No matter how hotly discussed the brain-computer club is on the Internet, it can't delay going to the quantum laboratory.

So in the afternoon, Wang Yufei rushed to the Beijing Institute of Quantum Information Science as promised, and met Professor Pan Wenyue for the first time.

Compared with the photos on the Internet, in fact, my appearance looks more kind, which is probably Wang Yufei's first impression of this middle-aged professor.

When doing business, Wang Yufei had already suppressed the resentment in his heart.

For him, this meeting was very important.

It's about an online bet with Google.

Of course, Wang Yufei's preparation was also very sufficient, and the two had a very in-depth discussion on academic issues. The conversation was not long, almost an hour, and the two mainly discussed the inability of quantum computing to be applied to classical computer error correction and replication functions due to quantum inclonability.

The atmosphere of conversation is also relaxed and pleasant.

Until Pan Wenyue sighed and said: "[5200] You are the most talented student I have ever met, if it weren't for the fact that you are a student of my alumni, and the age is there, I must suspect that you have been studying physics for many years, especially quantum physics, I can say responsibly that many graduate students have not studied as deeply as you." ”

Wang Yufei hurriedly said: "You have won the award, thank you Professor Pan for your recognition." ”

However, Pan Wenyue smiled, waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me first, because after my careful consideration, I can't accept you as a student." ”

"Well, why?" this answer surprised Wang Yufei, but there was no disappointment.

Because he felt that Professor Pan had not finished his words, otherwise he would not have a smile on his face all the time.

According to the information he obtained, the senior scholar in the field of quantum computing in front of him is most likely not the kind of mentor with a bad taste, for example, he likes to see young people who can't ask for it.

Wang Yufei has also been in contact with many scholars and technicians, and he feels that only the purest science of science can produce results. And this kind of pure scientist is often very simple.

"Quite simply, I don't think I can teach you much. And I'm different from Lao Gao in teaching. Lao Gao belongs to the free-range type, but I will unconsciously let my students follow my set, because I hope they will take fewer detours, but the shortcomings are also obvious, and they often stifle the students' creative ability. It's a personality reason that's hard to change. And you're creative. ”

"During the time when Mingzhu was in session, I carefully studied the algorithm you sent me. The more I look at it, the more subtle it becomes, and a lot of fantastical ideas can still be realized, and this kind of creativity I have never seen in others. So be my student, I'm afraid I'll delay you. So I took it upon myself to help you apply for a co-researcher status from the institute. To put it simply, I've already requested an internal access for you. ”

"In the future, you can use this identity to enter and exit the laboratory, and use your authority to access most of the laboratory's information. But there is one thing, you can't copy these materials, you can't take them out, you can't pass them on, you can only access them inside the laboratory. You can also use the equipment in the laboratory, but you need to submit an application first, generally speaking, if the equipment is idle, then it can be approved on the same day, if there are other experimental projects that occupy the equipment, it may be delayed, after all, the institute has to consider its own research progress. However, you can rest assured that it will generally not take more than three days to make an application. ”

"I hope you understand this part too. After all, there is a need for confidentiality, and in order to avoid the waste of resources and time caused by repeated research, some data of our institute and the Institute of Quantum Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as well as the Key Laboratory of Quantum Information of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Institute of Quantum Electronics of the Beijing Institute of Mass Electronics are interoperable. ”

"As for the experimental assistant, you can ask a friend to help, of course, only for researchers recognized by the institute, or you can use the appointment system, you have to pay for it yourself, after all, the fund in the institute is also relatively tight. It's a little benefit for the researchers in the institute. Of course, if you do have some achievements in something, the firm will share those results with you. However, the firm promises that we only have the right to use, that is, the firm can use these results unconditionally, but it will not be externally licensed, let alone used for commercial purposes. ”

"But if your research direction is duplicated with ours, and you use the patents and copyrighted data that we have applied for at this stage, and form the results, then we both have the same right to dispose of it. Of course, the results of your previous research on your own do not count. For example, the algorithm you gave me, although we have been working on quantum algorithms, and your algorithm is obviously ahead of us, this algorithm will not be coveted. That's probably the case, what do you think?"

