Chapter 205 Graduation Plan!

The Yanbei University campus looks empty during the summer vacation. Since security has been strengthened and tourists need to make reservations to enter, the tourists during the winter and summer vacations cannot compare with the scene during classes.
In fact, there are still many postgraduate students staying at the school.
Here’s a little trivia: In super universities like Huaqing and Yanbei, there are actually more graduate students who have become desensitized to winter and summer vacations than ordinary undergraduates.
In fact, many graduate students stay on campus during the winter and summer vacations every year. This is why the libraries of super universities are open even during the winter and summer vacations.
It's just that most of these graduate students are not as free as undergraduates. For example, like Brother Liu Hao, who spends time in the laboratory every day and has some personal time, the inevitable choice is to go back to the dormitory to rest and sleep for three or five days, and there is no time at all.
Wandering outside campus.
There are actually many graduate students like Brother Liu Hao.
Everyday life consists of either checking documents and reading materials in the library, or working hard for one's future in the laboratory.
The huge pressure on scientific research is the main culprit behind the somewhat deserted campus.
When Qiao Yu helped Liu Hao do material calculations, he actually had many misunderstandings about this kind of engineering research.
For example, many laboratory results may come from a sudden flash of inspiration or a laboratory accident.
This stereotype comes from his childhood education and his personal experience.
For example, when Newton saw an apple falling from a tree, he thought of gravity. After communicating with Zhang Yuantang, he thought of the generalized modal axiom system...
Another example is that when Fleming was studying Staphylococcus aureus, a petri dish was accidentally contaminated by Penicillium and he invented penicillin.
But after getting in touch with Liu Hao, Qiao Yu discovered that most of the scientific research results were actually achieved through boring and cumbersome repetitions day after day, year after year.
New materials, gene editing, various physical experiments, and even new rockets, moon landing projects...
The meticulous study of each small data point, the accumulation of fine-tuned experimental conditions each time, and countless boring repetitions can finally create a classic.
This sounds very curly, but Qiao Yu feels that the direction of the roll is wrong, which is not called curly, but useless effort.
So we may need a new method of rolling. As long as we rely on the people around him to continue to produce new results, neither Director Tian nor Mr. Yuan will always feel that he is not doing anything...
The teacher who taught Marxism-Leninism said that at the current historical stage, mathematical research should still serve the purpose of application as much as possible.
Qiao Yu thought so.
The most important thing is that Qiao Yu also understands that if he can achieve the ultimate in mathematical theory, he can become a great mathematician known to the world. Maybe he can also be a prominent figure in the world of theoretical mathematics.
It's cool to think about it, but it doesn't mean much.
If pure mathematics research as a basic subject is not transformed into practical applications, there will actually not be much funding.
Of course, this does not mean that pure mathematical research will be looked down upon because it cannot create many economic benefits. The main reason is that this thing only consumes brain cells.
Unlike physics, chemistry, and engineering, just setting up a laboratory requires hundreds of millions of investment.
The total investment in CERN's LHC collider is tens of billions of euros. The key is that the construction of this thing only started in the 1990s.
And the money at that time was far more valuable than it is now.
Therefore, Qiao Yu's promise to Zheng Xiwen was very sincere.

Back at school, Zheng Xiwen had already contacted Tian Yanzhen and went straight to the office building of Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center.
Just as Qiao Yu expected, after meeting Director Tian, ​​he received several rolls of eyes.
Then Lao Zheng and Lao Tian were polite.
The main thing is that Lao Tian expressed his gratitude to Lao Zheng. Zheng Xiwen took Zhang Mingyu to follow Qiao Yu for more than a month. He really took the trouble.
Then Zheng Xiwen said goodbye to him and turned around and left.
"Did you have fun returning to Star City this time?" Tian Yanzhen asked when only two people were left.
"Hey, don't mention it. It just feels like time flies. Before I even get to experience anything, my vacation is gone!"
Qiao Yu sighed with a sad face.
"How about I give you another month's leave? You go back and have a good relationship before you come back? Don't you think about it, is it the time to fall in love at this age?"
Tian Yanzhen scolded Qiao Yu casually.
