OIST Mini Symposium - Talk 14 | Organizing unit: Quantum Machines Unit (Jason Twamley) | Website | Register here (Open to the scientific community (registration required))

TQM unit is pleased to invite you to the seminar!

As part of my rotation project I will give a series of introductory lectures on the SYK model. In Part IV, I discuss how conformal symmetry emerges in the infrared limit.

Learn how to call a taxi, give directions to a location, and describe a place with simple adjectives, all in Japanese.

For the past 20 years, Japan has been lagging behind in the transformation of industrial structures through disruptive innovations that have emerged in various parts of the world. In the past, Japan has produced many innovative technologies in high-tech industries and materials, but it is starting to lose sight of the importance of "science and technology" in the rush of businesses.

However, unexpected technologies can only be produced with advancement of science and technology linked to information about markets, businesses, and products. For this reason, reboot of science and technology is a must.

So, what is required for Japan to lead the world again? What does it take for Japan to regain its strength in science and technology?

To find solutions to this major issue, a total of 12 great minds will meet to share their "knowledges.” These members include Dr. Kazuto Ataka, the author of the best-selling book "Shin Nihon (New Japan)," a Nobel Laureate in Physics, Dr. Takaaki Kajita, Dr. Hiroaki Kitano of Sony Computer Science Laboratories, and Dr. Peter Gruss, President of Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST).

The key people from industry, government, and academia will meet at the three-day online conference to discuss issues.

Language: English

Second in the series "From Okinawa to the World: Future Scientists Spread Their Wings"

This session will be done in Japanese only. The program is consisted of OIST general introduction, PhD & Research Internship admission process, financial support and student life followed by the panel discussion by 2 OIST PhD students. One of them has joined OIST Research Internship Program before becoming OIST PhD student so this session will be very exciting for those who are interested in Research Internship Program as well as PhD program.
