Quantum Computer Science and Engineering /Exercise1

Quantum computers are machines that cleverly utilize the natural laws of quantum mechanics for computation. These natural laws of quantum mechanics are quite different from the natural worldview we have developed through our daily lives. However, the practical implementation and widespread use of quantum computers is rapidly approaching, following extensive foundational research. Therefore, the development of human resources for a quantum information society is an urgent task.
In this course, we aim to develop, apply, and evaluate quantum computing technologies, with the interplay of quantum computers as the vertical threads and artificial intelligence technologies as the horizontal threads, actively pursuing the ultimate goal of contributing to the solution of societal issues across all layers.

1. To understand the fundamental principles of quantum computing and artificial intelligence technologies necessary for research, and be able to explain them.
2. To analyze and break down problems, develop a plan, and conduct research toward achieving final goals while collaborating with colleagues.
3. To organize constructive discussions and advance research through regular and irregular meetings.
4. To present at domestic/international conferences and/or publish research papers.

Japanese(English accepted)

Organize regular lab meetings and progress-based meetings to advance research, with the goal of presenting at domestic/international conferences and/or publishing research papers.

Evaluation will be based on the attitude towards research (40%), attitude in meetings (40%), and the content and achievements of external research presentations (20%). The total score will be out of 100 points, and if the basic expectations of a professional are met, a score of 60% or higher can be achieved.

Please consult with the PI for the textbooks and reference materials necessary for the research. If possible, they can be provided by the lab. Additionally, you will be required to find research papers necessary for your work on your own.

Have a basic understanding of quantum computers, machine learning and artificial intelligence, university-level mathematics, and programming languages such as Python, and maintain an interest in all fields by staying attentive and open to new developments.

• You can ask questions during regular meetings, and appointments can also be made in advance. Communication tools are available for further consultations.
