介绍： 18th October 2025 – (Beijing) Yang Chen-ning, widely regarded as one of the foremost physicists of the twentieth century, shared the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics with T D Lee for proposing that parity is not conserved in weak interactions, overturning a bedrock assumption of physics at the time. He is also celebrated for his collaboration with Robert Mills on non‑Abelian gauge theory, now known as Yang–Mills theory, a cornerstone of modern particle physics and a framework as transformative for the field as relativity.2025年10月18日，北京——被广泛认为是二十世纪最杰出的物理学家之一的杨振宁，于1957年与李政道共同获得诺贝尔物理学奖，以表彰他们提出“弱相互作用中宇称不守恒”的理论，这一发现颠覆了当时物理学界的基本假设。他与美国物理学家罗伯特·米尔斯合作提出的“非阿贝尔规范场论”，即“杨–米尔斯理论”，更成为现代粒子物理的基石，其影响之深远可与爱因斯坦的相对论相提并论。
Born on 1st October 1922 in Hefei, Anhui, Yang studied in Beijing and later at the National Southwestern Associated University during the war years. He received his BSc in 1942 and an MSc in 1944, then travelled to the United States under the Boxer Indemnity Scholarship. He earned his PhD at the University of Chicago in 1948, working initially with Edward Teller and briefly assisting Enrico Fermi thereafter.杨振宁1922年10月1日出生于安徽合肥，青年时期先后在北京及抗战时期的西南联合大学求学。1942年获理学学士学位，1944年获硕士学位，随后以庚子赔款奖学金赴美留学。1948年，他在芝加哥大学获得博士学位，先后师从爱德华·泰勒，并短暂协助恩里科·费米从事研究。
Yang joined the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in 1949, becoming a permanent member in 1952 and a full professor in 1955. His collaboration with Lee blossomed during this period, culminating in their parity‑violation proposal in 1956 and the Nobel award the following year. In 1965 he moved to Stony Brook University as the Albert Einstein Professor of Physics and founding director of the Institute for Theoretical Physics, later named the C N Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics. He retired from Stony Brook in 1999 as emeritus professor.1949年，杨振宁进入美国普林斯顿高等研究院，1952年成为正式成员，1955年升任教授。正是在此期间，他与李政道展开密切合作，于1956年提出“宇称不守恒”假说，并于次年共同荣获诺贝尔奖。1965年，他受聘为纽约州立大学石溪分校的阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦讲座教授，并创立理论物理研究所（后更名为C.N.杨理论物理研究所），1999年荣休。
Beyond particle physics, Yang’s scholarship spanned statistical mechanics, condensed‑matter theory, and integrable systems. His work with T D Lee led to the Lee–Yang circle theorem on phase transitions; he introduced the concept of off‑diagonal long‑range order in superconductivity, and with Tai‑Tsun Wu studied topological aspects of gauge fields, including the Wu–Yang monopole. The Yang–Baxter equation, arising from his studies of one‑dimensional many‑body systems, became foundational in integrable models with far‑reaching impact across physics and mathematics.除粒子物理外，杨振宁的研究涵盖统计力学、凝聚态物理与可积系统等多个领域。他与李政道合作提出了“李–杨圆定理”，揭示相变的数学性质；他在超导理论中引入“非对角长程有序”概念，并与吴大峻共同研究规范场的拓扑结构，提出“吴–杨单极子”模型。他在一维多体系统研究中提出的“杨–巴克斯特方程”，成为可积系统理论的基础，在物理与数学多个领域产生深远影响。
Yang was elected to leading academies worldwide, including the American Physical Society, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Academia Sinica, the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Royal Society, and held memberships in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Philosophical Society and the US National Academy of Sciences. He received honorary doctorates from Princeton University, Moscow State University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, among others.杨振宁曾当选为多国顶级学术机构成员，包括美国物理学会、中国科学院、中央研究院、俄罗斯科学院及英国皇家学会，并为美国艺术与科学院、美国哲学会及美国国家科学院院士。他还获颁普林斯顿大学、莫斯科大学及香港中文大学等多所知名高校的荣誉博士学位。
After first returning to China in 1971, Yang played an active role in cultivating the physics community, later serving as an honorary director at Tsinghua University’s Center for Advanced Study. He was a founding figure of the Association of Asia Pacific Physical Societies and lent his name to the C N Yang Award recognising young researchers in the region.971年，杨振宁首次回到中国大陆，此后积极推动中国物理学发展，曾任清华大学高等研究中心名誉主任。他也是亚太物理学会联盟的创始人之一，并以其名字设立“C.N.杨奖”，以表彰亚太地区的青年物理学研究者。
In his personal life, Yang married Tu Chih‑li in 1950; the couple had three children. After Tu’s passing in 2003, he married Weng Fan in 2005. He renounced his US citizenship in 2015 and marked his centenary on 1st October 2022.在个人生活方面，杨振宁于1950年与杜致礼结婚，育有三名子女。杜致礼于2003年去世后，他于2005年与翁帆结婚。2015年，杨振宁放弃美国国籍，并于2022年10月1日庆祝百岁诞辰。
