Genius Girlfriend

In order to prepare teaching materials for "Qubits and Computers", Lin Zhixia searched the Internet for relevant courses from top universities in the world.

Stanford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Princeton, California Berkeley and many other world-class schools often publish class notes, homework, and exam questions on the school's official website. These schools offer a variety of courses related to "quantum computing", covering various quantum algorithms, simulation, communication, and programming practical content.

Lin Zhixia glanced at ten lines and quickly scanned the teaching plans of various universities.

She carefully recalled the books and papers she had read before, and spent more than a month writing teaching plans for "Qubits and Computers", meticulously designing weekly homework, and finishing the class PPT by the way, indicating all references.

In March 2016, Lin Zhixia's name was publicized on the national talent list, and the school also announced the "list of candidates to be recruited" and officially signed a special appointment contract with Lin Zhixia. Lin Zhixia received the "Associate Senior Title", equivalent to an associate professor. However, this special appointment contract has a limited number of years. Within five years, if Lin Zhixia's academic performance is poor, the school has the right to cancel her special treatment.

On the first day of the contract’s entry into force, Lin Zhixia logged onto the school’s official website with his “teacher’s personal account”, submitted a “new course application”, uploaded the electronic version of the teaching plan and PPT files of “Qubits and Computers”, and waited for the academic affairs department Audit results.

At the same time, the school is actively helping her prepare the research group.

A leader of the college suggested that Lin Zhixia should start enrolling students this year, because Lin Zhixia is the first author or independent author of more than a dozen SCI articles, has special scientific research funds, and has maintained close relations with several top foreign laboratories Contact, graduate students follow her to learn, all kinds of resources can be a little light.

Lin Zhixia is willing to recruit master students.

As for PhD students...

According to Lin Zhixia's special appointment contract, she is qualified to recruit doctoral students, but she feels that she has insufficient experience and still needs to learn, and there is no extra effort to train her doctorate.

In late March 2016, Lin Zhixia's university held the "Re-examination for Master Degree Candidates".

In February of this year, when the preliminary test results were announced, many students contacted the tutor in advance.

Although Lin Zhixia is well-known, her teacher homepage was only updated in March of this year. No students came to her at all. In the end, the assistant of the department head recommended her a student—the student's name was Zhan Rui, 24 years old. Graduated from a 985 Polytechnic University in Beijing.

Zhan Rui is a boy, less than 1.8 meters tall, handsome and fair-looking, with a relatively introverted personality.

After graduating from his undergraduate degree, Zhan Rui worked in Beijing for a year, resigned and went home to take the postgraduate entrance examination. His score exceeded the initial test line, but he never contacted any instructor.

why?

Because he was born to stutter.

Facing the assistant of the department head, he hesitated: "Ming, interview tomorrow, old, good teacher..."

Zhan Rui spent a long time and finally finished speaking.

Last night, Zhan Rui had just arrived in the provincial capital. Today, he wanted to visit the dean of the department to prepare for the interview tomorrow. The assistant of the dean once called him and seemed to be a little interested in his academic background.

However, at this moment, the assistant said: "Hello, classmate Zhan, right? I have an impression. I have seen your resume, with good academic performance and solid basic skills. Hey, our enrollment quota is full. Go to Lin Let’s ask the teacher. Teacher Lin Zhixia is a young professor specially hired by the Cross College. He has published a top-level paper on'Machine Learning'. You are undergraduate in computer science and have a chat with Teacher Lin."

Zhan Rui remembered the name "Lin Zhixia".

He always feels familiar.

Zhan Rui took out his mobile phone and searched for "Lin Zhixia" on the Internet. The search results shocked him-such a young teacher has such great scientific research results.

It happened to be a rainy day.

The sky is gloomy, dark clouds are surging, slanting rain is drifting across the huge campus, and withered yellow and green leaves are floating in the cold wind. Zhan Rui sneezed, holding a stack of documents, looking around for Lin Zhixia's office, and finally found it in the office building of "Frontier Cross Academy".

Zhan Rui's short black hair was soaked in rain, and a lock of hair stuck to his forehead. He wiped off the drops of water with a tissue, hurried to the second floor, turned around like a headless fly, and suddenly heard a man's laugh: "Mr. Lin, I'm coming to see you. I am Mrs. Tan."

Zhan Rui walked forward following the sound, and happened to have a face-to-face meeting with Tan Qianche.

Tan Qianche wore a suit today. He is tall and straight, handsome and extraordinary, and he is particularly noticeable. He stood at the door of Lin Zhixia's office, and Zhan Rui walked past him and greeted dutifully: "Old, old, old..."

"What's old?" Tan Qianche was amused by him, "We are all very young."

Zhan Rui hurriedly explained: "I, I am stuttering."

Tan Qianche looked up and down his whole body, and easily saw through his identity: "Look at you like this, you are a master student of this year, want to find Teacher Lin? Good look, you are Teacher Lin's open disciple."

The rain outside the window is louder.

The rain was cold and long, passed over the eaves and drifted into the room.

Lin Zhixia closed the window, picked up a glass of pure water, and greeted gently: "Please sit down, do you have a drink?"

Tan Qianche sat down without seeing him.

In September last year, Tan Qianche got a teaching position in the School of Physics. At the moment, he is not only Lin Zhixia's fellow brother, but also Lin Zhixia's colleague. Hearing that Lin Zhixia was specially hired as a professor at the Intersection College, Tan Qianche deliberately picked a day and came to Lin Zhixia's office to congratulate him.

