Yang Zhenning,1June 1922+1 year1October was born in Hefei, Anhui Province, and is a world-famous physicist. He is currently a professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, a professor at Tsinghua University, an emeritus professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, a member of the China Academy of Sciences, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a member of the Academia Sinica in Taiwan Province Province, a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences and a member of the Royal Society.
From 65438 to 0949, he entered the Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies for postdoctoral research and began to cooperate with Li Zhengdao. At that time, the dean said that his favorite scene was Yang and Li walking on the lawn of Princeton. In the same year, in cooperation with Enrico Fermi, the first elementary particle composite model was put forward.
1954, Yang Zhenning and Mills put forward the theoretical structure of non-Abelian gauge field.
1956, he and Li Zhengdao published a paper, which overturned a central message of physics-parity conservation elementary particles are exactly the same as their mirror images. ?
Yang Zhenning has made landmark contributions in particle physics, statistical mechanics and condensed matter physics.
In 1950s, he cooperated with R.L. Mills to put forward the theory of non-Abelian gauge field. 1956 cooperated with Li Zhengdao to put forward the law of parity conservation of weak interaction; A lot of pioneering work has been done in particle physics and statistical physics, and Yang-Baxter equation has been put forward, which has opened up a new direction for the study of quantum integrable systems and many-body problems. In addition, Yang Zhenning also promoted the establishment of the Institute of Mathematical Sciences of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Advanced Research Center of Tsinghua University, the Theoretical Physics Laboratory of Nankai University and the Advanced Academic Research Center of Sun Yat-sen University.
1957, he and Li Zhengdao jointly put forward the theory of parity non-conservation and won the Nobel Prize in physics. Yang Zhenning is proud of being cultivated by China culture. When accepting the Nobel Prize, his representative delivered a speech: "I am deeply aware of the fact that, broadly speaking, I am the product of China culture and western culture, which are both harmonious and conflicting. I want to say that I am proud of my China tradition, and I am also committed to modern science.
1966, Professor and Director of Institute of Physics, State University of New York at Stony Brook; 1986, Professor Bowen of the Chinese University of Hong Kong; 1998, Professor Tsinghua University; 20 17, restoration of China nationality; 20 18 served as honorary chairman of the board of trustees of West Lake University.
