Quantum Division

Beyond Computation:
Quantum Software Meets Quantum-HPC

In the “quantum” division, we will advance cutting-edge research in quantum software, quantum-enabled scientific applications, and the integration of quantum computing with supercomputing (Quantum-HPC). Through a university-wide interdisciplinary research framework, we aim to establish a globally competitive next-generation computing infrastructure. In particular, we seek to establish a new computing paradigm that seamlessly integrates quantum computing and supercomputing, to systematize quantum algorithms and quantum software, and ultimately to realize quantum advantage and accelerate the deployment of quantum technologies in real-world applications.
Through close collaboration with the research institutes and industrial partners located in Tsukuba-city, we will promote fundamental research on quantum technologies and Quantum-HPC, as well as their applications to frontier scientific domains including materials science, chemistry, and information science. Furthermore, we will establish methodologies for effectively utilizing quantum computing to advance scientific discovery and address societal challenges. By doing so, we will build a continuous research and innovation ecosystem that spans fundamental research, technology transfer, and industrial deployment, thereby establishing ourselves as a world-leading international research hub.
In addition, we will foster the next generation of researchers and engineers who possess interdisciplinary expertise spanning quantum information science, computational science, and supercomputing. By cultivating an active research and technical community capable of integrating these disciplines, we aim to nurture globally competitive talent that will lead future advances in quantum computing and Quantum-HPC.
