Chinese scientists successfully detect mysterious particle
Date: June 22, 2016

An academic paper published by the Physical Review Letters on Tuesday claims Chinese scientists have discovered the mysterious particle, Majorana fermion, in their experiment.

As a step toward the application of the quantum computing, the group of scientists based at Shanghai Jiao Tong University have made great efforts on the research of the Majorana fermion since 2009. After seven years, they finally detected the Majorana zero mode which could be treated as an indication of finding the corresponding particle.

"We first prepared and made a kind of topological superconductive material. With a series of experiments, we have confirmed the condition where the Majorana fermion could exist. Under such condition, we probed into its (Majorana fermion's) spinning property, in other words, the property of magnetism. It (Majorana fermion) passed the magnetic test and we have witnessed its magnetic property and in turn, proved its existence," said Jia Jinfeng, professor of Department of Physics and Astronomy within Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

In addition to the finding of the particle, Chinese scientists have also figured out the effective way of regulating and controlling the Majorana fermion – a significant step toward its application on the quantum computing.


"With regard to the quantum computing, I will give an example to show its advantage. If we have a subject that needs calculation, the classical calculation will take 150,000 years, whereas the quantum computing will finish the calculation within one second, million times faster. And its (quantum computing's) capability is million times of our current supercomputers of Tianhe and Sunway-TaihuLight," said Wang Xi, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and researcher of Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology within the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The existence of the Majorana fermion was predicted by the Italian physicist Ettore Majorana in 1937. Since then, physicists have followed Majorana's step of finding the particles for nearly 80 years.

Many thanks. :-)

Chinese scientists make breakthrough in quantum teleportation

5 hours ago

Researchers at China's University of Science and Technology have made a breakthrough in the technology of quantum fingerprint identification, with cooperative inputs from both home and abroad.

The journal Physical Review Letters has pronounced their attainment, which proves to the unconditional safety and security of quantum teleportation and to the potential of enhancing its communication route. The journal has appreciated the Chinese experiment as a significant application of quantum information outside the aspect of quantum key distribution.

The website of the European Physical Society has cited a quantum teleportation specialist as describing the Chinese breakthrough as having widened the horizon for more applications of the quantum teleportation technology.

Theorized in 2001, experiments on quantum fingerprint identification have been confined to limitation of technology and equipment. Chinese researchers, led by Academician Pan Jianwei, have ventured off with their single photon detector and a 20-kilometer optic fiber link-up. Pan's team has achieved data transmission which is 84 percent less than digital communications. The Chinese attainment on quantum fingerprint identification has surpassed both the transmission rate and capacity of digital communications.

Pan is the winner of the 2012 International Quantum Teleportation Award.

Quantum fingerprint identification is key to securing data transmission through quantum teleportation and to enhancing the capacity of the communication route.

I also read that the dark matter detector in Space is getting good data, and will reveal its data soon. The Chinese scientist said that the data will be "mark in science's history."

Let's see.
 
Made an account just to write this post. While everyone are right to be proud of this supercomputer(me included) there's few problems that I hope it gets addressed in the future.
1. inadequate memory: Tianhe-2 have 88GB or RAM per node at just over two TFLOP/s while the sunway have only 32GB per node that runs at 3TFLOP/s.
2. Memory isn't particularly fast either at 136.5GB/s which could be a issues since the CPU already lacks on board cache.
3. There also a mention of inefficient interconnect, didn't dig too much into that so I won't comment.

The above problem resulted in a pretty abysmal HPCG benchmark of 0.371PFLOP/s compared to Tianhe-2's 0.580PFLOP/s.

Don't flame me for pointing out the negatives, always look forward to what my home country can come up with next :)

Whoever can control quantum will become god in computations.

Thank you, I guess you may be involving in the field.

You have ignored other prefecture-level cities in the region!
Jiaxing, Huzhou, Changzhou, Shaoxing, Zhenjiang!

Except for Ningbo, I had been to all those big cities.
6 years ago in Autumn, toured to Hangzhou. West lake and Alibaba headquarter.

For a large potion of Indians, "plan" = "done"; "schedule put on power point" = "reality that has been achieved".

This post cracked me up.......I won't interfere in this thread since i don't know about computers and stuff related to it. But the way one Indian member is bringing his own rude and self praising attitude makes me sick. I mean, you just can't wish good luck to your neighbor if he achieves success without bragging your own one's???

This indian member should look at his Tejas fighter jet, despite so much funds and decades spent on it, it still doesn't get operational clearance.

Little decency and humble attitude won't cost you dollars........
