Chapter 252: Polignac's conjecture was proved?
"Whoo~"
After writing down the last row of equations, Xu Qingzhou let out a long sigh and picked up the pink cup beside him to drink water. He discovered that although School Beauty Song usually looked cold and aloof, she actually had a girlish heart.
As soon as I finished drinking the water, I noticed that the mailbox in the lower right corner of the computer began to flash.
It was an email from Catherine. A professor at Johns Hopkins University in the United States announced that he had proved the Polignac conjecture.
"Has this really been preempted?"
After reading the news, Xu Qingzhou was a little surprised. This time it was different from the parallel import from India. The person who announced this was Professor George Stewart, who was well-known in the field of number theory.
Professor Stewart once improved Zhang Yitang's sieve method and published several papers on number theory.
Even Xu Qingzhou had read the paper in which he improved Zhang Yitang's screening method.
It would be a lie to say that I wasn't depressed when someone else finished the task I had been working on for a long time, but I was only a little depressed.
Xu Qingzhou had worked hard in his previous life, and what he gained, in addition to frequent urination and lumbar disc herniation, was a heart as steady as an old dog.
He first replied to Catherine's email, thanking her for sharing the information, and then carefully searched for related news.
After checking the information, Xu Qingzhou found that Professor Stewart has only announced the matter on Twitter and said that he has invited experts to conduct argumentation, but no more authoritative organization has come out to support it.
Even Johns Hopkins University said only that the school was conducting an inspection.
Oh~
Then there is no need to be depressed. It hasn’t been announced yet, so there is no need to panic.
Even if it is really proven, just keep calm and do other things.
He wanted to see Professor Stewart's proof process, but he knew he would have to wait for a while.
Xu Qingzhou smiled, took a deep breath, stopped reading the miscellaneous news, and lowered his head to continue his previous calculations.
However, at 2 ., he received a call from Professor Gu Zhizhong, asking him to go to his office.
There are only two people in the office: Gu Zhizhong and Su Kewei.
"Junior brother, have some tea." Su Kewei poured tea for Xu Qingzhou.
"Thank you, senior brother." Xu Qingzhou originally wanted to come by himself, but this senior brother Su was quite enthusiastic.
Su Kewei didn't think there was anything wrong with pouring tea for his junior fellow apprentice who was many years younger than him.
After all, isn't it your duty to pour tea for the boss?
Every time we meet, the halo around my junior brother’s head seems to grow larger.
Look, he is already the person in charge of a national fund project.
He couldn't help but think that when they first met, he seemed to want to give some pointers to this junior fellow apprentice.
sloppy.
Professor Gu Zhizhong asked: "Have you been paying attention to the news in the number theory circle recently?"
"Are you talking about what Professor Stewart announced yesterday that he had proved the conjecture?" Xu Qingzhou said.
"It seems you already know."
Gu Zhizhong nodded and said slowly, "I heard from an old friend who teaches at Johns Hopkins University that they have already organized experts to conduct demonstrations."
Gu Zhizhong called Xu Qingzhou over because he was actually a little worried that Xu Qingzhou's mentality would be affected.
Young people are full of energy. If they are suddenly poured with a bucket of cold water, they might get stuck in a rut.
Especially Xu Qingzhou, this kid broke through what he thought were two "south walls" in succession and everything went smoothly.
"Well, a friend from Cambridge University sent me an email this morning telling me about this. It was quite unexpected. I didn't expect someone to announce that they had proved it so quickly."
Xu Qingzhou took a sip of tea and felt a little emotional.
Professor Gu: "A bit unexpected?"
Xu Qingzhou nodded, paused, and added: "There is still pressure, I have to speed up here too."
Gu Zhizhong was stunned for a moment, staring at Xu Qingzhou's face, trying to see if this guy was showing off, but he realized that he was overthinking it. There was no sign of being hit on this guy's face. "Your mentality is better than mine. When I saw the news last night, I was worried that you would be hit, but now it seems that I was worrying too much."
Xu Qingzhou shrugged: "It's just an announcement of proof, and we haven't even conducted any demonstration yet. Even if the other party succeeds, my demonstration is not meaningless to a certain extent. What if we find a new way?"
Next door, Su Kewei, who had been eavesdropping, had a solemn expression on his face. He was indeed a junior fellow student. In one word: steady!
Gu Zhizhong nodded and said, "The progress of science is never a single-handed victory, but a feat of standing on the shoulders of giants. The emergence of an achievement is the honor of one person, but it is also the blossoming of the accumulated wisdom of countless people."
"So, even if someone proves the Polignac conjecture first, your contribution is still there. After all, you proved the twin prime conjecture first."
Xu Qingzhou smiled and nodded.
Knowing that Xu Qingzhou was in a good mood, Professor Gu Zhizhong was relieved. He drank his tea and said in a casual tone, "I heard from that old man, Lao Zhao, that he wants you to come over and help with the calculations again?"
"Yes, help with data analysis."
"Hmph, he knows how to order people around. He comes to find you even though he knows you're busy." Gu Zhizhong snorted coldly.
Xu Qingzhou smiled and said, "I'll just go over and help a little. It won't waste much time."
"Unfortunately, I have nothing left to teach you in the field of number theory." Gu Zhizhong sighed.
Xu Qingzhou said seriously: "Professor, you have helped me a lot."
"You don't know anything else but to flatter others."
Gu Zhizhong cursed with a smile, but even though he cursed, he couldn't hide the pride on his face.
"However, your progress is amazing. Last year, Lao Jiao and I were still sighing with admiration. With you here, Beijing University will definitely stand out in both the national and American competitions."
"Now it seems that you have to find someone else. It's meaningless to you. It's a waste of time and it gives people a feeling of bullying."
Any of Xu Qingzhou’s current titles is more important than these math competitions.
Xu Qingzhou also smiled and nodded: "Let's leave the opportunity to participate in the competition to others."
After saying everything that needed to be said, Professor Gu waved his hand and said, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Go and get busy."
Xu Qingzhou drank a cup of tea, said goodbye and left without staying any longer.
He was indeed not affected. Everything went according to plan. He worked on Polignac's conjecture and constructed a mathematical model of the battery. He even went to the Quantum Research Institute the next day.
After the device receives the entangled photon pair, the data needs to be processed and analyzed efficiently and accurately, which generally involves mathematical tools such as statistical models, signal processing technology and quantum information theory.
Professor Chang Ciyuan is in charge of this area, but the calculations are a bit difficult. The computing team led by Professor Zhong is in a critical period, busy coupling the mathematical models of quantum states and entangled states with the previous attitude control model and free space loss model.
No manpower is available.
So everyone thought of Xu Qingzhou.
The current main task is to describe the statistical characteristics and noise distribution of the data by establishing a mathematical model. It is necessary to design effective signal processing algorithms and data analysis methods to extract useful quantum information.
Xu Qingzhou is responsible for working on the decoding algorithm. Simply put, it is to implement an efficient decoding algorithm based on quantum error correction codes to recover the quantum information destroyed during the transmission process.
So Xu Qingzhou was so busy that he took off immediately.
I recommend this novel, it is a masterpiece by an excellent author. Book lovers can take a look if they are interested.
"After rebirth, I have the advantage in love!"
"I have never spent my youth with anyone, and from now on I will only love people who have loved others."
"Money can't buy the light that flickered in her eyes when she looked up at her lover that summer."
So Lin Shang was reborn.
Going back to 2014, he, who has already stepped into the deep pit of regrets in his youth, knows very well: when he can hold hands with his first love, he must not just stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
Oh yes, I forgot to say, first love is first love, white moonlight is white moonlight, they are different.
