閑聊好事。就博士研究生過量擴招現狀胡謅幾句。

求問AI查找，楊振寧正式指導過幾位Ph.D 博士生畢業？

答：說是至少4位，但準確的記錄也是4位，如下。非常遺憾，大跌眼鏡？

Based on available records and academic genealogies, Dr. Chen Ning Yang (Yang Zhenning) is confirmed to have supervised at least four students to the completion of their Ph.D. degrees.

The most authoritative source for this, the Physics Genealogy Project, lists the following four Ph.D. students under his supervision:

1. Bill Sutherland (Ph.D. 1968, State University of New York at Stony Brook)
   • Thesis: Some Ground State Problems in Many Particle Systems
2. Chin-Kun Hu (Ph.D. 1972, State University of New York at Stony Brook)
   • Thesis: Critical Properties of Some Classical and Quantum Lattice Systems
3. John M. Kosterlitz (Ph.D. 1974, University of Oxford)
   • Thesis: Some problems in condensed matter and statistical physics
   • Note: Kosterlitz won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2016.
4. Duncan Haldane (Ph.D. 1978, University of Cambridge)
   • Thesis: Some Models with Exact Zero-Range Eigenfunctions
   • Note: Haldane also won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2016, sharing it with Kosterlitz.   
   • 其中2位博士(Kosterlitz and Haldane)獲得諾貝爾物理獎。算是名師出高徒。

Staggering "Batting Average": It is remarkable that two of his four confirmed Ph.D. students (Kosterlitz and Haldane) went on to win the Nobel Prize. This speaks volumes about Yang's profound insight and his ability to identify and guide exceptionally talented researchers.

求問AI查找，李正道正式指導過幾位Ph.D 博士生畢業？

答：說是至少3位，但準確的記錄也是3位，如下。

Based on the most authoritative source, the Physics Genealogy Project, Dr. Tsung-Dao (T.D.) Lee supervised at least three students to the completion of their Ph.D. degrees.

The confirmed list of his Ph.D. students is:

1. Richard M. Friedberg (Ph.D. 1962, Columbia University)
   • Thesis: Some Investigations of the Many-Body Problem and of the Yang-Mills Field
2. P. L. Hsu (or Hsiao-Peng Shen) (Ph.D. 1963, Columbia University)
   • Thesis: Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics of Relativistic Plasmas
3. Frank Wilczek (Ph.D. 1974, Princeton University)
   • Thesis: Non-Abelian Gauge Theories and Asymptotic Freedom
   • Note: Wilczek won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2004 for this very work.

當然，令人激動的是，有1位博士(Wilczek,)獲得諾貝爾物理獎。算是名師出高徒。

 

Like his colleague Chen Ning Yang, T.D. Lee supervised a very small number of Ph.D. students, but one of them, Frank Wilczek, went on to win a Nobel Prize. This highlights Lee's profound impact and his ability to identify and guide research of the highest caliber.

 

求問AI查找， 脫氧核糖核酸DNA雙螺旋發明者沃爾森，他正式指導過幾位Ph.D 博士生畢業？

同樣，至少是5位，但正式確認的也是5位。

At least five people are documented as PhD students (doctoral advisees) of James D. Watson:

• Mario Capecchi.
•  H. Robert (Bob) Horvitz
• Peter B. Moore.
• David Schlessinger.
• Joan A. Steitz.
• 其中二位後來也獲得諾貝爾生理醫學獎。
• Mario Capecchi (1967): Who later won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2007 for his work on "the principles for introducing specific gene modifications in mice by the use of embryonic stem cells."
• Phillip Sharp (1969): Who later won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1993 for the "discovery of split genes."

 

總結：科學家應該盡量做到優生計劃生育。

向AI提問，張首晟是揚振寧的學生嗎？若是中文提問。答：是，是師徒關係。若是用英文問，則是否定。