"No, Director Tian, ​​if I don't fall in love at my age, should I wait until I'm in my twenties to fall in love when I'm about to get results? Or should I do it in my thirties when I'm doing scientific research?
Well, you can't let me fall in love again when I'm your age, right? After all, at your age, you have to think about how to raise students, hey... tell me, why is falling in love so troublesome in this life?
."
After listening to Qiao Yu's ramble, Tian Yanzhen was not annoyed at all, but smiled.
He simply leaned back on the office chair, looked directly at Qiao Yu and said with a smile: "It seems that I still have to win an award. Now that I have become a Fields Medal winner, my confidence in speaking will be different."
"Hey, Director Tian, ​​let's see what you said. I won the prize because of your teachings? This is what I call a balance between work and rest. You can't let the string in my brain be tense all the time, right?"
After saying that, Qiao Yu eagerly expressed his determination to do scientific research seriously in the future.
"To tell you the truth, I have already thought about it when I come back this time. I want to form a team, apply for a big project, and then call on and lead the team to work hard for a whole semester."
Tian Yanzhen narrowed his eyes slightly and asked: "The high-dimensional unity of the spectral distribution of the random matrix and the modal path?"
"Huh? Director Tian, ​​how did you know? You didn't go to the salon that day."
Tian Yanzhen glanced at Qiao Yu and said, "Your senior brother Chen reported to me. He said that you should remember to remind you if you asked him to go back."
"Haha, well, that's not all. In fact, the theoretical derivation is not a big problem. What I want to do is the quantum state simulation of classical electronic calculations. I have thought about it. The modal path and the modal density function can simplify the calculation of high-level random matrices.
Understanding of dimensional evolution.
I plan to design a system that allows supercomputers to simulate large-scale complex quantum systems based on the modal system. It can run Shor's algorithm, Grover's algorithm, quantum graph traversal, etc. on classical supercomputers without any obstacles. By the way, it can also develop more
Classical quantum algorithms.”
Qiao Yu said enthusiastically.
Tian Yanzhen frowned slightly and asked: "I don't know much about quantum computing. But as far as I know, Shor's algorithm requires very high precision in quantum state operations. Do you think the hardware of classical electronic supercomputing can really
Perfect simulation?”
Qiao Yu pointed at himself and said: "Director Tian, ​​in the first half of the year I said I could solve the Riemann Hypothesis, but people thought I couldn't! They even rejected my project! Last year I said I wanted to build a modal axiom system, and everyone thought I was not good at it!
I can't.
You see, all the people who doubted me finally proved that they have no vision! Although this project was not what I thought of. But I listened to the explanations of those who have studied for a long time, and read so much information, and judged
I still know very well whether a project is successful or not.
In fact, those guys themselves have been using random matrices to study the statistical properties of high-dimensional state distributions. If the spectral distribution of random matrices is transformed using modal paths, the description and evolution calculation of high-dimensional quantum states can be simplified.
Then, by extracting the global characteristics of the high-dimensional quantum state through the modal density function, we can avoid accurate simulation of state by state and bit by bit. In addition, I can also design more suitable mathematical tools through generalized modal space. For example, the modal decomposition operator
,Modal spectrum analysis, modal topology mapping...
In short, if you don’t believe anyone, you have to believe me! In short, the future I can see is that as long as this project is applied for, we can completely change the future of quantum computing.”
Tian Yanzhen subconsciously picked up the pen and started spinning it unconsciously. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "Have you considered what experts are needed to be a team for this project?"
Qiao Yu opened his mouth and said: "It is best for the core team to have two experts in quantum algorithms, a senior quantum physics expert, and two to three engineers who are familiar with supercomputing architecture.
As for non-core members, they are people who do some statistics and parameter adjustment, the more the better. But I think if the core team is all professors from Yanbei University, then their students should be enough.
Of course, the core member is me. All mathematical problems are handled by me. The specific results and possible economic benefits will be distributed according to their respective contributions."
Tian Yanzhen was probably sure that Qiao Yu really wasn't focusing on falling in love during this period.
This is because the entire project plan has been thought out. This guy is already thinking about how to divide the results...
