Moss sporophytes and their consumers: an overlooked interaction

2025年5月22日(木) 13:00 - 14:00

今田 弓女 (京都大学 大学院理学研究科 生物科学専攻 助教)

The evolution of plant-feeding in animals is deeply intertwined with the unintentional transport of diaspores. Zoochory (the dispersal of plant diaspores by animals) has been extensively studied in flowering plants, particularly with regard to seeds and fruits. Bryophytes, in contrast, have poorly been investigated, despite possessing traits favorable for animal-mediated dispersal: they are small, easily transported, and exhibit high totipotent capacity. It has long been believed that bryophytes are rarely consumed by animals. However, our field survey into sporophyte-feeding across diverse forest-dwelling mosses (the largest clade of bryophytes) revealed the ubiquity of spore consumption. This finding prompts a re-evaluation of the ecological function of the sporophyte in the alternation of generations in mosses. Moreover, our data suggest that this interaction may be framed within the mutualism–antagonism continuum. Finally, I aim to clarify key questions surrounding the reproduction and dispersal of spore-producing plants, particularly bryophytes.

Beyond-classical simulations using a quantum annealer

2025年5月23日(金) 10:00 - 11:15

Alberto Nocera (Senior Staff Scientist, Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute, The University of British Columbia, Canada)

Join us for an electrifying online zoom talk featuring Dr. Alberto Nocera, the author of the groundbreaking Science article detailing D-Wave's quantum annealer outperforming classical supercomputers in simulating complex magnetic materials. D-Wave’s quantum annealer uses quantum annealing to efficiently solve optimization problems by finding low-energy states of complex systems. Unlike IBM and Quantinuum’s gate-based quantum computers, which are universal and execute algorithms via quantum circuits, D-Wave’s system is specialized but currently more scalable and practical for certain applications. While gate-based systems are still limited by noise and error rates, D-Wave’s annealer recently demonstrated a quantum advantage in simulating magnetic materials, outperforming classical supercomputers. This highlights a key difference: D-Wave excels in specific tasks today, while IBM and Quantinuum aim for broader, long-term quantum computational capabilities. Talk Abstract: Solving the equations governing the dynamics of interacting many-particle quantum systems is one of the biggest challenges in modern science. In 1982, Richard P. Feynman envisioned that the best way to emulate the behavior of many-particle quantum systems is to use another quantum system, starting the field of quantum simulation. Rather than seeking to solve the fundamental equations of quantum mechanics using conventional or classical computers, in quantum simulation one seeks to simulate a quantum system using an "analog device" mimicking its behavior, hoping to access solutions which are not easy to compute otherwise. In this talk, using the quantum annealing simulator device developed by D-Wave as a main tool, I will show that the use of tensor network methods has a key role in quantum simulation: besides benchmarking the quantum device, they can assess and help establishing its functionality beyond the classically simulatable regime [1].

SISSI: Supernovae in a Shearing, Stratified Interstellar Medium

2025年5月23日(金) 14:00 - 15:15

Leonard Romano (Ph.D. Student, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Germany)

Supernovae (SNe) are an important driver of the multiphase structure in the Interstellar Medium (ISM) and play an important role for regulating star formation. SNe inflate large bubbles of hot gas dubbed Supernova Remnants (SNRs) that can remain hot for several 10⁵-10⁶ years, contributing substantially to the volume filling hot phase, galactic outflows and the driving of turbulence in the ISM. In this talk, I am presenting the results of zoom-in simulations of SNRs embedded in a simulated isolated Milky-Way analogue, in order to investigate how environmental effects like shear, vertical stratification and a self-consistently generated ISM can affect various properties of SNRs. I find that initially microscopic SNRs, whose dynamics are dominated by local shock physics, after a few Myr enter a mesoscopic regime, where their dynamics are increasingly dominated by galactic scale processes. Based on these findings, I make predictions about SN-driven large-scale structure, such as galactic outflows and the geometry of large superbubbles in disk galaxies.

