Core Courses:Fundamental Subjects in Quantum Information Science

General review of Quantum Information

Lecturer: Takashi Yamamoto

This course covers the fundamentals of quantum information theory essential for pursuing graduate-level research. After reviewing the basics of quantum mechanics, we introduce generalized methods for describing correlation, dissipation, control, and measurement in simple systems such as spins and photons. Furthermore, the course explores the properties of quantum entanglement and the implementation of optical quantum information processing.

General review of Quantum Computing

Lecturer: Keisuke Fujii

This course provides lectures on quantum computing—a new paradigm of computation based on the principles of quantum mechanics—ranging from its foundations to quantum algorithms. Students will also study quantum error correction and fault-tolerant quantum computing, with the objective of gaining a comprehensive understanding of the entire quantum computing landscape.

Elective Core Courses I:Implementation Subjects in Quantum Information Science

Quantum Control Engineering

Lecturer: Makoto Negoro

Students will learn techniques for the precision control of qubits using electromagnetic pulses. The course introduces the implementation and calibration of one- and two-qubit gates, along with accuracy-enhancing technologies such as pulse shaping and optimal control. It also covers the mechanisms of control hardware and applications in quantum sensing.

Quantum Computing Applications

Lecturer: Wataru Mizukami

Focusing on condensed matter physics and quantum chemistry—fields where the practical application of quantum computers is expected to be realized earliest—this course aims to bridge the gap between fundamental theory and real-world implementation by studying applied algorithms.

Ion Traps and Quantum Simulation

Lecturer: Kenji Toyoda

This course covers the implementation of qubits using atomic ions. It ranges from the principles of constructing quantum gates through interactions with laser light and other fields to applied research, such as quantum simulations that reproduce various physical systems.

Introduction to Quantum Software Implementation

Lecturer: Makoto Negoro

Students will study quantum software implementation from both theoretical and practical perspectives. The curriculum covers quantum machine learning, financial applications, and cloud-based quantum computing systems, fostering practical implementation skills through hands-on training using domestic quantum hardware.
