Program fixed

Check it out by clicking "Program" above. Please note the following:
  • All speakers please be aware that the participants are from various fields of physics and mathematics. You should spend a considerable time for introduction in your talk.

Deadline Extension!

As most anticipated, we extend the deadline by one week to JUNE 22, 2016.
For those who seek travel support, however, please finish the registration as soon as possible. We will start considering the travel support on June 16.

This problem was (hopefully) solved. --->Sorry, the registration site is temporarily unavailable. We are trying to fix it. Thank you for your patience.

Registration is now OPEN!

Please register and, if apply, send us the abstract, by JUNE 15, 2016. Sorry for the short notice!

Three Steps to Take

  1. Go to the registraion site and finish the registration. Registration fee is 15,000 yen for general participans and 10,000 yen for students.
  2. If you apply for a talk (possibly oral or poster):
    1. download the template latex file;
    2. rename the file according to your name as "phhqp16_hatano.tex".
    3. fill out the file but keep it within one page and compile it. The result should look like this.
    4. send the latex file and the compiled pdf file back to nhorg@iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp, including your name in the subject of the e-mail.
  3. Find your accommodation. You can use the accommodation site, but you can also find your accommodation by yourself.

Scope

The importance of non-Hermitian operators in physics is being widely acknowledged in recent years. New studies are sprouting every day in all areas of physics with increasing citations, not only in quantum mechanics, such as

  • PT-symmetric quantum mechanics,
  • Quasi- and pseudo-Hermitian operators in quantum mechanics,
  • Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians of open quantum systems,
but also in classical systems, such as
  • the Fokker-Planck dynamics,
  • fluid dynamics,
  • stochastic processes,
and so on. The main purpose of the present workshop is to bring together researchers working on non-Hermitian operators and researchers who are interested in it but have not worked on it, thereby promoting the study further into a higher realm. The topics will include (but not restricted to) mathematical, theoretical and experimental aspects of the listed above.

Sightseeing in Kyoto

We are planning a social event on Wednesday. For individual sightseeing in Kyoto, see for example

Sister Workshop

There will be a strongly related workshop in the previous week (August 3 - 5, 2016) in Osaka:
Resonance and non-Hermitian quantum mechanics 2016.

Osaka and Kyoto are both in the same Kansai area of Japan, both served by the Kansai International Airport (KIX), and well connected by several train lines as shown in here.
