SIP3quantum

Promoting Application of Advanced Quantum Technologies to Social Challenges

Cross-ministerial Strategic Innovation Promotion Program (SIP) is a national project in which the Council for Science, Technology and Innovation budgets beyond the boundaries of ministries and fields to promote initiatives from basic research to exit (practical application and commercialization). 

The third term of the SIP, " Promoting Application of Advanced Quantum Technologies to Social Challenges " aims to accelerate the progress of Society 5.0 by extending the range of users of quantum technology as well as promoting the use of quantum technology through social challenges by cutting-edge engineers.

Targets to be achieved during the SIP term for social implementation

In this project, we will create " specific examples for solving social and industrial problems" by improving the performance of computing, sensing, and communications through an integration of quantum and classical technologies(hybrid). These creations will continuously attract human resources and investments during and beyond the SIP term, thereby will establish a firm foundation of R&D, social investment,human resource development,and recruiting in the quantum technology field. We target paving a way to achieve the above-mentioned mission through our activities.
