Prof. Masaki Shigemori from our group B01 will give two public lectures in Japanese on May 18th and 22nd, entitled "What is string theory?" and "What is holography?".
We will have the 5th online colloquium “Extreme Universe Colloquium” on Apr. 25 (Mon) 10am (JST). The speaker is Prof. Jiro Soda (Kobe University). For details, please refer to the poster. If you have not registered yet, please register at our online event website by Apr. 20 (Wed). (It is not necessary to register again if you have done it already.)
The Fourth Extreme Universe Colloquium was held [Colloquium Video][Slides].
From 3rd until 5th March 2022, The First Extreme Universe School was held at Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University, as a hybrid (online/in-person) meeting. Up to 340 people attended the lectures simultaneously. Hot discussions were held during the get-together session and the poster session, both online only, in the evenings [photo].
On 7th and 8th March 2022, The First Annual Meeting was held at Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University, as a hybrid (online/in-person) meeting. Presentations were given about research achievements and research projects on each theme of the Extreme Universe. There were lively discussions between researchers from various disciplines[photo].
A joint press release from Nihon University and Kindai University has been issued on a paper by Prof. Daisuke Yamamoto and Prof. Ippei Danshita from project B02 and their collaborators. They have proposed a new quantum droplet state of cold atom gas due to a novel mechanism by their numerical simulation with experimental realization in mind. For details, see https://journals.aps.org/pra/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevA.105.L031301 .
A paper by Prof. Masazumi Honda and Dr Etsuko Itou from project D01 is press released. In certain situations, the opposite charges repel each other. This interesting phenomenon is successfully reproduced by using a quantum algorithm. For details, see https://www.yukawa.kyoto-u.ac.jp/research/r333?lang=en-US
