When you hear about quantum computers, many people think, "I've heard of them, but I can't imagine them at all" or "I don't know what they are." If you like science fiction, you might think of teleportation and warp from the word quantum teleportation.
The background to the frequent coverage of quantum computers in the news these days is the acceleration of research and development at home and abroad.Under the government's integrated innovation strategy, eight core bases for research and development of quantum technology have been established, and a system for mutual cooperation has been established.
At the moment, it has not reached the stage of use for actual business, but now that it can be used with cloud services, optimization of parts distribution (business improvement)※ 1And optimization of customer experience on EC site (matching by image recognition and natural language processing)※ 2We have also started an experimental project that utilizes quantum computers.
Akira Furusawa, a professor at the Graduate School of Engineering, the University of Tokyo, will be on the stage at the "Spatial Information Symposium 2021" at the forefront of research and development of such quantum computers.
In the lecture, Mr. Furusawa, who was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physics for the success of the experiment by his own method, will introduce his own project contents and listen to the episodes leading up to the success of the experiment.
This content is for those who have some understanding of the theory of quantum computers and are interested in quantum technology, but even for those who are interested in computers and IT technology, it is a unique opportunity to get a glimpse of cutting-edge technology, so don't miss it. Without.
Mr. Furusawa's keynote speech will be delivered live for about 50 minutes.We also have time to answer your questions on the spot, so please feel free to ask.

Postscript from the organizer
When I visited Professor Furusawa's laboratory for greetings the other day, he introduced me to the book he wrote.Photon computing is a completely unknown field for me, so I will read the teacher's book to prepare for it.
Don't be conscious of the word quantum.Whatever the theory, let's start with the feeling of accepting, "Actually, this is what it is."
