From university academician to chief academician

Chapter 255: Abandon the Nobel Prize-winning research

With the support of a large amount of literature, Ye Fei led the people at the Academy of Sciences to study the theoretical part of quantum computers at a very gratifying speed.

Ye Fei divided everyone into four groups, and each group completed at least one-fifth of the research progress.

At this research speed, Ye Fei is confident that he can complete theoretical research by the end of 2033, complete applied research by 2034, and develop a quantum computer by 2035.

Jinling, Academy of Sciences, a classroom-like place, Ye Fei sat by the window, with a piece of paper written with many formulas in front of him.

Ye Feixin said: "The theoretical part of quantum computers is divided into four parts, namely qubits, state superposition principle, quantum entanglement and quantum parallelism principle."

"The principle of quantum parallelism is the most important of the four major theories."

"But the other three, each one is very difficult."

"Qubits are quantum states, and quantum states are divided into pure states and mixed states."

"I have studied this before when I was studying Hilbert space."

Ye Fei looked at the formula on the paper: "After calculation, the control of the quantum state should be controlled by quantum particles."

"So, controlling quantum particles is controlling quantum states."

After Ye Fei thought for a long time, he said: "We should find a place to conduct experiments!"

Three days later, Ye Fei came to the National Quantum Research Center in Kyoto!

"Hello, Academician Ye!" The director of the research center greeted Ye Fei warmly at the gate.

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Hello, Director Ma, I'm sorry to trouble you this time."

"Haha..." Director Ma smiled and said: "We are all doing things for the country. If there is any trouble, don't bother me. Academician Ye, this is Academician Yang."

Ye Fei looked at a middle-aged man wearing thick glasses next to Director Ma and said with a smile: "Hello, Academician Yang!"

"Hello, Academician Ye!" Academician Yang didn't seem to smile often. When he saw Ye Fei's outstretched hand, a dry smile appeared on his face, and then he shook hands with Ye Fei.

Director Ma smiled and said: "Academician Ye, let's go in!"

Ye Fei nodded and said, "Okay!"

Walking into the National Quantum Research Center, Director Ma asked: "Academician Ye, let me take you to see the particle accelerator first!"

"good!"

After a while, they arrived at the 20th floor underground!

In front of them was a machine that was three stories high.

Ye Fei and three others stood in front of this huge machine, looking up at the machine in front of them.

Director Ma said: "Academician Ye, this is a small particle accelerator."

Particle accelerators, also called particle beam fusion accelerators, use electric fields to push charged particles to obtain high energy.

Particle accelerators are classified into small, medium and large.

The working principle between them is the same.

The only difference is that the energy they can carry is different. Small particle accelerators can carry the least energy, and large particle accelerators can carry the most energy.

Of course, depending on the carrying energy, the depth of the scientific research fields that can be explored will be different.

Director Ma said: "I heard that you want to study qubits. You should go to the High Energy Physics Laboratory of the Academy of Sciences to use the medium-sized particle accelerator."

Xia State does not have a large particle accelerator, the largest one only has a medium-sized particle accelerator.

The world's largest large-scale particle accelerator is at the European Quantum Research Center.

At the European Quantum Research Center, there are not only large particle accelerators, but also large quantum collider, large hadron collider, large electron linear collider, large electron-proton collider, and large proton-antiproton collider. , Large Proton-Proton Collider, Large Electron-Positron Collider and Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.

All these machines are used by 34 countries around the world, and Xia Guo is one of them.

Ye Fei shook his head and said: "No, for my research, a small particle accelerator is enough, the medium one is a bit wasteful."

Ye Fei used the particle accelerator to see if he could capture the movement trajectory of the particle accelerator and control the movement trajectory of the particles.

Small particle accelerators move fewer particles and move slower.

If particles accelerated by small accelerators cannot be controlled, let alone particles controlled by medium-sized particle accelerators and large particle accelerators.

Besides, Ye Fei just wanted to test his idea.

Therefore, using small, medium and large particle accelerators has the same effect.

Director Ma and Academician Yang looked at Ye Fei strangely. They still didn't know what experiment Ye Fei was going to do.

Director Ma said: "Academician Ye, you've finished reading. How about we go take a rest and start working again tomorrow."

Ye Fei raised his wrist to look at the time and smiled: "No, it's only two o'clock in the afternoon. I think we should start working now!"

Director Ma said helplessly: "Okay!"

After speaking, Director Ma looked at Academician Yang and said, "Academician Yang, I'll leave it to you."

"Don't worry!" Academician Yang said.

After Director Ma left, Academician Yang said: "Academician Ye, let's get started!"

"Yeah!" Ye Fei nodded.

Afterwards, Academician Yang sat in front of the main console and directed the scientific researchers to start the particle accelerator.

