Research Activities

Current information and communication technology relies on macroscopic and classical physical quantities, such as the voltage or frequency of electric fields. However, classical technologies are approaching their fundamental limits of information density and processing speed. As a promising alternative, quantum information and communication technology, which uses microscopic, quantum-mechanical quantities to carry information, is expected to overcome these limitations. Our goal is to develop quantum information processing devices and systems using photonic integrated circuits, aiming to establish cutting-edge technologies that will form the foundation of future quantum information systems.
