Professor Kopet's scientific research team also had to face the dilemma of disbandment.

In German universities, every scientific research team is initiated by an academic leader. Once the academic leader is no longer there, it is basically inevitable that it will be disbanded or merged into other research teams. As for the Coppet team, it is still there for the time being.

No relevant notice of dissolution was received, probably because the University of Munich was concerned that there were two foreign Fields Medalists in the team, and it was a cross-border cooperation project, so it handled it more cautiously.

The most obvious evidence is that when Qin Ke took Ning Qingyun into the nearby ward, Joachim Huber, Vice President of the University of Munich, who had been notified in advance, was already waiting on the bench at the door, accompanied by the two

People entered the ward to visit Professor Koppet.

Because Professor Coppet was still sleeping, Qin Ke and others did not disturb his rest, and exited the ward together.

Joachim Huber said politely: "Professor Qin, Professor Ning, let's go for a walk outside?"

Qin Ke had already guessed the topic he wanted to talk about, and he was afraid it was related to the disbandment of Professor Coppet's team.

Sure enough, when Joachim Huber arrived at a quiet place in the hospital, he said straight to the point: "Professor Qin, Professor Ning, I regret to inform you that Professor Koppet's physical condition can no longer support the research work of the team.

After careful consideration by our school, we have decided to disband Professor Kopet’s research team with immediate effect, and the original research project will be officially terminated.”

Seeing that Qin Ke didn't speak, he sighed again: "I know you have put a lot of effort into this subject. Professor Coppet even encountered such an unfortunate thing in order to complete this subject. But according to our latest news, John from the University of California

·Professor Krauser’s team is likely to make major breakthroughs in scientific research topics in similar directions within this year, while Professor Koppett’s team is lagging too far behind on this topic and now lacks academic leaders who can step up.

, there is really no need to continue, it will only be a waste of time, energy and money."

Qin Ke nodded silently, he could understand the decision of the University of Munich.

Academics are sometimes so cruel. Once one party completes theoretical research in the same direction or a similar direction first, the research results of other teams will become meaningless.

Just like Qin Ke proved the Riemann Hypothesis, the efforts of countless mathematicians in the world were turned into blank paper.

The "Topological Quantum Computing" project conducted by Professor Koppet is also more of a theoretical level than a practical scientific level. It does not involve patented technology. Once someone has proposed similar and excellent theoretical results, unless

Professor Koppet can come up with more differentiated and better results, otherwise continuing will only be in vain. At most, he can only verify that other people's results are correct and contribute to the glory of others.

After all, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are foreign scholars and will not come to the University of Munich to teach. Naturally, it is impossible for the University of Munich to assign the status of project leaders belonging to the university to them.

After comprehensive consideration, directly terminating this project and disbanding Professor Kopet's research team became the optimal stop-loss plan.

"Professor Qin, I also know that this topic is related to the transnational cooperation contract stipulated in the Humboldt Research Award. Our school is willing to issue a final report with an 'excellent' evaluation and help you submit it to the Humboldt Foundation. In this way, you have fulfilled your obligations."

We have reached an agreement with the Humboldt Foundation. Of course, we also welcome you and Professor Ning to continue to participate in other projects in our school. Our school is happy to cooperate with these two students on any mathematics and physics projects currently being carried out.

to engage in in-depth cooperation.”

Qin Ke shook his head. He really had no intention of cooperating with the University of Munich now. Such cross-border cooperation was still inconvenient. Qin Ke was even more unwilling to leave the fate of the project to others to control like this. He declined politely: "Thank you.

Mr. Huber, I’m just sorry that we don’t want to cooperate with scholars other than Professor Coppet at the moment.”

"That's a shame. If you change your mind, you can contact me at any time. Here is my business card."

As the Vice-President of the University of Munich, Joachim Huber is also a very busy man. He took so long to wait and accompany Qin Ke to speak, and to explain himself was a great honor to these two Fields Medal winners.

When the conversation ended, he shook hands with Qin Ke again and said goodbye.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun did not return to Professor Coppet's ward immediately, but continued walking in the square outside the hospital.

It is mid-August now. Compared to the summer capital, which is extremely hot at this time, Munich, Germany, is only about 20 degrees Celsius. The temperature is very comfortable. The sun is shining warmly above the head, and you can still see it in the square.

Wandering musicians were playing and singing, children were running and playing with balloons, and several couples squatted down to feed the white pigeons in the square.

Ning Qingyun held Qin Ke's hand tightly and said with some reluctance: "Is this the end of the topic of topological quantum computing?"

Her research on quantum mechanics is not very deep, but she has been following this topic since March last year. In order to better optimize the mathematical model, she and Qin Ke have put in countless efforts and spent a lot of money.

Spend time and energy learning relevant theories.

Now that this project was suddenly about to be terminated, she felt a sense of regret that all her hard work had been wasted.

Thinking of Professor Coppet who was still lying in the ward, the girl felt even more sad and sad that her collective hard work had been wasted.

"It won't end like this." Qin Ke stopped, looked up at a white dove flying high, and said firmly: "Whether it's for Professor Coppet or for our own hard work, this

We will continue with the project. But it won’t be in the country anymore, I plan to change it to the country!”

"Shall we proceed on our own?" Ning Qingyun asked in surprise.

"Yes. Do you still remember the supplementary agreement we signed with the University of Munich?"

"Supplementary agreement..." Ning Qingyun's eyes lit up again.

This "topological quantum computing" topic is a theoretical topic of transnational cooperation. According to the initial agreement, the theoretical results of the topic were shared by Professor Kopet, representing the University of Munich, and Qin Ke.

But later, Professor Koppet realized the important role of Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun’s mathematical modeling in the team. In order to make the two people have a better willingness to cooperate and devote more energy to this cooperation topic, he asked the school to

After agreeing, on behalf of the University of Munich, he signed a supplementary agreement with Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun.

According to this supplementary agreement, after the theoretical results of the project are formed into a paper in the future, the first authors will be Roger Coppet, Qin Ke, and Ning Qingjun, and the results will be shared by the three of them.

Now that the University of Munich has disbanded Professor Koppet's team and terminated this project, it is equivalent to automatically giving up the relevant rights. Theoretically, Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun can continue this research on their own with all the team's current research results.

.

However, the information currently in Qin Ke's hands is not complete, and the complete information on the subject is in the hands of Professor Kopet.