Colored Links and Topological Vortex Structures

2025年5月23日(金) 16:00 - 17:45

Toni Annala (Dickson Instructor, Department of Mathematics, The University of Chicago, USA)

Topological vortices are intriguing defects that emerge in a wide range of physical systems, including Bose–Einstein condensates and liquid crystals. In this talk, I will describe how the global structure of such vortices can be captured pictorially using colored link diagrams—or more generally, colored embedded graphs. Through a variety of examples, I will illustrate how this framework can be used to classify and analyze vortex configurations. In particular, I will highlight conditions under which these structures are topologically protected, in the sense that they cannot decay into collections of disjoint loops without destroying the underlying phase of the system. These investigations naturally give rise to new topological invariants of colored links, which can be used to distinguish and classify such vortex structures.

Generalized symmetry from Type IIB superstring theory

2025年5月27日(火) 16:00 - 17:00

川平 将志 (神戸大学 大学院理学研究科 物理学専攻 博士研究員)

Recently, generalized symmetries have enabled the systematic analysis of various quantum systems. In this talk, we focus on global generalized symmetries that appear in the low-energy effective theory of type IIB superstring theory (i.e., type IIB supergravity). Specifically, we highlight the SL(2,ℤ) gauge symmetry (self-duality) in type IIB supergravity. We see that a global ℤ₁₂ eight-form symmetry arises as the quantum symmetry of the SL(2,ℤ) gauge symmetry. And we discuss its topological operator and its relation to 7-branes. This talk is based on joint work with Hiroki Wada (Tohoku University) and Naoto Kan (Osaka University).

Non-perturbative formulation of resonant quantum mechanics within unified exact WKB framework

2025年5月28日(水) 16:00 - 17:30

森川 億人 (理化学研究所 数理創造研究センター (iTHEMS) 数理基礎部門 基礎科学特別研究員)

We study quasi-stationary states in quantum mechanics using the exact WKB analysis as a non-perturbative framework. We explore unstable states such as resonances by analyzing the inverted Rosen-Morse potential, which exhibits barrier resonance. This model allows exact solutions, enabling a direct comparison with exact WKB predictions. We provide a simple analytic picture of resonance and demonstrate consistency between exact and WKB-based results. A unified exact WKB framework is developed for exploring the equivalence and complementarity of different well-established regularizations \`a la Zel'dovich, complex scaling, and rigged Hilbert space within this framework.

Ecology and Evolution of Mammal-Microbe Interactions

2025年5月29日(木) 16:00 - 17:00

鈴木 太一 (Assitant Professor, Biodesign Center for Health Through Microbiomes, Arizona State University, USA)

A critical open question in microbiome research is identifying key host-microbial interactions that influence host fitness. While the disruption of coevolved host-microbial interactions is known to affect host fitness in simpler systems (e.g., insects and their symbionts), understanding the extent and consequences of host-microbial coevolution in more complex systems (e.g., mammals and their gut microbiota) remains a major challenge. My research has identified multiple species of gut microbes in adults and children that share a parallel evolutionary history with humans by analyzing paired human genotypes and bacterial strain genotypes. In another line of work, I applied a selection experiment demonstrating that selection and transmission of the microbiome and its metabolites can alter mouse locomotion behavior within four rounds of microbiome transfer, without any changes to the mouse genome. Finally, I will briefly outline my future plans to study the effects of disrupting evolutionary stable host-microbial associations on the phenotypes of deer mice (Peromyscus spp.) in the Madrean Sky Islands and genetically diverse human populations in Arizona.

