It took more than half a year to write a physics paper, but Shen Qi still had to send it out, after all, it was a hard-won result of labor, and it was a positive signal release: I, Shen Qi, have officially entered the physics world.

This kind of highly theoretical physics paper has no choice, so Shen Qi can only send "Physical-Revie-Letters".

PRL is the top international professional physics journal sponsored by the American Physical Society, translated into Chinese is Physical Review Letters, which is a weekly magazine, and the current IF value is 7.872.

Regarding the paper "Research on Defect Topology Based on Spherical Stable Homotopy Group", Witten put forward some valuable suggestions.

Shen Qi revised according to Witten's opinion, and after consulting Witten's intentions, he put Witten's name after his own name, and the authors of this paper were Shen Qi and Edward Witten.

Shen Qi walked around to the Institute for Advanced Studies every once in a while to chat with Witten about physics, life, and the vast universe, stars, and seas.

It is easier to be a doctoral student in physics at Witten, and Witten does not have hard indicators to give to Shen Qi, he lets Shen Qi play freely, what Shen Qi wants to graduate from the doctorate, and when to submit the research results required for graduation.

What Witten can help Shen Qi is to provide theoretical guidance and other necessary resources.

PRL publishes the latest and coolest physics research results and related reports once a week.

Weeklies review faster than annual, quarterly, and monthly journals, and PRL is behind the American Physical Society, which has a robust and efficient review system.

Shen Qi's paper, "A Study of Defect Topology Based on Spherical Stable Homotopy Groups," soon came into the hands of Ben Eggers, a professor of physics at Yale University, a member of the American Physical Society and a recipient of the American Physical Society's Barclays Prize.

Professor Eggers was first attracted by the title of the paper, and then he was shocked by the names of the two authors.

"Shen Qi, Edward Witten, what are they crazy about?" Eggers was under a lot of pressure as he prepared to review the paper, written by two Fields Medal winners.

The Barclays Prize is the biggest prize in physics, and Eggers has to bear the pressure, and he must be confident, after all, he is a professional physicist who has won the Barclays Prize.

After reviewing Shen Qi and Witten's papers, Eggers pondered for a long time.

After re-examination, Eggers's expression was extremely solemn, and he understood the paper on condensed matter physics.

"Shen Qi and Witten calculated the permanent cycle in the Adams spectrum sequence based on the homotopy group, God, should I pass it for them or not?"

Professor Eggers was caught in a dilemma, Anderson, a staunch supporter of the Anderson system of physics.

In Anderson's classic textbook Advanced Condensed Matter Physics, traditional physics methods are used to define defects such as singular points or singular lines in crystals.

Eggers teaches his students condensed matter physics this classical method of physics.

Now, Shen Qi and Witten have come up with a new method based on homotopy groups, and their intention is to upgrade and update the traditional physics methods in condensed matter physics.

"Is there something wrong with the brain of the editor of PRL, how can such a special author, such a sensitive paper, be handed over to me for review?" Eggers felt that he had been framed, and he did not want to offend Witten and Shen Qi and Anderson.

After the death of Mr. Hawking, there are still four recognized top physics experts in the physics community today.

In order of age:

Yang Zhenning, the old man is in his nineties and almost a hundred years old.

Anderson, who is one year younger than Mr. Young.

Stephen Weinberg, Anderson is ten years younger and is also in his eighties.

Edward Witten, he's not even seventy years old, he's still young.

The common attribute of the four physics gurus is that they are all theoretical physicists.

Edward Witten's unique highlight is that he is the only one of the four to have won a Fields Medal.

The other three are Nobel laureates in physics.

Anderson's students are all over the world, Anderson's students.

All in all, Professor Eggers was in a difficult situation, and Anderson was in a state of concern because of his advanced age, which was currently impaired with mobility.

And Witten is alive, and he can still be active in the physics community for at least ten years.

Shen Qi?

This guy is only in his twenties......

I can't afford to provoke it.

As far as the paper "Defect topology based on spherical stable homotopy groups" is concerned, Eggers does not deny the research results of Shen Qi and Witten, which is also his difficulty.

......

Princeton Math Building, Shen Qi's office.

Shen Qi was furious at Lei: "Yu Lei, what kind of plane are you doing! Just a few days after going to Canada, I slept with someone's yellow flower girl!"

"Little Brother Qi, you wronged me! I didn't sleep with her, I didn't sleep with her!" Yu Lei shouted that he was wronged, because he was overexcited, and his body trembled violently.

Shen Qi was angry: "Professor Xiao Guy's complaint call came directly to me, and he described you as a man who 'thinks in the lower half of his body'! As your mentor, I, Shen Qi, can't afford to lose this person, the international influence is too bad!"

"I drank too much that day, I didn't keep the festival, I was passive, Brother Qi!"

"Yu Lei, what do you mean, she slept with you? I admit that you are handsome, and you can do whatever you want?"

"Hey, it's hard to say, it's all the fault of alcohol. ”

"Yu Lei, whether it's a sincere relationship or a one-night, I have no right to interfere in your private life, I once said that I hope you can be accompanied by beautiful girls by your side, academically and socially. But you have to remember to me that rabbits don't eat grass next to the nest, and you must not sleep with the girls in the team, this is the most basic principle. Shen Qi knocked on the table, calming his anger a little.

Yu Lei swore an oath: "Remember, I remember, I remember it in my heart! Brother Qi, don't drive me out of the school!"

"Alright, who didn't be impulsive and didn't make mistakes when they were young? I'll explain this to Professor Guy Jr. Shen Qi is not afraid that students will make mistakes, but he is afraid that students will be dishonest and deceive him.

"Thank you, Brother Qi. Yu Lei's nose was sour, Brother Xiao Qi was so good to me, he protected the calf...... Hey, but the basic principles mentioned by Brother Xiao Qi seem to be exceptional, Sister Xiao Ou is his classmate and a member of his team......

"Let's talk about your topic, Yu Lei, to what extent?" Shen Qi said back to business.

Yu Lei handed a bunch of information to Shen Qi, he was tired but also had a sense of accomplishment.

This transnational cross-university joint project is "Research on Multi-Complex Variable Pure Functions", Shen Qi carefully reviewed the part that Yu Lei was responsible for, and his anger disappeared, no matter what, Yu Lei was very attentive academically, which made Shen Qi feel gratified.
