Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

The ceremony of the pick-up is not very grand. There are no welcoming staff around the crowd, and there is no team that is lined up in a straight line. Apart from the three directors and a president, there are only two accompanying research assistants.

According to the introduction of Faltins Professor, both of them are Ph.D. students at the Max Planck Institute of Mathematics. They are here because of the administrative work at the Max Planck Society, and for a larger reason. It is the name of his long-cherished.

Even so, the two Nobel Prizes and a Fields Prize are here, and it’s not a huge pick-up. It has become a lot more meaningful.

However, as a pragmatist, Lu Zhou didn’t really care about these red tapes.

When I went to Stockholm to receive the award, he took the subway and went sightseeing all the way.

This time in Berlin, Lu Zhou originally planned to take a ride to the hotel where he stayed. Even the bus route was investigated in advance.

Only now, it seems that these preparations are superfluous…

“You are a genius. How did you come up with the formulas?” At the door, I took the special train from the Max Planck Institute. Etel Professor just had a seat belt and couldn’t help but ask.

Lu Zhou said in a joking tone: “You may not believe it when you say it. The Schrödinger equation gave me a lot of inspiration when I studied the literature in the Rocky Library.”

Klee Ting laughed: “There is nothing unreliable, HF methods and molecular dynamics simulations, and many have borrowed inspiration from quantum mechanics.”

Obviously I don’t want to hear this guy boast, Etel Professor lightly coughed, continue to ask.

“I have seen your thesis, although I don’t understand some of the theories in it, but I have doubts about the parts I know. How do you accurately simplify the solution of the multi-body ground state to the ground state density? What is the difference between the theory and the first principle calculation method if it is passed through the Schrödinger equation?”

The first principle calculation method is the core method of modern computation chemistry, and the core theory is derived from the Schrödinger equation in quantum mechanics. This kind of calculation method has certain advancement, but the problem is also very big.

First, the number of variables reaches the astronomical number of 3N (N is the total number of particles), and another settlement result is often controversial.

Because not only is the number of variables so great, in order to make the conclusions “good-looking”, the appearance parameters added to it are also horrifying.

“Yes, but not exactly,” Lu Zhou laughed, continuing. “I introduced the concept of partial functional density theory in the study of the ground state density distribution problem, such as taking the radius of the designated core in the atom as ra, called For the cutoff radius, the chop function outside the truncation radius is the same as the real valence electron wave function ψv, which gives…”

“Professional problems will be discussed after a week,” he began to feel big. President Strahanman coughed and opened the subject. He looked at Lu Zhou and continued: “This week you How are you going to arrange?”

There is no blackboard at hand, and the next part is really not very good to continue.

Lu Zhou made a helpless expression on Etter’s Professor. After thinking for a while, he continued: “Before the report begins, I want to get familiar with the environment here. Is there any interesting place to recommend it to me?”

Upon hearing this topic, Clichin Professor suddenly came to the mood and said with a vivid voice: “Interesting place? There is no place more interesting than Maple Labs throughout Berlin. Would you like me to take you there?”

Lu Zhou eyes shined, immediately said: “Please take me to watch.”

Compared to the landmarks of the Brandenburg Gate and the Houses of Parliament, it is still more interesting to him. In particular, the Max Planck Institute’s laboratory, in the field of condensed matter physics, is famous for its existence.

Guided by a Nobel Prize, Lu Zhou naturally will not let go.

After a half hour drive, I quickly arrived at my destination.

At the entrance of the Bernitz Hotel, Lu Zhou took the baggage from the trunk of the car.

Just as he was preparing to bid farewell to several Scholars, Lu Zhou suddenly remembered something that had puzzled him for a long time.

“Right, actually I always wanted to ask a question.”

Klein Professor and Yan Yue said: “If I can answer.”

Lu Zhou laughed: “This question may be a bit boring, just out of my own curiosity. Why is the invitation to me a condensed matter physics institute instead of a chemistry institute?”

Even the mathematics institute can understand it, but the invitation was given by the Condensed Physics Institute… Although it has nothing to do with his research, it still makes him a little confused.

However, I don’t know why, just when he asked this question, the atmosphere was a little subtle.

In particular, the Ettel Professor and the Faltins Professor are all speechless expressions.

Lu Zhou gradually began to realize that she seemed to ask a question that should not be asked.

Only the expression of Klee Green Professor is somewhat smug, clearing the starter talking.

“This question is well asked…”

However, his words were not finished and he was interrupted by Faltins.

“This is really a very boring question,” continued to play with his hat, Fartings’s expression of indifference. “In addition, next time I bet I will consider playing 21 points instead of technically. coin.”

Lu Zhou: “…”

Although he was still confused, after hearing this sentence, he seemed to understand something…

……

The predecessor of the Max Planck Society was the Royal Society of Williams, founded in 1911. When the Emperor Wilhelm II believed that the interest in science and technology could enhance the country’s strength, he established the society in his own name, and the royal family funded the research to strengthen Germany. Technical ability.

Standing at the height of the times to evaluate, this decision was undoubtedly quite far-sighted at the time. Thanks to the support of state capital, a large number of outstanding Scholars and scientific research projects have emerged, making German technology and technology at the forefront of the world within 30 years.

After the end of World War II, although the Royal Society of Williams was disbanded, it was retained in the form of the Max Planck Society with the support of the United Kingdom.

The impact of this historical heritage can be clearly seen until today.

Although the position of the World Academic Center has been migrating to the west since the Cold War, due to the hematopoietic capacity of the Max Planck Society, Germany’s research in engineering and condensed matter physics remains at the forefront of World.

From this point of view, the Germans are much more fortunate than the French who lost the status of the World Mathematics Center.

After staying in the hotel, Lu Zhou took a day off and the next day, at the invitation of the Clichet Professor, went to the Maple Lab in Berlin.

Strictly speaking, this Maple laboratory is also one of the legacy of the Royal Society of Williams, but after a modern transformation, it is almost invisible.

“…The Max Planck Institute’s laboratories are located in various cities in Germany. This is just one of them, and probably the largest one. Many physics and chemistry research institutes have a considerable number of research topics here. Like a reactor, it ignites knowledge in all fields and releases its energy.”

Lu Zhou thought about it and asked: “So the research here is based on the research institute?”

Klee Green Professor replied in a chattering voice: “That’s not true. To be precise, most of the projects here are carried out in units of research groups. The difference between groups and groups is great. For those who have not worked here. This may be difficult to understand. In short, you can understand that it is a different research method from American research institutions.”

Walking on the tree-lined path leading to the condensed physics laboratory, Klein Professor and Lu Zhou talked about the composition of the Max Planck Society and chatted with him about the anecdotes here.

Lu Zhou cast a curious eye on the other while passing a uniquely shaped oblate building.

“What is there?”

Klein Professor said with a smile : “There is the ‘industry’ of the Plasma Physics Institute, you can guess what is inside, I bet you can’t guess.”

“Is it a collider?” Lu Zhou played with with a smile.

“haha, that’s not it, this is a more sci-fi thing than the collision machine,” haha ​​laughed, Klee Green Professor said in a joking tone, “You should have heard of this interesting topic of controlled nuclear fusion. ”