Wang Yufei immediately nodded and said, "I think it's pretty good." ”

Indeed, Wang Yufei couldn't find a reason to refuse.

His needs are clear, he just covets the data that lies quietly on the server.

He can also understand the need for confidentiality at the institute.

Especially when he came in, he experienced the relatively strict security measures of the institute.

Pan Wenyue emphasized again: "Well, then you must remember that according to the confidentiality regulations of the institute, if you want to open up the permission, some electronic equipment cannot be brought into the operation room, you can only use the computer equipment provided by the institute, do not try to copy the information through the equipment in the institute, it will trigger an alarm and cause unnecessary misunderstandings, affecting the cooperation between our two sides." ”

Wang Yufei immediately assured: "Don't worry, Professor Pan, I understand the importance of confidentiality, and I will never do such a thing." ”

Of course, Wang Yufei sighed a little in his heart, if Professor Pan in front of him knew his memory ability, I don't know if he would be so relieved to apply for permission for him.

Pan Wenyue laughed and said, "Okay, let's go, I'll take you to Director Xue for a chat now, and then sign a few confidentiality agreements and cooperative research contracts, and you can get an access card and your exclusive personal account for logging in to our database." Don't be nervous, I also talked to Director Xue about you this morning, and he is very optimistic about you, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to let you join so easily. By the way, our director's name is Xue Song, and he is also an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a very capable professor, you don't need to call Director Xue, just call the teacher. He used to be a doctoral supervisor at Beijing University, and is now an honorary professor at Beijing University. ”

"Got it, thank you, Professor Pan. ”

......

The director's office is on the third floor.

It seems to be similar to Professor Pan's office, with simple furnishings and more main bookcases.

Wang Yufei glanced at it, the books in the bookcase were all those highly professional books, which were placed a little messily, with traces of frequent movement, obviously these books were not for viewing, but were often used.

Of course, there are not only books in the bookcase, but also drawings and archives marked with various numbers.

As for the first impression of this Director Xue, it is probably that the bookish atmosphere is very strong.

When Professor Pan knocked on the door and led him into his office, the director was sitting at his desk, wearing a pair of glasses, poring over a report.

"Lao Xue, I brought the people, are the contracts ready?"

As soon as he entered the door, Pan Wenyue said loudly.

This made Wang Yufei feel a little weird, as if he had taken the initiative to get on a thief ship.

Fortunately, Director Xue didn't pay attention to Pan Wenyue, but slowly put down the report in his hand, took off his glasses, looked Wang Yufei up and down with a smile, and then said: "Sit first, sit first, Xiao Pan is an anxious child." I'm just so unwelcome, can't you talk before signing the contract?"

"Hello Teacher Xue!" Wang Yufei nodded to the scholar before following Professor Pan to sit on the sofa in the office.

"Okay, good, good Wang. Well, Xiao Pan has already told you about some of the requirements of the institute just now, right?" asked Director Xue.

"As I have made it clear, I promise to abide by the confidentiality rules of the institute and will not copy any information. Wang Yufei replied.

"Well, okay, as long as we follow our confidentiality system, everything else is a small matter. By the way, the brain-computer club you set up today is making a lot of noise on the Internet. Sure enough, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and the topics selected by your brain-computer club are basically in line with the most cutting-edge scientific research projects. Director Xue sighed.

Wang Yufei was slightly stunned, he really didn't expect that even the director knew about the news that the Brain Machine Club made on the Internet. I can't help but sigh in my heart at the rapid spread of the Internet in this era, and at the same time, he also began to wake up to the impact of Internet public opinion on the brain-computer society and Changxiang Technology.

