R&D theme structure of the project

Each research direction and their teams are shown in the figure below. The most suitable proponents were brought together from a wide range of fields in industry and academia. In the execution of each proposal, it is anticipated that development will proceed while the respective constraints, progress, and results will strongly influence each other, so we did not necessarily assign a single investigator for each item independently, but rather organized multiple development units, which will proceed with collaborative R&D as necessary.
The Cold-Atom Unit, which covers Proposals 1-3, brings together Japan's top researchers in cold-atom experiments from the Institute for Molecular Science, Kyoto University, and RIKEN. In the Hardware Development Unit, as part of our close collaboration between industry and academia, we are joined by a team from Hitachi, Ltd. and ColdQuanta, Inc.d.b.a.Infleqtion led by a project investigator, and we collaborate with Hamamatsu Photonics. The Laser Development Unit is a joint team of a top laser development researcher and a cold-atom experimentalist. For the development of the quantum error detection and correction architecture, the team will work closely with Keisuke Fujii of the Koashi Project.
