In order to pursue a more profound knowledge of quantum mechanics, scientist Duan Luming chose to cross the ocean to the United States to study at the age of 29.
Holding the Sloan Award with a high gold content, he served as a tenured professor at the University of Michigan, and Duan Luming, who is famous overseas, has been recognized by the world's great power in the field of quantum.
But it is also such a person, because of a phone call at home, he can resolutely give up everything and choose to return to China to repay the service. If patriotism meets overseas obstruction, how will the parties choose?
Overseas "retention" of this "quantum nova" is extremely strong, but it can persist in "resistance" for 8 years, and Duan Luming is not willing to compromise. What happened at the end of the day? How good is Duan Luming's speech? Listen to ziya childlike students observe specific narration.
Collide with physics and hit the spark of love
In 1972, Duan Luming was born in Tongcheng, Anhui Province, and he understood things very early in a family of workers and peasants, and he also had a composure far beyond his peers. The boy, who is also slightly silent in character, devotes most of his thoughts to studying.
As they grow up little by little, from elementary school to junior high school and high school, boys' homework increases little by little, and the difficulty of learning becomes higher and higher.
Especially after starting to study the two courses of physics and chemistry, many children of the same age look at these two subjects as if they were looking at two unclimbable mountains.
But Duan Luming is different, he is very fond of physics and chemistry. The first time he was exposed to physics experiments, the boy was deeply attracted by the course, as if he had opened the door to a whole new world, and soon became "obsessed" with physics class.
He was willing to experiment after class, and even willing to look at books and do other interesting experiments.
For example, if a candle is placed at the bottom of the water basin, and then the whole candle is covered with a quilt, gradually the water level of the cup rises, and the candle is extinguished.
This fully explains the importance of oxygen, but also let Duan Luming clearly recognize that combustion also needs oxygen, after combustion, the pressure inside and outside the cup is also different, so the water level inside the cup will slowly rise, and the candle will naturally go out.
These interesting physics experiments made Duan Luming unable to extricate himself from it, which not only broadened Duan Luming's horizons, but also exercised his strong practical cognitive ability.
Slowly, Duan Luming's desire to explore the physics department became more and more intense, and the knowledge in the textbook could no longer meet the needs of young people, so he began to explore continuously, integrating the knowledge in the textbook and the truth in practice and using it.
Because he brought the model he made to the school to show his classmates, the teenager's strong hands-on ability was discovered by the teacher. As a result, in many competition fields inside and outside the province, Duan Luming became a "spire" type figure.
It was also twice to win the awards of the national physics competition, and achieved excellent results in the simulation test, and Duan Luming got a free test guarantee place at the University of Science and Technology of China.
Stepping into the door to science and technology with a heart of expectation and curiosity, Duan Luming learned about esoteric physics here.
After many trials and tribulations, young people choose quantum science, which is an extremely esoteric profession and a challenging discipline.
Race freely in the quantum world
Duan Luming showed great talent in learning the scientific theories of the quantum world, and he was able to quickly understand the theoretical knowledge said by the professor and practice it in combination with reality.
Figures like the proud son of heaven naturally soon emerged, and Duan Luming was soon appreciated by Professor Guo Guangcan, the first to carry out quantum information research in the mainland.
Professor Guo is very willing to take this excellent student to explore the quantum world, Duan Luming is sometimes immersed in the laboratory and cannot extricate himself, always waiting until the last moment of the laboratory locking the door to come out, the teacher's assistance and his own profound learning allow Duan Luming to accumulate rich experience.
Time flies and passes by, many people will be a little abandoned in the school time, but Duan Luming has not stopped for a moment, he not only successfully obtained the graduation certificate of the god of research but also read a doctorate from the University of Science and Technology of China.
In the process of learning, he has worked with Professor Guo to develop quantum error avoidance coding, which has been respected by experts and scholars in the world field.
After graduating with his ph.D., he was invited by his supervisor to stay on as a doctoral supervisor, and at the age of 29, Lu Ming became the youngest doctoral supervisor and the youngest professor at the University of Science and Technology of China.
In the face of a group of students who are not a few years younger than himself, Duan Luming uses the knowledge in his mind to make the other party "surrender".
Also at the age of 29, his collaborative paper "Using Bose-Einstein condensates to prepare multiparticle entanglement" was published, improving the optimal accuracy of atomic clocks by nearly 1,000 times, and Duan Luming became the "atomic 'God'" preached by overseas populations.
In order to pursue a higher academic realm, this early self-propelled person wants to combine with the outside world, he bid farewell to his mentor, went to the University of Michigan in the United States alone, and left a sentence of "if necessary, even if you contact me", and then set up research again.
It's gold that shines everywhere it goes. I don't know if you know about the Sloan Prize, which is known as the "Nobel weather vane" in the industry. Duan Luming is 32 years old, and he has added such a great honor to himself.
After another three years of polishing, he was hired by the University of Michigan as a tenured professor, and he became a talent that the University of Michigan attaches great importance to, at this time, this successful middle-aged man seems to have reached the peak of his life.
What seemed like a normal and step-by-step life was interrupted by a phone call. Listening to the other party report to the door, Duan Luming stood up in surprise.
Use your hands to help the motherland take off
On the other side of the phone line is the world-renowned scientist Yao Zhizhi, and from the words of the other party, he feels the long-lost blood and impulse.
Just a sentence of "the motherland needs you", Duan Luming could not resist, he wanted to return to the motherland, to participate in the formation of Chinese his own laboratory.
Without any hesitation, he submitted a resignation report to the University of Michigan, but how could a high-end talent like Duan Luming be willing to let go easily?
Even though Duan Luming expressed his willingness to transfer all the research and achievements currently in hand, the college still rejected his application for a "reason that is not sufficient", and then gave more annual salary and research funds to retain.
Back and forth negotiations still can not achieve what he wants, unwilling to compromise on this Duan Luming has his own countermeasures. Although the Academy did not agree to his long-term departure, there was no way to control his temporary departure.
From receiving the needs of the motherland, Duan Luming began his own "two-end running" journey.
As long as the work of the college is completed, the professor with a motherland will return to China and contribute to the process of the quantum laboratory in the motherland from scratch.
From the drafting of the plan to the real implementation, Duan Luming can be said to have participated in the whole process. During this period, he also insisted on his decision to resign.
After 8 years of doing so, as if it seemed to understand that retention was useless, the University of Michigan had to let him go.
In 2018, Duan Luming's application was approved. This man who has been away from his hometown for 15 years has truly returned to his homeland.
Without the slightest rest, he entered the Quantum Information Center of Tsinghua University, he not only stood on the three-foot podium to lead the young generation of Chinese students forward, but also brought his scientific research achievements over the years back to the motherland, and the ongoing projects were also re-launched.
Duan Luming's road back to China can be said to be very arduous, but as long as he has the country in his heart and the confidence and obsession to serve the country loyally, nothing can stop his determination to return to China.
There are always some people who warm everyone in the ordinary years, who are willing to give up the honor in front of them and the life that has been formed, and use their hands to promote the development of the motherland and let the motherland have more possibilities in the future.
Now 49 years old, Duan Luming has written a patriotic story with his own personal deeds, so are you inspired to watch the story?
Generations of young teenagers support the young motherland, under the exemplary power of predecessors, the young people who are growing up, are you willing to study for the rise of China?
