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

Chapter 480: The Half-Assembled Team

On August 8, Xu Qingzhou and the Academic Affairs Office confirmed the course to be opened - Oscillatory Integrals and Their Applications.

Oscillatory integrals can handle integrands with high-frequency oscillations, which Xu Qingzhou had previously learned in depth when studying local smoothness. In the field of mathematics, harmonic analysis and partial differential equations, or number theory, oscillatory terms in L functions or ζ functions are handled for the derivation of zero-point distributions or asymptotic formulas.

In the field of physics, this thing is related to classical wave phenomena, quantum mechanics and quantum theory, as well as signal processing.

In the morning, Xu Qingzhou got off the car with his notebook. After walking a few steps, he saw a familiar figure at the intersection.

My former student, Sun Simin, has become much more stable than she was a year ago.

"professor."

Sun Simin also saw Xu Qingzhou and came over to say hello.

"Didn't you go home during the summer vacation?" Xu Qingzhou nodded in response. Undergraduate students had already had their vacation in August.

"No, I'm staying here to work during the summer vacation."

Sun Simin was holding a book called "A Brief Introduction to Physical Vapor Deposition" in his arms.

“Are you under financial pressure?”

Sun Simin shook her head embarrassedly and said, "I'm just a bit idle, so I'm looking for something to do."

"One day in the future you will find that the summer jobs you had before were just water in your brain."

Xu Qingzhou joked that he had worked during the summer vacation before, but later found that it was not very meaningful and it was better to invest in himself first, read some books and do some exercises.

As for him, his parents are both civil servants. His family is not very wealthy, but they still have some savings, so there is no problem for him to study abroad for two or three years.

By the time he reached his doctoral stage, he already had a considerable income and had no financial worries.

Of course, it depends on personal choice. For many people, working during the summer vacation is also a good opportunity to increase social experience.

"what?"

Xu Qingzhou smiled and said, "If you are not short of money, reading some books to supplement your knowledge is more effective than working a summer job."

"Oh, I remember that, thank you professor."

Sun Simin followed Xu Qingzhou and asked cautiously, "Professor, do you have the right person for your team?"

"Don't be so careful."

Xu Qingzhou smiled gently: "We are still recruiting. If there is really no one left, I can just do it myself."

He had already thought about it. If there was still no one in the last week, he would just start the experiment and slowly look for suitable members.

"Oh."

Sun Simin nodded, followed Xu Qingzhou for a few steps, and seemed to have made up his mind. He mustered up the courage to say, "Professor, what do you think of me?"

Xu Qingzhou stopped, turned around and looked at Sun Simin, frowning slightly: "You?"

Seeing Xu Qingzhou staring at her, Sun Simin's face flushed and she suddenly became nervous. She waved her hands hesitantly and said, "I was just talking casually."

"It's not impossible."

"what?"

Sun Simin looked up with a stunned expression. She didn't expect Xu Qingzhou to agree just like that. She confirmed: "Can I participate in your experiment?"

"I will arrange a small test and you can only take it after you pass it." Xu Qingzhou nodded. As long as you can stick to the experiment, it will be fine. To a certain extent, there is not much difference between a PhD and an undergraduate degree.

Moreover, Sun Simin is very stable and has good abilities.

"test?"

Sun Simin was a little nervous.

"Don't worry, it won't be too difficult."

Xu Qingzhou thought for a moment and said, "I'll send you an agreement on the transfer of intellectual property rights to avoid conflicts with MIT's rules. You can sign it first. As for the test, I'll tell you in a few days."

Song Yao has already looked at the agreement and there is no problem.

"Okay, I'll get ready now!"

Sun Simin nodded excitedly.

Xu Qingzhou looked at the girl's jogging back and couldn't help but smile, saying with emotion: "Well, the first team member has appeared."

I interviewed so many people, but I didn’t expect the first member to appear like this.

the next day.

As soon as Xu Qingzhou got off the car, he saw Sun Simin, who was about to sign the agreement. At the same time, there was also a fat young man.

Before Xu Qingzhou opened his mouth, Mars rubbed his hands and said, "Professor, if you are willing, you will directly have a second assistant."

"."

As a result, the research team suddenly had two more people. Xu Qingzhou also had a good impression of Mars.

This guy is very talented in mathematics and has a distinct style.

Xu Qingzhou once gave a question related to the Riemann hypothesis.

Mars' proof process is only three pages long, with a concise and clear logical chain, and he is particularly good at using the most basic formulas to solve problems.

On Friday morning, Xu Qingzhou met the third member of the team in a cafe.

bang~
The door of the cafe was pushed open, and a figure rushed in front of Xu Qingzhou.

Xu Qingzhou was reading some information. He looked up and was stunned for a moment when he saw the sweaty young man. Then he said, "Mr. Carson, we meet again."

"Good morning, Professor Xu."

The young man was breathing heavily and it seemed that he had run here.

Bex Carson was the young man who asked Xu Qingzhou in class about the physical proof of the Riemann hypothesis and hoped to establish the Riemann system.

I was in my third year of PhD in April and have just graduated with my PhD.

In fact, if Xu Qingzhou had not taught physics to Bex Carson, he might not have had the sudden inspiration to use the properties of the Riemann zeta function to reversely calculate the density function and finally prove the Riemann hypothesis.

Carson was not shy either. He sat down and gulped down two gulps of water handed to him by the waiter.

Seeing Xu Qingzhou looking at him, he explained: "Sorry, I just came out of the project team and found that I was going to be late."

"Ok?"

Xu Qingzhou paused for a moment. Does this mean that there is already a project team?

"Don't worry, I already fired my boss."

Carson chuckled.

Boss, I think it means mentor.

Xu Qingzhou felt a little embarrassed, as it turned out that this guy had just jumped over from another project team. He couldn't help but look outside the door, wondering how he would escape if Carson's boss came over with a knife.

"If you don't mind, could you tell me about your situation first?"

He put away his thoughts, and seeing that Carson's breath had calmed down, he decided to get to the point as soon as possible.

Carson nodded, sat up straight, and said, "I graduated in June, and have been working with my mentor on the quantum Hall effect project."

Bex Carson is engaged in quantum mechanics research. After graduation, he directly joined the research group of his mentor Balde Vásquez. A few days ago, he suddenly saw Xu Qingzhou's research project and had the idea of "changing jobs".

And these days he has been trying to convince Balde Vasquez to let him go.

At the end, Carson said with a sigh: "I squatted outside my mentor's house for three days before he finally agreed to let me leave."

"."

The process was a bit tortuous.

Xu Qingzhou was shocked. Three months ago, he had communicated with Carson and had no doubts about Carson's ability. He said in a deep voice: "Before you join, I think it is necessary to explain the situation of the project to you first."

"please say."

"I plan to make substrate-free niobium tin (NbSn) thin films, hoping to break through traditional limitations. In other words, including you, there are only four of us now, and two of us are sophomores."

Xu Qingzhou explained the project overview and personnel composition in detail.

If someone wants to switch jobs here, they have to make it clear. If they don't want to, it might not be too late to go back now.

"This"

Carson narrowed his eyes, "It's more exciting than I thought!"

"."

"welcome."

Xu Qingzhou was speechless. He shook hands with Carson, paused, and asked, "So, why did you choose this 'least reliable project'?"

Just for the thrill?

"because."

Carson said with great enthusiasm: "I believe we can create another miracle."

Good second grade.

Xu Qingzhou fell silent. It seemed that no one in the team was reliable.
