What Lu Zhou didn’t expect was that he received a reply from Chang’an Street the next morning when he handed the letter to Wang Peng.

In addition to recognizing his contributions and the contributions of the Nanjing Institute of Advanced Studies, he responded to his comments on the industrialization of carbon-based chips.

In fact, Lu Zhou did not have any opinions. What should I do? I only had some surprises. I didn’t expect that the efficiency of going to Beijing was so high. I finished the expert discussion meeting last night and sent it back the next morning. Came to him.

Turning the envelope over his hand, Lu Zhou couldn’t help but ask.

“So fast?”

Standing next to Lu Zhou, Wang Peng explained replied.

“This kind of confidential letter is all airlifted. It can be extended from Nanjing to Nanjing in an hour and a half. I received the call at 4 am, and the secret letter was already in the National Security Bureau of Nanjing. ”

“I don’t mean this… forget it, don’t say it,” collected the personal letter from the Elder House. Lu Zhou saw Wang Peng and said, “Send me to National Quemoy University.” ”

Wang Peng nodded, opened the door for Lu Zhou.

“Okay, please get on the bus.”

……

The carbon-based microchip has been put aside for the time being.

After arriving at National Quemoy University, Lu Zhou came to his office as usual and went to the desk to sit down.

Yesterday, due to the sudden receipt of the system mission award, Lu Zhou retired early to the Nanjing Institute of Advanced Studies, and later dragged him there because of the carbon-based microchip, resulting in half of the research so placed there.

From the drawer, I pulled out the part of the draft paper that I didn’t finish yesterday. Lu Zhou took about 5 minutes to review the previous part, then took a ballpoint pen from the pen holder, and then the unfinished formula was quiet. Quietly counted.

In the past ten minutes and a second, the hour clock on the wall clock gradually went from eight o’clock to nine.

At this moment, the office door suddenly opened, and the Senior Brother Luo with a stack of A4 papers in his hand rushed in and walked in. He did not walk to Lu Zhou and said excitedly.

“… Some time ago I turned Dyson’s thesis out and looked at it. Guess what I found?”

For this guy who never knocked on the door and didn’t take himself as an outsider, Lu Zhou raised his head and spoke with him to say with a smile.

“Dyson? Is that the Physics House who changed to writing science fiction?”

“Correcting, he is not a science fiction writer, he is one of my idols!” shaking the stack of A4 paper in his hand, Louwen Xuan said with excitement in a positive tone: “I found out from his thesis Very interesting things, I guess you will definitely be interested!”

The so-called science fiction writers are just a ridicule. Lu Zhou certainly knows that Dyson’s contribution is far more than just a few “science fiction”. The theory of “spin wave” created by him is probably the most outstanding results of 50’s Physics. One of them.

Just like Hawking, because in the field of science or science fiction is too famous, most people selectively ignore their own academic level. After all, in the eyes of mortals, the Scholar at the top of the scorn chain is either the aloof and remote pope, or the hermit who never bothered to explain anything to the mortal…

Looking at the excited Senior Brother Luo, Lu Zhou did not resonate from his excitement. Instead, he said a little bit of interest: “I am only interested in Riemann zetafunction now, if it is about quantum chromodynamics. Research… I suggest you look for other Professor discussions in the hospital.”

“Not quantum chromodynamics, what I am talking about is the Riemann zetafunction!”

“Oh?” Lu Zhou finally stopped the pen in his hand and cast his interest in the sight of Senior Brother Luo. “That said, what did you find in his thesis?”

Lu Zhou does not believe that Dyson has also studied GFB Riemann’s Conjecture.

Although mathematics and physics are not separated, no matter what you think, the distance between analytical number theory and theoretical physics is too far apart.

Putting the stack of A4 papers on Table Mountain, Louwen Xuan held the table with both hands and excitedly said to Lu Zhou.

“Accurately, it is said to be a diary written by Dyson himself. When my friend in Princeton went to the Rocky ‘archaeology’, I got it from the hands of the old man… You should know the one I said. Who is the old man.”

“Is the old man like a wizard who always wears a nightgown and dresses himself?”

