Chapter 331 This scene is somewhat familiar
The award ceremony is over, and there are four days of exchange meetings ahead.
Xu Qingzhou's report was scheduled for the morning of the first day. For someone like him who gives reports every day, it was completed smoothly without any pressure.
In the following time, he basically visited various exchange meetings, mainly in the field of mathematics. Sometimes he also went to listen to reports on chemistry. At this kind of world-class academic conference, what everyone presented was basically cutting-edge. thing.
For example, John F. Hartwig, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, shared his team’s selective catalytic functionalization of C-H and C=C bonds, which is completely unfamiliar to Xu Qingzhou.
Of course, I also participated in two exchange meetings on physics. One was about the research on correcting the aberration of electron microscopes, which allows scientists to observe atoms at the picometer scale. If it is completed completely, it will definitely be revolutionary for materials science. The impact of neutrino oscillation is another.
Their discovery shows that they can transform into different species in space, helping to understand the properties of neutrinos and the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe.
In addition to attending academic conferences, I also wandered around the city in my free time to experience foreign culture. My life was quite fulfilling.
February 22nd.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon local time, Xu Qingzhou finished his calculations and came out of the room with a notebook and manuscript paper. Half an hour later, Serge Arroche gave a lecture on the basic problem of non-locality in quantum physics.
To be honest, Xu Qingzhou is very familiar with this thing, and can even proudly say: "No one in this world understands these contents better than me."
There are many people in the lecture theater.
Professor Arosh was already preparing on the stage. Seeing Xu Qingzhou come in, he smiled and nodded. Xu Qingzhou also nodded in response and immediately planned to find an empty seat.
Mia looked at the seat next to her and motioned for Xu Qingzhou to sit down.
Xu Qingzhou walked over, sat down, and said "Good afternoon."
"Mr. Xu, you seem to be very interested in physics. Why don't you engage in physics research?"
Xu Qingzhou opened the manuscript and wanted to continue the calculation just now. At the same time, he said seriously: "Maybe, I like to challenge something that makes me feel more difficult."
Mia paused and stared at Xu Qingzhou with her blue eyes, "It seems that not everyone in Xia is very humble."
Xu Qingzhou shrugged and quickly focused on the calculation at hand.
Seeing that Xu Qingzhou was very busy, Mia didn't bother him.
The lecture theater is already full.
Xu Qingzhou also saw many scholars in the field of mathematics coming to listen to the lecture. This is normal. Many scholars are studying mathematics and physics, but they just focus on a certain field.
The reason why he looked at was because the "old acquaintances" came, and Professor Agill and Indian brother were there.
At the same time, Samit also noticed Xu Qingzhou sitting on the right.
The research topic on the local smoothness conjecture has been passed. This time, the results must be produced before Xu Qingzhou.
The war has begun
His fighting expression made Xu Qingzhou a little confused. He thought to himself that he was just listening to a lecture. Why are you so passionate?
At 2:30 pm, the report meeting officially started.
"Good afternoon, gentlemen and ladies."
Professor Arosh simply said hello and went directly to the topic, "Nonlocality in quantum physics is a confusing and fascinating concept."
"It shows that even when there is spatial separation between separate physical systems, there may still be some form of correlation between quantum objects. This correlation appears to violate the locality principle of classical physics."
Although Xu Qingzhou understood everything, he still listened carefully to show respect for the old gentleman.
In classical physics, it is believed that the interactions between physical systems are limited in space, but non-locality means that the measurement results of certain physical quantities have nothing to do with the order of space or time, presenting a framework that transcends the classical peculiar properties.
The experimental verification of Bell's inequality he conducted revealed the non-local correlation in the quantum entanglement phenomenon.
Bell's inequality is no less important than basic quantum principles such as the Born interpretation and the uncertainty principle, and it can be recognized in human epistemology.
It's a pity that Johnbell passed away in the early 1990s, otherwise he would have received the Nobel Prize. Xu Qingzhou shook his head and regretted that in 2022, a series of optical experiments proved that Bell's inequality was indeed violated, thereby denying Einstein's local realism.
Their subsequent experiments are verification of more detailed content.
For example, some physicists believe that "measurement collapse" caused by measurement may limit the speed of information transfer, while others believe that quantum nonlocality does not actually violate the laws of physics, but reveals a way beyond our current understanding of the universe. new phenomena to understand.
Half an hour later, many dense and complicated formulas appeared on the blackboard.
The manuscript paper in front of Xu Qingzhou is also full of calculations.
Although many of the contents are familiar, many places still require detailed calculations.
Next door, Mia was a little confused.
From Professor Arosh's lecture to now, she has taken down more than ten pages of notes, but Xu Qingzhou beside her didn't even take down a word. He just listened quietly, and occasionally picked up a pen to do calculations along with it.
What Professor Arosh talks about is the most cutting-edge knowledge at the moment.
He obviously only regarded physics as a hobby and had no intention of studying it in depth.
Mia said in her heart.
After thinking about it, she felt a pang of regret in her heart. If he studied physics seriously, he might be able to win the pearl that countless people yearned for - the Nobel Prize in Physics.
After all, he had a chance.
According to statistics, about one-third of Wolf Prize winners eventually win the Nobel Prize, so the Wolf Prize is also called the "Nobel Prize bellwether."
Mia quickly put aside the distracting thoughts. At this time, Professor Arosh had entered the calculation stage of measuring behavior.
Time passed by every minute.
At 3:20 pm, Professor Arosh stopped, "Regrettably, as I said just now, our thinking currently encounters many problems. Therefore, we have deliberately set aside 30 minutes for discussion."
Professor Arosh looked at the audience.
There were whispers in the lecture hall, but no one stood up for a while. Professor Arosh is the most cutting-edge scholar studying this issue. Even he has been stuck after studying it for so long. How can they easily find new ideas? ideas.
Moreover, although it is impossible to continue the deduction, Professor Arosh's calculation is already perfect.
There is nothing wrong with the previous content, whether it is logic or mathematical calculations. This is normal. Everyone knows that Professor Arosh has an incredible mathematics team behind him.
Mia was deep in thought, considering several questions raised by Professor Arosh, and looked at Xu Qingzhou who was standing aside.
Unlike other people who were discussing in low voices or thinking with frowns, Xu Qingzhou had a calm expression and didn't seem to be thinking about anything at all.
He might have given up thinking. After all, he just made some calculations and obviously had no intention of continuing the research.
Mia thought, turned her head, looked at her notebook again, and thought about the feasibility of solving the non-local problem.
"Oh? Mr. Xu, please tell me what you think."
Professor Arosh's voice sounded in the lecture theater.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then raised their heads and followed Professor Arosh's gaze, their expressions froze involuntarily.
Samit suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. When he saw the face in the corner, the corners of his mouth twitched and he was even a little dazed. He always felt that this situation seemed familiar.