However, Lin Zhixia said to Tan Qianche, "Is there anything you want to do with me? Next time you should send an e-mail to make an appointment. If you find me in a hurry, I may not be in the office."

Tan Qianche was about to talk to Lin Zhixia about her quantum platform construction. Hearing Lin Zhixia's tone, it seemed that he didn't welcome him. He was too lazy to be boring, and just made an excuse to leave.

Before he left, his cell phone rang several times. He answered the call and shouted: "Baby." Then he said, "Busy today, let's get another day."

Lin Zhixia reminded him: "Senior, do you remember what you said while lying in the hospital that year?"

He left a straight back and responded in a low voice: "It's all gone."

Zhan Rui looked at him blankly for a while, and then heard Lin Zhixia say: "Hello classmate, can I take a look at your resume?"

Zhan Rui recovered and handed over his resume with both hands. He was obviously three years older than Lin Zhixia, but he automatically took over as a junior for no reason. He rubbed his fingers nervously, his hands full of sweat, and he hated how he dare to come to the associate professor of Cross Academy without any preparation?

He seemed to be waiting for the verdict of fate.

The whole process is actually only a few seconds.

Lin Zhixia put down her resume, carefully brewed it, and then said, "I want to ask you a few questions, can you? I have paper and pen here. You can write on paper and write formulas."

Zhan Rui nodded and said, "Good, good."

This is how Zhan Rui's interview began. Lin Zhixia asked a total of seven questions, and the difficulty of the questions continued to rise.

At first, Zhan Rui was comfortable, but later, he fell into a state of thinking. He drafted on paper, and the steaming cup of tea in front of him gradually cooled. The daylight dimmed, dark clouds covered the sky, and a chandelier in the office shined brighter. He continued to solve the problem without impetuousness, a flash of inspiration in his brain finally wrote an answer.

Lin Zhixia was pleasantly surprised and encouraged him more seriously: "Your logical thinking ability is very strong, and the knowledge points are also good."

Zhan Rui rubbed his hands shyly, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

Lin Zhixia asked him again: "How is your English? At the master's level, you have to read a lot of English papers..."

Zhan Rui said honestly: "I have six hundred and forty points at level six or six."

Lin Zhixia opened the desk drawer and took out an English paper in the direction of artificial intelligence. This paper describes the algorithm framework of "Go Robot Alpha Dog". Zhan Rui has never read this article, but he understands the basic principles of "Monte Carlo Tree Search" and "Deep Reinforcement Learning"-these two Algorithms are the backbone of Alpha Dog.

Zhan Rui spent half an hour reading the paper, feeling very confused, so he drew an algorithm flow chart on the draft paper.

Lin Zhixia read his flow chart and commented: "Yes, it's pretty good."

Zhan Rui stood up and wanted to say something to Lin Zhixia, but his brain was blank and he couldn't find the topic, so he bowed to her stupidly. She chuckled, and Zhan Rui's face was flushed instantly.

Lin Zhixia said without changing his face: "You don't need to be so polite. I hope we can communicate on an equal footing. Your academic foundation is quite good, and the college interview should be no problem. Don't be nervous, just perform normally tomorrow."

Zhan Rui took a step back with a black backpack on his back.

He plans to bid farewell to Lin Zhixia and return to his residence early to prepare for the postgraduate examination tomorrow. So he said: "Today, today, today..."

Zhan Rui wants to say: Thank you Teacher Lin today.

However, Lin Zhixia misunderstood what Zhan Rui meant.

Lin Zhixia thought that Zhan Rui wanted to talk about funding, but he was embarrassed to speak up.

Lin Zhixia broadly summed up: "Our school grants scholarships to all majors of master's degree students, each of 8,000 yuan per year, reimbursement of books, travel expenses, and medical expenses. The state will give master students a monthly subsidy of 600 yuan. I. You will also be paid, so don’t worry... Don’t worry about papers. I have many projects and topics. Mentors and students choose each other. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I will refresh my email every day."

When Zhan Rui left the office, his steps were still light.

The rain stopped outside, and the rain water slid down the eaves and hit his head with a "bang". He wiped his face, took out his cell phone, and called his undergraduate classmate Lin Zeqiu.

Lin Zeqiu is Zhan Rui's undergraduate roommate and one of Zhan Rui's few friends.

Lin Zeqiu asked him: "Have you found the dean of the Computer Engineering Department?"

Zhan Rui's mood is as clear as the sky after the rain. He told Lin Zeqiu that he had changed a mentor. The mentor was very young, had a high academic achievement, and he was easy to get along with. He didn't think he was uncomfortable in his speech, and he was very cultivated and respected students.

After Lin Zeqiu heard these words, an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

A terrible thought flashed through his mind: Will my undergraduate roommate become a student of my sister?

Thinking of this sister, Lin Zeqiu felt very complicated.

His sister Lin Zhixia has not been home for several days.

In the most recent month, Lin Zhixia received settlement allowance and various allowances. She finally saved enough for the down payment, and often took time to look at the house near the university town-which gave Jiang Yubai a chance.

Every evening, Jiang Yubai will take Lin Zhixia back to his home. He always prepared a sumptuous dinner and said to Lin Zhixia: "After dinner, it is never too late to leave."

Lin Zhixia felt that his words made sense.

However, after dinner, Jiang Yubai often plans some fun-filled activities. They would splash in the open-air swimming pool, watch the night view of the city and the starry sky, or sit in the study together with chairs next to them, and work quietly without disturbing each other... Lin Zhixia has to admit that she likes to get along with Jiang Yubai very much. , Even a little bit reluctant to think about it.
