Title: IBM’s recent progress on quantum computing development: Era of quantum utility

I want to tell you about something that came out of OIST. Last May OIST hosted a work- shop in analysis, random walks and potential theory on metric spaces, which showcased some exciting developments in these areas. I was fortunate to participate, and the topics of the conference prompted discussions with another participant Mathav Murugan, who told about an open problem regarding the conformal dimension of the Sierpinski carpet. The question asks, if different definitions of this notion are equal. Through discussions at the workshop, I solved this question. I will explain the problem, the notions of conformal dimension, and the crucial tool: a new notion of discrete modulus. There are roughly two approaches classically to define discrete modulus, and this new approach lies roughly in between the two — in such a way, that it can benefit from good estimates in both of the worlds. The talk will be fairly mathematical, but I will try to give definitions of the main concepts and some motivation.

Science Talk

2023年7月29日の第1回講演会に引き続きDr. Kana Grace がニューロダイバージェント者の実際の生活体験と当事者としての過去、現在の困難さと対応方法の紹介、また、科学者として、これらの個人的な洞察に科学的情報を加えてお伝えします。オーティズム（自閉症）、ADHD、ディスレクシア、ディスプラクシア、トゥレットというニューロダイバージェンスと、それらと併発する可能性の高い身体的課題であるエーラス・ダンロスやマスト細胞活性症候群などのトピックをお話しします。

Continuing from the first lecture on July 29, 2023, Dr. Kana Grace will reflect personal experiences as neurodivergent individuals and their past and present difficulties and ways of coping with the challenges, and as a scientist, she will will discuss the neurodivergences of Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, and Tourette's, and the physical challenges that are likely to occur such as Ehlers-Danlos and Mast Cell Activity Syndrome.

Speaker: Dr. Denis Brazke, Heidelberg University