Extracting particle mass on quantum computers: state preparation and measurement

2025年6月3日(火) 11:00 - 12:30

王 啸洋 (理化学研究所 数理創造研究センター (iTHEMS) 数理展開部門 量子数理科学チーム 特別研究員)

In this seminar, I will introduce the procedure of extracting particle mass from the ab initio calculation using quantum computers, including two essential steps: state preparation and measurement. For the measurement process, in our recent work "Computing n-time correlation functions without ancilla qubits" [arXiv:2504.12975], we developed a measurement method for correlation functions without ancilla qubits, circumventing longstanding hardware constraints of limited qubit connectivity and short-range control operations. We demonstrate our method using IBM quantum hardware and successfully reproduce the noiseless results of the Schwinger model hadron mass within a relative error of 0.18%, even in the presence of realistic hardware limitations and noise. For the state preparation process, another work "Performance guarantees of light-cone variational quantum algorithms for the maximum cut problem" [arXiv:2504.12896] focused on the accuracy of the state preparation using variational quantum algorithms (VQAs). We propose a light-cone VQA with provable performance guarantees, whose single round has higher accuracy than the 3-round standard VQA for the maximum cut problem. We experimentally validated the single-round light-cone VQA using IBM quantum hardware with solution accuracy that exceeds the known classical hardness threshold in both a 72-qubit demonstration and a 148-qubit demonstration.

Jaydeep Kumar Basak (Post-doctoral Fellow, Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), Republic of Korea)

In this talk, I will introduce Latent entropy" (L-entropy) as a novel measure to characterize genuine multipartite entanglement in pure states, applicable to quantum systems with both finite and infinite degrees of freedom. This measure, derived from an upper bound on reflected entropy, attains its maximum for three-party GHZ states and $n=4,5$-party $2$-uniform states. I will also show the generalization of this measure for higher party states. Furthermore, I will discuss an analogue of the Page curve in multiboundary wormholes. If time permits, I will show the behaviour of multipartite entanglement in random states.

From Galaxies to Cosmological Structures: The Multi-Scale Influence of Cosmic Rays

2025年6月13日(金) 14:00 - 15:15

Ellis Owen (理化学研究所 開拓研究所 (PRI) 長瀧天体ビッグバン研究室 基礎科学特別研究員)

Cosmic rays interact with astrophysical systems over a broad range of scales. They go hand-in-hand with violent, energetic astrophysical environments, and are an active agent able to regulate the evolution and physical conditions of galactic and circum-galactic ecosystems. Depending on their energy, cosmic rays can also escape from their galactic environments of origin, and propagate into larger-scale cosmological structures. In this talk, I will discuss the impacts of cosmic rays retained in galaxies. I will show they can deposit energy and momentum to alter the initial conditions of star-formation, modify the circulation of baryons around galaxies, and have the potential to regulate long-term galaxy evolution. I will highlight some of the astrophysical consequences of contained hadronic and leptonic cosmic rays in and around galaxies, and how their influence can be probed using signatures including X-rays, gamma-rays and neutrinos. I will also discuss what happens to the cosmic rays that escape from galaxies, including their interactions with the magnetized large-scale structures of our Universe, and the fate of distant high-energy cosmic rays that do not reach us on Earth.

Generative Models for Statistical Field Theories

2025年6月25日(水) 15:00 - 16:00

王 凌霄 (理化学研究所 数理創造研究センター (iTHEMS) 数理基礎部門 研究員)

In the final talk of the DEEP-IN series, we will explore the role of generative models in learning phase transitions and sampling in lattice systems. First, we demonstrate how generative models can serve as global samplers by learning the underlying probability distributions. This enables the sampling of configurations more efficiently for lattice field theories. We will also demonstrate how the ferromagnetic phase transition, the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition, and quantum phase transitions can be identified from generative models. I will briefly introduce generative diffusion models, which can be interpreted as a stochastic quantization scheme. This opens a new path for understanding deep generative models. This is an informal seminar, we will start with the methodology and some practical examples, and finally reserve time for everyone interested to discuss it together.

Simulating the spread of infection in networks with quantum computers

2025年6月26日(木) 13:00 - 14:00

王 啸洋 (理化学研究所 数理創造研究センター (iTHEMS) 数理展開部門 量子数理科学チーム 特別研究員)

Many classical stochastic processes can be modeled as Markovian processes, including the spreading of infection in networks. Simulating the Markovian processes using classical computers is generally unscalable for large networks. In this seminar, I will introduce the Hamiltonian evolution on quantum computers and how the Markovian spreading of infection can be efficiently simulated using the Hamiltonian evolution. In particular, we analytically and numerically analyze the evolution of a specifically designed Hamiltonian, and prove that the evolution simulates a classical Markovian process, which describes the well-known epidemiological stochastic susceptible and infectious (SI) model. As an example, we simulate the infection spreading process of the SARS-CoV-2 variant Omicron in a small-world network. The simulation results are qualitative consistent with the infection spreading in the west coast of USA.

