Self-introduction: Abdul Raafik Arattu Thodika
Hi, I work on molecular simulations of protein systems. I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Arlington in 2026. My research uses multiscale quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) simulations to understand the thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical reactions in enzymes. A major part of my work involves integrating machine learning with these simulations to make them faster and more accurate.

Farewell message from Sungsik Kong
Our colleague, Sungsik Kong, will be joining Sejong University in South Korea as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in September 2026. We will all miss him and wish him every success in this exciting new chapter. Here is a message from Sungsik: I joined iTHEMS in August 2025, and over the past year I have had the privilege of working in an exceptional research environment. Starting in September 2026, I will be joining Sejong University in South Korea as a tenure-track Assistant Professor. While I am excited about this move, I am also sad to be leaving my position as a Research Scientist at iTHEMS. My time at RIKEN has been both challenging and incredibly rewarding. I am deeply grateful to RIKEN and iTHEMS for giving me the opportunity to pursue the scientific questions I am passionate about. I will miss iTHEMS' collaborative atmosphere. I have had the chance to learn from researchers across many different fields, many that I would never have had the opportunity to explore otherwise. Those seminars, colloquiums, and conversations have broadened my perspective, sparked new ideas, and made my time here truly valuable and memorable. If you ever visit Seoul, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Thank you all so much. It has been a real pleasure.

Using chaos and symmetry to bootstrap quantum gravitational wormholes
An international research collaboration between Gabriele Di Ubaldo (RIKEN-Berkeley Center at UC Berkeley and RIKEN iTHEMS), Jan Boruch (University of California, Berkeley, US), Felix M. Haehl (University of Southampton, UK), Eric Perlmutter (Université Paris-Saclay and Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques, France), and Moshe Rozali (University of British Columbia, Canada) published the new study in Physical Review Letters. Random matrix theory provides a universal description of chaos in quantum systems, capturing statistical patterns among energy levels without requiring knowledge of microscopic details. The new challenge addressed is its extension to 2D Conformal Field Theories and their holographically dual 3D quantum gravity via the AdS₃/CFT₂ correspondence. In the AdS₃/CFT₂ correspondence, quantum gravity in a three-dimensional negatively curved spacetime is encoded in a two-dimensional conformal field theory on its boundary. The key difference is modular invariance, a symmetry stating that a theory on a 2D torus is invariant under modular transformations, which imposes stringent constraints and a rigid mathematical structure, seemingly incompatible with quantum chaos and random matrix theory. Building on the 2023 work of Di Ubaldo and Perlmutter, “AdS₃/RMT₂ duality”, the researchers developed a general, nonperturbative framework called RMT₂ that uplifts the correlations of any random matrix model into fully modular-invariant quantities. The team then used RMT₂ to predict quantum amplitudes for 3D wormholes with multiple torus-shaped boundaries. A wormhole is a tunnel-like geometric connection between otherwise separate regions or boundaries of spacetime. While it is not a shortcut for interstellar travel as in sci-fi movies, it encodes deeply quantum information about gravity and black holes. For the three-boundary wormhole, the team also performed a gravity calculation that agrees with the RMT₂ prediction. By turning the earlier AdS₃/RMT₂ proposal into a general framework, the study advances a research direction that Gabriele helped pioneer and provides a new tool for probing black-hole microstates and, in the near future, solving AdS₃ quantum gravity. For further details, please see the article in Physical Review Letters.

