Chapter 728: You let him try

【Research Theory of Simulated Neural Signals and Electrical Signal Conversion Based on Quantum Theory】

When he saw this title, Xu Chuan was slightly stunned.

Neural Signal Simulation and Electrical Signal Conversion Based on Quantum Theory?

He knew what Xu Xiao was studying, not only did he know, but he even personally guided the direction.

But this paper was indeed a bit unexpected to him.

He knows quantum theory, he also knows the simulation of neural signals, and the conversion of electrical signals is the core bridge of virtual reality technology, but these three technologies are combined.

Maybe there was a similar development in biology, but he hadn't heard much of it.

He knows quantum biology, but the gap between quantum biology and this paper is very far, and it can even be said that the two are not compatible at all.

Flipping through the paper in his hand, Xu Chuan's eyes showed a look of interest, looked at Xu Xiao with some curiosity, and asked, "You wrote this paper yourself?" ”

Xu Xiao nodded and said, "Sort of." ”

After a pause, she continued: "When I was at Mizuki University before, wasn't there a problem with the bioelectrode chip we developed? ”

"Later, through the detection and study of experimental data, we found that external interference, dizziness, headache, motion sickness and other problems that occur after wearing for too long are largely due to the inaccurate conversion of neural signals and neural signals."

"For virtual reality technology, the accuracy of the virtual representation of the external environment is one of the most important technologies. In order to make the virtual environment consistent with the objective world, it is necessary to make an accurate and complete description of the wide variety and complex configuration of the information. ”

"In order to process this data, it is necessary to study efficient modeling methods to reconstruct its evolution and the various interrelationships and interactions between virtual objects."

"When I was at Mizuki University, we couldn't do that with the virtual environment model we matched. In other words, conventional environment virtualization and transformation models simply cannot do such complex neural signal simulation and transformation work. ”

"Later, when I was studying at Cambridge University, my current supervisor, Professor Elvis, came up with the idea of building a mathematical model for this through quantum theory."

"This thesis was based on this idea, and it was my goal after graduating from my PhD."

Xu Chuan glanced at her and said, "Let me write your doctoral dissertation for you?" ”

Xu Xiao: "I didn't let you write, brother, you can help me solve the math problems inside, and I'll do the rest myself." I'm not a math major, and I don't understand quantum theory. ”

Xu Chuan: "Don't do it if it's difficult?" If you don't have a math major, you can't study math? ”

Xu Xiao pouted and said: "But this thing is too difficult, I have to do it myself and learn mathematics from scratch, I can't do it without a foundation of four or five years." ”

"Wait another four or five years, and I'll have to study for at least six years for a PhD! It's also too long. ”

"Brother~, help!"

Xu Chuan didn't care about Xu Xiao's coquettishness, and said directly: "It's always good to learn more." ”

Puffing out his cheeks, Xu Xiao said indignantly: "I'm already very good at math, okay, my tutor's math skills are not as good as mine." ”

"But this is really too difficult, it's too difficult, I don't believe you can read it, I promise it's not something that an ordinary doctoral student can do, I tried it with my classmates in the Department of Mathematics before, but I can't do it at all."

Xu Chuan glanced at her, half-believing this girl's words.

Xu Xiao's mathematical skills are indeed there, although she did not study mathematics during her university, master's and doctoral studies, but her mathematical skills are indeed not weak.

At the beginning, the mathematical model of the virtual helmet of Mizuki University, although it had the help of senior sister Liu Jiaxin, Xu Xiao also participated.

Not to mention the Ph.D., she should still have the regular master's degree in mathematics.

As for her tutor's math level, which is not as good as her, this is normal. After all, the study of biology rarely applies a lot of knowledge in the field of mathematics.

Even if it is occasionally involved, it will basically be dealt with by other mathematics majors, just like his mentor Chen Zhengping's research on tungsten diselenide a few years ago.

But if it really is so difficult that no one can solve it, he doesn't believe it.

There is a high probability that this girl is addicted to his wool.

After all, asking other mathematicians to solve this problem will cost a lot of money if it is not good, and maybe even the author of the paper will be awarded a score for adding a name.

Shaking his head, Xu Xiao's coquettish cuteness that couldn't stand it, Xu Chuan finally decided to look at the paper first.

Aside from that, he himself was also interested in the paper.

