Chapter 296: Even the physics community was alarmed

The Riemann hypothesis, the Everest century problem in the mathematical world, has been proven, and this news has touched the hearts of all mathematicians, and it has also made the master's and doctor's degrees who have not been in contact with mathematics for a long time very excited.

Even if you haven't studied the Riemann hypothesis before, you should appreciate this authoritative paper.

This led to the International Congress of Mathematicians, which had greatly shrunk in gold content, and finally ended hastily in desperation. Even the one-hour and forty-five-minute presentations, known as the classic sessions, did not go smoothly.

The process that was supposed to take several days was only completed in the end, and the Fields Medal was awarded.

It has been evaluated by many media as the smallest and shortest international congress of mathematicians.

On the other hand, the Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics at Beijing University has no intention of leaving because the mathematicians on the scene are attracted by the proof process of Riemann's hypothesis.

For this reason, the High Court had no choice but to increase the time of the exchange meeting, and Xu Yun continued to report on the certification process.

Fortunately, there are hardly many students in the school during the summer vacation, otherwise it would be inconvenient to hold such a large event in the mathematics community for a long time.

It is also worth mentioning.

A few days later, the proof of Riemann's hypothesis was officially published in the Annals of Mathematics.

This paper has been seen by more people in the mathematical community.

And give a very high evaluation.

Even Perelman, the proover of Poincaré's conjecture who has not appeared in mathematics for a long time, has appeared on the Internet for this.

In addition to highly praising the content of the paper, he also congratulated Xu Yun.

He even expressed the opportunity to discuss mathematics in person.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of the media from all sides, and a lot of space was spent on reporting.

After all, there is very little news about Pell Lehman in the academic world, and in everyone's mind, this is a very mysterious and withdrawn mathematician, plus he is the first person to prove the world's seven major mathematical problems and refuse the Clay Institute of Mathematics Prize, he is full of curiosity and topics.

Now he suddenly appeared on the Internet, and publicly communicated with Xu Yun to release his good feelings.

On the contrary, it is more proof of the value of this paper.

At least the proof of Poincaré's conjecture agrees.

You must know that after the news of the Riemann hypothesis proof came out, which caused a huge earthquake in the mathematical community, there were also many people who were trying to verify the proof process that tried to overturn Xu Yun.

Xu Yun proved the Riemann hypothesis and was respected by the academic community, if anyone can overturn it at this time, it will definitely gain more attention and heat in the mathematical community and even the world.

In particular, Smith, as the secretary general of the International Mathematical Union, was even more unwilling.

After he returned to the headquarters of the alliance, he immediately found a way to organize professors from the mathematics departments of Oxford, Harvard and other universities to set up special research groups to analyze and verify Xu Yun's proof process.

Even the use of supercomputer-aided calculations was used.

I have to say that if it is a general proof process in mathematics, it is really easy to be overturned under this level of verification.

Even the smallest problem can be enough to spur the proof.

At the very least, it can weaken Xu Yun's influence in the mathematical community.

Since Xu Yun solved the Hodge conjecture and Goldbach conjecture respectively at the age of 20 to show his talent, he has been called the son of mathematics by the academic community and the hope of the future.

This time, after a few years, the resumption of mathematics proved the Riemann hypothesis, which made everyone fanatical.

almost regarded Xu Yun as the emperor of mathematics.

Whether it is the well-known mathematicians of the older generation or the future backbone of the new generation of mathematics, they all have an indescribable reverence for Xu Yunyou.

This has undoubtedly greatly reduced the authority of the International Mathematical Union.

It is no exaggeration to say that Xu Yun alone is almost comparable to the International Mathematical Union.

From the perspective of the secretary general of the International Mathematical Union, Smith certainly does not want this to happen.

It's a pity that he wouldn't know that Xu Yun's process of proving Riemann's hypothesis was not studied in just a few months.

In fact, it is a very mature and reasonable proof.

Not to mention using supercomputers to verify it, even if the quantum computer is put together, it is useless.

On the contrary, it will be more proof that the Riemann hypothesis has been truly solved.

On this day, at the headquarters of the International Mathematical Union, in the office, Smith sat on a chair and leaned back, although his eyes were slightly closed, he still couldn't hide the solemn look on his face.

After the International Congress of Mathematicians ended abruptly, his previous ban on Xu Yun from participating in the conference caused dissatisfaction among many people in the alliance.

It is believed that his approach has caused the authority of the alliance to be damaged, and it has lost the possibility of attracting a genius mathematician like Xu Yun.

It was decided to convene an internal meeting of the alliance to remove him from the post of secretary general.

Even if he accepted the request for a secure building.

