Quantum Supremacy

"Quantum Supremacy, Information Reincarnation? Professor Shen, I disagree with your views!" Academician Wester shouted, his behavior somewhat out of control.

Shen Qi remained unmoved, his mind as still as water, while Director Qu beside him frowned slightly and lightly stamped his foot.

You red-haired old monster, how dare you be so insolent?

Debates among scholars are very common; without intense intellectual clashes, there would be no major inventions that change the course of human civilization.

However, this is an academic exchange meeting jointly organized by the Chinese and British governments, so it should be friendly and harmonious, and not noisy or disruptive.

While both are British, Dr. Lowry and other business representatives performed very well, while Academician Wester seemed out of place.

In his article "My Views on the Black Hole Information Paradox," Shen Qi proposed the concept of "Quantum Supremacy and Information Reincarnation," clearly indicating his support for Quantum Theory.

This means that Shen Qi has placed himself on the opposite side of Thorne and Hawking.

As Thorne's student, West, whose academic beliefs aligned with Thorne's, strongly questioned Shen Qi's "My Views on the Black Hole Information Paradox".

It should be noted that "My Views on the Black Hole Information Paradox" was published as a special issue in Science.

Even if a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Sciences objects, it's all for naught.

Academician Wester was so agitated that even the head of the British delegation Randolph, couldn't stand it anymore.

Randolph originally didn't want to bring West to China, but West insisted on coming.

Unfortunately, West was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Scientists, so Randolph had no choice but to bring him to China.

Randolph suggested, "Academician Wester, topics involving Quantum Theory and Black Hole Theory are too complex; even after twenty years of discussion, a consensus might not be reached. Perhaps we could have a group discussion with Chinese Theoretical Physics in another setting?"

Academician Wester shrugged and said, "Oh, no problem."

Shen Qi waved his hand and gave the order: Take West away!

Academician Wester was then led out of the main venue and received by Researcher Sha Dongdong from the Theoretical Physics Research Team of Shen Qi Research Center.

Academician Wester was displeased. He said, "I only Shen Qi. Who are you, young man?"

"Academician Wester, my name is Sha Dongdong. I have participated in research projects on M-theory and Superstring Theory with Professor Shen Qi and Professor Witten." Sha Dongdong gave a brief self-introduction.

"Oh, really?" Academician Wester shook hands with Sha Dongdong and said, "I fully agree with your research findings on M-theory and Superstring Theory, but I have doubts about Professor Shen's views on Quantum Supremacy and Information Reincarnation."

Sha Dongdong tactfully said, "So what if you have doubts? I'm not here to invite you to review the paper 'My Views on the Black Hole Information Paradox,' but to convey Professor Shen's academic views to you in detail. Come, follow me, I'll show you something."

A strong general has no weak soldiers under his command; a powerful leader has no weaklings under his command.

Through Shen Qi's guidance, a group of academic backbone members, such as Sha Dongdong and Tang Yuan, have grown up in their center and become capable of handling their own research.

The exchange between Tang Yuan and representatives from companies such as Laurie took place in a friendly atmosphere.

"Professor Tang, you are very welcome to visit our R&D center and factory at our UK headquarters." Dr. Lowry showed his enthusiasm, raising his coffee cup in a toasting gesture.

"There's a chance, there's a chance." Tang Yuan was drinking green tea; he always kept his distance from caffeine.

"I have learned a lot from you in just one morning. Academic exchange is a two-way street. May I ask if you would allow me to present our company's research projects?" Dr. Lowry asked politely.

"Of course." Tang Yuan gestured for them to proceed.

Dr. Lowry opened his laptop and clicked on a presentation file.

The document mentions a car, small, cute, rounded, and agile.

Tang Yuan asked curiously, "Wow, 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 2.1 seconds, 1500 km range on a full charge, so this is an electric car?"

"Yes, an electric car," Dr. Lowry nodded, gesturing in the air as he said, "Its battery is only slightly larger than a cell phone and is installed inside the car. There are two ways to charge it: one is to charge it at a charging station, and the other is to remove the battery and take it home to charge. Both methods only take 6 minutes to fully charge."

Tang Yuan asked, "Is this just a concept, or is there already a prototype?"

"We have been commissioned by a car company and have already produced a prototype."

"If this car goes into mass production, it won't be cheap, will it?"

"Neither cheap nor expensive. The UK has already completely banned gasoline and diesel cars, and the rest of Europe will follow suit. New energy vehicles, including electric vehicles, are the only way out for car companies."

"With acceleration comparable to a gasoline supercar, a range of 1,500 kilometers, and an affordable price, this car will probably sell like hotcakes once it goes into mass production and hits the market!" Tang Yuan's eyes sparkled. He was also a car enthusiast and currently drove a pure electric car that could accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just over 10 seconds and had a range of 650 kilometers on a full charge.

"Sales in Europe should be more optimistic, because most Europeans buy smaller cars, while in China, I've found that larger cars are more popular."

"Here's the situation." Tang Yuan smiled. "You bald-headed PhD, you've only been in China a few days, but you've already observed things very carefully."

Dr. Lowry: "Actually, we can do even better. With some technological improvements, we can theoretically achieve a range of 2,500 kilometers and an acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in under 2 seconds."

Tang Yuan was very interested. "An invincible little hot hatch! If this car goes into mass production, I'll definitely buy one."

Laurie said sincerely, "So, Professor Tang and Shen Qi Research Center, is it possible for you to engage in specific cooperation with us? We are willing to show our utmost sincerity in transforming your center's academic treasures into a vast market and enormous wealth."

"Hahaha!" Tang Yuan laughed heartily. He understood what Laurie meant: You British people want to buy our center's academic intellectual property rights again.

The companion piece to "Research and Application of Iron-Boron Amorphous Alloy" is "Research on Entropy in Amorphous Material Synthesis". In this series of papers, the Shen Qi Research Center demonstrated several important academic issues, and its research results can be applied to certain engineering fields, such as small-volume, high-performance batteries.

As Laurie said, such innovative inventions are a treasure trove of academic knowledge.

Large photos of Shen Qi also hang on the walls of the central café; they are a series of photos of Shen Qi receiving National Commendation at the Great Hall.

Tang Yuan looked at Shen Qi's photo, and Director Shen's words cleansed his soul. "Dear Dr. Lowry, lunchtime is ready."

"Oh, let's talk while we eat."

"We can talk freely about academic matters. But I don't know anything about business, so let's not talk about business. So, shall we have hot pot or Peking duck?"