The core foundation of this paper is interesting to use quantum theory to establish the simulation of neural and electrical signals for virtual reality technology.

didn't care about Xu Xiao's girl anymore, Xu Chuan focused on the paper in his hand and read it carefully.

After a moment, a strange color appeared in his eyes.

This time, Xu Xiao is really right, if you want to use quantum theory to establish the simulation conversion of neural signals and electrical signals for virtual reality technology, it is really difficult.

At present, he has briefly flipped through this paper, although he does not know much about the biology part and the virtual reality technology theory part. But as far as mathematics is concerned, from the problems in the paper and the requirements for the model.

In order to solve these problems, at least three fields are involved: quantum measurement, Hamiltonian algorithm, and Schrödinger equation. It's still a quantum thing, and how to turn it into a mathematical model and combine it with biology and virtual reality technology, these are all troubles.

To solve these problems, not to mention the modeling work, just to complete this mathematical work, it is not easy.

Not to mention the rest, among the four students he is currently bringing, oh no, it is now five students, even Ding Rui and Tong Yang, two doctoral students, can't handle this tool.

Even Gu Bing or Cai Penglai, who had been brought before, were difficult to do.

As far as the people around him are concerned, the one who can really handle this model is probably the senior sister Liu Jiaxin who was still chatting just now.

Oh, if you really want to do it, Amelia, who is now a professor at Princeton University, can probably do it.

"It's a bit interesting, this model is really difficult."

Looking at the paper, Xu Chuan rubbed his chin with some interest in his eyes.

This is not pure mathematical modeling, but also a lot of knowledge in the field of quantum mechanics. To get it right, you can't just master the principles of modeling.

At least have a certain understanding of quantum measurements, Hamiltonian algorithms, and Schrödinger equations in quantum mechanics.

"That's right, man, I said it's hard, it's hard." Xu Xiao said angrily: "I have looked for the professor of the Cambridge Mathematics Department, and he actually wants to charge me 800,000 euros!" It's so dark! ”

"800,000 euros?"

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "If 800,000 euros can solve your problem, I will give you 1.6 million euros." ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiao's eyes immediately widened, and he looked at Xu Chuan with a confused expression.

Xu Chuan shook his head with a smile and said: "As far as the problem in your paper is concerned, modeling alone is quite a troublesome job, such a model involving mathematics, quantum mechanics, and biology, as long as it is done well, 800,000 euros may be just a fraction." ”

"In addition to modeling, for your paper and your research direction, modeling does not mean that it can be built well, but the big data training of the model is the most important."

"And every model training costs a lot of money, 800,000 euros, which may only be enough for dozens of trainings."

Hearing this, Xu Xiao suddenly frowned, and sighed with a sad face: "It's so difficult, brother." ”

Xu Chuan thought for a moment and said, "It's indeed a bit difficult to use this as your doctoral dissertation. ”

"But you don't have a company in virtual reality technology, don't you have a company? The company will process the model, including the model and the ownership, and the company will provide you with the model and experimental data for your paper to cite in your paper. ”

Xu Xiao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is this okay?" Dude, this is my dissertation for Ph.D. graduation, and Professor Elvis won't agree to break up the model, right? ”

Xu Chuan didn't care, and said with a smile: "You just tell him that I asked for it, and he will agree." ”

Xu Xiao said with a sad face: "But will Professor Elvis be stuck in my graduation in this way?" Without a core mathematical model, is such a paper really possible? I don't want to drag on there for a few years. ”

Although the doctoral dissertation sounds very lofty, for the academic community, it is actually the same, it is written for the supervisor.

The vast majority of master's and doctoral students are wage earners, and their graduation theses and their names basically only appear on the second work.

As for the first work and the corresponding author, under normal circumstances, they all belong to the mentor.

This kind of detachment of the core part of the thesis is still very rare in the academic world, especially in the graduation thesis of a graduate student.

Under normal circumstances, the vast majority of doctoral students will not and dare not play like this, after all, if they really want to do this, the professor's favor will fall directly, the favor is gone, and the graduation certificate is still missing?

Xu Chuan smiled and said lightly: "If he cards you to graduate, you let him try." ”

For Xu Chuan, a paper is actually nothing, and he doesn't pay attention to it.

But the ownership of this mathematical model is necessary.

Because if he does it, the importance of this model is not low, and it can be said to be a core work for the development of virtual reality technology.

