Course Summary

Research into Quantum Computing and Quantum Internet. Theory, simulation, programming of real quantum computers, quantum networking experiments.
We also work on Quantum Education and support the domestic and international Quantum Community.

Course Description/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome

AQUA meets for two periods each week, supplemented by ad hoc "rinko" sessions, small-group learning sessions with sempai, graduate students and faculty, and regular work on the Quantum Internet and Quantum Interconnect testbed at KBIC, near Shin-Kawasaki Station. Students also are encouraged to take outside internships and courses such as APIE, and to join and participate in WIDE Project activities. Some undergraduates and most graduate students will attend international conferences each year.
This 研究会 is run as part of the RG group, so students are expected to participate in RG classes and activities as well. Students will be required to present a WIP (Work in Progress) project in their second and succeeding semesters, and TERM project before GP1. Details will be presented in the first RG meeting of the semester. See https://rg.sfc.keio.ac.jp/ for announcement of the first RG meeting.

Research Seminar Theme

Systems for quantum information processing, including quantum computing, quantum Internet, and quantum education.

Project Theme (next semester)

Our overarching goal is the creation of large-scale, distributed quantum computing systems.
