There are many academic exchange meetings from the end of the year to the Spring Festival. Among them, the year-end summary and academic exchange meetings held by several major societies such as the Mathematics Society, the Physics Society, the Chemistry Society, the Biology Society, etc. are the most famous and the most popular.

Qin Ke is acquainted with the presidents of these societies. He can refuse other academic exchange meetings, but he cannot refuse meetings with the Mathematics Society, Physics Society, and Biology Society.

Starting from December 29, the Xia Physics Society will hold a three-day academic exchange meeting. Looking at the introduction in the invitation letter, there will be more than 3,000 experts and scholars from universities, research institutes, and cooperative enterprises across the country.

The conference will conduct exchanges in the form of specially invited special reports, branch invitation reports, oral reports and poster reports, and will hold a number of important events, including the announcement of this year's "Physical Society Physics Award" and the award ceremony.

The Physics Award of the Physical Society was established to reward Xia nationality physicists who have made outstanding contributions to science and technology in developing Xia Physics. They are all named after five late great physicists in Xia Physics.

There are five awards named after the award, which are only awarded every two years.

These five awards are the "Ye Qisun Physics Award" selected from the direction of condensed matter physics, the "Rao Yutai Physics Award" selected from the direction of optics, acoustics, atomic and molecular physics, the "Wu Youxun Physics Award" selected from the direction of atomic nuclear physics, and

The "Wang Ganchang Physics Award" is awarded in the direction of particle physics and inertial confinement nuclear fusion, and the "Hu Gangfu Physics Award" is awarded in the direction of experimental technology.

The status of these five awards in the Xia Guo physics community is equivalent to the "Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award" in the Xia Guo mathematics community. As long as you can win one of these five awards, you can almost quickly become a well-known scholar in the corresponding field of physics.

Because there are only one or two winners for each award, the competition in each session is extremely fierce.

In addition, there is the "Physical Society Lifetime Contribution Award", which has a similar status to the "Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award" in the mathematics field. It is awarded to those over fifty years old, with high moral standing, outstanding academic and research achievements, and outstanding contributions to the Xiaguo physics community.

The older generation of physicists, Qin Ke’s teacher Jiang Weixian, and the very familiar Academician Guo Weiyang have all won this award.

In previous years, both Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were considered newcomers to the physics community. In addition, they had many affairs and had only occasionally participated in the year-end lectures of the Mathematical Society. This was their first time participating in the academic exchange meeting of the Physical Society.

Today is Saturday, December 29th, the first day of the meeting.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun sat in Fang Yongtang's car and headed to the venue.

Today's weather is barely passable. Although the sky is a bit gloomy and the north wind is strong, it doesn't snow anymore. It seems that it may not snow today. There are obviously more people traveling on the streets of Beijing, which makes the number of cars on the road

The traffic volume has also increased a lot, and almost every traffic light has to wait two or three times to pass.

Qin Ke smiled at Ning Qingyun next to him: "It seems that the meeting will almost start when we arrive at the venue. Just in time, it will save trouble. We don't have to be surrounded by a bunch of reporters for interviews, or be pestered by a bunch of people to hand out business cards."

The reporter's interview was okay, mainly because the decadent atmosphere in the academic circles made Qin Ke uncomfortable. Although Qin Ke was a social cow and had good social skills, in his heart he actually didn't like those hypocrites and coercions. "I have admired the famous name for a long time.

” and other useless polite greetings, as well as business invitations with various tricks.

Ning Qingyun also had the same thought. She has a quiet personality and doesn't like to interact with strangers. However, some people are so shameless that they can be her grandfather even at their age, yet they still hand over their business cards with a coquettish look on their face, please.

She took great care of her. Ning Qingyun looked down on at least this "flexible and flexible" weakling, but there were quite a few such people. She couldn't be too repellent in person, so she could only force out a smile and accept the business card.

, a few polite words.

This is another reason why Ning Qingyun never likes to attend domestic academic conferences.

Ning Qingyun put her little head on Qin Ke's shoulder and asked: "Qin Xiaoke, President Jiao said there is a surprise waiting for us this time, what do you think it will be?"

The two are now married, but Ning Qingyun is so shy that he has not yet changed his calling to Qin Ke as "husband". He only occasionally calls Qin Ke when they are alone in private. Normally, he is more accustomed to "Qin Xiaoke"

nickname.

Qin Ke put his arms around Ning Qingyun's slender waist, smelled the extremely delicious body fragrance of the girl next to him, and said with a smile: "President Jiao has already invited us to give a report, so the only surprise left is to give us awards.