If it is not clearly divided now, in the future, Xu Xiao's company, that is, the company that he invested 200 million yuan in Xu Xiao to do virtual reality technology research, will make achievements in this regard, and there may be a dispute over the results.

And from another point of view, the controversy is still light, and the leakage of core technology is the key.

One of the cores of virtual reality technology, and even the most important place, is the simulation of neuronal signals and the conversion of electrical signals, which has a great relationship with this model.

Generally speaking, if something like a mathematical model appears in a student's graduation thesis, most schools will require the student to provide the model code.

Once the model code is leaked, even if it is only the first generation, it is a great risk for future virtual reality technology.

It is impossible for Xu Chuan to let this kind of thing happen, so he can only solve it in advance.

As for whether it will cause Xu Xiao's tutor to be unhappy, she will graduate or something.

Don't worry about this.

You must know that behind her is a real top academic circle boss.

A Nofi double prize winner, a mathematician who has solved three millennial problems, and a scholar who has solved controlled nuclear fusion engineering.

Come to think of it, anyone with a normal IQ probably wouldn't risk offending such a big guy and go to Karta's sister's graduation.

Even if her mentor had suddenly lost his mind, Cambridge would not have allowed that to happen.

The six-hour journey passed quickly, and when Xu Chuan arrived home, it was exactly five o'clock in the afternoon, and on the cement lawn of the courtyard of the country house, a row of salted cured meat was gently rippling in the wind.

At the well in front of the house, a middle-aged woman with an apron and sleeve was washing her home-grown vegetables, but soon, hearing the roar of a car, she looked up with a big smile on her face.

"Mom! I'm back! ”

The Hongqi car drove directly to the floor, and Xu Xiao, who was sitting in the back seat, couldn't wait to push the car door and ran out, hanging directly on the middle-aged woman.

"Xiaoxiao is back."

Mother Xu wiped her hands on her apron, wiped the water, patted Xu Xiao's head with a soft smile on her face, looked at her carefully, and was relieved to see that she was fine.

As the saying goes, the mother of a thousand miles is worried, Xu Chuan went abroad to study for a doctorate, and she was worried every day. Now that Xu Xiao is also studying abroad, she is also worried every day.

These two sons and daughters are the greatest pride of her life.

Xu Chuan looked at the two of them with a smile and shouted softly, "Mom, I'm back." ”

Mother Xu looked at it with a smile: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back, your dad is cooking in the room, and you can start the meal after waiting." ”

"There's no hurry." Xu Chuan smiled, walked into the kitchen, and saw his father who was busy by the stove.

"Dad."

Xu Chuan shouted with a smile, Xu Ma usually cooks at home, but Comrade Xu Jianguo's cooking skills are better, and he does it for the occasional New Year's Festival and guests at home.

Comrade Jianguo was busy in the kitchen, and it was obvious that he had calculated the time, and he could eat when his children arrived home.

By the stove, looking at his son standing at the door, Xu Jianguo nodded with a smile: "I'm back, I can eat later, and I made your and Xiaoxiao's favorite elbows and carp." ”

"Hmm." Xu Chuan responded with a smile, looked at the kitchen and went to his room with his bag on his back.

At this time, Zheng Hai had already sent the luggage up, and when he saw Xu Chuan, he smiled and said, "Professor, the luggage has been placed in your room." ”

Xu Chuan nodded and said with a smile: "I'm in trouble, it's about to start, do you and Sijia want to stay and eat together?" ”

"No, no," Zheng Hai waved his hand politely and said, "She and I still have to do the registration and inspection work, so we won't disturb your family reunion." ”

After a pause, he smiled and said, "And we have already prepared dinner over there, and we can eat it at any time after taking care of these things." ”

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, who was slightly shorter than himself, Xu Chuan sighed and said with some apologies: "I'm sorry to trouble you, you have to work hard every time." ”

With his current status, every trip is quite troublesome, especially when he goes far away, and he needs the security team led by Zheng Hai to prepare for landing in advance.

If it is not necessary, he rarely leaves Jinling now, and festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are generally passed by his parents.

But on a special day like the New Year, it is inevitable to toss.

Zheng Hai smiled and waved his hand, and said, "No trouble, no trouble." That's what we do, and I'll go first, Professor. If you have any needs, please feel free to contact me. ”

Seeing Zheng Hai leave, Xu Chuan sighed softly.

There is a chance to compensate for these hard workers.
