新华社北京8月18日电 全国人大常委会原副委员长、中国科学院原院长、“两弹一星功勋奖章”获得者周光召院士，因病医治无效，于2024年8月17日在北京逝世，享年95岁。周光召院士是中国科学院院士，理论物理学家，为我国核武器和理论物理学的发展作出了卓越贡献。
周光召院士出生于1929年5月，湖南长沙人，是中国共产党党员。他在理论物理领域取得了杰出的成就，特别是在粒子物理学和量子场论方面，其研究成果在国际上享有盛誉。1958年，他提出了粒子的螺旋态振幅，并建立了相应的数学方法，1960年推导出赝矢量流部分守恒定理（PCAC），成为该领域的奠基者之一。
周光召院士在我国的核武器研制中发挥了关键作用，为第一颗原子弹和氢弹的成功研制作出了重大贡献，因此荣获1964年国家自然科学一等奖。他在量子场论研究中的突破性成果也获得了1987年中国科学院重大科技成果奖一等奖。
周光召院士的成就不仅限于理论研究，他还被美国纽约市立大学、香港中文大学、香港大学、加拿大麦吉尔大学等世界知名大学授予荣誉博士学位。1993年，他被意大利政府授予“意大利共和国爵士勋章”，1994年荣获香港求是科技基金会“中国杰出科学家”奖，1996年，国际小行星命名委员会通过将编号为3462号的小行星命名为“周光召星”。1999年，他因对国家科技事业的杰出贡献被授予“两弹一星功勋奖章”。
周光召院士的逝世是中国科技界的巨大损失，他的科学精神和学术成就将永远铭记在历史的长河中。他的贡献不仅提升了中国的国际地位，也为后辈科学家树立了榜样。我们深切缅怀周光召院士，并向他的家人表示诚挚的慰问。

Content:
BEIJING, August 18th, 2024 – Zhou Guangzhao, a former Vice Chairman of the National People’s Congress, former President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and recipient of the Medal of Merit for the Two Bombs and the Satellite, passed away in Beijing on August 17th, 2024, at the age of 95. A member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a theoretical physicist, Zhou Guangzhao made outstanding contributions to the development of nuclear weapons and theoretical physics in China.
Born on May 1929 in Changsha, Hunan, Zhou Guangzhao was a member of the Communist Party of China. He made outstanding achievements in the field of theoretical physics, particularly in particle physics and quantum field theory, with his research recognized internationally. In 1958, he proposed the helical amplitude of particles and established the corresponding mathematical methods, and in 1960, he derived the Principle of Chiral Anomaly (PCAC), becoming one of the founders in the field.
Zhou Guangzhao played a crucial role in the development of China’s nuclear weapons, making significant contributions to the successful development of the first atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb, for which he was awarded the First Prize for National Natural Science in 1964. His breakthrough in quantum field theory also earned him the First Prize for Major Scientific and Technological Achievements of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1987.
Zhou Guangzhao’s achievements were not limited to theoretical research; he was also awarded honorary doctorates by prestigious universities such as the City University of New York, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the University of Hong Kong, and McGill University in Canada. In 1993, he was honored with the “Order of the Star of Italy” by the Italian government, and in 1994, he received the “China Outstanding Scientist Award” from the Hong Kong Qiusuo Science and Technology Foundation. In 1996, the International Astronomical Union agreed to name the asteroid with the number 3462 as “Zhou Guangzhao Asteroid.” In 1999, he was awarded the Medal of Merit for the Two Bombs and the Satellite for his outstanding contributions to China’s scientific and technological cause.
Zhou Guangzhao’s passing is a great loss to China’s scientific community, and his scientific spirit and academic achievements will be forever remembered in the annals of history. His contributions not only elevated China’s international status but also set an example for future generations of scientists. We deeply mourn Zhou Guangzhao and extend our sincere condolences to his family.
