Recently, various scams labeled as "quantum" have emerged, such as "quantum water cup tea can fight cancer", "quantum mattress lying down to treat chronic diseases", and "quantum equity increasing tenfold", which have frequently caught many consumers, especially middle-aged and elderly people. Why has quantum technology become a breeding ground for scams, despite being a frontier science highland? How can the public distinguish between truth and falsehood? Quantum is not a panacea. The public is easily misled by the concept of quantum, and the root cause is the dual effect of 'scientific threshold+psychological needs'. ”Yan Huaizhi, a member of the Information and Communication Science and Technology Committee of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, bluntly stated that concepts such as "superposition state" and "entangled state" in quantum physics contradict daily experience, making it difficult for the public to judge their authenticity based on common sense, leaving room for scammers to speculate. More importantly, the scam accurately captured three major psychological factors: health anxiety among middle-aged and elderly people, technology worship among some, and the public's greed for high returns. To detect a scam, one must first understand what quantum is. Professor Yu Changshui, Secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Physics at Dalian University of Technology, explained: "Quantum physics studies the motion laws of microscopic particles such as electrons and photons. The wonderful phenomena of the quantum world only exist in the microscopic field and depend on harsh conditions." He cited popular concepts as examples, stating that quantum superposition is a superposition state in which microscopic particles can exist in multiple states, and will only "collapse" to a certain determined state during measurement; Quantum entanglement is the state correlation between two microscopic particles, where a change in the state of one particle instantly affects the other. But these states are extremely fragile, and in ordinary environments, they will instantly 'decoherence' and cannot be applied to the human body or daily necessities. Where is quantum technology used? What are the characteristics of its technology? Yu Changshui introduced that from the perspective of quantum technology research and transformation, the application of quantum technology generally has three basic characteristics. Firstly, it is "harsh environmental dependence", which usually requires special conditions such as ultra-low temperature, high vacuum, high-precision magnetic field laser control, measurement, etc. For example, quantum entangled states will instantly "collapse" in ordinary environments; Secondly, there is the concept of "high investment and high threshold". A set of quantum experimental equipment costs at least tens of thousands, and can cost millions to tens of millions of yuan. The research and development team needs to be composed of experts from multiple fields such as physics, computer science, and materials science; In addition, it is "application scenario specific", currently only used in a few specific fields, most of which are still at the laboratory level, far from reaching the level of "universal civilian products". The promotion of 'quantum bracelets' and' quantum mattresses' on the market is essentially using the public's unfamiliarity with quantum concepts to create gimmicks. These products are completely contradictory to the basic features of quantum technology implementation and belong to typical concept hype. ”Yu Changshui explained. What are the most common "scientific packaging" techniques among the endless "quantum scams"? Yu Changshui said that one is "terminology grafting", combining concepts such as "quantum" with "energy", "magnetic field", and "resonance". In addition, the combination of "quantum" with certain product terms forms certain "quantum products" and fabricates unverifiable language such as "quantum energy field regulates human function". The core loophole is the "lack of quantitative indicators" - scientific conclusions require measurable data support, but scammers never say "how to quantify the regulatory effect" or "how the effect is reflected through physical examination indicators". The second is "authoritative fraud", forging "International Quantum Association certification" and "proof of cooperation with a well-known university", and even inviting actors to play the role of "quantum experts" on the platform. The loophole is that these "certifications" cannot be found in formal scientific research databases. The third is "case fiction", fabricating stories such as "a cancer patient using quantum products for rehabilitation" and "an elderly person using quantum wristbands to lower blood pressure". The loophole is that it cannot provide real medical records and third-party medical verification. Please keep this' anti fraud guide 'safe. What role can science popularization work play in preventing quantum scams? Yan Huaizhi interpreted that science popularization is the "first line of defense" against quantum scams, with the function of "breaking the information gap" and allowing the public to establish a basic "quantum technology cognitive framework", transforming from "not understanding" to "being able to judge". For vulnerable groups such as middle-aged and elderly people, science popularization content should try to popularize professional terminology, clarify that 'most civilian quantum products are scams', and combine with the' quantum health fraud case 'and' quantum wealth management case 'solved by the public security organs, using the story form of' victim experience+scam dismantling ', so that the public can identify scam tricks. ”Yan Huaizhi stated. How to detect the fraudulent tricks of quantum physics? The relevant person in charge of Dalian Public Security has provided a "practical guide" to help judge: any "quantum product" or "quantum investment" that directly targets ordinary consumers and claims to immediately solve daily problems such as health, wealth, and education can almost be concluded to be a scam. The true quantum technology is still at the stage of basic research in top laboratories and preliminary applications in specific fields, far from the level of mass consumer goods. The person in charge also stated that if there is suspicion of encountering a scam, four types of evidence should be retained: promotional materials, transaction vouchers, identity information of the scammer, and evidence of traffic diversion, and then reported to the local police station. The real scientific breakthroughs will be announced by authoritative institutions or media, and will not be promoted through street propaganda, "said the person in charge. (New Society)
