Interdisciplinary symposium on modern density functional theory

June 19 (Mon) - 23 (Fri) 2017

Density functional theory (DFT) is one of the most widely used methods for quantum many-body problems in condensed matter, nuclear physics, and quantum chemistry. Although we share similar theoretical frameworks and computational techniques, we sometimes use quite different languages, which sets a certain barrier for efficient interdisciplinary collaborations on modern DFT, in particular, that powered by High Performance Computing Infrastructure (HPCI). The key idea of this symposium is to have intensive interdisciplinary discussions and to initiate a new collaboration platform, in particular, by introducing the basic methodology and highlighting the latest hot topics in the fields condensed matter, nuclear physics, and quantum chemistry. iTHEMS-AICS-RNC-U.Tokyo joint symposium

Deep learning and physics

June 5 (Mon) 13:00 - 18:00, 2017

We are happy to announce our 3rd joint symposium of Osaka CTSR, RIKEN iTHES/iTHEMS and Kavli IPMU, focusing this time on the topic of deep learning and its relation to fundamental physics. The rapid and vast applications of deep learning and artificial intelligence can potentially provide a breakthrough in various situations in fundamental physics. Invited speakers will deliver a cutting-edge progress in this interesting and developing fields, and participants are expected to join discussions. In addition, in the morning (9:00-12:00) at Nambu hall, we have an informal lecture course on deep learning by M. Taki (in Japanese). Osaka CTSR - RIKEN iTHES/iTHEMS - Kavli IPMU Joint Symposium
