On Friday, February 16th, the sixth talk of the OIST Science Talk Series featuring OIST scientists from Okinawa will take place. The speaker this time is Dr. Naoyuki Taira from the Ishikawa Unit. The talk is the last one of the series which started in September 2017. The talk series was very popular and well received by the public, so we will have an extra event in March in which five of the six speakers will get together and respond to questions come from the public. The two remaining events will start from 18:30-19:30 at Junku-do Book Store in Naha (1-19-29 Makishi, Naha-city). *The talk is in Japanese only.

作品展

Learn to use the Sango and Tombo HPC clusters at OIST with this two-part introduction. You need no previous experience.

Dr. Theodore Evans, Associate Professor, the University of Western Australia.

Language: English, no interpretation.

I will discuss two experiments at the University of Auckland. In the first experiment we consider a two dimensional Bose gas in an "atomtronic" circuit. We will look at the effects of Anderson localization and of quantum turbulence.

In the second experiment we consider an optical nanofiber, which is part of a fiberoptic ring resonator, interacting with atoms in a MOT. We see strong coupling between atoms and photons, and show saturation of the system for 13 photons in the resonator.

Dr. Hooglerland's expertised field

My research is been centered around the interaction and correspondence between light and matter, and the application of its principles to other areas of research. At low temperatures, matter can be made to behave much like light, i.e., best described by waves. In its interaction with such matter, light can behave like it is composed of particles. Laser cooling and trapping forms a key technique in understanding this interplay. I apply these cooling and trapping techniques to experimental research areas of fundamental atomic physics, quantum chaos, quantum information, and atom lasers. From this research emerges a deeper understanding of the quantum world, which determines in turn what happens in the world around us. Spin-offs from this research I am involved with are improved spectroscopic techniques, laser techniques, interferometric high-precision measurements and atomic beam applications.

The series will be continued until February 2018, every third Friday night from 18:30-19:30 at Junku-do Book Store in Naha (1-19-29 Makishi, Naha-city). *The talk is in Japanese only.

Had a terrible week (and it's not even over yet)? Is your New Year off to a lousy start? Worry not, friends, we've got you covered. Tea and biscuits will be served at 16:00, restaurant level of Center Building. You will still have problems, but hey, at least you can also have tea.

We had a kettle; we let it leak:

Our not repairing made it worse.

We haven't had any tea for a week...

The bottom is out of the Universe.