Riccardo Muolo Awarded Third Place at Falling Walls Lab Tokyo 2026
Riccardo Muolo awarded 3rd Place at Falling Walls Lab Tokyo, Japan Riccardo Muolo (Special Postdoctoral Researcher, Division of Fundamental Mathematical Science, iTHEMS) took part in the Falling Walls Lab Tokyo, Japan, held on 28 July 2026 at Shibuya Sakura Stage, and was awarded 3rd Place by the jury. The Falling Walls Lab is an international pitch and science-communication competition hosted by the Falling Walls Foundation, a Berlin-based non-profit founded in 2009 on the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The Foundation channels the spirit of that night to ask a recurring question — which are the next walls to fall in science and society — and works to make breakthrough ideas accessible across borders and disciplines. Open to students and early-career professionals of all disciplines and nationalities, the Lab invites participants to pitch their research, business model, or innovative idea in just three minutes, in front of their peers and a jury from academia and business. Academic institutions around the world are invited to host their own Falling Walls Lab and send their winners to the Falling Walls Lab Finale in Berlin, where the Finalists compete for the title of Breakthrough Winner in the Emerging Talents category and the chance to pitch again on the main stage of the Falling Walls Science Summit. This year’s Tokyo edition was organized by EURAXESS Japan, the German Centre for Research and Innovation (DWIH) Tokyo, and Tobitate! Japan. Riccardo’s research covers nonlinear dynamics on networks and higher-order structures, synchronization, Turing pattern formation, and the control of dynamical systems — exactly the kind of cross-disciplinary work the Falling Walls Lab is designed to showcase. Distilling it into a compelling three-minute pitch and earning recognition among a strong international field of participants is a fine achievement. Congratulations, Riccardo!

セミナーレポート
iTHEMS Math Seminar by Mikhail Khovanov on May 28, 2026
On May 28, 2026, iTHEMS hosted a special iTHEMS Math Seminar, “Introduction to Categorification and Link Homology,” delivered by Professor Mikhail Khovanov of Johns Hopkins University. The event was held in a hybrid format at Okochi Hall and via Zoom, with more than 80 participants attending in person and over 70 joining online. Professor Khovanov is a leading mathematician whose work has had a major influence on knot theory, low-dimensional topology, representation theory, and mathematical physics. He is especially well known for introducing the categorification of the Jones polynomial, now called "Khovanov homology". In the talk, Professor Khovanov introduced the idea of “categorification” by starting from the classical relationship between the Euler characteristic and homology groups in topology. He then discussed the Jones polynomial, a knot invariant introduced by mathematician V. F. Jones in the 1980s, with particular emphasis on its representation-theoretic interpretation. He explained how this invariant can be lifted to a homology theory, guiding the audience toward the construction of Khovanov homology. He concluded the talk by mentioning future directions of the theory, including its connections to algebraic geometry and geometric representation theory. Reported by Taketo Sano

森川億人 基礎科学特別研究員が「第21回素粒子メダル奨励賞」を受賞
森川億人 基礎科学特別研究員が、2026年度第21回素粒子メダル奨励賞を受賞しました。本賞は、素粒子論分野において優れた研究業績を挙げた若手研究者に授与される賞です。 受賞対象となった論文では、量子力学や場の理論において重要な役割を果たす共鳴状態について、厳密WKB法に基づく統一的な解析枠組みを構築しました。従来は別々の手法として発展してきたZel'dovich正則化、complex scaling法、rigged Hilbert spaceによる記述を非摂動論的な観点から結び付けることで、共鳴状態を統一的に理解するための基盤を与えました。さらに、具体的な可解模型を用いてその有効性を示し、散乱理論や非エルミート量子系、リサージェンス理論をつなぐ新たな視点を提示したことが高く評価されました。 本研究は、共鳴状態を含む量子論の基礎的理解を深めるとともに、今後、より一般の量子系や場の理論、量子重力における非摂動的構造の解析への発展が期待されています。

2026年4月27日から28日にかけて、数理遺伝学ECL研究ユニットはSUURI-COOL Kyotoで二日間のリトリートを行いました。4月に新たなメンバーが加わったこともあり、今回は普段の研究環境を離れ、チーム全員で交流を深める良い機会となりました。 本ユニットは2024年に発足し、この一年半で6人体制へと成長しました。現在は、ユニットリーダーのシュパイデル玲雄、アシスタントの岩浪僚子さん、昨年加わったLucas SortさんとAina Colomer i Vilaplanaさんに加え、今年からはポスドク研究員のAlba Nieto Herediaさんと博士課程の平澤さつきさんが新たにユニットに加わりました。 私たちは、DNAが世代を超えてどのように受け継がれてきたのかを数理的・統計学的に解析し、ゲノムに刻まれた人類の歴史を読み解く研究を行っています。DNAには、人類の移動や適応、ヒトの起源といった人類史の痕跡が刻まれているほか、進化や健康に関わる手がかりも含まれています。私たちは、数万人規模の現代人ゲノムデータや、古代人の骨から得られたDNAを解析することで、人類集団の成り立ちを明らかにしようとしています。DNAに残された痕跡は、歴史書には記されていない人々の暮らしや移動の歴史を今に伝えています。 今回のリトリートでは、普段の研究活動ではあまり共有する機会のないテーマを持ち寄りました。まず、各自が科研費申請を想定した研究アイデアを発表する模擬グラントセッションを行いました。続いて、日々の研究で活用している実践的な技術を紹介するセッションを実施し、Ainaさんによる図表デザイン、AlbaさんによるVS CodeでのAIツール活用、LucasさんによるLaTeX、平澤さんによる古代DNAシーケンス、そして岩浪さんによる事務手続きのコツなど、多彩な内容が共有されました。最後には、日本の先史時代から古代国家の成立、平安貴族文化、さらに江戸時代に至るまで、日本史をたどるセッションも行いました。添付の写真は京都府宇治市の平等院で撮影したもので、平安時代の文化や歴史の面影を実際に感じることができました。

