[Quantum Technology] Creation of an innovative quantum technology platform based on the advanced control of quantum states

Strategic Objective

Development of new material properties and frontier of information sciences based on the advanced control of quantum states

Research Supervisor


Yasuhiko Arakawa (Specially Appointed Professor, Institute for Nano Quantum Information Electronics, The University of Tokyo)

Overview

The objective of this research area is to create an innovative quantum technology platform that contributes to the development of society by exploring physics and technologies for high-level control of the quantum state on the basis of photonics, solid state science, nanostructure/materials science, and informatics to pioneer discoveries in the frontier of quantum science. We also aim at realizing new quantum information processing and element/system functions that are superior to prior technologies in terms of performance. This research area focuses on the following two pillars in promoting research and development: “creation of new sources” to explore physics for quantum state control and develop pertinent technologies and “creation of innovative system functions” to provide quantum technologies for social and industrial innovation in the future.
Specific research examples include high-level state control for various quantum systems in quantum dots and superconductors and subsequent development into quantum information processing technologies, the realization of new quantum-convergent devices or high-sensitivity sensors by highly controlled quantum systems, and the development of high-precision measurement technologies that utilize macroscopic quantum effects or quantum optics. In the future, we aim to materialize innovative quantum system functions and their integration for the future social platform.
