   SPEAKER: Prof. Shinichiro Sakikawa
   AFFILIATION: International Relations Center, Kochi University of Technology, Tosa Yamada, Kochi, Japan
   TITLE: Research cooperation with Kochi University of Technology
    
2. Monday (sic!), May 20, 2019 at 11:00 in room 16, Faculty of Physics AMU.
   SPEAKER: Prof. Taksu Cheon
   AFFILIATION: Laboratory of Physics, Kochi University of Technology, Tosa Yamada, Kochi, Japan
   TITLE: Some aspects of quantum graph theory
   The quantum graph is a concept describing a system of quantum particles on graphs made up of lines and vertices. It is a mathematical and solvable model of nano wire-based and quantum dot-based single-electron devices. We point out the existence of several intriguing nontrivial features of quantum graphs such as threshold resonance and controlled spectral filtering of quantum flux, and discuss their application in modeling and designing of quantum devices.  
    
3. Tuesday (sic!), May 21, 2019 at 13:00 in room 16, Faculty of Physics AMU.
   SPEAKER: Prof. Taksu Cheon
   AFFILIATION: Laboratory of Physics, Kochi University of Technology, Tosa Yamada, Kochi, Japan
   TITLE: Introduction to opinion dynamics
   Majority rule is a ubiquitous principle of collective decision making in social animals from bee to human. Despite its apparent simplicity, there are many paradoxical phenomena in democratic majority rule, such as the persistence of powerful dominating minority and majority-assisting function of contrarian opponents. In this talk, I introduce “opinion dynamics”, which has been developed in search of a mathematical model describing the realistic features of majority rule. We detail its structure, mathematical properties and predictions.