Farewell message from Iao-Fai Io
Our colleague, Iao-Fai Io, will be returning to National Taiwan University starting in May to complete his Ph.D. We will miss him and wish him all the best in his future career. Here is a message from Iao-Fai: I joined iTHEMS in May 2025 as an International Program Associate (IPA). Over the past year, I have been very happy to be part of the iTHEMS member. RIKEN is one of national research institute in Japan, during my time here I had the opportunity to attend many high-quality seminars and workshops. I have also had the opportunity to visit and interact with member from different centers in RIKEN(such as CEMS, FQSP, RQC, etc.). I am also very grateful for the “coffee meetings” and “iTHEMS Now & Next” events, which helped me understand iTHEMS and learn about research which is beyond my own field. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my host researcher, Dr. Ching-Kai Chiu. He has taught me a great deal about research, particularly in superconductivity and altermagnetism, which has significantly improved my research abilities in condensed matter theory. Whenever I encountered difficulties in my research, he was always willing to discuss them with me and suggest valuable advice. I am also grateful to him for introducing me his collaborators, including Congcong Le (a former iTHEMS member) and collaborators from China. In addition, I would like to thank him for his support during my visits abroad. I would also like to thank Tomoko Iwanami-san and Chikako Ota-san for their administrative support. In addition, I am grateful to all the people I have met at iTHEMS over the past year (such as Yan, Xiaoyang, Duc-Truyen, Tianyin, Zhe, Jinyang, Rumi, Yuta, Brian, Shuntaro, Lingxiao, Muzi, Sho, Satsuki, Iso, Haruki, Tada, Hatsuda, etc.). Over the coming year, I will return to National Taiwan University to complete my Ph.D., while also beginning to apply for postdoctoral positions. In the future, if I have the opportunity, I would be happy to visit RIKEN iTHEMS again. I sincerely hope to see you all again in the near future.

東京都現代美術館「ミッション∞インフィニティ」展の関連プログラムとして2026年3月21日（土）にトークイベント「Useless Science & Art 〜“役に立たない”科学とアートの有用性〜」が開催され、119名が参加しました。本イベントは、2025年8月14日～20に大阪・関西万博 EXPOメッセ「WASSE」で開催された「エンタングル・モーメント［量子・海・宇宙］×芸術」（延べ入場者数約6万人）に続いて、企画されたものです。 本イベントでは、その流れを引き継ぎ、iTHEMS研究者とアーティストが登壇。「一見役に立たない」科学研究やアート表現の価値について議論が行われました。量子ブラックホール理論に着想を得た作品《Black Hole Recorder》を起点に、科学と創造性の関係について多角的な視点が共有されました。 また、来場者からは多くの質問が寄せられ、科学とアートの関係性や価値の捉え方について活発な意見交換が行われるなど、会場は大いに盛り上がりました。本イベントは、万博を契機とした科学とアートの融合の流れをさらに発展させ、長期的視点での知のあり方を考える貴重な機会となりました。 Useless Prototyping Studio《Black Hole Recorder》の展示を含む東京都現代美術館「ミッション∞インフィニティ｜宇宙＋量子＋芸術」展は、2026年5月6日（水・祝）まで開催中です。
