PLENARY LECTURE 1

Title: "Quantum Simulation with Atoms and Ions"
 

Abstract:

Quantum simulators provide a powerful new approach to exploring many-body phenomena that can lie beyond the reach of classical computation. Among the most promising platforms are systems of atoms and ions controlled with laser light, which combine precision with the potential for scalability. In this talk, I will review recent progress in quantum simulation from both theoretical and experimental perspectives. I will first highlight advances in analog and digital simulation techniques, covering topics from condensed matter physics to high-energy physics. I will then discuss how atomic platforms can be used to address fundamental questions in quantum science, including the exploration of large-scale entanglement and the simulation of lattice gauge theories. On the applied side, I will describe approaches for designing quantum materials with targeted properties. I will conclude with a forward-looking perspective on verifying quantum simulators operating in the regime of quantum advantage, with the goal of establishing simulations with certified error bounds.

PLENARY LECTURE 2

Title: "The Science of Space Radiation: From Fundamentals to Exploration"
 

Abstract:

Behind the veil of seemingly endless emptiness, invisible radiation permeates every space mission—originating from the Sun, from outer space in the form of galactic cosmic rays, and even from Earth itself through the radiation belts. Space radiation is inherently multidisciplinary: deciphering its nature is a fundamental scientific endeavor, while protecting spacecraft and astronauts from its harmful effects requires technological and engineering innovations.

In this talk, I will provide a broad overview of space radiation environment, aiming to introduce the subject to the Korean physics community. I will highlight the scientific aspects (ranging from heliophysics, magnetospheric physics, and planetary science) as well as the engineering subjects (such as radiation effects on materials and electronic devices and radiation shielding). For each area, I will also summarize the current state of the art of the discipline and point to active research frontiers that are shaping the field today.

PLENARY LECTURE 3

Title: "Memory technologies towards a sustainable future"
 

Abstract:

Emerging memories (PCM, ReRAM, STT-MRAM, FeRAM) were initially developed as potential high-capacity replacements for DRAM and NAND Flash but ultimately failed to capture a significant market share in this role. Driven by a shift in computing paradigms towards AI and memory-centric architectures, their R&D focus has now significantly diversified.

The strategy has moved away from a one-size-fits-all approach to targeting specific, emerging application areas. This includes development for embedded systems, standalone solutions, and specialized AI hardware. Their performance is highly application-dependent, making the key differentiators not just the memory cell itself, but the associated technologies for either segmenting or integrating components. Consequently, the future developmental strategy for these technologies is no longer about outright replacement but about creating optimized, specialized solutions that meet the high-performance and low-power demands of next-generation computing, where their unique attributes provide a competitive edge. This overview examines their current status and future outlook within this evolving landscape.
