During this period, in addition to dating Xia Xiao and teaching the three students who had completed the formalities, Lu Qiujian also continued to browse arxiv to record lecture videos for the court. More importantly, he finally chose to study during this period.

School of Physics Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.

The University of Munich, founded in 1472, is one of the most outstanding research universities in Germany and even Europe. It has become the first three elite universities of the German government along with the Technical University of Munich and the University of Karlsruhe. It can be called the German version of the Ivy.

The alliance school has produced a total of 34 Nobel Prize winners in history, ranking 13th among universities in the world. Among its alumni, there have been physics giants such as Max Planck, Werner Heisenberg and so on.

However, his choice may not be easily accepted by others, because the University of Munich is not ranked high in the world and is not among the top 50 in several mainstream university rankings.

But there are deep-seated reasons for this phenomenon. The top rankings are all created by the Commonwealth countries. The rankings are inevitably biased towards the Commonwealth countries and their original colonies, so everyone often sees the Pearl of the Kangaroo Country.

Some universities in the city are often ranked very high, but the actual level is not as high as the rankings reflect.

Second, in international university rankings, comprehensive universities tend to dominate. The reason why Wuyue University in China wanted to merge so many institutions was also due to this consideration; while German universities usually pay more attention to

Professionalism, some majors are ranked very high. For example, the Department of Physics of the University of Munich has long been ranked among the top 20 in the world, and the Department of Computing at Karlsruhe University of Technology has been ranked among the top 20 in the world for a long time.

The machinery of RWTH Aachen University is equally strong. Hoffenheim’s boss, SAP founder Hope, graduated from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology; at the same time, there are many top scientific research institutions, such as the Max Planck Institute Helm

The Holtz Institute and others have dispersed the research power of universities; weak comprehensiveness and strong professionalism have become the characteristics of German universities, so they have suffered a lot in rankings.

Third, there are also reasons for German universities themselves. German universities are relatively closed and have a low degree of internationalization. On the one hand, the influence of German is far less than that of English, which has led to many students giving up studying in Germany because of the language.

plan. On the other hand, German universities are stubborn in their old academic system that cannot be in line with international standards.

Although German universities have many shortcomings and their rankings are not high, Lu Qiujian still chose the University of Munich. On the one hand, the physics department of the University of Munich is indeed very strong, and on the other hand, there are Heisenberg and Principle.

Ranke's inheritance, the academic world, like the aristocratic circle, attaches great importance to a person's origin; he has taken advantage of being born in a capital university in China. If this is useful, why not continue to use it?

Lu Qiujian has seen a ranking of twentieth-century physicists before. The first rank is undoubtedly Einstein; the second rank is Bohr, the leader of the Copenhagen School, the goalkeeper of the Danish AB team and the director of the Nobel Kindergarten.

Tied with Heisenberg of the University of Munich; the third tier is Dirac Schrödinger and Chen-ning Yang; the fourth tier includes Pauli Feynman and Landau.

Of course, there are many problems with this ranking. For example, Bohr's ranking is too high. The difference between the second and third grades is not so obvious. Most of the selected people are field theory physicists, and there is a lack of other theoretical and experimental physicists, etc.

But it also reflects the influence of these physicists to a certain extent.

An important identity of Heisenberg is that he is one of the founders of CERN; in 1952, Europe decided to launch a comprehensive competition with the United States in the field of particle physics. We decided to establish CERN near Geneva, Switzerland, on the border with France.

, to build the world's largest particle accelerator to verify the predictions of quantum field theory and discover new particles, Heisenberg was appointed honorary chairman of the committee.

The University of Munich has the legacy of Heisenberg, who had a huge influence on CERN. If you can enter the University of Munich and study physics with Heisenberg's students, it will be more convenient to enter CERN in the future; so Physics at the University of Munich

Department became Lu Qiujian's best choice.

Of course, applying for a PhD at the University of Munich is not that simple. There are still many processes to go through. First, you must communicate with the professors at the University of Munich. Let him recognize your academic level. Of course, Lu Qiujian is very confident in this; if he gets the professor

After receiving approval, the next step is to go through the process. Lu Qiujian wants to apply for a doctorate in the Department of Physics of the University of Munich. Although he has not yet obtained a master's degree, Princeton's PhD should be able to solve this problem.

The remaining issues, whether it was dsh, the German language test for foreign applicants to German universities or the cost of studying abroad, could be easily solved by Lu Qiujian.

So, let’s prepare an article first. Lu Qiujian has already completed several articles in the field of high energy physics during this period. He studied the collection of papers of which professor. Then he found one that he thought was suitable and took it out separately.

I contacted Witten and Dyson. Now it’s time to ask them for letters of recommendation.

"The University of Munich? It's a good place, but it's still not as good as Princeton. Are you really not considering coming back?" On the phone, Witten still tried to persuade him to return to Bellevue.

"Thank you for the invitation, but I still think Munich is more suitable for me." Lu Qiujian declined his invitation. "But maybe we will meet again next year, and you will probably go too, right?"

"Haha, yes, the LHC Large Hadron Collider is almost completed. I can't wait to see the experimental results." Witten laughed happily, "If I go to Europe, let's meet there.

"

After agreeing on a time to send the letter of recommendation, Lu Qiujian hung up the phone, opened his email, downloaded the comic that Xia Xiao sent and translated it.

The comic originally didn't have much text, so it didn't take much effort for Lu Qiujian to complete the translation, put the text on the screen, and add a submission letter explaining the situation, and all the preparations were completed.

After going out for dinner, I returned home and opened my mailbox to correct and reply to the assignments submitted by the three students. After calculating the time, Dyson and Witten should have sent out the recommendation letters.

So Lu Qiujian sent his thesis application letter and resume to the mailbox of a professor at the University of Munich, and then sent Xia Xiao's work to an editor at Shueisha; the next step was to wait with peace of mind. To be continued.

ps: lhc has not been repaired in reality, but the plan is ahead of schedule in this dimension.
