Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 152 100 Kapitsa's Brain Circuit

Chen Muwu persuaded Dirac for a long time, and the latter finally decided to write this paper containing the new quantum statistical method.

But Dirac also made a request, that is, although he wrote it himself, he must write Chen Muwu's name on the first author.

Chen Muwu felt that he could not agree to this request either.

If he agreed, wouldn't it be equivalent to Dirac selling himself and helping count the money?
So the two started a new round of refusal between each other. In the end, Dirac reluctantly agreed to be the first author and let Chen Muwu's name hang behind him.

But at the same time, Dirac also agreed to another thing for Chen Muwu, that is to start from pure mathematics and try to prove that matrix mechanics and wave mechanics are mathematically equivalent.

Chen Muwu pretended to point out a few terms, such as matrix operator and Hilbert space.

The reason why he didn't go on in-depth is because he only knew a few nouns, and he would be timid if he said too much, but high and low can also point out a direction for Dirac.

Before parting, Chen Muwu remembered one more thing.

"Oh, by the way, Paul, one more thing.

"As you can see, I have now moved out of Mrs. Brown's house and into this room at Trinity College.

"However, I have two compatriots who are now taking my place in the room on the second floor of Mrs. Brown's house. They are new arrivals, please take care of them."

"Chen, what a coincidence, St. John's College also notified me that they have vacated a room and let me move in before the start of the autumn semester. I'm afraid I can't agree to your request."

"In this case, forget it. Then I will help you move tomorrow. After moving, you can write that quantum statistics paper as soon as possible, and you can still catch up with the deadline for the Royal Society's "Proceedings of Natural Sciences." Submit the paper."

"Okay, then I'll thank you in advance."

It was naturally Zhao Zhongyao and Shi Ruwei who were arranged by Chen Muwu to live in Mrs. Brown's house.

Since the round-faced Magdalenian left Cambridge for France, Mrs. Brown hadn't eaten proper Chinese food.

In terms of cooking, Chen Muwu was a lazy dog, and he always muddled through. Until he also moved out of the rented room, Mrs. Brown never ate a single meal made by Chen.

Mrs. Brown was very happy to hear that Chinese students could live in her home again.

The first thing she did after meeting the three of them was to ask if anyone could cook Chinese food.

After getting an affirmative reply, Mrs. Brown directly waved her hand and lowered the price of the room to the lowest.

……

Only two days after the lecture, Oppenheimer sent Chen Muwu the compiled notes.

Although the content of the lecture he gave at the Kapitsa Club the day before yesterday could not be said to be verbatim, basically all the main points were clearly recorded.

"Robert, how much did you understand this lecture?"

Although he is just a student who just graduated from Harvard University, Oppenheimer may be one of the few people with the richest theoretical knowledge in the audience that day.

After the lecture ended, before Chen Muwu had time to collect feedback from the audience, he was disrupted by Dirac who came out halfway.

He has always wanted to know what his teaching level is, so he agreed to Kapitsa's invitation, but the Kapitsa Club came to hold this lecture to test the waters in advance.

Don't wait until the building is completed, but your own coaching level is like Bohr's, that would be too misleading.

Oppenheimer was a little embarrassed: "Teacher Chen, to be honest, I didn't understand much."

"Is there something I didn't understand clearly?"

"It's not like that, Mr. Chen, it's really because your theory is a bit advanced, and I feel that this problem has not only existed on the physical level, but has risen to the level of philosophy, so it is difficult for me to understand and accept it."

"That is to say, I can speak well, not incoherent and vague, right?"

"Yes, mainly because my level is too low."

"Robert, you don't have to be so humble. This has nothing to do with your level. Before the real single-photon source or single-electron source appears, and the real single-particle interference experiment can be done in the laboratory, is this experimental phenomenon really true? , is a debatable matter.

"But it's actually a good thing that you can think deeply about this problem. I have another homework here. Do you want to try it?"

Of course Oppenheimer knew that the homework Chen Muwu was talking about was definitely not as simple as the exercises in the notes at the back of the textbook.

The homework he mentioned may be published as a small paper in a secondary journal if it is sorted out a little.

Faced with the opportunity presented to his door, Oppenheimer certainly would not refuse.

"To what extent do you understand quantum mechanics? Can you use matrix mechanics to try to solve the spectrum of hydrogen atoms?"

