2nd ASPIRE Technical Training Workshop – DiamondQTech
- Date: September 24-25, 2026
- Description:This is the second Technical Workshop of the International Research Project DIAMONDQTECH, a bilateral research project funded by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). The project is led by Prof. Takeshi Ohshima (QST, Japan) and Prof. Fedor Jelezko (Ulm University, Germany). The workshop provides technical training for students, researchers, and faculty interested in advanced research involving the development of diamond-based quantum technologies. It will take place over two days, September 24–25, 2026, at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and is open to all.

Dynamics, Fluctuations, and Entanglement in Quantum Materials and Many-Body Systems
- Date: October 14–16, 2026
- Description: This three-day focused workshop aims to promote the exchange of ideas among researchers working on quantum materials and many-body systems. The scientific scope includes quantum dynamics and fluctuations, entanglement, quantum state tomography, frustration effects, exotic ordered phases, and related topics. Primarily theoretical in focus while remaining closely connected to ongoing experimental developments, the workshop is designed to encourage discussion and in-depth exchange among participants. The program will feature early- to mid-career researchers, complemented by senior speakers providing broader perspectives, with the goal of generating new theoretical insights and stimulating future collaborations.