"You distribute the results and economic benefits? If you apply for the Natural Science Fund, the transformation or commercialization of the project results requires the approval of the Fund Committee! It also requires the approval of the unit!
If there is really an economic effect, there are regulations on how to distribute the benefits! It is not your turn to distribute according to your contribution! And if the Shor algorithm can be run efficiently, then it is not a matter of commercial value!"
Tian Yanzhen said with profound meaning.
Although he has not studied quantum systems, Tian Yanzhen still has an understanding of the famous Shor algorithm.
This stuff can be said to directly involve the country’s core technological competitiveness, and even national-level financial security.
Even if it can be approved for use, special safety management agencies will inevitably intervene.
Qiao Yu nodded and replied with an upright face: "I know! I also specifically checked the "Law for Promoting the Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements". After the results have commercialized benefits, the unit should use no less than 50% for rewarding research.
Team and individual.
The contribution I am talking about is an internal contribution that I decide. As for the particularity of the Shor algorithm, I have also considered it. Where there are contradictions, there are contradictions. The algorithm experts needed in the team are to design new algorithms that can be used in the era of efficient operation of the Shor algorithm.
An encryption algorithm that can ensure information security.
For business transformation, we can make money not by relying on quantum simulation systems, but by using new encryption algorithms. The education I received since childhood told me that I must not be a destroyer of the financial order, but a guardian!"
Tian Yanzhen's powerful speech made it difficult to evaluate.
To be honest, he didn't want Qiao Yu to do such a dangerous project at such a young age.
Yes, at least in Tian Yanzhen's opinion, this project is actually very risky. Even the risk of success is greater than failure.
The reason is actually the same as when he didn't want Qiao Yu to directly join the moon landing project.
Once such a project is successfully established and achieves phased results, I am afraid that all team members will be monitored, let alone the project initiator.
By then, I'm afraid Qiao Yu will really have no chance to go out and have any face-to-face communication.
But thinking that Qiao Yu had even won the Fields Medal, Tian Yanzhen felt that the things he cared about didn't seem to matter anymore.
With Qiao Yu's current appeal, he can't get out, so inviting people in is actually the same. As for academic exchanges, it doesn't matter even if they are monitored.
And if this project really succeeds, no one can challenge the Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center’s position in the Chinese mathematics community.
The important thing is that he also saw that Qiao Yu was serious about pursuing this project.
"Okay, you can prepare the project application form yourself, and I won't care about you. The main purpose of urging you to come back this time is to deal with your graduation. You can go to the next application form for early graduation.
Fill it out today and send it online to the Academic Affairs Office, who will also speed up the process for you. This week, you will receive your undergraduate diploma and degree certificate first. After receiving them, stop by Huaqing to register.
Haven't you already announced that you will be able to solve the Riemann Hypothesis with a new method within this year? When that paper comes out, it will be your doctoral thesis.
If this paper cannot be published within this year, then file your paper published in the "Annals of Mathematics" before March next year as your doctoral thesis.
When you complete your PhD defense and graduate, the Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center will appoint you as a professor, senior level. By the way, this is not a discussion with you, it is already determined."
Qiao Yu looked at Director Tian in confusion.
Qiao Yu knew that he wanted him to graduate quickly. After all, that was the reason why he came back.
He can understand it too.
But we agreed to study for a master's degree and a Ph.D....
Graduation in half a year?
Is the instructor fooling the devil?
"Well, Director Tian, ​​I can understand that you need to graduate quickly with your bachelor's degree. But isn't this PhD graduation too hasty? Speaking of which, whether it is Yanbei University or Huaqing University, aren't the requirements for PhD graduation very strict?
I have never heard of anyone graduating with just one thesis. Will this affect the rigorous academic reputation of the two schools? Director Tian, ​​you should think twice!"
Tian Yanzhen glanced at Qiao Yu and was very angry at this guy.
"Please tell me. Does it affect your academic reputation if you graduate with a Ph.D.? It affects your academic reputation if you stay in school as a student.
When I went to attend a conference this time, Mr. Yuan and I were teased every day. When did it become so difficult for us at Yanbei and Huaqing to graduate? If you solve the Riemann Hypothesis, you won't be allowed to graduate.
