October 4, 2022 at around 17:45 Beijing time, the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to French scholar Alain Aspect, American scholar John Clauser and Austrian scholar Anton Zeilinger, for their contributions to entangled photon experiments, proving violations of Bell inequality and pioneering Quantum Information Science .
Impression, this should be the first time that quantum information field won the Nobel Prize in Physics. However, as we all know, China's research and application in quantum technology are also very advanced. Why is the Nobel Prize in Physics, which involves the field of quantum information in , without the names of Chinese scientists?
- research levels are different
China's most advanced technologies in quantum technology include: quantum communication , quantum radar , quantum drone, quantum computer . These technologies focus on the application level and are all applied research based on existing basic quantum theories. The three Nobel Prize winners in physics are studying basic theories, such as: non-local verification of quantum networks, quantum hidden state transmission, long-distance quantum hidden state transmission, etc. studies are not only a breakthrough understanding of the basic principles of quantum mechanics , but will also be used for emerging quantum technologies such as quantum cryptography, quantum communication, quantum computing , which have great application prospects. The Nobel Prize in Physics is awarded : scientists who have made outstanding contributions to the field of human physics. Judging from this standard, these three foreign scientists undoubtedly meet the requirements of the Nobel Prize in Physics.
2. Chinese scientists have also participated in the research of Nobel Prize project
won the Nobel Prize scientific research project. It is actually a summary of research results of scientists from all over the world, which also includes the research results of Chinese scientists. For example: In addition to a theoretical article, the quantum communication experiment papers listed by Salinger this time, the papers related to quantum communication experiments are all the names of Chinese scientist Pan Jianwei . In addition, three subsequent papers were related work done by Chinese scientists after the launch of the "Mozi", and "the work of the Chinese team was mentioned in a total of 7 items." Therefore, this Nobel Prize in Physics is also a recognition and affirmation of Chinese scientists.
In 2011, Salinger (third from the front row) and Pan Jianwei (second from the front row) had dinner in Austria in
Nobel Prize in physics is the highest honor that scientists in the field of physics research on our planet can receive. Chinese scientists started late, and the gap does exist. However, Chinese scientists have slowly narrowed the gap through their own efforts and national support.
pays tribute to all scientists who are committed to advanced theoretical research and advanced technology research! !
