Chapter 463

Outside the window, the sky had already darkened, and bright lights lit up both sides of the Charles River.

Xu Qingzhou pondered for a few minutes, dropped Er Miao who was about to fall asleep, took out a brand-new manuscript according to his old habit, lowered his head, and began to write down the content in his mind.

【Quantum Materials and Topological Matter—Topological Insulators, Quantum Spin Liquids...】

【Quantum Computing and Information Materials.】

【Superconductivity and Strongly Correlated Electron Systems.】

The sound of writing "sasha" echoed in the living room.

On this side, Song Yao finished packing things, came out, looked at Xu Qingzhou who had started working, and spat secretly, thinking that this guy was really able to shrink and expand; he was still being lewd just now.

She curled her lips, opened the computer, and started looking at materials. Her second SCI paper had already been accepted.

This was the benefit of having a big shot as a supervisor, having intricate connections with various journals, and even serving as an external reviewer for top journals; papers submitted could quickly get feedback.

After more than a year, her project with Professor Morton was about to reach the next stage.

The next period of time would be very busy.

Song Yao's gaze fell on the paper on the screen, and she quickly entered a working state.

Time passed slowly in busyness, the night gradually deepened, and in the blink of an eye, it was 10:30. The living room was very quiet, during which only Er Miao was wandering around, and Wang Xiaping and Zhang Junli each made a phone call to ask about the situation of the two.

Two sheets of manuscript filled with writing appeared in front of Xu Qingzhou.

【Low-Dimensional and Artificial Structural Materials.】

【Magnetism and Spintronics—Ferroelectric and Ferromagnetic Materials (such as BiFeO).】

10:50 PM.

Xu Qingzhou stopped writing, rubbed his brow, looked at the manuscript with a tangled expression, and then circled "Quantum Computing and Information Materials" on the draft paper.

This could be considered frontier technology in the cross-field of condensed matter physics and quantum computing, one of the very popular fields in the future.

Before rebirth, technology experienced a small explosion. In quantum computing, millions of qubits had already been realized, quantum error correction had been achieved, and a programmable quantum computer had been initially built.

There was a lot to be done.

He took out a new draft paper, wrote "Quantum Computing and Information Materials," and then extended it according to the mind map.

Superconducting quantum chips.

Next, it was subdivided into qubit performance optimization, coupling control technology, and chip integration process.

Ten minutes passed.

Xu Qingzhou looked at the final research goal and nodded with satisfaction; it could be considered basically done.

At the same time, his calf was rubbed.

Song Yao propped her chin and asked: "Have an idea?"

Xu Qingzhou nodded and handed the manuscript to Song Yao.

"High-quality preparation of first-layer superconducting metal thin films?"

Xu Qingzhou said with a smile: "Mm, making chips and such is unrealistic, but we can try this thing. If I remember correctly, MIT has relevant equipment."

The experiment required an ultra-high vacuum magnetron sputtering system, in-situ RHEED (Reflection High-Energy Electron Diffraction), etc.

He really didn't want to engage in complete quantum mechanics research, but the high-quality preparation of first-layer superconducting thin films belonged to the applied technology of condensed matter physics. Its goal was to optimize the macroscopic properties of materials, such as superconductivity and stability. And quantum mechanics provided theoretical explanations, such as why high-purity materials were needed.

In Xu Qingzhou's view, the relationship between the two was similar to the relationship between "building a bridge" and "mechanical calculation"—the former was engineering implementation, and the latter was principle support.

"Apart from physics... it also has a relationship with material science."

Song Yao had already finished reading the mind map.

Just as mentioned before, condensed matter physics could be said to be researching the performance of core materials in a certain field.

Refine it further, condensed matter, quantum mechanics, material science deep intersection.

Xu Qingzhou nodded with a smile, "Understand a little bit."

He had been doing research for decades before. Although it wasn't his main field, he still knew a little bit about things in material science.

"Awesome."

Song Yao praised and returned the manuscript to Xu Qingzhou. She was used to it; her boyfriend... oh, no, now he was her husband, this guy seemed to know a little bit about everything.

"Average, average... if your expression was a bit more worshipful, I would be happier."

Song Yao made a "heh" sound; she couldn't let this guy get his way.

Xu Qingzhou determined the goal, didn't bother to think deeply about what specifically to do, moved his neck, stood up, and said: "I'm going to take a shower."

Crossing time zones, especially in regions like this from the Xia country to the United States with a 12-hour time difference, the first three days were usually very uncomfortable.

Yesterday he had already adjusted a little, but after the night deepened, there would still be a kind of discomfort of staying up all night.

Now he was already a bit sleepy and could wash up and sleep early.

"Mm."

Song Yao nodded coldly, her gaze continuing to stare at the screen in front of her. After a while, she looked up, saw the boy didn't move, guessed what this guy was thinking, and continued to say coldly: "Wash it yourself."

"Disappointed."

Xu Qingzhou sighed in disappointment, went back to the bedroom to get clean clothes, and a moment later, he came out wearing big shorts, issuing an invitation again: "Little Song, really not together?"

"No."

Song Yao still refused instinctively.

She would definitely be pulled by Xu Qingzhou to play some strange postures.

It was too messy...

But... why was she a little expectant?

"Little Yaoyao?" Xu Qingzhou didn't give up, calling out cheekily.

"..."

Song Yao's eyes drooped. Although she was a bit expectant about taking a shower together, she wanted to beat him up more now.

At the doorway, sensing that she was about to beat him, Xu Qingzhou ran into the bathroom, but didn't close the door.

After a while, a sound came from the bathroom: "Someone, every time you scold me as a pervert, hehe, clearly you are fishing yourself, female hooligan."

"Xu Qingzhou!"

"Someone, just now deliberately used your feet to seduce me."

"I'll wait for you to come out!"

"If you have the ability, come in."

"..."

"Last night you also..."

Bang~

Before Xu Qingzhou finished speaking, the bathroom door was pushed open, and Song Yao stood outside the door with a dark face, her fists clenched tight.

Whoa, the aggressive provocation is low-level, but useful.

Xu Qingzhou laughed happily in his heart. Song Yao usually could drag her menstrual period to the 11th, and last night in San Francisco, she was called proactive.

However, after all, it was in a hotel, and both of them were quite restrained, and many pieces of equipment were missing.

Tonight, it would definitely be more interesting than yesterday.

A long time passed.

Xu Qingzhou hummed a little tune, wiped his body, and returned to the bedroom, thinking that home was more comfortable.

But as soon as his footsteps stepped into the bathroom, he was stunned.

On the bed, the school beauty Song had already blown dry the ends of her wet hair, and even used a hair tie to tie her hair up.

Seeing Xu Qingzhou come in, the cold girl raised her eyebrows.

"Hoo~"

Xu Qingzhou took a deep breath and reached out to close the door. Fine, the physical labor hadn't ended yet; this girl came to seek revenge.

The door closed, and the living room immediately fell into darkness.

Creak~

The creaking sound from inside the door made Er Miao prick up its ears, but it quickly shifted its gaze away, jumped off the sofa flexibly, and hid in its nest.

The stupid two-legged beasts started fighting again.