What do you want me to say? Are the undergraduate education systems at Yanbei and Huaqing comparable to the doctoral training systems at Harvard and Princeton? Or do you just want to be an undergraduate?
The newly minted Fields Medal winner is just a college student or graduate student in China, do you think Yanbei and Huaqing are quite honorable when word spreads about it?"
Qiao Yu muttered: "No, Director Tian, ​​why do you care what outsiders say? They are jealous that Yanbei and Huaqing are about to surpass them and become the world's top universities."
Tian Yanzhen smiled even happier and replied: "Okay, let's not talk about what the foreign professors said. You just said that you are going to apply for a big project and you will be responsible for it.
So, may I ask, in what capacity do you plan to lead this major project? In the past, it didn’t matter that when you applied for the project, you only found professors from our Yanbei School of Mathematics.
But once a project like yours is established, we may not necessarily appoint the candidates. In other words, the candidates you recommend may not be hired. Then you will lead the project as a student?
What do you want people to think? And don’t use minors as an issue. In either case, it will be the end of February or March next year by the time you complete your doctoral defense. You are already over 18 years old and an adult.
It’s time to graduate!”
Hearing these words become more and more decisive the further they were spoken, leaving no room for argument, Qiao Yu knew that Director Tian and Mr. Yuan had reached a consensus on this matter.
So he immediately agreed: "Well, I understand. I'll go back and prepare right away, and Senior Brother Chen will also give me some urging. By the way, what about my undergraduate thesis? One week is not enough."
Tian Yanzhen waved his hand and said: "You don't need to go online for your undergraduate thesis, so you don't need to write it. You can graduate directly. If anyone wants to ask, just say that your Fields Medal acceptance speech is your undergraduate graduation thesis. If you have any comments, please let me know.
They went to complain."
Qiao Yu raised his hand without hesitation, pointed out a thumbs up, and flattered: "Director Tian is so powerful and domineering!"
"Okay, the youngest Fields Medal winner in history. Hurry up and fill out the application form, and then take a good rest. Next, we will see how far you can grow."
Tian Yanzhen sighed with emotion.
Every time he saw Qiao Yu talking nonsense in front of him with great energy, it always made him realize that he was really old...
But before he finished his emotion, he found that Qiao Yu was still standing there without moving. He couldn't help but wonder: "What? Are you still busy?"
Qiao Yu smiled coyly, and then reminded: "Director Tian, ​​did you forget something?"
As he spoke, he nodded in the direction of the bookcase behind Tian Yanzhen.
Tian Yanzhen frowned and said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just say it and don't do such petty tricks."
Qiao Yu said in shock: "Isn't it? Director Tian, ​​you have forgotten? We agreed before that when I graduate, you will give me all the books in the bookcase!"
Tian Yanzhen frowned and thought for a while, then frowned even more...
He really said this!
That was when Qiao Yu first came to Yanbei, but Qiao Yu, who was only fifteen years old at the time, was so cute!
He devoted himself to learning and took the initiative to report problems to him. He didn't need to worry about it at all, and he always gave him some surprises from time to time.
But like now, there are so many evil ideas, which makes him feel that he is unable to guard against them.
Sure enough, children were cute when they were little.
The most important thing is that many of the books in his cabinet are his lifelong efforts, and there are many annotations on them. It is really hard to bear to give them all away suddenly...
Even the close disciple he liked the most and gave him the most face.
"that……"
"Well, Director Tian, ​​you don't mean to keep your word, do you? No, who is you, Director Tian? You definitely won't! In that case, I will find someone and a car to move the books later."
"Do you have room to put these books? Your dormitory is so small. If you don't keep them properly, it would be bad if you don't damage these books."
Tian Yanzhen frowned and asked.
"Don't worry, Director Tian, ​​I plan to move to Huaqing. Doesn't my mother have two bedrooms and one living room there? There is room for a big bookcase!
My mother is also a book lover. With her reading it with me, you can rest assured, right? I will tell you the password to the lock at home, and you can go to Huaqing to read these books at any time."
Well, very good, this is watertight, everything has been thought out.
Chapter completed!
