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

Chapter 602 I paid the fee
As night fell, the entire campus was gently enveloped in soft lighting, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. Inside the banquet hall, glasses clinked and top scholars from around the world conversed quietly, exchanging experiences.

In stark contrast, in the corner, two middle-aged people, one with a serious expression and the other with a furrowed brow in thought, exuded an atmosphere that seemed out of place at the banquet.

Professor Maynard pondered for a moment and said, "If the phase parameter and potential well strength in the transition rule are not properly coupled, it will cause the sieve efficiency to drop sharply."

“That’s right.” Xu Qingzhou nodded, somewhat admiringly. As expected of a world-class mathematician, he hit the nail on the head.

He said, "I have recently discovered this problem as well. Similar to the mismatch between the energy level difference and the incident photon frequency in hydrogen atom transitions, if the phase parameters are not dynamically adjusted according to the Cramer gap, it will lead to the accumulation of invalid transition paths."

Maynard's research focuses on using tools from analytic number theory, particularly sieves, to study prime numbers. Furthermore, he is expected to receive the Fields Medal in 2022 for his understanding of the structure of prime numbers and Diophantine approximations.

This is enough to demonstrate Professor Maynard's competence.

Xu Qingzhou continued, "My initial idea is to introduce energy conservation constraints and adopt a hierarchical feedback mechanism to decompose the phase parameters into low-frequency components, that is, global window adjustment, while high-frequency components are compensated by local gaps."

Professor Maynard nodded slightly and said helplessly, "Although I am good at analytic number theory and have been helping Professor Herik with data analysis recently, physics is indeed not my field of study, so I can't give you any more advice."

"However, we may be able to discuss a second problem: the distortion trap of the mathematical-physical mapping. If the distribution of the zeros of the supersymmetric zeta function is verified only by mathematical consistency without experimental observation, the theory will become a 'mathematical game'."

Xu Qingzhou felt somewhat helpless; this was probably the biggest problem he was currently facing.

Just like the visual chaos caused by inconsistent styles in home design, the problem is even more serious: the zero-point offset of the supersymmetric zeta function in the sieve method cannot be verified by physical experiments.
To be precise, in the construction of the dynamic sieve method for the gap of the superconducting symmetric zeta function, it is necessary to use three major methods—experimental verification, symmetry constraints, and parameter inversion—to ensure that every step of the mathematical model can be mapped to observable physical quantities.

However, no matter how you look at it, the computational complexity is explosive. Mathematical mapping without physical constraints may introduce a high-dimensional parameter space, causing the complexity of dynamic sieve methods to far exceed the capabilities of quantum computing hardware.

"Could we try cross-validation?"

Professor Maynard said in a deep voice, "Mathematically, we use group theory to analyze the symmetry of the supersymmetric zeta function to ensure that the zero-point offset satisfies the conservation of angular momentum."

Xu Qingzhou's eyes lit up. After thinking for two minutes, he said, "Besides mathematical and condensed matter verification, it seems we can add a third layer of verification: quantum simulation. We can simulate hydrogen atom transitions on the IBMQ platform and compare the prime number gap distribution with the KL divergence of the classical sieve method."

"A very interesting idea."

Professor Maynard nodded. Quantum simulation was something he had encountered when he was involved in mathematical calculations at the Quantum Institute; it was a very effective method.

Just then, a slightly overweight old man walked over, his gaze shifting between Xu Qingzhou and Maynard. "Although I am very reluctant to disturb you two, if we don't have a drink soon, the banquet will be over."

The old man was Professor Herik, who had come to welcome Xu Qingzhou last time.

Xu Qingzhou and Maynard raised their glasses.

The two weren't in a hurry. They decided to stop and talk again when they had time. Generally speaking, it takes at least 10 or even 20 years for a new theory to be proposed and gradually perfected.

“Excuse me, I’ve come here for some peace and quiet too. Professor Xu, you really should go and see. Harvey is debating with Howard from Princeton about whether solid-state batteries or lithium-sulfur batteries are the future.”

"Who won?" Xu Qingzhou asked curiously.

"Now the debate has turned into a drinking contest."

10 pm.

After taking a shower and letting the smell of alcohol dissipate, Xu Qingzhou leaned comfortably on the sofa. The Christ College suite was quite nice, with a dedicated desk and a reception area, and he could see the view outside the window even while leaning on the sofa.

As I sat there for a while, a slight buzz, along with the day's fatigue, slowly crept in.

He pulled out his phone from under his body and dialed Song Yao's number.

The call connected after two beeps.

"Are you at the company?" Xu Qingzhou looked at the background around the girl on the screen, which was the familiar company bookshelves.

"Ah."

Song Yao nodded, glanced at her phone, and saw him lying on the sofa. "You're not drunk, are you?"

"No, it's just a little bit of alcohol. The alcohol will be gone after a walk outside."

Seeing Song, the school beauty, typing intently, Xu Qingzhou couldn't help but say, "Don't work so hard these days, take a break when you need to."

At the beginning of the month, this girl happened to get her period.

"I'm fine, I'm in great spirits."

"you sure?"

"Professor Xu, getting your period doesn't mean you're disabled."

"Ha, if I remember correctly, someone always says they have no strength and then tries to enslave me." Xu Qingzhou exposed Song Xiaohua's evil deeds.

When her partner is around, she becomes a delicate little woman, nestled on the sofa and waiting for him to serve her.

"You seem to be having a lot of fun doing this."

Song Yao pursed her lips.

"Taking care of one's wife is a matter of course."

Xu Qingzhou spoke with righteous indignation.

"嘁~"

Song Yao expressed her contempt. He put it nicely, saying it was only natural. She had already paid him, and this guy just went along with it and served her, then made all sorts of shameless demands.

She had seen through it long ago.

"I've been at the company these past few days, dealing with a lot of things. The third patent for spin polarization and d-band center control technology is already going through the process."

"Oh? They've already developed the spin polarization catalysis mechanism technology? Old Zheng and his team are pretty fast."

He was busy all day and didn't check his emails much.

Song Yao paused for a moment and asked Xu Qingzhou for his opinion, "You mentioned last time that you wanted to increase the localization of equipment. Shouldn't we consider allocating some funds for equipment research and development?"

"I agree."

Xu Qingzhou adjusted to a more comfortable position and continued to lean back. "Ultimately, we still need to master the technology of the equipment ourselves, otherwise we'll always be easily manipulated. Do you have any ideas?"

Since this girl brought it up, she must have a clear plan.

"Currently, there are three feasible options. First, we can establish our own R&D center and master all the technologies ourselves. Second, we can collaborate with universities or research institutions to jointly develop technologies. Third, we can directly invest in external R&D teams."

"I prefer the second approach. After all, it requires sufficient funding and talent reserves, and it's very difficult to assemble a complete team in a short period of time."
