The 10th QST International Symposium on "Quantum Sensing and Frontier Sciences for Future Society (Q-FUTURE 2026)" Flyer [PDFファイル／4.47MB]
Date ：November 17-19 , 2026
Venue： Ochanomizu Sola City, located in the center of Tokyo, Japan
This symposium will focus on cutting-edge areas such as quantum sensing, quantum materials, and quantum life science, and will bring together researchers from Japan and abroad, as well as representatives from industry and policymaking communities . The purpose of the symposium is to share perspectives on the future envisioned through advances in quantum technologies.
In recent years, these quantum technology fields have experienced rapid progress toward social implementation, including applications such as enhanced medical diagnostics and highly precise environmental monitoring. In Japan, efforts to strengthen research infrastructure, encompassing international collaboration, have been steadily advancing through national initiatives such as the Adopting Sustainable Partnerships for Innovative Research Ecosystem (ASPIRE), the Quantum Leap Flagship Program (Q-LEAP), the Cross-ministerial Strategic Innovation Promotion Program (SIP), and the programs for Bridging the gap between R&d and the IDeal society (society 5.0) and Generating Economic and social value (BRIDGE).
Marking the milestone 10th edition of the symposium, this year’s main theme is “Challenges toward the Social Implementation of Quantum Technologies and the Deepening of International Collaboration ”. Through this theme, we aim to foster multifaceted discussions on the new values and possibilities brought about by quantum technology. We also focus on the development of early-career researchers, and through dedicated sessions and exchange programs, we aim to contribute to the growth and network formation of human resources who will lead the field of quantum technology in the future.
