Top Student

Xu You, didn't stay at home for a few more days, did you come back so soon?

Seeing Xu You, Wang Xiangwu was also in a good mood.

This kid is not only talented, but also very hardworking.

If it wasn't because Xu You hadn't officially enrolled yet, Wang Xiangwu really wanted to recruit Xu You directly into the group.

Well, my parents are both at work, or I'm at home by myself, so I decided to go back to school early to study.

After the two chatted casually for a while, Xu You started to get down to business.

Teacher, if I say that I want to study a new topic by myself... don't you think it's unrealistic?

Wang Xiangwu was taken aback for a moment, but did not answer Xu You immediately.

Indeed, let alone Xu You, a high school student.

Even if an undergraduate student said that he wanted to study the topic by himself, Wang Xiangwu would definitely feel that this is a fantasy.

But for Xu You, Wang Xiangwu really couldn't look at it with normal eyes.

Let's talk about your thoughts first.

No matter what, Wang Xiangwu still had to know Xu You's specific research direction before making a decision.

Teacher, I have some ideas of my own about the quantum gate, and I want to study it in depth.

Quantum gate? Wang Xiangwu asked in surprise.

A so-called quantum gate, or quantum logic gate, refers to a fundamental quantum circuit capable of manipulating a small number of qubits.

To put it more plainly.

The relationship between quantum gates and quantum circuits is similar to the relationship between traditional logic gates (AND gates, OR gates, NOT gates, etc.) and general digital circuits.

In Zhao Weijia's experimental subject.

The conversion of various quantum states is realized through various quantum gates.

Yes, in my brother's experiment, the conversion of various quantum states is still not so stable. I want to try to study a more mature conversion system.

Next, Xu You told Wang Xiangwu in detail about his current thoughts and the direction he had considered.

Listening to this, Wang Xiangwu also felt that Xu You's ideas had great research significance and also had good research prospects.

If Xu You was Wang Xiangwu's graduate student, then Wang Xiangwu would definitely make a decision on this topic immediately.

But it's a pity that the current Xu You is not even an undergraduate.

It is really unreasonable for Xu You to conduct research hastily.

Xu You, it's really unprecedented for you to start a project alone as a high school student like you.

Xu You was slightly disappointed when he heard this.

Sorry, teacher, I took it for granted.

Xu You was not too disappointed because of this.

After all, apart from scientific research, I still have a lot to learn.

Big deal, just wait until the official enrollment, and then study and carry out scientific research.

But Wang Xiangwu didn't want to completely deny this matter.

Well, Xu You, let me see if I can apply to the school to give you a temporary status as a laboratory intern. Of course, with your current conditions, you definitely don't qualify for this status. But after all, you are special, and you can Maybe the school can make an exception.

Wang Xiangwu still wanted to give it a try.

On the one hand, Wang Xiangwu really felt that Xu You's idea was very good, and it would be a pity if he had no chance to study it.

On the other hand, if Xu You really produced results in his own laboratory.

Wang Xiangwu is undoubtedly the beneficiary.

In this way, it will be easier for Xu You to become a formal student of his experimental group in the future.

Great, thank you teacher!

Knowing that there is still a glimmer of hope at this time, Xu You's mood suddenly improved a lot.

After that, Wang Xiangwu submitted the application to the relevant departments of the school.

Because Xu You was not yet a formal student of Ji University, the application process was not smooth.

After all, it is very difficult for such an unprecedented thing to pass the school's review.

But in the end, it is said that a very powerful school leader personally made the decision and agreed to the matter.

Only then did Xu You have the qualifications to become a temporary experimenter.

Of course, the necessary assessment procedures still have to be carried out normally.

Xu You must pass the assessment of all experimenters before he can become an intern in Wang Xiangwu's laboratory.

However, these assessment items are also very basic for Xu You.

Through these days of study, Xu You's ability has fully met the conditions of an experimenter.

Passed these tests successfully.

After some twists and turns, Xu You can finally start his own project.

Xu You's subject, the core problem to be solved, is to build more advanced high-dimensional quantum gates on the basis of some commonly used quantum gates.

Like in Zhao Weijia's experiment before.

The quantum gates involved mainly include Pauli-X gate, Pauli-Z gate, Hadamard gate and so on.

And each quantum gate can be represented by a proprietary matrix.

For example, the Hadamard gate is a unitary matrix whose columns are orthogonal.

If it is a high-dimensional quantum gate, or a combination of multiple quantum gates, various complex mathematical calculations are involved.

Therefore, without solid mathematical knowledge, it is completely impossible to support Xu You's in-depth research on quantum gates.

Let's solve it first, how to stably realize the high-dimensional quantum gate of any single photon.

After identifying the primary problem, Xu You started his own research process.

In it, both theory and experiment are indispensable parts.

It is not only necessary to use theory to guide experiments, but also to use experimental results to verify whether the theory is correct or not.

In the process of research, Xu You also realized the problem of his lack of knowledge, and kept going to the library to borrow various materials to enrich his theoretical knowledge.

Even the research process was far from smooth as expected.

But Xu You still enjoys every moment of the research process, and doesn't feel monotonous at all.

At this time, the first national training session of Shujing will also begin.

In fact, Xu You already had the idea of ​​giving up participating in the math competition training.

Because, according to China's regulations, a player cannot participate in the international Olympic competition as a member of two national teams at the same time within the same year.

Xu You had already confirmed his identity as a member of the Wujing national team before, and this point will definitely not change.

Therefore, even if Xu You has met the requirements in the Shujing team trials, he will not be able to enter the Shujing national team.

However, Xu You's thoughts have changed due to the bottleneck encountered in scientific research recently.

Xu You vaguely felt that his mathematics level limited the upper limit of his physics level to a certain extent.

It's better to put the scientific research aside and concentrate on learning mathematics.

Maybe there will be unexpected gains.

In the early days when Einstein proposed the theory of relativity, it was not so smooth.

One of the difficulties is the expression of various mathematical formulas.

Later, with the help of his friends and his own bad men, Einstein solved these problems and perfected his theory.