In this situation, the only thing he can count on is the research group organized by the mathematics departments of major universities.

As long as Xu Yun's Riemann hypothesis can be overturned or falsified, he will have a chance to stabilize his identity.

Otherwise, if I am forced to leave the Mathematics Alliance, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get along in the mathematics community in the future.

After all, in the lecture hall of Jingzhou University that day, he offended many well-known mathematicians in the mathematical field.

Among them are Drinneweten, among others.

As I was thinking about this, my thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door outside.

"Come in."

Smith opened his eyes and sat up straight, shouting in the direction of the door.

The female assistant pushed the door in and walked straight to the desk to stop.

The other party was just about to answer, but Smith had already taken the lead in asking, "Is there any new news from Oxford Haval?" ”

"According to the replies of Professors Lester and Ruiz, they both said that there is no problem with the proof of the Riemann hypothesis, and that they have been able to pass the verification after many verifications as of today."

In the face of Smith's anxious attitude, the female assistant naturally did not dare to hesitate.

Hurriedly reported the situation to him.

It's just that there is obvious hesitation when it comes to the last sentence.

Clearly, she was well aware of what that result meant to the Secretary-General.

Sure enough, after Smith heard this, the strength that he had finally lifted was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and it wilted again in an instant.

The whole person sat completely slumped in the chair.

The mouth was repeated.

"Passed the check?"

"How can this be true?"

He really couldn't imagine how Xu Yun, who hadn't spent a lot of time researching before, could complete the proof in a short period of time.

If he had been in the lecture hall that day, he could have said that he had not found a loophole in the proof because of time problems.

However, in the face of the research of the research group organized by the Department of Mathematics of the university, it can still successfully pass the verification.

This shows that Xu Yun's proof process is definitely very mature.

Perhaps the Riemann hypothesis has really been proven.

Although this result is difficult for him to accept.

If it is impossible for Xu Yun to solve the Riemann hypothesis in a short period of time, then there is only one possibility left.

Perhaps before Xu Yun ventured into chemical materials, he had already proved the Riemann hypothesis.

No matter how bad it is, most of it is done.

It's just that it's been in the dust and hasn't been activated.

It is conceivable that he has a huge treasure on his body, but he can resolutely throw it down and study a new field and start from scratch.

This is definitely not something that ordinary scientists can do.

With this thought in his mind, Smith can be said to feel Xu Yun's horror the more he thinks about it.

He even began to regret why he obeyed the order of the security building and forbade Xu Yun to participate in the International Congress of Mathematicians.

Otherwise, the situation would never be the way it is.

You must know that a few years ago, when Xu Yun proved Goldbach's conjecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians, he also came to the stage to congratulate him in person and punished the neon mathematical community.

Now it seems that he single-handedly destroyed the original good situation.

However, there is no regret medicine in the world, no matter how bad the situation is, he must face it.

"What an admirable and feared person, who has long solved the Riemann hypothesis but is hidden until now, maybe he can really lead human civilization to deep space in the future."

The thought stayed here, and Smith relaxed a lot, and whispered a little dejectedly.

When the voice reached the ears of the female assistant in front of him, the other party was also very surprised.

couldn't help but ask: "Secretary-General, you said that Xu Yun had already proved the Riemann hypothesis?" ”

"Not so."

Smith had already controlled his emotions, and when he heard this, he raised his eyes to speak his judgment.

"Now the results speak for themselves, and if the Riemann hypothesis had not been proven long ago, how could there have been such a mature proof process."

"Even Oxford and Haval can't find a loophole that can overturn the proof."

"It's hard to imagine such a genius in mathematics." The female assistant nodded with deep understanding and sighed.

Just as the two were talking, they saw a young man with glasses push the door and walk in, walk up to the desk, stop and drop a word at Smith.

"Secretary-General."

"The directors of the alliance have decided to hold a meeting tomorrow, and I hope you will attend on time then."

Without waiting for Smith to speak, he turned to leave.

It can be said that it did not give Smith any face.

Although the female assistant in front of him was very angry, Smith's rare face was very calm.

It seems that the current situation has been expected for a long time.

In the eyes of others, he may still be the secretary general of the Mathematics Alliance, but he knows very well in his heart that he is afraid that he will no longer serve as the secretary general of the alliance after the end of the meeting tomorrow.

In the end, as the other party's figure gradually disappeared from view, he only had a deep sigh left.

……

……

The popularity of the Riemann hypothesis itself, as well as the heat and attention that this event brings.

It is not destined to be a mere event in the world of mathematics.

In addition to mathematicians, there are many scholars in other fields who have studied Xu Yun's paper.

