Deng Jiaxian (1924- 1986), member of Jiu San Society, academician of China Academy of Sciences, famous nuclear physicist, pioneer and founder of nuclear weapons development in China, has made important contributions to the research and development of nuclear weapons and atomic weapons in China.

Yang Zhenning

Yang Zhenning, 1922 10, 10/0 was born in Hefei, Anhui. He is a world-famous physicist. He is currently a professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, an honorary 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 of the United States, a member of the Academia Sinica of Taiwan Province Province, a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences and a member of the Royal Society.

He is the first China scientist to visit China after the loosening of Sino-US relations, and actively promotes Sino-US cultural exchanges and mutual understanding between Chinese and American people. He has made great contributions to the establishment of diplomatic relations, talent exchange and scientific and technological cooperation between China and the United States.

Major achievements

Deng Jiaxian

Deng Jiaxian is one of the founders of China's theoretical research on nuclear weapons. He is the main organizer and leader of China's nuclear weapons research and development, and is known as the "father of the two bombs". In the research of atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb, Deng Jiaxian led the basic theoretical research of detonation physics, fluid mechanics, equation of state and neutron transport, completed the theoretical scheme of atomic bomb, and participated in guiding the detonation simulation test of nuclear test.

Yang Zhenning

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.
