Chapter 77 is this child's lesson
Xu You not only kept communicating with Wang Xiangwu and Zhao Weijia, but also asked Chen Xiang various professional questions from time to time.
If you ignore their age and appearance.
Chen Xiang felt that Zhao Weijia was more like the intern student.
The questions raised by Xu You were all highly professional.
He doesn't look like a newbie at all who has never had any experience in a laboratory.
More like a researcher with several years of scientific research experience.
As Chen Xiang watched, he became more and more suspicious that Xu You's position in the entire experiment seemed to be much higher than he had imagined.
"Professor Wang, is this experimental topic yours or Dr. Zhao's?"
Wang Xiangwu smiled and said, "Neither, it's the subject of Xu You."
Hearing Wang Xiangwu's words, Chen Xiang was stunned for a moment.
What a joke!
A freshman-to-be has already started working on his own project?
Or such a cutting-edge professional field as quantum physics?
Even though Xu You is the first place in this IPhO.
Such things still sound a little unbelievable.
Seeing Chen Xiang’s surprised expression, Wang Xiangwu also smiled gently.
"When I first met Xu You, I was also surprised by him. At that time, I was teaching the atomic physics class for sophomores and left an extension question. He did the best in the class. Later I learned that he only audited some courses in advance after being recommended to Jilin University, but his knowledge exceeded that of ordinary undergraduates. In Weijia's research project, Xu You also helped provide a very good direction, which enabled Weijia to successfully publish his paper."
Zhao Weijia nodded vigorously, indicating that all this was indeed true.
Xu You smiled shyly.
It was a little hard to get used to being praised in person by a professor from Ji University.
"I really envy your Ji University for always being able to recruit such good talents. Those best students rarely choose our University of Science and Technology of China." Chen Xiang said helplessly.
"Professor Chen, please don't say that. The admission score of USTC is getting higher and higher every year. It seems that many high school students are now yearning for USTC. The scientific research atmosphere here is incomparable to that of Jingbei."
After hearing this, Chen Xiang felt much better.
In Chen Xiang’s heart, USTC is indeed the university with the best scientific research atmosphere in China.
It is really possible to train a large number of students to become scientific researchers for our country.
There won't be such things as people studying physics trading stocks or people studying electronics singing.
However, Chen Xiang is not worried about children like Xu You.
You already know how to hang out in the laboratory before you even enter school. You will definitely be able to concentrate on scientific research in the future.
As long as he can contribute to China's scientific research field in the future, Chen Xiang will be very supportive even if he is not a student of USTC.
Time passed little by little, and the construction of the quantum gate was gradually completed.
"Sure enough, according to your method, the two quantum gates can indeed achieve high-dimensional non-destructive measurement!"
Seeing that Xu You's theory was successfully verified, Wang Xiangwu couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Did it really work?" Chen Xiang asked in surprise.
"Well, Professor Chen, come and take a look too!"
Chen Xiang came over after hearing the sound, took a closer look, and was also a little surprised.
Although Chen Xiang was not clear about Xu You’s specific theory.
But through experimental phenomena, Chen Xiang was able to fully see that the quantum gate was successfully built.
"Yes! By using the high-dimensional control loop gate, the target photon can achieve high-dimensional loop operation!"
This is the first time that Chen Xiang has seen this way of constructing a quantum gate.
Looking around the world, this is also a groundbreaking scientific research achievement.
"It's better to copy the data quickly. These are important data that will be reflected in the paper later."
"Yes, teacher."
Zhao Weijia has become accustomed to the role of assistant and has no resistance to it.
"You're really good at letting a postdoc help a freshman record data," Chen Xiang thought to himself.
After completing the copying of the data , Wang Xiangwu prepared to leave with Zhao Weijia and Xu You.
"Professor Chen, this time the fee will be charged to the laboratory account. I'll arrange for the finance department to transfer it when I get back. Please check it carefully."
"Ok, no problem."
On the way back, the three of them were in a good mood.
Wang Xiangwu did not expect that this experiment would go so smoothly.
Even the problem of two-photon high-dimensional control gate has been solved.
In this way, the level of Xu You's research project has risen to a higher level.
It is no exaggeration to say that Xu You's topic is even more valuable than Zhao Weijia's previous topic.
At this time, Wang Xiangwu even had the idea of becoming the first author of this paper.
But Wang Xiangwu was just thinking about it and would never do such a thing.
Whether it is the establishment of the subject or the research of the entire theory.
Xu Youdu completely occupied the dominant position.
Wang Xiangwu’s role in this is at most just an instructor.
It is reasonable to be the corresponding author and the second author.
It really doesn't make sense to force it to be a work.
Even if Wang Xiangwu really wanted to grab the first piece, Xu You would definitely not be able to stop him.
But whether considering the long-term interests or from a moral perspective.
Wang Xiangwu would never do such a thing.
The future of this child Xu You will definitely be far better than mine.
Such talents are not only the wealth of Ji University, but also the wealth of the entire China.
…
In the following period of time, Xu You began to write his thesis while trying to continue his research in the direction of high-dimensional multi-photon gates.
The process of writing the paper went relatively smoothly.
When Xu You was helping Zhao Weijia with his project, he already understood the formatting standards for paper writing.
Compared with theoretical research, the process of writing a paper is relatively simple and boring.
It’s probably just to record the entire research process.
And you need to pay attention to various standards, formats, etc.
During the intervals of writing his thesis, Xu You finally verified the scalability of the high-dimensional two-photon gate and applied it to arbitrary high-dimensional multi-photon gates.
In the laboratory of USTC, Xu You's new theory was further verified and finally completed Xu You's entire research topic.
After completing the writing and proofreading of the paper, Wang Xiangwu and Xu You discussed the issue of paper submission.
"Xu You, I am very optimistic about your paper. To be honest, it is a level higher than Zhao Weijia's previous paper."
This time, Wang Xiangwu said these words when Zhao Weijia was away.
If Zhao Weijia heard this, he would probably want to find a hole to crawl into.
"Teacher, what journal should I submit this paper to?"
Xu You didn't know much about specific journals and had only heard of top journals like Nature and Science.
However, Xu You felt that since it was his first time doing scientific research and writing a paper, he would not be able to reach such a level.
"My suggestion is that you can try submitting to PRL first. It doesn't matter whether it is passed or not. Anyway, you are only a freshman and there is no rush to publish a paper."
