Title: Quantum skin care, quantum fertilizer ...... more than 2,000 a year out of "Quantum enterprise" is what origin?
Xinhua News Agency "Xinhua Viewpoint" reporters Xu Haitao, Chen Nuo, Wang Aona
"Quantum energy waves resonate harmoniously with the human body's bioelectricity, and deeply nourish the delicate skin" "Using the principle of quantum entanglement to make crops absorb more fertilizer, and pests can not lay eggs" "The duality of quantum waves and particles is Yin and Yang, which scientifically explains Feng Shui "...
As the "star" of the innovative industry, quantum technology has attracted much attention in recent years.
A recent investigation by a reporter from "Xinhua Viewpoint" found that in the past year, more than 2,000 "quantum enterprises" of various types have emerged across the country, "grafting" the principles of quantum mechanics with traditional industries such as cosmetics, agriculture, food, clothing, and automobiles.
Are these companies the new kinetic energy that reflects the potential of the industrial market, or are they "pseudo-innovations" that are hot spots?
Masks, fertilizers, feng shui... all can be packaged with quantum theory
Quantum Water, Quantum Necklace, Quantum Cigarette, Quantum Glasses, Quantum Phone Film... Searching on the e-commerce website, all kinds of "quantum products" emerge in an endless stream, which is dazzling.
The common characteristics of these commodities are high prices and "powerful functions", and their magical descriptions of "scientific principles" are even more "eye-catching."
"Your cells are losing energy every day!" A quantum facial mask product claims that it can release quantum energy waves, use the principle of frequency resonance, and resonate harmoniously with the body's bioelectricity, improve microcirculation, and deeply nourish delicate skin. Tighten your skin and transform you into a goddess of "frozen age"!"
The reporter found that some so-called quantum commodities have continuously raised their "theory" to new heights.
For example, a "quantum biological bacterial fertilizer" launched by a chemical fertilizer company in North China claims to apply the principle of quantum entanglement to "resonate quantum energy with crops", turning large molecules into small molecules, thereby increasing the fertilizer utilization rate to 90% ; It can also use the principle of vibration to prevent pests from stopping to lay eggs, thereby achieving the effect of repelling insects.
The founder of a “quantum survey research institute” in a province in southern China claimed to have found the “scientific basis” for feng shui from quantum theory.
"The biggest characteristic of quantum is that it has wave-particle duality. Wave is the'yang' in yin and yang feng shui, and the grain is'yin'. This is why feng shui works." He said proudly, which made him follow the theory. I surpassed my peers in height and reached the peak of the industry. "Many Feng Shui masters speak rightly, but in the end they asked why they couldn't tell, and I solved the fundamental problem."
Don’t believe in flicker, quantum technology has not yet entered public life
"Mask + quantum energy wave", "fertilizer + quantum entanglement", "feng shui + wave-particle duality", are these propaganda credible?
"Quantum energy wave is a coined word. Quantum entanglement, wave-particle duality, etc. are indeed terms of quantum physics, but they are used here in a mechanical way, without any scientific basis."
Tang Shibiao, PhD in physics and deputy chief engineer of the National Shield Quantum Technology Co., Ltd., said that at present, the real quantum information technology applications are mainly in quantum communication, quantum computing and quantum precision measurement, and other fields have not yet been practical.
Under the banner of "quantum + daily necessities", it is generally to rub concepts, tell stories, and may even be suspected of fraud.
How to identify whether a product uses quantum technology?
Experts said that it depends on whether it uses quantum coherence, superposition and other characteristics. If it is not used, it is rubbing the concept.
A simpler way is to remember that quantum technology has not yet been applied to people's lives at this stage.
Guo Guangcan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that quantum water, quantum insoles, quantum glasses, etc. are all hyped by using new concepts. "Quantum technology has not yet made products that people can use, and it will not be possible in a short time. It is impossible. It will soon reach the level of entering thousands of households."
Guo Guangcan said that the threshold of quantum technology is very high, and it is still very difficult to make a useful professional instrument and equipment.
"Quantum is a very important new technology in the future, which will increase human productivity, but it requires a long and arduous process."
Watch out for industrial bubbles and investigate and punish companies that violate regulations using quantum technology as a gimmick.
The "first quantum revolution" triggered by the theory of quantum mechanics gave birth to major applications such as semiconductors, lasers, and computers.
Since the beginning of the new century, new quantum technologies have emerged intensively, indicating that the "second quantum revolution" has entered the starting stage.
At present, Quantum Technology is on the "Industry Eve" from scientific exploration to product development, and the establishment of "Quantum Enterprise" has also become an upsurge.
The reporter learned from Tianyancha and other platforms that in the past year alone, more than 2,100 "quantum enterprises" of various types have been established across the country. These enterprises are either named "XX Quantum Company" or indicate quantum products within the scope of their business. .
Many of the main businesses of "XX Quantum Company" have nothing to do with quantum technology, such as Quantum Construction Company, Quantum Logistics Company, and Quantum Sports Company.
An entrepreneur has registered 9 companies and named 8 "Quantum", which are distributed in mining, agriculture, tourism, consulting, pension and other industries.
If this type of company is just catching up with the fashion in its name, another type of company, when obviously not possessing the technical capabilities, indicates "quantum" in the scope of business, and the motivation is suspicious.
For example, the business scope of some trading companies is also said to include "quantum technology research and development and application."
"Quantum is a cutting-edge technology, and currently only a few companies have R&D capabilities." The relevant person in charge of the Department of Science and Technology of Anhui Province said that Anhui is one of the provinces with the most quantum technology companies in the country, but currently there are only 13 real quantum companies. There are only more than 40 related companies in Shanghai.
It is understood that the market supervision departments in many places have filed cases and investigated and dealt with illegal companies that used "quantum technology" as a gimmick, involving illegal advertising, false propaganda, marketing fraud, etc., and transferred suspected crimes to the public security organs.
The reporter learned from the Hefei Market Supervision Administration that when registering the name of a company and filling in its business scope, "quantum" is not a term included in the negative list.
The emergence of new things has two sides, and the market supervision department is tolerant and prudent.
According to Li Shengli, the deputy dean of the Law School of Anhui University, the Consumer Rights Protection Law, the Advertising Law and other laws make it clear that consumers can claim compensation for damage to their rights due to false publicity.
Once you have entered the "pit" of false quantum, you can report it to the market supervision department, and you can also protect your rights according to law.
"Don't let'Li Gui' ruin the reputation of'Li Kui'!" Many heads of quantum technology companies said that fake quantum products and companies have a negative impact on the industry's prospects.
"It is understandable that some bubbles appear in new industries, but if'Li Gui' is allowed to speculate on the concept and make quick money, it will not only corrupt the image of the industry, but may also squeeze the market and resources and reversely eliminate real quantum enterprises." University of Science and Technology of China Said Guo Guoping, professor and chief scientist of the National Major Research Program "Semiconductor Quantum Chip".