."

This year-end academic exchange meeting of the Physical Society attracted as many as 3,500 participants and received nearly 1,500 academic reports, covering atomic and molecular physics, nano and mesoscopic physics, field theory and cosmology, plasma physics, and high energy density.

There are 21 fields such as physics and statistical physics. For this purpose, 21 exchange conference rooms have been specially set up to facilitate participants to conduct academic exchanges in various forms such as posters, exhibitions, and reports.

Of course, the most important thing is the stage report at the main venue and the awards at the end.

President Jiao Yanmin has invited the two people to come on stage to give a special report and said that there is still a surprise. No need to guess, 99% of the time, they will win the grand prize.

Ning Qingyun pursed her lips and chuckled: "I guess so. Speaking of which, this will be the first physics award we win."

Qin Ke kissed Ning Qingyun's hair and said with a smile: "Congratulations in advance to Professor Ning. I have won a grand prize. Do you want to kiss me to comfort my hurt and lonely heart?"

Qin Ke's antics made Ning Qingyun burst into laughter. The girl pinched Qin Ke's waist gently, and gave the scoundrel a blank look with her beautiful eyes: "You make it sound as if you have no share in it."

Fang Yongtang, who was driving, asked curiously while waiting for the traffic light: "Boss, what award will you get this time?"

Qin Ke thought for a while and said: "It should be the 'Ye Qisun Physics Award', which rewards the field of condensed matter physics."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact, the two are probably most famous for their field of fluid mechanics. In terms of quantum computing, they have only published pre-collected papers on arXiv. The journal "Nature" will publish it next week.

The paper "Overview of the Lime Topological Superconducting Vortex State Theoretical Model System" by the two was released as a cover article in the latest issue.

However, none of the five physics awards are in the direction of fluid mechanics, and it is unlikely that the two people will be awarded the "Physical Society Lifetime Contribution Award" early, so the most likely one is the "Ye Qisun Physics Award", followed by the "Hu Gangfu Award" in the direction of experimental technology.

Physics Prize", and finally the Rao Yutai Physics Prize in the fields of optics, acoustics, atomic and molecular physics. After all, light quanta is used in quantum computing.

"Why do you feel that you are not very happy after winning the grand prize? This award should be regarded as a very high-level award in China, right?"

Hearing Fang Yongtang's question, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun looked at each other and smiled, and then realized that their vision and vision had already made a qualitative leap.

When they received the "Chern Chen Prize in Mathematics" and the "Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics", the two were so excited that they couldn't sleep well all night. When they received the "Fields Medal", they felt as happy as in a dream. But

Now, with countless honors and various awards, I didn’t feel too happy to win the ICCM Mathematics Award before. Even if I can really win the "Ye Qisun Physics Award" this time, it just makes the two of them laugh.

Now their goal has been set on next year's Nobel Prize in Physics. Probably only the Nobel Prize in Physics will ignite their fierce fighting spirit of competition. The two of them have devoted themselves to the topic of "topological quantum computing".

, there is also the reason why I want to win the Nobel Prize based on the results of this project.

However, the variables of the Nobel Prize in Physics are too great. There are one to two thousand candidates every year. It can be said that it is no exaggeration to select one from a thousand elites in physics around the world.

Even if Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun achieve world-renowned results in the theoretical system of "topological quantum computing", there is not much certainty that they will win next year's Nobel Prize in Physics.

The Nobel Prize is divided into the Nobel Prize in Physics, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the Nobel Peace Prize, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, the Nobel Prize in Literature, and the Nobel Prize in Economics. The Physics Prize and the Chemistry Prize are assessed by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

, the Physiology or Medicine Prize is assessed by the Royal Karolinska Institute of Sweden, the Literature Prize is assessed by the Swedish Academy of Letters, and the Peace Prize is selected by the Norwegian Parliament.

These juries have complete autonomy and are not affected by the academic community. No matter how high your achievements are, if more than half of the people on the juries don't recognize or take them seriously, it still won't work.

Theoretical physicists are particularly at a disadvantage in this regard.

The famous theoretical physicist Einstein's theory of relativity had a profound impact on the world. It can even be said to have led the international physics community into a new era. However, he did not win the Nobel Prize in Physics for his theory of relativity. At that time,

The Nobel Prize selection committee discriminated against Jews, and the theory of relativity was too advanced and obscure. They felt that they could not obtain actual observational data to prove the theory of relativity.

