controlled and intelligent?

He can understand automatic modeling, but how can AI understand what kind of model the user needs in just a few words? Is this a problem that can be solved by pure artificial intelligence or fuzzy calculation?

However, he is not an expert in this field after all, and he has no right to speak if he does not understand, so he did not dwell on this issue, but looked at another device that he did not understand the purpose of.

"Then... what about that?" Academician Xue continued to ask, pointing to the silver-white metal tube that traversed the entire laboratory, "What is that thing for?"

"Multi-line single-photon channel... This is what I want to show you," Lu Zhou walked to the middle of the metal tube, picked up the gloves from the experimental table next to him, and carefully picked up the gloves from a low-temperature inert In the gas protection box, a cylindrical structure covered by a titanium alloy bracket was taken out.

In the section of the cylinder, honeycomb-shaped openings can be seen, while in the central part of the cylinder, it is composed of frosted glass-like translucent vessels.

Looking at the puzzling things that popped up one after another, Academician Xue felt like a primitive person.

Although he didn't want to say why these three words again, but Naihe really couldn't understand, and finally he opened his mouth without disappointment.

"What is this?"

"A three-dimensional cavity with a multi-mode structure. The main material is an alloy composed of ytterbium, molybdenum and other materials. It can satisfy all our fantasies about the quantum world..." It seems that this sentence is not accurate enough, After thinking for a moment, Lu Zhou corrected and said, "At least the fantasy at this stage."

Academician Xue opened his mouth a little dumbly.

Everything in front of him somewhat exceeded his expectations.

His intuition told him that the power of the thing in front of him might be beyond his imagination, but for a while he couldn't tell where this almost magical magical appeal came from.

so that...

For a moment, he even forgot his original purpose of coming here.

"I know you have a lot of questions to ask, and I will talk to you about your confusion later."

As if seeing through the surprise and thirst for knowledge on the old man's face, Lu Zhouxiang nodded slightly, then turned around and carefully placed this mysterious cylinder in the opening, which was almost 100% consistent. on the groove.

Seeing the cylinder falling at a constant speed under the pull of gravity, Lu Zhou took two steps back and stood next to a computer with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Simply perfect!"

Academician Xue: "...I don't quite understand."

"In short, this is a quantum entanglement amplifier. You can understand it as a magnifying glass. But what it enhances is not light, but something more microscopic than light."

The expression on Academician Xue's face was slightly moved, and a crazy possibility popped up in his mind.

"...single photon?"

"Correct...but not quite, exactly entangled photon pairs."

As he said that, Lu Zhou snapped his fingers, as if he heard some kind of order, the signal lights on the chassis behind him lit up one after another, and the two ends of the silver-white metal tube in front of him also hummed slightly .

Not realizing how shocking the scene in front of him was to the person next to him, Lu Zhou continued to explain.

"...by placing this three-dimensional cavity with a multimode structure in a special magnetic field, the free ytterbium atoms in the alloy will enter an extremely insensitive state, thereby isolating the interference in the environment and capturing the photons, synchronize them, then pass the entangled state to the next repeater through the new single-photon emitter, and repeat the process.”

Academician Xue's eyes widened for a moment.

"This, could it be!"

"It seems that you have already guessed it," Lu Zhou smiled and nodded, "Quantum communication."

While talking, the preparation process for the experiment has been completed.

64 pairs of photons are emitted from the A port, and are amplified by the repeater while passing through the quantum repeater in the middle of the pipeline, and continue to be transmitted to the next channel, and finally received by the receiver at the B port.

Looking at the numbers fed back on the screen, a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Zhou's mouth.

64 photon pairs!

Accept all!

There is no doubt that his experiment has been successful!

Staring dumbfounded at what happened in front of him, Academician Xue, who was standing in the center of the laboratory, gradually recovered from his astonishment until Lu Zhou recorded the data into the database.

"It has ended?"

Lu Zhou, standing in front of the computer, replied casually.

"It's over, the experiment was a success."

Academician Xue: "...Why are you showing me this?"

Undoubtedly, what he saw in front of his eyes was probably more confidential than the quantum encryption algorithm.

He really couldn't understand why Lu Zhou showed these things to himself.

"Because it's not perfect, I only solved part of the problem, but there are still some problems that I'm not good at..." Lu Zhou glanced at the wall clock on the wall, suddenly smiled and said, " Now that the experiment is over, we might as well talk in another place."

As he said that, Lu Zhou reached out and tapped a few buttons on the keyboard, waited for the device to completely shut down, and then pressed the power button next to the case.

After finishing these things, he turned his attention back to Academician Xue and extended an invitation.

"Go to my office."

"We can have a drink and talk about these interesting issues."

I wish my lovely book friends a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, and may the sweet mooncakes bring you good luck throughout the year~