The largest number of them is undoubtedly in the physics community.

As everyone knows.

Before Xu Yun solved the Riemann hypothesis, the academic community believed that to prove the Riemann hypothesis, it was necessary to start with quantum mechanics.

Now that the Riemann hypothesis has been proven and has been endorsed by so many authoritative scientists, it is natural that many physicists in the quantum field will study it to see if they can get any new inspiration.

"Come and take a look at this paper, I swear it's going to be a very big surprise for you."

In an office in California, Professor Kruger, a graduate of applied mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, handed a paper journal from the Annals of Mathematics to Puskore.

Seemingly optimistic about the contents of the journal, Kruger said this with confidence.

As an excellent mathematician computer scientist at MIT, he created a well-known algorithm that can be used in quantum computers to efficiently decompose large integers.

It can even threaten existing public-key cryptography systems.

Therefore, he also has a lot of research in the quantum field, and after seeing this most popular paper in the academic field recently, he did not pay much attention to the proof process of the Riemann hypothesis.

On the contrary, I was attracted by the research part of quantum mechanics in the middle, which seemed to open a new door to the quantum field.

Excited, he immediately sought out Puscore.

In contrast to his primary study of mathematics and computing, Puskore is a true physicist and quantum information scientist.

He has made important contributions to quantum computing and quantum entanglement theory.

He also proposed the quantum Hall effect and the concept of topological quantum computing, coining the world-famous term quantum supremacy.

When it comes to the study of the quantum realm, Krueger thinks that he is inferior.

At this point, Puskore saw the journal handed over by Kruger, and lost interest after noticing that the name of the journal was the Annals of Mathematics.

"It's just a paper in the Annals of Mathematics, and I don't think it's going to surprise me."

Kruger was clearly aware of Puskore's temper, and he was not angry at the answer.

On the contrary, he said rather mysteriously: "This is a paper that proves the Riemann hypothesis, the problem of the century in mathematics, and it also mentions quantum mechanics." ”

"The Riemann hypothesis?"

"Is that the genius mathematician who is not yet thirty years old?"

Rao is Puskore, who has devoted himself to research, and has heard of Xu Yun's name to some extent.

After learning that it was the proof process of Riemann's hypothesis and the quantum realm involved, I couldn't help but lower my eyes.

Speaking of which, he himself was very curious about Xu Yun, and he couldn't imagine that such a genius would be born in the world.

From the famous mathematics community to the present legend of him all over the world, it only took a few years in total.

This is an achievement that even he thinks he can't do.

It's nothing short of a miracle.

That is, the other party has not set foot in the quantum realm, otherwise his position in this field may not be guaranteed.

"Yes."

"You can start by looking at the quantum part of this paper." Kruger did not sell off the door and generously admitted.

Having said this, Puskore also became more and more interested, and immediately picked up the journal and looked at it carefully.

Seeing this scene, a satisfied smile appeared on Kruger's face, and he sat next to him and waited patiently.

He would be curious to see what Puscore would say.

Puskore apparently only read the quantum part of the paper, his expression first changed from initial calm to surprise, and then his face was full of shock, as if even his eyes had dropped to the journal.

There are many discoveries to be made.

In this way, about a few dozen minutes passed, and then Puskore reluctantly put down the journal.

There was a gleam in his eyes.

"I didn't expect this genius boy in the mathematical world to have such deep research in the quantum field."

"No wonder he was able to prove the Riemann hypothesis."

Puskore raised his gaze and said to Kruger, his words did not hide his admiration for Xu Yun at all.

Kruger was most concerned about the value of the quantum field content in the paper, and immediately asked, "Then does this paper help us?" ”

"In this paper, the other party mentioned a new theory, which may be able to speed up the research of quantum computing, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the world will start a new round of quantum supremacy." Puskore did not choose to hide Kruger's analysis in this matter, even though he said his analysis.

It's just that after these words reached Kruger's ears, the whole person looked extremely shocked.

Almost subconsciously, he exclaimed: "Are you saying that there is a possibility that the research of quantum computing will be greatly improved?" ”

Kruger had only thought that a paper that would prove Riemann's hypothesis would never be too ordinary, so he came to Puskore to confirm the situation, after all, he specializes in applied mathematics and computers.

But he never expected Puskore to give him such a big surprise directly.

In recent years, countries have been conducting research on quantum computing, hoping to build a real quantum computer to achieve quantum supremacy.

After all, quantum computing has a terrifying computing power that supercomputers can't match.

If it is applied to the development of science, then what is won is time.

It may take years and decades for someone else to calculate a problem, but quantum computing is instantaneous.

