China just shattered a world record in quantum computing that required them to humiliate the world's greatest supercomputer, which happens to be in our country. The implications are even bigger than they seem, and I'm going to explain to you how they did it and what it all means. I'm Gigachena. I invest into business in China, and it never ceases to amaze me how news like this doesn't make it to the US, so I'm going to tell you. If you've been following me, you might know about the Tio Zhang series of quantum computers, but 4.0 is a paradigm shift. The name comes from Tio Zhang Suo, which means the nine chapters on the art of mathematics. It's an ancient text from around 200 BC, and it covers linear equations, geometry, and what we now call Gaussian elimination. The name is deliberate. They're basically saying we've been doing advanced math for 2,200 years, and we're still the chance. And the Tio Zhang series of quantum computers isn't necessarily new. They've been doing that for six years, but note something at the bottom. Talk about a leap. And if about 3,000 photons doesn't sound like much to you, you should know that the Hilbert space dimension is about 10 to the 2,460 first. A number so large that it defies physical analogy. And we're just getting started here. You've probably heard of Google and IBM's quantum computers, but those use superconducting qubits, specifically Transmon qubits. Transmon is a portmanteau of transmission line and Plasmon qubits. It's beyond the…
