Chapter 478

~7 min read 1,272 words

As of the second night after the recruitment was sent out, Xu Xu Qingzhou had received five resumes.

He read them roughly and passed them all.

Let's put it this way, it's like this sentence that appears on some resumes in China: Proficient in office software such as Word, Excel, etc., basically able to use PS...

Translated: No experience, not stupid, able to open and close various office software.

In short, one can tell from the resume whether there is any real stuff. Many people are clearly aiming for the 65,000 salary or his status as a Fields Medal winner, and have no real talent or learning.

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

Thursday morning, Xu Xu Qingzhou met the first interviewee at a coffee shop outside Massachusetts Avenue.

Narris Green.

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

"Good morning, Mr. Green."

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

Xu Xu Qingzhou flipped through the other party's resume on the tablet and said at the same time: "You once engaged in research on condensed matter with your supervisor."

"Yes, content on quantum spin liquids."

Xu 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 identification of Kitaev quantum spin liquid characteristic peak experiment."

Dave Roster froze, not reacting for a while.

Xu Xu Qingzhou frowned slightly and reminded: "It's the content in the 'Capturing Fractional Excitation Spectra in K-type Organic Salt Crystals' you published in 'Applied Physics Letters'."

"Of course I know."

Green nodded quickly: "EtMe3Sb【Pd(dmit)2】 has a highly isotropic two-dimensional triangular lattice structure and strong electron correlation, which can effectively suppress traditional magnetic ordering..."

"Okay, you said it very comprehensively, but can you first talk about the details of the particle-hole excitation model."

"This kind of crystal is stacked alternately by organic cation (EtMe3Sb) layers and 【Pd(dmit)2】 anion layers, forming a quasi-two-dimensional triangular lattice..."

Xu Xu Qingzhou nodded again and continued to ask: "Um, I understand, about the particle-hole excitation model in your paper... what details do you have?"

"The experimental progress of K-type organic salt crystals provides the most solid evidence for quantum spin liquids so far..."

25 minutes passed.

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

"Okay, thank you Professor Xu."

Narris Green left, Xu Xu Qingzhou rubbed his eyebrows, a bit helpless, this brother is simply the MIT version of "Section Chief Ma".

The resume says he wrote three top journals... looking at the experience, there is something, but it's hard to say.

Although Xu Xu Qingzhou was speechless, he wasn't that surprised; papers are things that can be obtained through other channels.

Moreover, judging from the subsequent conversation, he had been away from this industry for a long time and didn't even know the most popular research directions currently.

He shook his head and passed this person directly.

The appointment with the next interviewee was at 10 AM, still 20 minutes away. He wasn't in a hurry, took out the tablet to look at materials, and understood the technical advantages and unresolved problems of the "intermediate layer gradient composite" patent in the first-layer superconducting metal thin film preparation technology.

10 minutes passed.

"Hello, Professor Xu."

Xu Xu Qingzhou looked up and saw a girl with an Asian face appearing in front of him.

The girl was wearing a white T-shirt and a miniskirt, definitely could be called a beauty, but Xu Xu Qingzhou was with Song Yao every day and had long since developed immunity, with no fluctuation in his heart.

He put away the tablet: "Hello, Li Tian, right, sit."

The second interviewee was a Xia Nation person, a student studying abroad at Jingda Shuimu University, who had just graduated with a PhD this year. Judging from the resume, she was relatively excellent among the crowd.

Before Xu Xu Qingzhou could speak, the little girl had already spoken in advance: "Professor, can I ask you a question first?"

"You say."

Xu Xu Qingzhou nodded.

Li Tian looked at Xu Xu Qingzhou with some expectation: "Are you married?"

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

"Okay." Li Tian was discouraged.

Although Xu Xu Qingzhou felt there was no hope, he still entered the main topic according to the process: "Student Li Tian, you are from the Department of Applied Mathematics, tell me your understanding of this project."

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

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

Compared to the previous one, Li Tian was quite strong in knowledge reserve, even excellent. However, Xu Xu Qingzhou suspected that this woman had other purposes.

"Professor, I have read all your papers, Cramér's theorem, twin prime theorem... you are my idol. When I saw your recruitment, I didn't sleep all night, just thinking about sending a resume to see."

"Professor Xu, you are clearly a mathematics professor, why did you choose the condensed matter direction?"

"Professor, Professor..."

A good interview turned into a fan meeting.

20 minutes passed, only Xu Xu Qingzhou was left.

He sipped his coffee, sighed that his ears were finally quiet, and now there was only one thought in his heart: fake fan, don't you know my physics is also quite powerful?

"Li Tian... no problem with skills, but clearly won't spend her mind on experiments."

Xu Xu Qingzhou shook his head, drank two sips, and didn't stay any longer, got up and went to Professor Roberts' side; as for the taste of coffee, it was still better at Holn's side.

The office was slightly messier than when Xu Xu Qingzhou came, and Professor Roberts' and Holn's desks were covered with manuscripts.

"Hi, Xu."

Holn greeted and asked with a smile: "Have a cup of coffee?"

"Of course, that's my purpose."

Xu Xu Qingzhou nodded, also gave up on the issue of changing Holn's pronunciation; only those who are truly empty would care, anyway, he is not empty.

Professor Roberts stopped the calculation in his hand and asked: "How is your team recruitment?"

"Currently, it's still just me." Xu Xu Qingzhou sighed.

Professor Roberts: "Encountered difficulties?"

"All within expectations."

Xu Xu Qingzhou shrugged, not panicked, recruitment is something that needs to be done slowly, can't be rushed.

Professor Roberts smiled and said: "I am very happy to see that you are not discouraged, if you need help, you can come to us at any time."

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

While Holn brought the coffee, he handed over a manuscript: "Put down the headache recruitment first, come, look at this thing."

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

Professor Roberts and the others were doing dynamic load balancing adjustment, hoping to improve the calculation efficiency and scale of the model.

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