When it comes to great physicists, the first thing that comes to mind must be Newton, Einstein and Hawking, the great figures learned in textbooks. However, few people know that Yang Zhenning's achievements are not inferior to theirs. Even in today's physics circle, he is the first person who deserves it.

In fact, parity, which won the Nobel Prize, can only be regarded as the second research achievement in the scientific career, and the first scientific achievement is Yang Mills' gauge field theory. This scientific research project can be said to be the basis of the standard model of particle physics. Seven Nobel Prizes are related to this standard model, which shows its greatness.

In addition, Yang Zhenning also has many research achievements in the fields of particle physics, statistical mechanics and condensed matter physics, including phase transition theory, theoretical explanation of flux ionization of superconductors, time inversion and so on.

Character introduction:

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.
