Chapter 239: Does God Roll the Dice?
"Mr. Jun, Professor Pelly is very busy, and there is a conflict between the time and the scheduling of your report, Professor Quillen asked me to ask for your opinion." As soon as the competition ended, Junxin was stopped by Professor Quillen's assistant, Miss Mandani, who was about to return to the hotel.
"Is that so?" Junxin frowned.
Miss Mandani nodded, as Professor Quillen's teaching assistant, although she didn't know much about Junxin because of the local problem, but after seeing her professor's attitude towards Junxin a few days ago, she went back and inquired about Junxin, and then she had a huge awe of the boy in front of her, and she unconsciously spoke with an extremely respectful tone.
"Well, please go back and convince Professor Quillen to let Professor Alan Pelley take some time after my report is finished, and I will visit him after I finish it." Junxin said after thinking for a while.
"Okay, I'll tell Professor Quillen for you, do you have any other orders?" Miss Mandani asked.
"Not for the time being, if I'm thinking of something, I'll tell Professor Quillen myself in the evening, you go about your own business first!" Junxin shook his head and said.
After seeing off Mandani, Junxin and the team came to the hotel where the team stayed, because it was still early and close to Mit, so Junxin was not in a hurry to return to MIT again, but sat quietly in the room, quietly thinking about what to say and what to discuss when meeting with Professor Alan Paley.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Junxin sent off the players of the Princeton Tigers who were going back to school, and then returned to his room to put the paper he was going to bring to Professor Allen Paley in his school bag, and came to the lobby of the hotel.
The time for the presentation is six o'clock and lasts for two hours, with the first hour for the presentation and the second hour for questions. In fact, as far as Junxin is concerned, the time arrangement is very tight, and it is also very in line with the characteristics of Massachusetts.
"Mr. Jun, Professor Quelen has communicated with Professor Paley, and Professor Paley expressed great interest in your research and offered to attend your presentation!" On the way, Miss Mandani explained to Junxin the whereabouts of the person Junxin was most concerned about this time, and brought Junxin a news that surprised him very much and caught him off guard.
"What's going on?" Jun Xin asked with a blank expression.
"In the afternoon, when Professor Quillen called Professor Pelly to discuss your matter, Professor Pelly expressed interest in you and asked to participate in the presentation on the phone."
"But I'm talking about topology, so I can't connect it to electronic computers, right?" Junxin shook his head and said.
"You're going to make it difficult for me!" Miss Mandani smiled wryly and explained, "I don't know what Professor Pelly thinks, I just followed Professor Quillen's instructions. ”
In fact, Junxin didn't expect Miss Mandani to answer his question. It didn't take too long to know the answer to this question, so Junxin didn't ask again, but lowered his head and thought silently.
Soon, Junxin came to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology again, and it was Professor Quelen who came forward to receive him. In fact, Professor Quelen prefers to stay with a pure mathematician like Junxin, after all, he is a like-minded peer, and the communication between them will be more pleasant.
"Jun, I'm really sorry, but Temple University urgently called and asked Professor Pelley to get there as soon as possible. As you know, Professor Paley was one of the founders of the computer science program at Temple University, and there were things that had to be done by him. So there's no way to give you too much time. ”
"How long will it take for me?" Junxin asked.
"You know, Professor Pelley originally had a lecture at Mit, but since you booked it before, did you expect that there would be an urgent matter on Temple's side? It was suggested that your report should be postponed, but it was rejected by Professor Paley. So his talk will be scheduled for a later day in late January, after Christmas. However, Professor Paley has indicated that he would like to hear your presentation. By the way, after your presentation, I will communicate with you. Professor Quillen said with a smile.
"Thank you so much, Professor!" Junxin smiled gratefully at Professor Quillen, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity. ”
"Ha, it's not like I'm giving you a chance, in fact, MIT has to respect your rights and interests. Although such things have been dealt with on the record, your achievements are not too easy for the Massachusetts school to ignore. You're the one who's going to win the Fields Medal. ”
"It's still early, so don't worry about it for now." Junxin waved his hand and said, "I have an idea, the professor can try to see if it works." ”
"Tell me about it!"
"I want to change the subject of the report, I don't know if it's okay?"
Professor Quillen was not very surprised, but thought for a while very calmly, and asked calmly, "What kind of theme do you want to change to?" He didn't ask Junxin why.
"If it's a theme, let's change it to 'Does God roll the dice?'" Junxin also said very calmly.
"Why?" Professor Quelen was really a little surprised at this moment, he thought that Junxin was going to change the content of the report to computer. Although he never knew that Junxin had any outstanding talent and research in electronic computers, but just what he said about the RSA key defect last time was enough to make Professor Quelen dare not underestimate his ability in electronic computers, and afterwards he asked about the relevant information when he specially invited the three people who invented the RSA key, and naturally knew the characteristics of this key, and it was really not easy to find out this defect.
"You know, I'm probably a theoretical physics researcher, this is when I was calculating and solving the three-dimensional Pangjialai conjecture recently, I accidentally went to the field of mathematical physics, I came up with a series of very interesting things, but it has not been verified by experiments, this time I just have time, by the way!"
After a pause, Junxin continued: "Actually, I personally think that this place, which is slightly related to electronic computers, can be regarded as my tribute to Professor Paley! ”
On December 23, 1981, the concept of quantum communication technology was officially born in a mathematics report at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
