100 outstanding Vietnamese intellectuals in Japan gathered at an event held on May 27 by the Association of Vietnamese Intellectuals in Japan (AVIJ), under the auspices of the Vietnamese Embassy, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Planning and Investment, VNA reported.

Attending the meeting were Ambassador Pham Quang Hieu; Bui The Duy, Alternate member of the Party Central Committee, deputy minister of Science and Technology; Vu Quoc Huy, director of the Directors of the National Innovation Center and 100 typical Vietnamese intellectuals across Japan.

In his remarks, Ambassador Pham Quang Hieu stressed that Japan has been a destination for many generations of Vietnamese to work, study and develop their career.

From 2000 to now, the number of international students in general and the Vietnamese community has continuously increased over the years, currently reaching nearly 500,000 people, becoming the second largest foreign community in Japan.

Among these are many people from the younger generation, many of whom have studied, researched, and worked in Japan for the past 15-20 years, and are now occupying important positions in teaching and research, management at prestigious universities, leading Japanese enterprises in many fields such as information technology, electronics-microchips, robotics, agriculture, healthcare, economics-law-society-human literature. Many people hold positions as Professors, Associate professors, business managers, or heads of the research lab.

Along with young intellectuals, start-up entrepreneurs and a large number of enthusiastic international students are playing a leading role in the development of the Vietnamese community in Japan, actively contributing to the development of the Vietnamese community in Japan as well as Japan’s socio-economic development, becoming a bridge for friendly cooperation between the two countries.

The diplomat stressed that the Vietnamese Party and State always pay special attention to overseas Vietnamese – an integral part of the nation – and have issued various policies and guidelines for them.

He lauded contributions by Vietnamese intellectuals, including those in Japan, to the success of such events as Vietnam Summits in 2019 and 2021, and symposiums, which attracted crowds of Vietnamese and Japanese intellectuals and businesses.

Who Is Anton Zeilinger – One Of The Three Nobel Winner Of Quantum Physics?

Image
Photo: Wikipedia Anton Zeilinger is a professor of physics at the University of Vienna and a Senior Scientist at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research group has demonstrated a phenomenon called quantum teleportation, which makes it possible to move a quantum state from one particle to one at a distance. For Anders Irbäck, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics, “It has become increasingly clear that a new kind of quantum technology is emerging. We can see that the laureates’ work with entangled states is of great importance, even beyond the fundamental questions about the interpretation of quantum mechanics“. Together with Anton Zeilinger, John Clauser and Alain Aspect were also awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science“.