“Yes, that’s him… Of course, these are not the main points. The point is that we found this,” Louwen Xuan said, picking up his mobile phone and shaking it to Lu Zhou. “In Dyson himself.” In the diary, we found the record about his conversation with Montgomery in the tea room.”

Lu Zhou’s eyebrows were gently picked.

“So what does this mean?”

Louwen Xuan said excitedly: “They talked about GFB Riemann’s Conjecture, although it sounds like a chicken and a duck, but the final result is surprising! Can you believe it? Riemann function density function of non-trivial zero distribution It is highly consistent with the associated function of the eigenvalues ​​of the random Hermitian matrix.”

When I heard the random Hermite matrix, Lu Zhou’s face finally showed the expression of interest.

Sensitively captured the change in Lu Zhou’s expression, Louwen Xuan chuckled, right hand took the stack of A4 paper on the table.

“Then, I found thesis he published in the “Physics Quick Review” the following year… Tell me, are you still not interested?”

“I will say it again.”

Sitting up from the office chair, Lu Zhou reached out and picked up the thesis printed on A4 paper, and looked at it line by line.

When he saw the second page, the expression on his face gradually became unusual.

“… surprisingly, when I was studying GFB Riemann’s Conjecture, no one ever heard anyone talk about this thesis.”

Sitting at the desk corner of the desk, Louwen Xuan grinned and said: “In fact, it is not difficult to understand. Before you made the results, have you heard of anyone who discussed the critical band at Mathoverflow? This idea has already been I haven’t seen anything new for half a century.”

“It’s also…” He glanced at the Senior Brother Luo sitting at the corner of the table, Lu Zhou casually said, “Can you sit on a stool?”

“Oh, sorry,” Louwen Xuan touched his nose and slipped off the corner of the table. “I am so used to sitting in my office.”

Turning your attention back to thesis, the more you look back, the more shocking Lu Zhou’s mind is.

It is not because of the research results of Dyson Professor itself, but rather a near-magic phenomenon he found in thesis.

That is, the distribution density of the eigenvalues ​​of an N-order random Hermitian matrix is ​​P(λ1,…,λN)=C exp[-Σiλi2]Πj>k(λj-λk)2. The distribution density is processed to some extent, and the Wigner semicircle is used to make a scale transformation on the eigenvalues, and then the average spacing of the eigenvalues ​​is normalized to Δμ~1, and the associated function P2 (μ1, μ2) can be obtained. )=1-[sin(π-μ2-μ1-)/π-μ2-μ1-]2.

What does this formula mean?

It’s nothing else, it’s Riemann’s function non-trivial zero-to-correlation function!

It’s not just like it, it’s exactly the same!

“very interesting.”

Touch the chin, Lu Zhou’s expression on the face became more and more interesting.

Accurately, it’s not just fun, it’s incredible!

Why is the purest mathematical property such as Riemann’s function non-trivial zero distribution related to the most realistic physics phenomena such as quantum systems, disordered media, and neural networks?

What does this magical association itself presage?

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou’s brow could not be gently wrinkled.

A hunch in the midst of it is telling him that he seems to be approaching something quite close to the essence.

But what is the essence of this?

At this time, the pop-up window of the new mail popped up in the lower right corner of the computer on the desk, which attracted the attention of Lu Zhou.

Noting Lu Zhou’s sudden squinting at the computer, Louwen Xuan curiously looked towards him and asked.

“what happened?”

“New mail… seems to be sent by the editorial department of the “mathematics annual”.” Holding the mouse and opening the mailbox, I saw the unread mail in the mailbox. Lu Zhou double-clicked and replied.

Hearing is a reply to the “mathematics annual”, Louwen Xuan first squatted, then excitedly asked.

“After the draft?”

The sound of “successful manuscripts” made the people in the entire office quiet and erected their ears to listen.

Especially He Changwen, who was sitting not far away, never threw his ear.

Staring at the email on the screen, Lu Zhou was silent for a while.

After a while, he said with an uncertain tone.

“…will not pass?”

The office was quiet for many seconds.

After a long time, all people’s faces showed a stern expression.

Louwen Xuan: “…?”

He Changwen: “…??”

Assistant and student: “…???”
