Event Report
On Feb.18, 2014, 2nd QCD Study Group supported by iTHES-phys team
was held at room 433 in the main research building. Prof. M. Sato (Nagoya
University) gave a lecture on the "Topological Quantum Phenomena"
for about 2 hours starting from 15:00. There were lively discussions on the
topological superconductors and their classification by discrete symmetries
with almost 20 participants from RIKEN, Univ. Tokyo, Keio Univ.,
Kanazawa Univ., and Tokyo Metropolitan Univ.

Person of the Week
Franco Nori
Self-introduction
Greetings! I am Franco Nori, a member of the Interdisciplinary Condensed Matter Physics Team. I have done research at various places, including the Universities of Illinois, California, and Michigan. In January 2002, I moved to RIKEN. Our group here performs research in theoretical condensed matter physics, quantum information processing, transport phenomena, and solar energy. Our research work is interdisciplinary and also explores the interface between atomic physics, quantum optics, nano-science, and computing. We are also studying nano-mechanics, hybrid quantum electro-mechanical systems, quantum nano-electronics, quantum emulators, artificial photosynthesis, and light-to-electricity conversion. Particular emphasis is placed on superconducting Josephson-junction qubits, scalable quantum circuitry and improved designs for their quantum control. An underlying theme of our work is to better understand nano-scale quantum systems and devise methods to control them. We use physical models to make predictions that can be tested experimentally and that can be used to better understand the observed phenomena.
