Chapter 274: Science Stands Up to Questioning
However, Einstein rejected the results of Schrödinger's theory, arguing that quantum mechanics was nothing more than a rational description of the behavior of atoms and subatoms, a phenomenological theory, and by no means an ultimate truth in itself.
For this he also said a famous saying.
"That's that God doesn't roll dice."
He dismisses Schrödinger's theory that cats are not eigen-states, that there must be an internal mechanism that makes up the true nature of things, and has spent years trying to devise an experiment to test whether this inner truth is actually working, but unfortunately he dies before he can complete this design.
Of course, this is a love and kill between quantum physics and classical physics, and they have not fought a victory or defeat so far, so it is good to focus on the conclusions of quantum mechanics first.
In general, in the state of quantum superposition, the bit becomes a qubit, and then it can no longer only obtain 0 and 1, but can be in more states.
It is precisely because a qubit potentially contains a much larger amount of information than a single bit that many scientists believe that the computing power of quantum computers must far exceed that of classical computers.
But the reason why I use the word "potentially" is because it's just speculation, and it takes a clever enough experimental design to make the most of it.
The next mysterious concept, quantum entanglement, in place, provides the most important prerequisites.
To put it simply, two particles that are temporarily coupled, even if they are no longer coupled, are still related to each other.
For example, two electrons moving in opposite directions, but with the same velocity, one running next to the Sun and the other running next to Mars, are still correlated at such a distance.
Professor Pan Jianwei's research is quantum communication derived from quantum entanglement.
Since ancient times, generals who can fight well have understood the importance of intelligence, and how to encrypt intelligence has become one of the most important military aircraft matters in every army.
The world's first computer, invented by Turing, was used to brute-force the German army's Enigma cipher machine, and in the end, it did cost the German army a heavy price.
This shows how important information encryption is.
Professor Pan Jianwei's research direction is to use quantum principles to encrypt information.
The first time quantum teleportation was realized was in 1997, when Professor Pan Jianwei was studying for a PhD under Professor Salinger at the University of Innsbruck, Austria.
Later, this article was selected as one of Nature's "21 Classic Papers in Physics in the Past Century." ”
Papers alongside it include Röntgenium's discovery of X-rays, Einstein's establishment of the theory of relativity, and Watson and Crick's discovery of the DNA double helix.
It is enough to see how much attention the scientific community attaches to this article.
After returning to China, Professor Pan Jianwei also wanted to plan to make a drastic move, and when applying for funds, he directly took 100 million yuan as a unit.
And this huge amount of funding has always been the target of Professor Pan Jianwei's attack.
"Before the principle is clear, you start to blow about practical application?"
"Wow, I smell the water turning to oil."
"Started drawing flatbread again?"
"Obviously, the two sides temporarily discussed the method of the secret key, and they had to put on some quantum entanglement to pretend to be tall."
……
In fact, questioning science has always been a very reasonable thing, because the reason why science is more reliable than metaphysics is because it can withstand questioning!
However, modern science is so complex that it is not a person who jumps out and shouts one day.
"I found out! It turns out that you can also use a haystack to extinguish a fire! ”
At this time, a group of people who used water to extinguish the fire every day and used a haystack to make a fire immediately laughed when they heard it, and shouted in their mouths, "Where is the stupid hat, where is it cool?" ”
But the man smiled slightly, and very calmly lit a fire, then picked up a bundle of grass and quickly slapped it out, and finally turned away in a dashing manner, leaving a group of stunned people.
But instead of explaining quantum mechanics to the public? Seriously...... Friends, sometimes even undergraduates who have studied quantum mechanics for four years are afraid to say that they understand the skin.
If you want to question Professor Pan Jianwei's article, you have to tear him, no problem, write an article to refute him and publish it in a journal with the same strength, so that even if you tear the other party's underwear, the people in the scientific research community will only applaud you and let you tear it more violently!
But if you write an article that doesn't even have a Greek letter and post it on Weibo to tear up such a complex issue, this is called bringing the rhythm of the people Thank you.
Today, Professor Pan Jianwei is an academician of HKUST, one of the top 10 scientific figures of the year by Nature, and one of the world's most influential people by Time Magazine.
But the voices of skepticism have not stopped.
"Foreigners' magazines say he's a character, and the Chinese people have an orgasm?"
"This kind of magazine can be published for a fee, right?"
"I'm afraid it wasn't a foreigner who sent it to China to cheat the funds."
Time will tell.
However, whether it is blown or scolded, this kind of controversy has made Professor Pan Jianwei, or quantum communication, more and more influential, so big that even the 1024 forum can see related posts.
The next era is not the encrypted transmission of wool chips......
After thinking for a while, Wu Bin looked at Gu Jiaqi and replied:
"He is a master of quantum physics and one of the pioneers in the field of experimental research on quantum information." Wu Bin looked up and replied.
Although Gu Jiaqi wanted to ask what the quantum information experiment was, a very firm voice suddenly appeared in her head.
"No, you don't want to!"
And Gu Jiaqi also followed this voice very decisively, nodded and said, "Wow, it's amazing." Then he went on eating.
And Wu Bin also shook his head with a smile and continued to carry out his calculation.
As for whether quantum communication is "science fiction metaphysics", he doesn't want to get involved in meaningless debates, he just wants to find out one day with his own ability!
PS: I think that my style has not changed, just like the testimonial on the shelf, I want to write about the flow of life, wandering between daily life, scientific research, and popular science.
And when you catch up with the latest chapter, you can still talk about water...... Honestly, isn't this book slow to update and contentless for you...... If you can catch up with the latest chapter, don't you have anything to think of me?
To this I just want to say, "No!" ”
PS2: Was it disqualified if you failed on the first day of the Riot Event...... , the mentality collapsed.
