Hi, I'm Ryo Hanai, and this is my last day in the University of Chicago.
As I had written here in the past, I have succeeded in solving the gap equation for a non-equilibrium, pumped and decayed system, where I could discuss where the system turns into superfluids. To know more about what is going on in this system, it is an important task to investigate what would happen when the system is hit by a little hammer; how the system would excite.
It would be an enormous numeric work, so the construction of the algorithm to calculate this fast enough would be an important issue. This week, I was working on speeding up my program to prepare for the calculation I would do, and it looks like it's working pretty well.
===========================================================
This internship became a really, really fruitful experience for me. I was just astonished at Professor Peter Littlewood, who were my supervisor here in Chicago, of how wide his knowledge was, and at the same time, how deep his understudying was. I cannot tell how many time he mentioned "hey, this might relate to that physics" which were always sharp and elegant. Since there are not so many people in the world that have deep knowledge of both many-body physics and non-equilibrium physics, he was a perfect man to work with.
Playing around with the grad-students here were a great fun for me. Although I could only understand 1 out of 10 conversations, I could still tell that physics people are physics people, no matter which country you live in. I'd like to especially thank Alex, who is also a grad-student that works for Peter, for helping me, having fruitful discussions with me, and also, chatting useless and meaningless things with me. It was really fun working with him.
I had a great time at I-House, my accommodation too, where they gave lots of events to interact with each other. It was a good time just sitting around at a dining room and chatting with my friends. I also should thank the Japanese friends I got to know here in Chicago, for everything they did to help me. I hope I can see them back in Japan.
At last, I would like to thank all the people that were in charge of this ITP internship program, and everyone who supported me during the visit.

And my last picture for this blog is a million-dollar view of Chicago taken from John Hancock Center.
