Chapter 97 Don’t believe rumors, don’t spread rumors

Since this time, Xu You has spent most of his time on the subject of superconductivity of aluminum clusters.

I hardly ever went to Wang Xiangwu’s laboratory.

Wang Xiangwu also missed Xu You very much, but he knew that Xu You was busy with an important topic, so he didn't bother him.

After receiving the project direction of the "Island" project, Wang Xiangwu finally had a reason to have a good chat with Xu You.

"Xu You, how did you do on that project?"

"I have already submitted it to Nature. There is no problem in the first review, but I still have to wait for the subsequent review process."

"Well, that's good. The topic direction of my island project has been decided. If you have time, you can come over and have a good chat."

"Okay, teacher, when will you be in the laboratory? I can go there today."

"That's just right. I need to hold a meeting in the laboratory today. If you have time, just come over. I'll basically be there all the time."

Although Xu You had just finished a large-scale project, he did not feel tired at all.

After all, those senior undergraduates and graduate students are doing projects for graduation. After completing them, they will feel like they are finally relieved.

But Xu You enjoys the whole process of doing scientific research more, and there is no pressure at all to graduate.

Xu You wished that he had more topics to work on and there were always projects to study.

Otherwise, you will fall into an empty state of "topic shortage".

Xu You came to Wang Xiangwu's laboratory, and Wang Xiangwu was about to prepare for a meeting. Xu You sat down and listened to the main content of the meeting.

"Our project direction for the Island Project has been finalized. All of us here are the core personnel of the laboratory. First of all, I would like to emphasize one thing. This project is classified as confidential and cannot be disclosed to the outside world. And even if there are results, they cannot be published within five years.

Publish it in any journal. If there is no problem, we will sign a confidentiality agreement first and then continue to explain the specific content of the project direction."

Xu You didn't expect that the confidentiality level of this matter would be so high.

However, this is a national-level project after all.

Although each laboratory only studies one of the directions, it may not even involve the core technology of quantum computers.

But it is indeed a very necessary decision to do a good job of confidentiality.

The people present, except Xu You, are basically professors, associate professors, lecturers, etc. in the laboratory.

Postdocs like Zhao Weijia are considered the lowest level.

Xu You also signed a confidentiality agreement like others.

After everyone signed the confidentiality agreement, Wang Xiangwu finally began his formal narration.

Wang Xiangwu first introduced the two routes of the "Island" plan.

Although the industry generally believes that superconducting quantum computers have better prospects.

But in the case of uncertainty, optical quantum computers are also a path that must be explored.

Therefore, the "Island" plan can be carried out simultaneously in two different directions.

Ultimately, based on the progress of the research, we will determine which direction is the better solution.

Because of the research field, Wang Xiangwu's laboratory is responsible for the direction of optical quantum computers.

Specifically, it is about quantum light sources.

In fact, Wang Xiangwu's laboratory is a laboratory for studying quantum physics.

But many research contents are closely related to optics.

Because photons themselves are a type of quantum.

The so-called "quantum light source" refers to the "quantum entangled photon pair source".

This is an indispensable key quantum device in quantum information technology and quantum optoelectronic integrated chips.

"So far, most of the quantum light sources in the world only maintain the 'two-high' level of high entanglement fidelity and high indistinguishability. Our current goal is to have high efficiency, high entanglement fidelity and high indistinguishability at the same time.

Indistinguishability is the so-called 'three highs'. Of course, the three highs here are a complimentary term. Only in this way can it truly be possible to achieve practical requirements."

"The main problem we are facing now is how to overcome photon leakage and how to improve the photon collection efficiency. If we can solve these problems, then our technology can be in a leading position internationally."

Through Wang Xiangwu’s explanation, everyone quickly clarified the direction of the topic and the current problems that need to be solved.

"Okay, that's it for today's meeting. This problem seems very simple, but it will definitely not be solved overnight. Let's think about it carefully when we go back, and we will make a detailed plan next time."

Because the topic had just been decided, Wang Xiangwu was not in a hurry to determine the ideas for the topic, so he let everyone break up the meeting first.

"Xu You, come here, let's have a good chat."

After the meeting, Wang Xiangwu called Xu You alone and walked together to his office.

After closing the office door, Wang Xiangwu asked Xu You to sit down.

"I haven't seen you in the past few days, and you've come up with a big thesis again. You don't know how envious those Ph.D.'s are of you. If they could be as good as you, they wouldn't have to worry about graduation at all."

Faced with Wang Xiangwu's compliment, Xu You didn't know how to reply, so he had to respond with a smile.

"But it's no wonder that others are not as talented as you, and they don't work as hard as you, and they don't like scientific research from the bottom of their hearts. I heard that you just went to Qiao Sen's laboratory and gave them all the laboratory papers.

I borrowed it and then finished reading it in one day? Is there such a thing?"

Xu Youxin said, I don’t know who spread the rumor, but it’s not that outrageous at all.

"No, no, I just borrowed 58 papers and read them for two days." Xu You explained.

"What, do you want to express that such a thing is easy to do? And new superconducting substances can be predicted just through theoretical analysis and calculation. Hey, I really don't know how to describe you."

Wang Xiangwu knew that if he only briefly browsed these papers, it would still be possible for Xu You to do it at such a speed.

But Xu You was able to deduce such a complex theory through these papers, and it would never be as simple as just briefly browsing.

I must have studied all these papers thoroughly.

Such terrifying talents may only exist in some circulating stories.

"Teacher, I have to thank you for helping me win the right to go to class of my own choice. Learning things in the laboratory is indeed much more efficient than in the classroom."

In fact, a large part of the reason why Xu You chose Jida before was to have access to the top learning and scientific research environment and to take advantage of the top learning and scientific research resources.

As for many classes, the difference between taking them or not is not big. Even if you want to listen, you can listen online.

Hearing Xu You's words, Wang Xiangwu felt that what he did to Xu You was indeed not in vain.
