I don't have any particular recipe [for developing new proofs] ... It is the reason why doing research is challenging as well as attractive. It's like being lost in a jungle and trying to use all the knowledge that you can gather to come up with some new tricks, and with some luck you might find a way out.
The beauty of Shor's algorithm is that it shows how a quantum computer can solve a problem that is believed to be intractable for classical computers.
I like to take things step by step, and I don’t like to look too far ahead.
在F1中，如果你停滞不前，就等于在倒退。
唯一真正的发现之旅不在于寻找新的风景，而在于拥有新的眼光。
