Quantum Information Laboratory

Pursuing quantum physics and applying it to information theory

Do you think the moon exists when you aren’t looking at it? The question may seem quite philosophical, but it has emerged as an extremely difficult problem in modern physics. Our laboratory is researching this question from perspectives including quantum mechanics, which are the theories about the microscopic world, and the new field of quantum information science.

This lab is for this SDG activity:

  • 産業と技術革新の基盤をつくろう
  • 質の高い教育をみんなに
  • パートナーシップで目標を達成しよう

STUDY FIELDS

  • Physics
  • Information science
  • Mathematics
  • Applied physics

FOR SOCIETY

By taking advantage of the wonders of quantum mechanics, we could achieve teleportation, unbreakable codes and ultra-supercomputers that are superior to modern ones. Perhaps we should brace ourselves for a world like the ones depicted in science fiction stories.
