Chapter 253 The paper is published! (13)
Professor Perlmutter, a senior member of the Physical Society, had another busy day.
Although he is a member of the Physical Society, he is also a tenured professor at the University of California, Berkeley. He has a high status in the field of quantum mechanics, especially in the field of quantum states and measurement theory, where he can be said to be a master.
at this time
There was a knock on his office door. The knock was very urgent. As the door opened, a young woman rushed in. It was his usual assistant.
"professor!"
"A new paper appeared on arXiv, uploaded by Professor Chen Xiaoxin!" the assistant said anxiously.
"New paper?"
Professor Perlmutter immediately became interested and asked curiously, "What kind of research is it about?"
The assistant shook his head and replied helplessly: "Sorry, Professor, I don't know the specific content of this new paper yet. He locked the paper. I only know that the title of the paper is about the general properties of wave function collapse."
"Wave"
“Wave function collapse?”
Professor Perlmutter was stunned, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.
He is studying the collapse of wave functions? But the collapse of wave functions is just a physical concept, a process that cannot be observed. Could it be that he has concretized this process? If so, my God! This is simply unimaginable!
However, although he was shocked, considering the actual situation, Professor Perlmutter did not have high expectations. It might be just a study of a certain aspect of the wave function collapse problem, not an exploration of the entire process. After all, the collapse of the wave function does not satisfy any equation and cannot be described by mathematics.
After the assistant left, Professor Perlmutter was still obsessed with the content of the paper. What exactly did he study?
After a moment's hesitation,
Mo Mo called his old friend, the bearded professor at Princeton.
"Steve!"
"Please help me contact Chen Xiaoxin. I want to know what he posted on arXiv." Professor Perlmutter said anxiously.
"I'll give you his contact information, you can find him yourself," said Steve.
"Alright."
Perlmutter replied: "Hurry up then! I'm in a hurry!"
After hanging up the phone, he received Chen Xiaoxin's email address shortly afterwards. Professor Perlmutter sent the email immediately and then looked at the time. According to the time difference, it should be around eight o'clock in the evening on the other end.
Um.
As a young man, he shouldn't go to bed so early.
as predicted,
I received a reply from Chen Xiaoxin very quickly.
[Hello, Professor Perlmutter. Regarding my paper on arXiv, it is about the problem of wave function collapse process. On my way to Germany to attend an academic conference, I suddenly had a very wonderful idea, and then I concretized this idea. This is an interesting wave function collapse process model that can explain the collapse process clearly.]
[This theoretical model is based on the objective collapse theory, but the objective collapse theory cannot explain the whole process in detail because it lacks the situation of particles with exactly the same intrinsic properties. My work is to add the CY supersymmetry theory to it.]
[I don't have any experimental data yet, but according to my theoretical calculations, I personally feel there is no problem. As for how to experiment, considering the characteristics of wave function collapse, we can only use indirect observation. When a quantum object is charged, the constant vibration and acceleration caused by this Brownian motion means that it will emit radiation! Then we can monitor the radiation.]
After reading the contents of the email, Professor Perlmutter stood up suddenly, his brows full of sudden shock and disbelief.
"Oh my God!"
"Incredible!"
"This is incredible!"
Professor Perlmutter had been frightened by the young man on the other side of the sea. The idea alone was terrifying enough, but he actually realized this idea. If the experiment really verifies his theoretical model, this would definitely be a result of changing the rules of physics!
Wave function collapse is a very important phenomenon in quantum mechanics. It is not only one of the basic assumptions of quantum mechanics, but also plays a very critical role in quantum computing, quantum communication and other fields. If the authenticity of wave function collapse is confirmed, it will bring unimaginable progress to the world!
After a moment's hesitation,
Professor Perlmutter called in his colleagues who also had outstanding achievements in the field of quantum mechanics.
"Old boy!"
"Come to my office quickly, I have something to tell you!" Professor Perlmutter said earnestly.
moment,
A professor about his age came in.
"Dennis!"
When Perlmutter met him, he said excitedly: "There is a new paper from Chen Xiaoxin on arXiv. I just asked him about the content of this paper and it is about the process of wave function collapse!"
"Varied"
"what!"
"The problem of the wave function collapse process?"
Like everyone else, Professor Dennis immediately lost his composure after hearing these words.
"Yes."