"Uh, Mr. Chen, I originally planned to learn more about the mathematical tool matrix, but as soon as I came to Cambridge, I saw your paper on wave mechanics published in the journal Nature. I think this method It is more suitable for me, so I returned the related linear algebra books to the library."

Of course there is nothing wrong with Oppenheimer's approach. It is human nature to look far away and seek near.

"Robert, I'm afraid you have to borrow those math books now. I still need to use matrix mechanics for this homework. I hope you, Zhao and Shi can prove the matrix mechanics on the physical level. Mechanics and wave mechanics are equivalent.

"But I want to remind you one more thing. Don't think that you have a lot of time to do this. Physicists all over the world who have reacted should be trying to do this. You are better than If others are one day late, they may miss the opportunity to publish a paper."

Seeing that Chen Muwu's homework was indeed a paper that could be published as he thought, Oppenheimer immediately became interested.

He patted his chest and assured Chen Muwu that he would write this paper as soon as possible.

……

Chen Muwu originally planned to organize the conference minutes sent by Oppenheimer into a paper as soon as possible, and take advantage of the victory to make the probability wave, a somewhat shocking concept in physics, continue to shock the physics community.

But not long after sending Oppenheimer away, Kapitsa came to him again.

He was wearing a handsome windbreaker and a matching hat on his head. As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to pull Chen Muwu up from the chair beside the desk.

"Chen, have you noticed any difference between me today and before?"

Chen Muwu pretended to observe the Russian carefully, then nodded thoughtfully, and said solemnly, "Well, it's really different from before, I guess, you should It was a haircut that didn’t look good, so after entering the room, I still wore a hat all the time.”

It is rude to enter a room without taking off your hat, and the subtext of this behavior is that the owner of the hat does not think it is safe here.

Of course, Chen Muwu didn't really want to argue with Kapiza about this matter, he just really didn't know what kind of nerves Kapiza had suddenly lost.

Kapitsa pulled the hat off his head embarrassingly: "Chen, I thought I would leave immediately after I got you here, so I didn't take off the hat on my head."

"It's just a joke, Peter, please don't take it to heart. Did you come to see me today for anything?"

Seeing the smile on Chen Muwu's face, Kapiza also laughed: "I knew that you wouldn't bother with me. Stop dealing with your boring words,"

He pointed to the note sent by Oppenheimer on the desktop, "I bought a new car, and I will take you for a ride today!"

After speaking, Kapica directly grabbed Chen Muwu's wrist without waiting for Chen Muwu's statement.

"I'll go! Can't I go!"

After locking the door of the room, he followed Kapica to the gate of Trinity College. Chen Muwu saw a red convertible car parked beside the road.

"What brand of car is this? A Rolls-Royce?"

He doesn't know much about British cars, he only knows about luxury cars like Rolls-Royce and Bentley, and other than that, he only knows about Jaguar.

Moreover, Chen Muwu also saw that there seemed to be a metal figure welded to the top of the radiator of this car, so he guessed that this might be a Rolls Royce.

"Lagonda, the latest model released this year."

Lagonda, never heard of it.

Of course, Chen Muwu didn't know that this brand of car would later be called Aston Martin.

But he followed Kapitsa and walked a few steps forward, until he reached the front of the car, only to find that what was welded to the radiator was not that little figure named Goddess, but... a crocodile.

"Your car logo, it's really novel."

Kapica laughed loudly after hearing this: "I carved and welded this crocodile myself. How about it? My craftsmanship is not bad, right?"

Uh……

Although he didn't know much about cars, he felt that this car was expensive in terms of workmanship.

In addition, it is still in the 20s, and the automobile industry can be said to be still in its infancy, and the relative price of automobiles will only be higher than that of later generations.

Kapitsa so casually welded an ugly crocodile on such an expensive big machine?

Seeing that Chen Muwu was a bit puzzled, Kapica explained: "Sir Rutherford's birthday is coming up, and I want to give him a birthday present."

"So, you plan to give the teacher this car?"

"That's not true..." Kapicha looked at Chen Muwu like a fool, thinking how could I give away such an expensive car, "I just want to express my respect to the Jazz in this way."

Chen Muwu didn't like to comment on his behavior.

It can only be said that Kapitsa really loves his teacher Rutherford deeply.
