We aim to elucidate the "extreme universe" from the new perspective that all things are composed of "quantum information", going beyond the conventional understanding of "time, space, and matter" in physics. This "extreme universe" refers to the extreme conditions of the natural world, and includes the following three targets:
(i) quantum theory of Black holes (i.e. the limit of space),
(ii) quantum theory of Cosmology (i.e. the limit of time),
(iii) Dynamics of quantum matter (i.e. the limit of matter).
To solve these problems, we need the ultimate understanding of the laws of physics.
The 4th young researchers' workshop of the Extreme Universe Collaboration @ Kyukamura Irago, June 30(Mon.)-July 4(Fri.), 2025
We have opened [a Youtube channel] dedicated to our collaboration activities. The videos we have now include the videos of the colloquia. We expect that more videos will come up in the near future.
WHAT’S NEW
The 4rd young researchers' workshop of the Extreme Universe Collaboration was held at Kyukamura Irago, Aichi, Japan, with about 70 participants, who exchanged their latest research results and had discussions on quantum information, elementary particle physics, cosmology, and condensed matter physics.
A press release is made by Prof. Tomoyuki Morimae from our group A01 and his collaborator about "World's first proof of equivalence between quantum transcendence and cryptographic security." [Link]
