Chapter 355: Max Planck Institute

The pick-up ceremony was not very grand. There were no welcoming personnel crowded around, and there was no convoy lined up in large fanfare. In addition to three directors and one chairman, there were only two accompanying research assistants.
According to Professor Faltings, these two are PhDs from the Institute of Mathematics of the Max Planck Society. The reason why they appear here is because they have administrative jobs at the Max Planck Society. For another bigger reason Is his long name.
However, even so, the two Nobel Prize Winners and the Fields Prize Winners here are not so grand in themselves, and they have become much more significant.
However, as a pragmatist, Lu Zhou didn't pay much attention to these red tapes.
When he went to Stockholm to receive the award, he got off the plane and took the subway by himself.
This time when he came to Berlin, Lu Zhou originally planned to take a car to the hotel where he stayed, and even the bus route was investigated in advance.
It just seems that these preparations are a bit redundant ...
"You're a genius. How did you come up with those formulas?" At the door, I took a special car from the Max Planck Society. Professor Eite just put on his seat belt and couldn't help asking.
Lu Zhou said in a joke tone: "You may not believe it when you say it. The Schrödinger equation gave me a lot of inspiration when studying the literature at the Shishi Library."
Klitzing Haha laughed: "There is nothing unbelievable. The hf method and molecular dynamics simulation have been inspired by quantum mechanics to some extent."
Obviously not wanting to hear this fellow boast, Professor Eite coughed and continued to ask.
"I have read your thesis. Although I do n’t understand some of the theories in it, I have doubts about the part I understand. How do you accurately reduce the solution of the multibody ground state to the ground state density accurately? The solution of the distribution? If it is through Schrödinger's equation, how is your theory different from the first-principles calculation method in the results? "
The first-principles calculation method is the core method of modern computational chemistry, and the source of its core theory is the Schrodinger equation in quantum mechanics. This calculation method has some advanced properties, but the problem is also very big.
First, the number of its variables reached the astronomical number of 3n (n is the total number of particles), and then another settlement result is often controversial.
Because it's not just the number of variables that is surprisingly large, in order to make the conclusions "look better", the empirical parameters added to them are also outrageous.
"Yes, but not exactly," Lu Zhou smiled, and continued, "I introduced the concept of partial functional density theory in the ground state density distribution problem room, such as taking the radius of a specified core region in an atom as ra, Called the truncation radius, the chirp wave function outside the truncation radius is the same as the true valence electron wave function ψv, so as to obtain ... "
"Professional issues will be left for a week to discuss," has begun to feel a big head, President Strahman coughed, broke the topic, and watched Lu Zhou continue to ask: "This week you plan to How to arrange it? "
There is no blackboard on hand, and the next part is really not good to continue.
Lu Zhou gave a helpless expression to Professor Eitel, and after thinking for a moment, he continued: "Before the lecture, I want to familiarize myself with the environment here. Can you recommend anything interesting to me?"
Upon hearing this topic, Professor Klitzing suddenly became interested, and said vividly, "Interesting place? Nowhere in Berlin is more interesting than the Max Planck laboratory. Would you like me to show you?"
Lu Zhou's eyes lighted and he immediately said, "Please take me to watch."
Compared to landmark landmarks such as the Brandenburg Gate and the Capitol, it really turned out that the lab was more interesting to him. Especially the Max Planck Institute's laboratory has a well-known presence in the field of condensed matter physics.
With a Nobel Prize winner as a tour guide, Lu Zhou naturally would not let this opportunity go.
After half an hour's drive, I quickly reached my destination.
Alighted at the door of the Bernitz Hotel, Lu Zhou took his luggage out of the trunk of the car.
As he was about to bid farewell to several scholars, Lu Zhou suddenly remembered something that had puzzled him for a long time.
"By the way, I always wanted to ask a question."
Professor Keli Qing and Yan Yue said, "If I can answer."
Lu Zhou smiled: "This question may be a bit boring, just out of my personal curiosity. Why did I send the invitation letter to the Institute of Condensed Matter Physics, not the Institute of Chemistry?"
He can understand even the Institute of Mathematics, but the invitation was issued by the Institute of Condensed Matter Physics ... Although it is not unrelated to his research, it still makes him a little scratched.
However, I don't know why, when he asked this question, the atmosphere was a bit embarrassing.
In particular, Professor Eitel and Professor Faltings have speechless expressions.
Lu Zhou gradually began to realize that he seemed to ask a question that should not be asked.
Only Professor Keliqing's expression was a little smug, and he cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
"That's a good question ..."
However, he didn't finish his words and was interrupted by Faltins.
"It's really a boring question," Faltins said with an indifferent expression on the hat in his hand, and continued, "In addition, I will consider playing blackjack next time, instead of throwing without technical content. coin."
Lu Zhou: "..."
Although still confused, after hearing this sentence, he seemed to understand something ...
...
The Max Planck Society was formerly the Royal Society of William, founded in 1911. At that time, William II, the German emperor, believed that the interest in science and technology could enhance the strength of the country, and established the society in his own name. Technical capabilities.
Judging from the height of the times, this decision was undoubtedly quite visionary at the time. Thanks to the support of national capital, a large number of outstanding scholars and scientific research projects have continuously emerged, keeping German technology and technology at the forefront of the world for 30 years.
After the end of World War II, although the Royal Society of William was disbanded, it was retained in the form of the Max Planck Society with British support.
The impact of this historical heritage can be clearly seen to this day.
Although the position of the world academic center has been moving westward across Haiti since the Cold War, because of the hematopoietic ability of the Max Planck, German research in the fields of engineering technology and condensed matter physics still maintains the world's leading level.
From this point of view, the Germans are undoubtedly more fortunate than the French who have lost their place in the center of world mathematics.
After staying in the hotel, Lu Zhou rested for a day, and the next day, at the invitation of Professor Klitzing, he went to the Max Planck Lab in Berlin.
Strictly speaking, this Max Planck laboratory is also one of the heritage of the Royal Society of William. However, after the modern transformation, it is almost impossible to see its original appearance.
"... Labs of the Max Planck Society are located in various cities in Germany. This is just one of them, and it is probably the largest. Many institutes in the field of physics and chemistry have a considerable number of research topics here. Like a reactor, ignite knowledge in all fields and release its energy. "
Lu Zhou thought for a while and asked, "So the research here is carried out on the basis of research institutes?"
Professor Klizin replied in a chatty tone: "That's not ~ EbookFREE.me ~ To be precise, most of the projects here are carried out in research groups. There is a big difference between groups. For those who are not here For those who have worked, this may be a bit difficult to understand. In short, you can understand that it is a completely different approach to research from American research institutions. "
Walking on the tree-lined path leading to the Condensed Matter Physics Laboratory, Professor Keli Qing talked to Lu Zhou about the composition of the Max Planck Society while chatting with him about various interesting things here.
As he passed a unique oblong building, Lu Zhou cast a curious look over there.
"What's over there?"
Professor Klitzing said with a smile: "There is the‘ industry ’of the Institute of Plasma Physics. You can guess what it is there, and I bet you ca n’t guess it.

"Can it be a collider?" Lu Zhou joked.
"Haha, that's not it. This is a more sci-fi thing than a collider," Haha smiled, and Professor Keliqing said in a joke tone. "You should have heard of it. Controllable fusion is an interesting thing. topic."