Later, because the academic leader Planck couldn't stand it anymore, he united a large number of physics experts to put pressure on the Nobel Prize Selection Committee, and finally forced the Nobel Prize Selection Committee to award Einstein the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921.

, the reason for the award has nothing to do with the theory of relativity, but because of the light quantum hypothesis proposed by Einstein in 1905, which successfully explained the photoelectric effect.

Another example is the famous theoretical physicist Edward Witten. He is recognized as the world's top expert on string theory and quantum field theory. However, he has been unable to win the Nobel Prize in Physics for his whole life. This is also because the theory is too difficult to verify. On the contrary, he

Won the Fields Medal in mathematics.

However, Qin Ke is still very confident in his and Ning Qingyun’s “Ling Ning Topological Superconducting Vortex State Theoretical Model System”, and time will prove its value.

Moreover, Qin Ke has other big weapons in his hand, such as "the existence of smooth solutions to the N-S equation". This is a millennium problem that spans the two major disciplines of physics and mathematics. Once this problem is solved, it will not only affect mathematics

It has greatly promoted the research in the direction of partial differential equations, and has a huge influence on the field of fluid mechanics in physics. No matter how proud the Nobel Prize in Physics is, he will have to bow his head obediently.

…

When Qin and Ke arrived at the venue, they were almost there. The venue was already packed with people, and the huge main venue was almost full.

The venue was a little noisy, with everyone whispering to each other, but when Qin led Ning Qingyun into the main venue, it still attracted a lot of attention.

Many people interrupted their whispers and cast various complex looks at these two young professors who were famous all over the world and were too young.

Qin Ke was already used to such scenes. At a glance, he saw many familiar faces. His teachers Jiang Weixian and Academician Guo Weiyang, as well as several physics professors and senior researchers from Xia Ke Academy of Sciences also came.

.

Qin Ke smiled and nodded to everyone, then pulled Ning Qingyun to his seat under the guidance of the staff.

To his surprise, the two people's seats were actually in the middle of the first row, and the person sitting next to him was actually a world-renowned theoretical physics master, Nobel Prize winner in physics, and a towering figure in particle physics and condensed matter physics.

Beidou, Mr. Yang!

Mr. Yang is over 100 years old and has rarely appeared in public in recent years. The last time was at a special event for the 140th anniversary of Einstein's birth four years ago, so many people have rumored that he is in poor health, but now Qin Ke

Ning Qingyun clearly saw that he was in good spirits, and the person sitting next to him should be his relative or family doctor.

Mr. Yang smiled and nodded at the two of them: "You must be Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun. I have heard your names. You are very good. Keep up the hard work." He spoke clearly and logically, and was in excellent condition.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun hurriedly responded: "Hello, Mr. Yang!"

Jiao Yanmin, president of the Physical Society, came over and said enthusiastically: "Professor Qin, Professor Ning, are you surprised or surprised? Mr. Yang came here specially to meet you this time and give you awards by the way."

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were flattered and hurriedly thanked Mr. Yang again.

Mr. Yang nodded slightly: "I heard your article "Overview of the Lime Topological Superconducting Vortex State Theoretical Model System" read by someone, and it was very well written. I wrote a letter of recommendation yesterday and asked people to send it to you.

Go to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and recommend you as a candidate for next year’s Nobel Prize in Physics. I wish you success.”

From September to January 31 of the following year, the Nobel Prize jury accepts recommended candidates for the Nobel Prize.

Although according to the rules, the average candidate will not know who has recommended them, this rule has existed in name only for hundreds of years. The recommenders will inform the candidates, which is regarded as a favor and a kind of recognition.

Although Qin Ke and the two already knew that Mr. Oliver had submitted a letter of recommendation, coupled with Mr. Yang's letter of recommendation, the weight would undoubtedly be much heavier, so they thanked him again now.

Seeing Qin Ke, Ning Qingyun and Mr. Yang had a pleasant conversation. Everyone in the venue was a little envious, especially those who had received the news and knew the list of winners of this physics award, and had mixed emotions.

For many old professors, even though they know that these two young people have won the Fields Medal, the first prize of the National Science and Technology Award, and are top mathematical geniuses, they are not their own field, so they just sigh.

But now, these two young men, who are too young to be their own students, want to win the Physics Society Grand Prize that they long for but cannot win. How can they calmly send blessings?

Those who followed their mentors to gain experience saw their eyes sparkle when they saw Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, as excited as if they had met their idols.

The opening ceremony of the Physical Society's year-end academic exchange conference began soon. President Jiao Yanmin took the stage to deliver a speech, and then announced the winners of various physics awards.
