About Us

Quantum Information has emerged as an interdisciplinary field between quantum physics and information theory / computer science. It is producing quantum technologies such as quantum cryptography, quantum computer and quantum simulator, that will outperform today’s communication and information processing technologies which are based on classical physics. Quantum Biology has emerged as an interdisciplinary field between quantum information and life science since the discovery of quantum phenomena in migratory bird compasses and photosynthesis. New concepts such as “quantum entanglement” established in quantum information have become a common language bridging from black hole, microscopic quantum manybody systems to biology, and are expected to further catalyze multidisciplinary studies.

Quantum Information and Quantum Biology Division has over twenty researchers in the fields of quantum information and quantum estimation, quantum cryptography, quantum measurement and sensing, quantum simulation, quantum computation, and quantum biology, and is one of the world’s largest research hubs in the fields. The division promotes the research of these fields and multidisciplinary studies among them and quantum physics, material science, quantum chemistry, information science / computer science, and medical and life science.
