QR Codes are ubiquitous in daily life for tasks like website redirection, promotional offers, and payments, with reports circulating online claiming 10 billion QR Codes are used worldwide daily, sparking discussions on whether they will run out. However, renowned AI expert Lei Tao, a Wu Wenjun Award winner, dismisses concerns, emphasizing the vast scale and nature of QR Codes making them inexhaustible. QR Codes are geometric patterns storing data symbol information, cleverly encoding text data using binary logic concepts, offering high storage, security, traceability, durability, and low cost. Even if 100 billion QR Codes are used daily, it would take 2.14 x 10^131 years to exhaust them, far beyond the universe's age of 1.37 x 10^10 years, reassuring that QR Codes won't deplete anytime soon. In case of exhaustion, China's quantum technology prowess can facilitate a new, larger identification system.
