What I understand as "giving it to everyone" is not that everyone can understand it, but that everyone can get something different from different places in the book. For example, as a science popularization worker, I love to read the large paragraphs of the book's discussion of scientists, folk science, and "bar spirit" at the beginning of the book.

In recent years, the term quantum technology has quickly become a hot word, and a variety of quantum "technology" products have emerged in an endless stream, known as "quantum toothbrush" and "quantum toothpaste" with quantum energy waves, and "quantum stroke pen" that can smooth wrinkles. In the face of a dizzying array of "high-tech" products, what can be done to pay less IQ tax and prepare goods efficiently and wisely?
Maybe you can have your child read Dr. Yuan Lanfeng's "Quantum Information Shorthand". Dr. Yuan Lanfeng's first popular science book "Quantum Information Shorthand" was officially released on October 23, and it was sold out in two weeks after the first printing, and after the second emergency printing, it has been sold out again recently.
Starting from the perspective of ordinary readers, this book first introduces what quantum is and the quantum precision measurement that is easier to understand, then describes the "three mysteries" of quantum mechanics, and then introduces quantum computing and quantum communication, which not only maintains the rigor of science, but also achieves a high degree of interest, so that readers can understand the big picture of quantum information. In response to the public's common misunderstandings or doubts about quantum information, give a clear answer to help the public jump out of the "pseudoscience" and bottomless commercial propaganda traps. There are allusions, there is history, there is literature, there is perception, there is "love", there is "separation", there is strategy, there is ridicule...
This book is prefaced by Academician Pan Jianwei, and recommended by zhu Qingshi, Bao Xinhe, Zhou Zhonghe, Dou Xiankang, Yang Jinlong, and Du Jiangfeng! The subtitle of this book is "A New Scientific and Technological Revolution Reader for Everyone", whether you are a primary and secondary school student, a college student, a graduate student, a professional scientific researcher, a popular science popularizer, an educator, or a government worker, as long as you are interested in science, you can get a harvest from it!
The content is durable, clear and well-organized, with the consistent style of Teacher Yuan! Also, it's beautifully printed!

Teacher Yuan's new book is too exquisite, I must study seriously!

Big V Book Review
A good book to help you understand new quantum technologies such as quantum communication, quantum computing, and quantum radar.
A courier bag arrived just in time for the weekend, a new book that had been somewhat anticipated recently, "A Brief Introduction to Quantum Information." Open the title page, which also has the signature of the author Yuan Lanfeng.
Teacher Yuan is a popular science scholar on the Internet, and has spent a lot of energy to popularize the knowledge of quantum information to the public over the years. Open the table of contents of this book, starting from the basic concepts of quantum mechanics, the aspects involved in quantum information are still very comprehensive. But what struck me first was the scientific way of thinking mentioned in the first chapter, paraphrased in my own words:
First, if you want to understand a field of science and technology, you should first read professional textbooks and papers.
Second, if you can't read professional books and articles, you should read or listen to the popular science introduction of people with professional backgrounds, and find ways to understand basic concepts and conclusions of scientific research.
Third, if you still don't understand this or don't have time to understand it, you should admit that you are ignorant of the field. Knowing the boundaries of one's knowledge and abilities is also a kind of wisdom.
This is not only a requirement for ordinary people, but also for those of us who have received professional scientific training, and we must also have such an attitude towards a field with which we are not familiar. This is a scientific attitude, no one can do everything, do not understand to consult experts, can not pretend to understand. Our ancestors were also very scientific, and Old Master Kong said: "To know is to know, not to know is not to know, is to know." ”
Teacher Yuan himself is also a very rigorous scientific worker, if he encounters a problem outside his field, he will always ask in the group: Is there an expert on this issue? Please come out and comment on it.
Continue to read, the book is full of Mr. Yuan's usual funny language, and there are many exquisite illustrations. As for the content, I myself have gained something; the average reader, for information technology and quantum mechanics, may only be familiar with one of them at most, and I believe it will be full of gains.

I have been following Teacher Yuan's vibrato for a long time, and I often watch him and his friends express their insights. I also listened to his lectures offline and admired his legendary life. This time I received his new book, and there were several places that made my eyes light up. The first is the title, and now the books are popular with such titles, what to give to this kind of person, what to give to that kind of person, the most is what to give to children. But Teacher Yuan's book is "for everyone", and it is also the content of quantum mechanics, which can be described as full of confidence. After reading it, I found that I still couldn't understand a lot of the contents of the book, of course, I didn't understand quantum mechanics when I read it. What I understand as "giving it to everyone" is not that everyone can understand it, but that everyone can get something different from different places in the book. For example, as a science popularization worker, I love to read the large paragraphs of the book's discussion of scientists, folk science, and "bar spirit" at the beginning of the book. One of these points I share very much is that to question a professional scientist and overturn a dominant scientific view, you need to know more, not less, than a professional scholar. This is not the problem of "do I scold the refrigerator myself to be able to refrigerate", because the refrigerator is directly for you, just to make up for the shortcomings of your inability to refrigerate, and you can of course scold if you can't meet the service standards. And scientific theories serve a special field, you want to question, the first step is to study well, into that field, rather than lying in bed and thinking for a while, picking up the phone and scolding. Therefore, Teacher Yuan's book is to let you enter the field of quantum mechanics. For those who have a foundation in physics and are interested in it, it is highly recommended to read it.
