QST is designated as a Foundational Quantum Technology Hub and a Quantum Life R&D Hub among the national Quantum Technology Innovation Hubs and promotes research and development of quantum materials, which are key materials for quantum devices, and the use of quantum life technology, which links quantum technology with life science and medicine.
- Foundational quantum technology research aims to establish technologies for quantum computing, quantum communication, quantum sensing, etc., and conducts research and development of quantum materials and devices that are indispensable for these technologies, establishing foundational quantum technologies and promoting research and development for the creation of new quantum functions through integration with state-of-the-art optical technologies. We will also build a stable supply base of the world's most advanced quantum materials and promote their practical application and social implementation in a wide range of fields.
- Quantum life science research promotes research and development to utilize quantum measurement technology and elucidate life phenomena from a quantum theoretical viewpoint. In addition to promoting applied research in the fields of medicine and drug discovery, we will develop a new academic field that will lead to the elucidation of the ultimate question for mankind, "What is life?"
