Developing next-generation leaders to spearhead research in quantum information science.

As exemplified by the recent acceleration in quantum computer research and development, quantum science and technology hold the potential to become a game-changer that will support the R&D of various scientific fields over the coming decades. With numerous national strategic initiatives currently underway, there is a strong demand to enhance research and human resource development in these related areas. To advance quantum information science and technology, it is essential to create a new paradigm by integrating quantum science with fields such as physics, informatics, mathematics, chemistry, materials science, cosmology, and life sciences. Consequently, cultivating international talent within these interdisciplinary fields is a necessity.
The “Graduate Degree Program for Quantum Information Science” (a Program for Specific Research Fields) provides high-level education and research within a world-class environment. Our mission is to develop researchers with advanced expertise and profound academic experience. We aim to nurture the next generation of leaders—young researchers capable of pioneering new frontiers, conducting world-changing research, and spearheading the future of quantum information science.
