This training course will show you how to make best use of the high-performance computing resources at OIST. In the first session we show you how computing clusters are organized and introduce the fundamental concepts of parallel computing.

Talk by Nicky Kai Hong Li, Technical University of Vienna (Austria)

Seminar Summary: Certifying entanglement is an important step in the development of many quantum technologies, especially for higher-dimensional systems, where entanglement promises increased capabilities for quantum communication and computation. A key feature distinguishing entanglement from classical correlations is the occurrence of correlations for complementary measurement bases.

A beginner's introduction to using the clusters and other computing resources at OIST. This is the second, hands-on session.

In the talk “Adapting Basic Spectroscopic Research to Commercial Medical Devices: Lessons Learned from EPR Measurements of Molecular Oxygen in Tissues,” Prof. Swartz and Prof. Flood will discuss the application of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) in measuring tissue oxygen levels. The talk will highlight the challenges and successes in developing EPR for human use, particularly in oxygen and radiation exposure measurements.

TSVP Talk Language: English (no interpretation). Target audience: General audience / everyone at OIST and beyond. Freely accessible to all OIST members and guests without registration (also via Zoom).

The command line is the primary way to use the high performance computing resources at OIST. Here we quickly learn the basics we need to become comfortable and productive.

We welcome startups from OIST and Okinawa Prefectural Government-certified partner venture capital firms as guests and host an event to discuss the innovation that begins in Okinawa and at OIST.

*Japanese-English simultaneous interpretation will be provided.

The AQTTI workshop will be hosted by the Experimental Quantum Information Physics Unit.

Ahead of the spring 2025 opening of the YIL (Yagami Innovation Laboratory), which will bring a fresh breeze to education and research, OIST-KEIO will host an exchange event! Tom Froese, Assistant Professor leading the Embodied Cognitive Science Unit, will discuss how the human mind is shaped by interactions with "agents" such as avatars and robots, as well as with the environment. He will share insights from his research and discuss future directions.

OIST's Communication and Public Relations Division will host a talk event in Tokyo on Science and Art.

By combining the inspiration of art with the insights of science, science communicators, scientists, and artists can collaborate and then reach a wider audience with the results of their interactions.

In dynamic presentations, five innovators will share their ideas, passions, and work in science and art, highlighting the opportunities, challenges, and implications of bringing these two worlds together.

The audience is anyone involved in science communication, including universities, research institutes, NGOs, corporations, embassies, and government agencies. We invite you to join us to spark your imagination and inspire your work.

The event will take place in person in Tokyo, but will be delivered online as part of the UN Science Summit program.

At the upcoming seminar for the professional development program, I will have the opportunity to share my unique experiences transitioning from academia to industry, as well as my involvement with non-profit organizations. These experiences serve as examples of the diverse career opportunities available within the field of science.