Exact WKB as unified analytic structure for resonance physics

2025年6月27日(金) 15:00 - 17:00

森川 億人 (理化学研究所 数理創造研究センター (iTHEMS) 数理基礎部門 基礎科学特別研究員)

We develop a unified framework for analyzing quantum mechanical resonances using the exact WKB method. The non-perturbative formulation based on the exact WKB method works for incorporating well-established phenomenological regularizations, the ABC theorem (proof of the completeness of Hilbert space), and the rigged Hilbert space in resonant phenomena. By examining the inverted Rosen-Morse potential, we illustrate how the exact WKB analysis captures resonant phenomena rigorously. Also, we clarify the corresponding linear spaces defined in each step of the exact WKB manipulations. The complementarity between the essential analyticity for resonance and the ABC theorem leads us to construct a modified Hilbert space called the rigged Hilbert space within the exact WKB framework. This offers a deeper understanding of resonant states and their analytic structures. Our results provide a concrete demonstration of the non-perturbative accuracy of exact WKB methods in unstable quantum systems.

Boundary Scattering and Non-invertible Symmetries in 1+1 Dimensions

2025年7月4日(金) 14:00 - 15:00

嶋守 聡一郎 (大阪大学 博士課程)

Recent studies by Copetti, Córdova and Komatsu have revealed that when non-invertible symmetries are spontaneously broken, the conventional crossing relation of the S-matrix is modified by the effects of the corresponding topological quantum field theory (TQFT). We extend these considerations to (1+1)-dimensional quantum field theories (QFTs) with boundaries. In the presence of a boundary, one can define not only the bulk S-matrix but also the boundary S-matrix, which is subject to a consistency condition known as the boundary crossing relation. We show that when the boundary is weakly-symmetric under the non-invertible symmetry, the conventional boundary crossing relation also receives a modification due to the TQFT effects. As a concrete example of the boundary scattering, we analyze kink scattering in the gapped theory obtained from the Φ(1,3)-deformation of a minimal model. We explicitly construct the boundary S-matrix that satisfies the Ward-Takahashi identities associated with non-invertible symmetries. This talk is based on the collaboration with Satoshi Yamaguchi.

Chemical and isotopic analyses of samples returned by the Hayabusa2 mission from the asteroid Ryugu

2025年8月1日(金) 14:00 - 15:30

横山 哲也 (東京科学大学 理学院 地球惑星科学系 教授)

The recent success of asteroid sample return missions has led to significant advances in Solar System science. JAXA's Hayabusa2 successfully retrieved and returned to Earth a total of 5.4 grams of samples from the C-type asteroid Ryugu. Sample return missions are critical to the scientific community, as they provide pristine, terrestrially unaltered extraterrestrial material. The analytical data obtained in laboratories for samples collected by space missions will facilitate the understanding of the formation and evolution of the Solar System. I was appointed deputy leader of the Initial Analysis Chemistry team of Hayabusa2 project, and was heavily involved in analyzing the chemical and isotopic compositions of Ryugu materials. A series of analyses of these samples indicated that the mineral, chemical, and isotopic compositions of Ryugu bear a strong resemblance to those of the Ivuna-type (CI) carbonaceous chondrites. CI chondrites have been recognized as a unique group of meteorites with a chemical composition similar to that of the solar photosphere except for highly volatile elements and Li. In the seminar, I will present the meaning and significance of the compositional similarity between Ryugu and CI chondrites. I will also present our recent activities in a new project called the Ryugu Reference Project, which was initiated to maximize the potential value of the returned samples.