"But unfortunately, he did not disclose the specific content of the paper. I asked him separately." Perlmutter paused and continued, "He told me that this new theoretical model is based on the objective collapse theory, but the content has been completely changed, including the addition of his CY supersymmetry theory." "As for the role of this CY supersymmetry theory, it is because the original objective collapse theory cannot solve the situation of particles with exactly the same intrinsic properties. In addition, he also told me related experimental ideas."
Perlmutter took a deep breath and said with emotion: "If... I mean if it is verified to be correct, the entire structure of physics will be completely rewritten!"
"indeed."
Dennis nodded repeatedly: "Although the current wave function collapse is still a confusing and confusing concept, it provides a theoretical basis for explaining the strange phenomena in the quantum world. If this theoretical basis can be concretized, there are simply too many things that can be done!"
The words fell,
Looking at Perlmutter across from him, he asked quietly, "Can you ask him about the specific contents?"
"never mind."
"Since he didn't choose to make it public, there must be some reason," Perlmutter replied, "and such an abrupt request would cause strong resentment from the other party."
"Too."
Dennis's face was full of loss, with a hint of bitterness in his regret.
A world-class research result is right in front of us, but it is locked in a box, and there is no key to open the box. This hysterical and helpless emotion can almost devour a person's rationality.
The paper Chen Xiaoxin published on arXiv caused a huge sensation in the entire physics field. Countless physicists were guessing what the content of the paper was. However, he didn't care at all and drove his Ferrari to work with the beautiful and smart girl.
There are almost no people in the school. All the students have gone home for the New Year. The whole Fudan University is deserted. Of course, some particularly competitive graduate students choose to stay in school for the New Year. Most of them are doctoral students. Not only are they particularly competitive, but they also choose to stay home for blind dates.
After the two of them walked around the school, they drove back silently. When they returned to Chen Xiaoxin's home again, the groundhog suddenly became horny, jumped onto him, hugged his neck tightly with its arms, and clamped its waist with its short legs.
“I’m leaving in two days.”
Yan Xiaoxi pouted and said reluctantly, "Stupid, can you come back with me?"
"I have to go on duty."
Chen Xiaoxin said helplessly: "There are still many graduate students in the Department of Physics staying in school. Director Wu wanted me to take over for two days and tutor those students who are involuntarily. I had no choice but to agree."
Many people think that professors have a leisurely life, but in fact they are very busy, and some even work almost without a break all year round. In the words of Peking University, if a teacher has the time and interest to watch the Spring Festival Gala, he or she does not deserve to be in Peking University!
Moreover, the field of scientific research is a very competitive field. This competition is not ordinary competition. As long as you relax a little, others will step over you.
"never mind."
Yan Xiaoxi pouted and said angrily, "That's it."
"how?"
"Are you unhappy?"
Chen Xiaoxin said with a smile: "After all, we are all from Fudan University. We must obey the organization's arrangements. Come on, come on, good brother will kiss you."
As soon as the words fell,
Chen Xiaoxin sucked her mouth, and the next second, the offense and defense were switched.
“Has your paper been made public?”
Yan Xiaoxi lay in his arms, with someone's clothes on the ground. The horny groundhog's pretty face was flushed, and her fingers were drawing circles on her chest one after another.
"not yet."
“I’m thinking about whether to make it public.”
Chen Xiaoxin's lips were swollen from being kissed, and there were a few faint scratches on his body. He answered bitterly: "Many people came to me, hoping to read the content of the article, but I'm a little scared. What if the theory is wrong?"
“Einstein was sometimes wrong.”
"how?"
“Are you better than Einstein?”
Yan Xiaoxi twisted her body to adjust to the most comfortable position, and said delicately: "I don't think there is any problem. In my eyes, you are the most powerful person in the world."
think carefully
There is nothing wrong with making it public.
Even if there are flaws in the theory, no one will say anything. After all, the collapse of the wave function is extremely difficult, and it is natural that one cannot solve it.
Or make it public?
etc.
I still need to publish an article to tell others how to do the experiment!
Somewhere in California.
Perlmutter was about to fall asleep when the phone rang. He looked at the caller's note and saw that it was from his assistant.
"professor!"
"It's out in the open! It's out in the open!"
“That paper is public!!!”
I'm late again. The cat is a sinner Orz (fuck the cat's butt)
