I am devoted to scientific research, but you want to trick me into having a love relationship?

Chapter 478: Fake fans, don’t you know that I’m also good at physics?

By the evening of the second day after the recruitment was issued, Xu Qingzhou had received five resumes.

He read it roughly and passed all of them.

Let's put it this way, just like this sentence that appears on some resumes in China: Proficient in Word, Excel and other office software, and can basically use PS
Translation: No experience, not stupid, able to open and close various office software.

In short, you can more or less tell whether there is something real from the resume. Many people are obviously here for the $6.5 salary or his status as a Fields Medal winner, but they have no real talent at all.

Next, Xu Qingzhou received more than 20 emails intermittently. After selection, he finally kept two and arranged an interview time.

On Thursday morning, Xu Qingzhou met his first interviewee at a cafe off Massachusetts Avenue.

Nerys Green.

A tall and thin boy with dark circles under his eyes.

"Good morning, Mr. Green."

"Good morning, Professor Xu." Green sat down in front of Xu Qingzhou.

Xu Qingzhou flipped through the other person's resume on the tablet and said, "You once worked with your advisor on condensed matter research."

"Yes, something about quantum spin liquids."

Xu Qingzhou nodded, put down the tablet, and said in a deep voice: "Tell me about the particle-hole excitation model in the neutron scattering experiment to identify the characteristic peak of Kitaev quantum spin liquid."

Dave Rossiter was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

Xu Qingzhou frowned slightly and reminded: "It is the content of the article "Capturing Fractional Excitation Spectra in κ-Type Organic Salt Crystals" that you published in the Journal of Applied Physics Letters."

"of course I know."

Green nodded quickly: "EtMeSb[Pd(dmit)] has a highly isotropic two-dimensional triangular lattice structure and strong electron correlation, which can effectively suppress traditional magnetic order."

"Ouke, you have given a very comprehensive explanation, but could you first tell me the details of the particle-hole excitation model?"

"This crystal is composed of alternating layers of organic cations (EtMeSb) and [Pd(dmit)] anions, forming a quasi-two-dimensional triangular lattice."

Xu Qingzhou nodded again and continued, "Well, I understand. What details do you have about the particle-hole excitation model in your paper?"

"The experimental progress of κ-type organic salt crystals provides the most solid evidence to date for quantum spin liquids."

25 minutes passed.

"OK, let's end the interview here, Mr. Green. I will send you the interview results within two days."

"Okay, thank you Professor Xu."

After Nellis Green left, Xu Qingzhou rubbed his brows, feeling a little helpless. This brother was simply the MIT version of "Chief Ma".

My resume says that I have written three articles for top journals. It seems like I have some experience, but it’s hard to put it into words.

Although Xu Qingzhou was speechless, he was not that surprised. He thought that the thesis could be completed through other means.

Moreover, from subsequent conversations, it seems that he has been away from this industry for a long time and is not even clear about the hottest research directions at present.

He shook his head and passed the man over.

The appointment with the next interviewee was at 10 a.m. and he still had to wait for 20 minutes. He was not in a hurry. He took out his tablet to read the information and understand the technical advantages and unresolved problems of the "intermediate layer gradient composite" patent in the first-layer superconducting metal film preparation technology.

10 minutes passed.

"Hello, Professor Xu."

Xu Qingzhou looked up and saw an Asian-looking girl appear in front of him.

The girl wearing a white T-shirt and a miniskirt can definitely be called a beauty, but Xu Qingzhou has been with Song Yao every day and has long been immune to her, so he doesn't feel any fluctuations in his heart.

He put away the tablet and said, "Hello, Li Tian, ​​right? Please sit down."

The second person to be interviewed was Xia Guoren, an international student at Shuimu University who had just graduated with a doctorate this year. Judging from his resume, he was a relatively outstanding person among the group. Before Xu Qingzhou could speak, the girl had already spoken: "Professor, can I ask you a question first?"

"You said."

Xu Qingzhou nodded.

Li Tian looked at Xu Qingzhou expectantly: "Are you married?"

Hearing this question, Xu Qingzhou felt that today's interview was probably over, and said, "Student Li, this seems to have nothing to do with our interview today."

"Okay." Li Tian stopped talking.

Although Xu Qingzhou felt that there was no hope, he still followed the procedure and got to the point: "Student Li Tian, ​​you are from the Department of Applied Mathematics. Tell me about your understanding of this project."

"The future goals of high-quality preparation of the first layer of superconducting metal film in the superconducting quantum chip patent can be summarized into the following core directions: First, breaking through the material performance limit"

"By improving the design of the intermediate layer, single crystal or quasi-single crystal growth of α-Ta(110)/Nb thin films is achieved on silicon substrates, reducing the pinning effect of grain boundaries on superconducting current."

Compared to the previous person, Li Tian's knowledge reserve is quite good, and can even be said to be excellent. However, Xu Qingzhou suspected that this woman had other purposes.

"Professor, I have read all your papers, including Cramer's Theorem and the Twin Prime Theorem. You are my idol. When I saw your recruitment, I couldn't sleep all night. I just wanted to send in my resume."

"Professor Xu, you are a mathematics professor, why did you choose condensed matter as your research direction?"

"Professor, professor."

A good interview turned into a fan meeting.

20 minutes later, only Xu Qingzhou was left.

He took a sip of coffee, feeling that his ears were finally quiet. Now he had only one thought in his mind: Fake fans, don’t you know that I’m also good at physics?

"Li Tian. There's nothing wrong with her skills, but she obviously doesn't put her heart into experiments."

Xu Qingzhou shook his head and took two sips. He didn't want to stay any longer and got up to go to Professor Roberts's place. In terms of coffee taste, Horn's was better.

The office was a little messier than when Xu Qingzhou came. Professor Roberts and Horn's desks were covered with manuscripts.

"Hi, Xu."

After saying hello, Horn asked with a smile, "Would you like a cup of coffee?"

"Of course, that's my purpose."

Xu Qingzhou nodded and gave up the idea of ​​changing Horn's pronunciation. Only those who were truly weak would care about it, and he was not weak anyway.

Professor Roberts stopped calculating and asked, "How is your team recruiting?"

"For now, I'm still alone." Xu Qingzhou sighed.

Professor Roberts: “You are in trouble.”

“It’s all within expectations.”

Xu Qingzhou shrugged, not in a hurry. Recruitment is something that needs to be done slowly and cannot be rushed.

Professor Roberts smiled and said, "I'm glad to see that you are not discouraged. If you need help, you can always come to us."

"Thank you, professor." Xu Qingzhou nodded in thanks.

While Horn was serving coffee, he handed over a manuscript: "Put aside the headache of recruiting for now, and come and take a look at this."

Xu Qingzhou stared at the above formula for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "The problem you are facing now is that you need to prove that the expected calculation time of this algorithm is T/n+O(T∞)"

Professor Roberts and his team are working on dynamic load balancing adjustments, hoping to improve the computing efficiency and scale of the model.

"Yes, now, we need your help even more!"