"Actually, what is said on the Internet is right, these topics do seem to be too ambitious. But in fact, after these projects are declared, I do not select them according to the topic selection, but according to the seriousness of the project proposal to the topic selection report. Let's put it this way, Mr. Xue, investing in R&D funds and equipment does not really require our members to be able to produce results, but mainly to enable members to exercise their hands-on ability and improve their cognitive ability through these projects. This is also the purpose of the establishment of the Brain Machine Society. ”

"In fact, if we want to talk about the most cutting-edge, these R&D directions we have selected are not the most cutting-edge. For example, we received a research and development plan for Tesla's coil and wireless power transmission submitted by a student from Beijing University, but it was not implemented after careful evaluation. Although this report was also very serious, considering that this technology requires the selection of a relatively remote research site, and it contains great dangers in itself, as well as its advanced nature, it did not pass the review in the end. ”

"Of course, I'm not saying that it's been determined that the members of our brain-computer club don't have a chance to produce results at all. In fact, I think that when I am at the most motivated in my life, I can take on these projects and maybe gain something beyond my expectations. Originally, our brain-computer club would accept and review the project report once a month, but because of the rumors on the Internet, it had a great negative impact on the enthusiasm of the members, so I just announced this morning that we would suspend the acceptance of new topic selection reports and project applications, and the brain-computer club also temporarily stopped recruiting new students, and everything will wait for the results of these eight projects. ”

But it also means that the brain-computer society is using all its resources to support these eight projects. I am confident that at least one or two of these eight projects will make a breakthrough, and I hope that by that time, people's perception of the brain-computer society will change. There will be no unwarranted questioning. ”

Wang Yufei took out his thoughts one hundred and fifty ten.

He can ignore the remarks on the Internet, but in front of these older generation of scientific researchers, Wang Yufei does not want the brain computer club to lose points.

Now the brain-computer club is not so famous, but in the future, he also hopes to invite the top technology in China to guide the members of the brain-computer club, after all, excellent tutors can make students take many detours.

Xue Song and Pan Wenyue nodded at the same time.

Of course, this does not mean that the two fully agree with Wang Yufei's explanation.

In the eyes of the two, Wang Yufei is a pure idealist, and he has some meaning of treating others with himself. To put it simply, his own ability here is too strong, which may give Wang Yufei the illusion that his peers may make breakthroughs in their respective learning directions. This is obviously unrealistic.

But then again, if the purpose of the brain-computer club is only to exercise the mentality of students, then it is understandable to choose these topics.

"The idea is good, but choosing such a challenging project is naturally an exercise in ability for your club members, but you must also be stable in terms of mentality, and it is normal to fail to achieve results. It's a surprise. Director Xue commented.

Wang Yufei smiled and did not answer.

As long as you agree with the concept of the brain-computer club, as for whether you can produce results in the future, pat your chest and say big things at this time, it will only cause disgust.

Scientific research has always been a step-by-step, leapfrogging development model, which can only be done by philosophy and social science.

"Do you want us to find a few old guys to help you speak out in the Brain Society?"

Wang Yufei shook his head and said, "This is really not necessary, I think teachers should believe in the psychological endurance of students." Personally, I believe that if you can't withstand the slightest skepticism, even if you embark on the path of scientific research in the future, the achievements will not be too great. After all, the first quality that a true scientific researcher should possess is the courage to question authority. ”

"Dare to question authority? Well, that's a good point!"

Director Xue sighed, and then said, "Okay, let's talk about it here today, your researcher work card has been made for you, and you can get it after signing the contract." Wait for Lao Pan to take you to enter some basic information, some special laboratories need fingerprint and iris verification, and so on. ”

"Because you're a co-researcher, there's no hard and fast requirement for working hours. You can come and go at any time, including holidays, and there is a staff member. However, it is best not to pick holidays when applying for the use of laboratory equipment, and I wish us a happy cooperation. ”

"We will definitely be happy to work together!"