Even though it is just a small particle accelerator, it cannot be controlled by one or two people. It requires the joint control of more than a dozen people, each of whom is responsible for a different area.

Academician Yang is responsible for giving orders, supervising and sitting at the main stage for overall control.

Ye Feishi sat in front of the calculation input table and entered the formula he had prepared long ago.

Buzz~~

It's like a giant creature that has been sleeping for thousands of years wakes up from its slumber.

Ye Fei was a little shocked as he watched the particle accelerator in front of him slowly start up.

At first, the speed can still be seen with the naked eye, but after a few seconds, the picture in front of you becomes blurry and completely invisible to the naked eye.

Afterwards, Ye Fei looked at the display screen on the wall nearby, which showed the movement of particles in the particle accelerator.

The particle accelerator has been revised several times, and people do not need to go to the particle accelerator to observe the movement of particles.

In the last century, some scientists wanted to observe particles up close, and eventually put their heads into a particle accelerator.

It is very dangerous to stick your head into a particle accelerator.

It is extremely easy for the proton stream to penetrate the brain at the speed of light.

Although it looked unharmed on the outside, it was severely damaged on the inside.

At this time, two situations will occur, death on the spot, or permanent brain damage.

Either way, it's not going to be good.

Because of this, no one is stupid enough to go to the particle accelerator to observe particles when the particle accelerator is running.

Instead, observe the particles in the particle accelerator through a display screen.

This is not only clear, but also easier to observe.

Looking at the particle trajectory on the screen, Ye Fei observed it for a moment, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he was excited: "It is exactly as I guessed, the particles can be controlled."

"Huh?" Academician Yang looked at the particles on the screen and asked strangely: "Isn't the trajectory of this particle somewhat..."

Ye Fei turned to look at him and said with a smile: "Isn't it a little too regular?"

"Yes!" Academician Yang nodded and said in confusion: "This is so strange. The movement of particles is irregular. How can there be any regularity?"

Ye Fei laughed and said, "Academician Yang, who said particles are irregular?"

"Huh?" Academician Yang looked at Ye Fei strangely and was very surprised. Aren't the particles irregular? How can this be?

Academician Yang is a high-energy physicist. He has studied high-energy physics for decades, but he has never heard that particles have laws.

If particles are regular, it will be a sensational event for high-energy physics.

It is of great help to research in many fields of high energy physics.

Academician Yang asked: "Academician Ye, don't be ridiculous, how can particles be regular?"

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Academician Yang, don't you believe it?"

"Then I will talk to you based on the facts. Look, next, I will move the particles in a circle."

After speaking, Ye Fei entered some formulas.

Academician Yang stared at the screen strangely. After a moment, his eyes widened in surprise.

Then, he stood up in shock and pointed at the screen. He was stunned and speechless.

On the screen, countless particles formed a hollow circle, rotating slowly and regularly.

Ye Fei looked at Academician Yang with a smile.

For a long time, Academician Yang took a few deep breaths, but he was still deeply surprised.

The movement of particles on the screen broke his understanding of particles.

Then, Academician Yang looked at Ye Fei strangely and said, "Academician Ye, did you do this?"

"Of course!" Ye Fei nodded slightly.

Academician Yang exclaimed: "But how is this possible?"

"This..." He pointed at the screen, and the particles on the screen were still slowly rotating in hollow circles.

Academician Yang looked at the particles on the screen and was speechless for a long time.

After a long time, Academician Yang sat down, looked at Ye Fei with bright eyes, and asked, "Academician Ye, how did you do it?"

Ye Feidao: "After calculating my mathematical formula, I found that particles have rules and can be controlled."

"So, I came out here, typed in my math, ran it through a particle accelerator and tested my idea."

"Sure enough, my idea was right."

Academician Yang looked at Ye Fei in astonishment and said in disbelief: "Is it that simple? Just through mathematics?"

"Of course!" Ye Fei raised the corner of his mouth slightly and chuckled: "I only sit in front of the calculation input table, and I don't sit anywhere else. Besides passing mathematics, can I pass anything else?"

Academician Yang's eyes shone, he leaned forward and said in surprise: "Academician Ye, do you know how earth-shattering your behavior is to the world of physics?"

"If you get this out, you'll become famous in the physics community."

"If particles are ordered and controllable, many physical studies will be successful soon, and many physical problems will be solved, which will be of great help to many physical studies."

"Things like the Higgs mechanism, magnetic monopoles, supersymmetry, antimatter, quantum chromatography, atomic nuclei, islands of stability and quark confinement."

“And the legendary Schrödinger’s cat!”

"You might even win the Nobel Prize in Physics!"

"Academician Ye, you are going to be famous again. After the mathematics world, you are starting to become famous in the physics world."

Academician Yang was very excited. He thought Ye Fei came here just to do a small experiment.

But I didn't expect to do such an earth-shattering event.

