【 Honeywell has developed the world's fastest quantum computer H0】
Last week, technology giant Honeywell said that the company currently owns the world's fastest quantum computer H0, which scores 64 in the measurement of quantum volume. This test not only measures the total number of qubits of the machine (the basic element of processing data in a quantum computer) but also measures the use of these qubits by machines. This result is much higher than the 32.
obtained by IBM's quantum computer Raleigh in January. This means that Honeywell began to fulfill his promise in March to increase its quantum computing power by 10 times each year in the next five years.
[Researchers use wood to develop flexible electronic components]
University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers are using wood to make flexible microwave circuits in electronic devices to develop flexible electronic products.
The team's goal is to integrate microwave components into semiconductor chips or print them on circuit boards. The researchers used cellulose nanofibrillary paper as the substrate for the amplifier. Paper can be made by breaking down wood fibers into nanoscale fibres and then recombining them to produce a strong, flexible, transparent and biodegradable film. Instead of using gallium nitride to cover the wood substrate, the researchers used only spots of this compound. They use tiny beads made from expensive substances, i.e. 500 microns by 500 microns, and the rest is wood. Compared to gallium nitride, wood costs almost zero. The end result is that the amplifier works very well. ”

[The last satellite of Beidou Navigation Global Network was successfully launched, and GPS was replaced in progress]
At around 9:43 on June 23, the 55th Beidou Navigation Satellite developed by the Fifth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation was successfully launched on the Xichang Satellite Launch Center.
This satellite is the Earth stationary orbit satellite , about 36,000 kilometers away from the ground. In addition to usually sending navigation signals, the satellite will also provide two-way short message communication services. This is also the last global networking satellite of Beidou-3 . At this point, the Beidou-3 global satellite navigation system constellation deployment has been fully completed, and will provide the world with positioning navigation timing and other services in the future.
After the deployment of the Beidou-3 global satellite navigation system constellation, it has become the third mature satellite navigation system after the US GPS system and the Russian GLONASS (GLONASS) system.
【 Panasonic will increase production of 5G electronic components materials in mainland China】
Panasonic will increase production of electronic components materials for the new generation of communication standard 5G in mainland China. It is planned to start adding production equipment at the Guangzhou factory in June and put into production in the fall of 2021. The investment amount is about 8 billion yen. The company plans to increase its capacity to 1.5 times. What is preparing to increase production is a sheet and adhesive sheet with copper foil attached to the surface of special resin materials, both of which are materials of printed circuit boards. These materials have the characteristics of making the high-frequency band radio waves used in 5G less likely to be weakened. It is expected to be mainly used to meet the needs of antennas, servers and routers of 5G base stations.
【NVIDIA cooperates with Mercedes-Benz to build an autonomous driving system, and will be put into use in 2024】
Mercedes-Benz announced that it would end its cooperation with German comrade BMW, and will form an alliance with NVIDIA, and will use NVIDIA's Drive technology as the basis for autonomous driving technology for future models. It is expected that from 2024, NVIDIA's new system and architecture will be used on all next-generation models of Mercedes-Benz, making it upgradeable autonomous driving functions.
The new platform will be based on Nvidia's system-on-chip Orin technology, and will also use the company's complete Drive AGX software stack based on San Jose. Nvidia first showed off Orin at CES in December 2019, and the company has not provided any further details yet, besides top-notch specs, such as the ability to do 200 trillion operations per second while using less power.
