The 7th QST International Symposium: “Quantum Technologies towards Harmonious Future” at G MESSE GUNMA on July 24-25, 2024
Aims & Roles of Foundational Quantum Technology Hub
The Foundational Quantum Technology Hub, which has been recognized as one of the national Quantum Technology Innovation Hubs (QIH) in Japan, is engaged in pioneering research and development of quantum materials and devices that exhibit advanced quantum functions, and in the establishment of a stable supply base for such materials and devices, utilizing our strengths in various quantum beam facilities such as ion beams, electron beams, lasers, and synchrotron radiation, and in advanced quantum beam technologies. Based on the quantum material and device technologies developed here, we will promote the development and industrial application of quantum computing, quantum sensing, quantum communication, and information devices, and link them to the realization of a future society that harmonizes economy, society, and environment, called Society 5.0 proposed by the Japanese government.
R&D Activities of Foundational Quantum Technology Hub
The Foundational Quantum Technology Hub will solve the following research and development issues to realize a super smart society (Society 5.0), promote a productivity revolution, create new industries, sustain and improve international competitiveness, and realize a safe and secure society.
Creation of Quantum Mmaterials and Devices based on Materials Science and Quantum Beam Science (Quantum Materials and Applications Research Center)
Quantum Measurement and Sensing
To realize environmental noise tolerant quantum sensors, we will develop multi-qubit spin defect formation and high-precision control techniques using cluster ion beams, etc.
Quantum Computer
Aiming to establish a technological foundation for the realization of error-resistant quantum computers, we will develop ionic quantum state control technology and ultra-fine lithography technology to enable high-quality integration of qubits.
Spin Photonics
Aiming to create next-generation magnetic memories that can operate at ultra-high speeds and with ultra-low power consumption, we will conduct research on spin photonics technology and device creation that skillfully manipulates electron spins and photons (light) and further exploits their interactions.
Creation of New Quantum Functions Using High-Intensity and High-Quality Lasers (Kansai Institute for Photon Science)
To realize ultra-fast quantum devices by optical control, we will develop ultra-short pulsed lasers and quantum state measurement and control technologies.
Elucidation of Quantum Phenomena and Electronic States by Advanced Hard and Soft X-ray Spectroscopy (Kansai Institute for Photon Science, NanoTerasu Center)
Utilizing the high-brilliance synchrotron radiation produced at SPring-8 and NanoTerasu, we will analyze quantum phenomena, electronic states, and dynamics of quantum functional materials and devices, and develop new measurement techniques.
