The Provost Lecture Series - In appreciation of his strong and lasting impact on OIST

Quantum computers can use many forms of quantum systems to encode and process quantum information. There has been a lot of interest recently on using modes of light to encode quantum information but this brings with it some questions about how to encode quantum information into an infinite dimensional Hilbert space which is robust against errors. This talk will show how this can be achieved.

Can quantum mechanics help with the precise imaging of faint astronomical objects? In this talk Dr Huang will explain her recent research about a quantum protocol for distributed quantum sensing with applications to telescope arrays.

In the face of ongoing change across our world, societies, and organizations, Inclusive Leadership is critical for creating conditions and climates that enhance adaptability, empowerment and collaboration, and a strong sense of community and belonging. This year’s symposium brings us together to explore how the qualities of inclusive leadership can be engendered at multiple levels across our institutions.

We invite participants from Japan and across the world to engage in discussions, inquiry, and strategic thinking to explore how to: develop institutional cultures where every individual can thrive and their contributions are valued; instill ownership amongst leaders at all levels to actively foster inclusion and equity; empower those who identify as people from minoritized and underrepresented backgrounds to realize their full leadership potential.

Optomechanics is the science that describes the interaction of light with moving objects. It has developed rapidly over the past ten years and has many applications in developing novel high precision sensors such as LIGO. Dr Harris will describe research which uses magnetically levitated liquid Helium to perform optomechanical experiments.

Prof. Ugur Abdulla Analysis and Partial Differential Equations Unit

Professor Ugur Abdulla received Ph.D. in Mathematics from Soviet Union Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Physical & Mathematical Sciences degree from High Attestation Comission of the Azerbaijan Republic, Habilitation Doctor degree in Mathematics from Saxon Ministry of Art and Sciences in Germany. He was a Royal Society Research Professor at the University of Nottingham in England, Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the Universities of Paderborn, Bremen and Bonn in Germany, and Max-Planck Research Fellow at the Max-Planck Institute for Mathematics in Natural Sciences in Leipzig , Germany. Prior joining OIST, he was a Professor of Mathematics at the Florida Institute of Technology, United States in 2004-2022. Professor Abdulla is an expert on Partial Differential Equations, Potential Theory, Calculus of Variations & Optimal Control, and Mathematical Biosciences with 62 scholarly publications. He solved an outstanding open problem posed by Kolmogorov in 1928, and proved the Wiener-type criterion at infinity for the second-order elliptic and parabolic PDEs.
