Chapter 443: Fusion starts with superconductivity

It is getting closer and closer to the end of the month. Recently, a major sensation has occurred in the mathematical world, and its influence has not only spread to the academic world, but has even spread beyond the academic world.
The office of the Higher Research Institute, Hardy, sitting in front of the computer and browsing the meeting information, suddenly hesitated after seeing the relevant news.
Immediately afterwards, he almost shouted in a surprised voice.
"Professor, I heard that Riemann's conjecture was proved ?!"
Lu Zhou: "Oh?"
As if he had discovered a new continent, Hardy said excitedly: "What I saw on Mathoverflow, it is said that Sir Michael Attia of the University of Cambridge, England, claimed to prove the Riemann conjecture in a very simple way, and he will win the prize in Heidelberg Speaker forum. "
Mathoverflow is a well-known online mathematics community. Many big maths in the world have their own accounts on it. For example, TAO God is particularly active on it. He not only regularly updates his blog, but also often interacts with visitors.
After hearing Hardy's words, Lu Zhou smiled, in a joke tone, said without joking.
"If he does complete the proof, he will undoubtedly become the greatest mathematician of this century."
Hardy: "Do you like his proof?"
Lu Zhou did not answer this question directly, but simply expressed his views.
"Sir Atiyah is an outstanding scholar and the winner of both the Abel Prize and the Fields Prize, but the old man is now 89 years old ... It is difficult to tell the truth."
In fact, Atiyah is definitely not the first scholar to claim to prove the Riemann conjecture.
As far as academic circles are concerned, in about 2004, Professor De-Branges, a well-known scholar in the field of number theory, also claimed that he had solved the Riemann conjecture and caused a lot of sensation at the time, but unfortunately Not recognized by the mathematical community.
If it were earlier, even Hardy had claimed to prove the problem.
Hardy hesitated, and continued: "But ... he is Sir Atria, the Abel and Fields winners. Would he make such a claim if he was not completely sure?"
After hearing this, Lu Zhou smiled and said with joy: "My dear Hardy, if you intend to become a scholar, you must remember that the medal is glory, but it is only glory. Or In other words, it is precisely because of the two honors awarded to him by the mathematics community that he should respond more to legitimate questions than to ignore those who question him. "
Facing Hardy's inquiry, Lu Zhou paused for a moment and continued.
"And compared to Riemann's conjecture, I would like to know more about the negative proof given by Sir Atiyat on the existence of a complex structure on the six-dimensional sphere S ^ 6.
Hardy: "... Six-dimensional spherical S ^ 6 complex structure?"
Lu Zhou nodded: "This is a well-known outstanding problem in the K-theory of algebraic topology. Although it is not a millennial problem, it is no less important than the millennial problem. About 16 years ago , Sir Atiya gave a negative answer to this proposition, but his dissertation was not satisfactory. Not only was the proof process in the true sense only half a page, and in the fourth part of the dissertation he even talked about the history of mathematics ... ... "
After a pause, Lu Zhou shrugged and continued, "At least according to the news on Mathoverflow, he has not responded to people's doubts yet, and the academic community is skeptical of his thesis."
Papers on the complex structure of the six-dimensional sphere S ^ 6 can be found on Arxiv, which is not a fool of him.
In the case of "solving" a well-known problem in K-theory, in less than two years, it solved one of the most important problems in the field of number theory and the entire mathematics ...
Lu Zhou certainly hopes that this is true. After all, the mathematics profession has a heroic complex.
But for this ninety-year-old man ...
To be honest, he didn't have much hope.
Mathematics is a young subject, and there is no such thing as old and strong. Once a person ages, whether it is memory or thinking ability, it will obviously decline.
As a result, few mathematicians can make outstanding results in their later years that are not inferior to those of their young age.
In short, regardless of the final result, the elderly are just happy ...
...
Riemann's conjecture is a very interesting subject, but it is not the issue that Lu Zhou cares about at the moment.
After setting a tag for the report, he focused his work back on the task chain of Fusionlight.
The direct design of a stellarator is too much, and the quantum computer is still far away. After comprehensively considering various factors, he finally chose superconducting materials as the next topic.
To be honest, superconducting materials are not simple, but for the time being this is the closest subject to his research field.
At Flick Chemistry Lab, Lu Zhou met Connie.
Because of the cooperation project with Professor Pablo Herrero, he has basically exchanged visits with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology over the past six months and did not return until last week.
After meeting Connie, Lu Zhou opened his door and asked, "How is the project of superconducting materials going?"
"I can't give you an accurate result, but in general, it went smoothly." Handing a USB flash drive to Lu Zhou, Connie continued, "I have written a summary report of the relevant research progress. , It ’s in the folder with a C on the USB flash drive. I originally intended to send it to your mailbox. "
After receiving the USB stick from his hand, Lu Zhou nodded.
"I see. I'll watch it in a while."
Looking at the serious expression on the landing boat's face, Connie was a little excited: "Professor, are you finally going to shoot?"
Lu Zhou said briefly, "Well ... for various reasons, I have recently shifted my focus from mathematics to the topic of superconducting materials."
As for what ~ EbookFREE.me ~ he certainly wouldn't say.
After letting Connie do his own business, Lu Zhou went to his desk and sat down. He inserted the U disk into the computer and opened the report written by Connie.
After half an hour of reading the report quickly, Lu Zhou quickly got a general understanding of the progress of the project.
In short, Pablo Jarillo-Herrero's laboratory, led by Professor Herrero, is a theory that focuses on the symmetry, chirped energy gap, nematic phase, and so on of this superconducting phase.
The Jinling Institute of Computational Materials and the Salot Laboratory are applications, mainly through a large number of experiments to find a method to maintain this superconductivity under the condition of increasing the carrier concentration of graphene.
I have to say that Professor Pablo Herrero is indeed a big bull in the field of graphene. After receiving the funding of US $ 10 million from Xingkong Science and Technology, the research progress can be described by rapid advances.
With the help of these theoretical results, the Jinling Institute of Computational Materials and the Salot Laboratory also made many beautiful phased results in the field of application research.
However, there is still a considerable distance from the final result.
Thinking about the image on the computer screen for a moment, Lu Zhou quickly got a clear understanding of the work he needed to do.
He is good at calculating materials and using mathematics to find the laws in materials science.
So for him, the first thing to do is to build a reliable mathematical model based on the data collected by the three laboratories for more than a year.
Secondly, in order to make this project faster, he needs more manpower.
For example, Professor Chirick is a good candidate ...