And the most intuitive result of this time lead is that it can bring about a big explosion of science and technology.

Let the development of human civilization embark on a fast road.

However, although the quantum computers researched by various parties have achieved results over the years, they cannot really be used for computing.

It simply does not achieve the effect of the so-called real quantum computer.

At present, because of Xu Yun's paper, it is very likely to make a breakthrough in the development of quantum computers, which is indeed shocking.

"At present, it is just bringing direction to the research of quantum computing, and whether it can be greatly improved needs to be verified in detail."

"I'm afraid that the other party's purpose is not limited to proving the Riemann hypothesis, and maybe we will soon have a terrifying opponent."

Puskore couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and was eager to carry out experiments for quantum verification.

So after dropping the sentence, he got up and walked outside.

Kruger was still standing still, still digesting the information he had just gotten.

……

It was not only Kruger and Puskore who discovered this situation, and soon the content of the paper on the quantum field completely caused a shock in the entire physics community.

Everyone knows what quantum computing will represent in the future, and the heat caused by the news can be imagined.

The key is to increase confidence in quantum research.

To this end, many quantum laboratories have announced increased investment, vowing to win in this new quantum supremacy competition.

However, it is precisely at this time that there are not many voices discussing new developments in the quantum field in China.

The reason for this is that after the time entered the end of July, the Academy of Sciences officially announced the list of new academicians.

At the same time, it was announced that an academician certificate ceremony and symposium would be held at the end of the month.

There are more than 60 new academicians, the oldest of whom is 68 years old.

He was less than 30 years old.

Yes.

The youngest academician since the establishment of the Academy of Sciences is none other than Xu Yun.

In the past, the first age of the list of new academicians was at least in their forties, but because of Xu Yun's existence this time, the list of new academicians was forced to be lowered.

But I have to say that although Xu Yun is the youngest among all people, even the photos look out of place with others.

But no one questioned it.

Everyone knows that even if others are not qualified, Xu Yun is truly deserved.

From solving two major problems in mathematics, to synthesizing new photoresists, developing plastic fluorocarbon polymer coating materials, and relying on the design of door frame robot armor to improve military strength.

Coupled with the realization of an independent high-end chip manufacturing industry chain, it proves the Riemann hypothesis of the century's problem.

It is no exaggeration to say that he has long been qualified to serve as an academician.

It's just a process.

If others want to be selected as academicians, in addition to the early declaration of the institution and university, they also need to go through multiple rounds of screening and evaluation.

And the first nomination could not be passed.

It is like he was directly hired by the Academy of Sciences, and the current dean Hou Shengchang personally facilitated.

is such a thing worth celebrating, and everyone is naturally happy for Xu Yun from the bottom of their hearts.

Especially those fans who have followed Xu Yun's account for a long time, seeing the people they like from master's and doctor's degrees to professors and academicians, they can't help but feel like they are playing a cultivation game.

This one thing alone has occupied the top few hot searches on major websites.

"Xu Yun was selected as an academician"

"List of New Academicians of the Academy of Sciences"

"Youngest Academician"

……

Click on a random topic, and the number of comments in the comment area is as high as tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

The key is that even if you look through the entire comment area, you can't find a single negative comment.

The whole comment section was full of harmony and excitement.

"As a little fan of Professor Xu, I have finally waited for this day to come."

"I'm going to call Academician Xu in the future."

"This is the youngest academician of the Academy of Sciences, alas, I'm afraid that no one will be able to break this record in the future, if it really sets a record, it is the highest holder of the record forever."

"I don't dare to imagine what a person more powerful than Academician Xu will be, I can only say that it is absolutely impossible."

"It can only be said that it is well deserved, and I look forward to Academician Xu bringing us more surprises in the future."

"Congratulations to Academician Xu, I'm so happy today."

When the news of Xu Yun's selection as an academician caused widespread discussion and was reported by major media, Deepin Technology also specially issued a special benefit to employees.

This is to celebrate the election of their boss as an academician.

In addition, the happy must belong to Pingzhou No. 3 Middle School, seeing that as a non-key high school in Pingzhou City, it has cultivated an academician, and also broke the record of the youngest academician, both the principal and the teachers of various subjects are undoubtedly very happy and proud.

In this case, the principal immediately arranged for a new banner and poster to be put up on the campus.

It is just the right opportunity to recruit students.

This move is naturally the envy of the first and second middle schools, but who let them not train academicians, so they can only stare and envy the good luck that the third middle school has.

In the end, even the junior high school and even elementary school that Xu Yun went to had reporters come to the door for interviews.

It can be seen that Xu Yun's successful selection as an academician this time almost caused a national sensation.