Ye Fei's behavior today is a groundbreaking event for the entire physics world.

If it is publicized, it can be of great help to many fields of physics.

This was the first time for Academician Yang to meet Ye Fei. In the past, he had heard that Ye Fei was very talented, but today he saw it.

How is this a genius? This is simply a genius.

Ye Fei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's impossible for me to spread the word."

"Uh..." Academician Yang looked at Ye Fei blankly and said, "Academician Ye, this is something that may win the Nobel Prize, and you don't publicize it?"

Ye Fei curled up the corner of his mouth and chuckled: "The Nobel Prize is nothing, I will get it one day, but my research is related to my quantum computer research."

"So, it's impossible for me to spread the word."

"If this research is not publicized today, I will have more research opportunities to win the Nobel Prize in the future."

Academician Yang looked at Ye Fei blankly, speechless for a long time.

In his heart, he admired Ye Fei very much, and admired Ye Fei's confidence and courage.

If others see that they have the hope of winning the Nobel Prize, why should they care about research?

I have already won awards with my research.

Ye Fei stood up and smiled: "Academician Yang, my research is over. Thank you very much."

Academician Yang said: "I am also very grateful to you for letting me know that particles are regular and controllable."

Ye Feidao: "Academician Yang, if you want to know how to control particles, you can come to Jinling Institute of Science and I can teach you."

Academician Yang's eyes lit up, and then he said a little embarrassedly: "Is this...is this okay?"

Ye Feidao: "There is nothing good or bad, we are all Xia people, help each other!"

"You help me today, and I'll help you tomorrow."

"That... that's okay!" Academician Yang said, "I'll finish the work at hand, and I'll disturb you after a while."

"Okay, you're always welcome!" Ye Fei said with a smile.

After saying that, Ye Fei said goodbye to Academician Yang and Director Ma, and left the National Quantum Research Center.

Looking at Ye Fei leaving, Professor Yang sighed with emotion: "Academician Ye is really a magical person!"

Director Ma smiled and said: "Isn't he quite amazing? The youngest academician in the world, he proved the Riemann Hypothesis and won the Fields Medal at the age of 29."

Academician Yang shook his head and said: "The magic I am talking about is not this kind of magic."

Director Ma looked at Academician Yang strangely, but Academician Yang did not say anything further.

Department of Science and Technology, Director's Office!

The assistant walked in and said, "Director, Academician Ye is here."

Geng Ye immediately put down his pen and said, "Invite him in and make two cups of tea."

After a while, Ye Fei walked in. Geng Ye greeted him with a smile and said, "Academician Ye, welcome!"

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Hello, Geng Si!"

With that said, the two shook hands.

After they sat down, the assistant brought them two cups of tea.

Geng Ye said with a serious expression: "The reason why I called you here this time is to tell you about Beili Country's quantum computer."

"According to the news we received, Beili Country suddenly increased its investment in quantum computer research and doubled its investment."

"From the original $500,000 to $1 million."

"And more scientific researchers have been invested."

"According to our staff's predictions, Beili Country may develop a quantum computer in early 2033."

When Ye Fei heard this, his heart tightened.

It's mid-2031, early 2033, still a year and a half away.

With such a short time, even Ye Fei is not sure that he can develop a quantum computer in one and a half years.

Geng Ye said: "Academician Ye, we also know that time is very tight."

"So, the department held a meeting and decided that we would also increase investment, from the original 10 billion to 30 billion."

"And mobilize more scientific researchers to join in quantum computer research."

Ye Fei nodded and said, "Okay!"

Ye Fei said in confusion: "Why did Beili Kingdom suddenly invest in research?"

"They have completed theoretical research and only application is left. There should be no need to suddenly increase investment!"

"Even if we increase investment, we should definitely increase investment in theoretical research!"

Ye Fei felt very strange about this.

Theoretical research is the most difficult, and research investment should be added at that time.

Instead, they increased investment in applied research.

You know, applied research is much more difficult than theoretical research.

Geng Ye looked at Ye Fei strangely.

"What's wrong?" Ye Fei looked at Geng Ye doubtfully.

Geng Ye said amusedly: "Academician Ye, the reason why Beili Country increased its investment in research is because you started to study quantum computers."

"So they invest more in research."

Ye Fei said in shock: "Because of me? They think too highly of me!"

Geng Ye patted Ye Fei on the shoulder and said, "Academician Ye, Beili Country values ​​you so much, and we value you too. We hope you can develop a quantum computer as soon as possible."

"If it is developed in advance by Beili Country, the situation will be terrible."

Ye Fei nodded and said solemnly: "I know!"

Ye Fei naturally knew the consequences of Beili's development of a quantum computer, which would be very detrimental to Xia's country.

Even if Xia Guo's 5G, Web3.0, and carbon-based chips are combined, they cannot defeat a quantum computer.
