Over the past decade, quantum technologies have progressed at an extraordinary pace. Advances in quantum computing and quantum sensing, together with the development of fundamental quantum algorithms and a growing range of quantum applications, have brought the realization of quantum advantage increasingly close.

Building on this momentum, this workshop aims to provide a forum for discussing the current state and future directions of quantum technologies. The workshop is organized around quantum theory, quantum computation, and quantum sensing as central themes, while exploring their experimental and theoretical applications across diverse areas such as particle physics, cosmology, and nuclear physics.

By bringing together researchers from different communities and highlighting forward-looking ideas as well as state-of-the-art quantum technologies and computational techniques, the workshop seeks to foster discussions on new opportunities, including novel quantum error-correction strategies, applications to fault-tolerant quantum computing, and advanced quantum sensing enabled by cutting-edge quantum algorithms.

Invited Speakers :

  • Yutaro Iiyama (ICEPP, UTokyo)
  • Yoshiro Takahashi (Kyoto U.)
  • Takaaki Takenaka (NTT)
  • Shion Chen (Kyoto U.)
  • Tatsumi Nitta (KEK QUP)
  • Atsushi Noguchi (UTokyo)
  • Keisuke Fujii (Kyoto U.)
  • Masazumi Honda (RIKEN)
  • Seiji Yunoki (RIKEN)
  • Nobuyuki Yoshioka (ICEPP, UTokyo)

(Japanese alphabetical order)

 Those who want to present talk or poster are asked to submit via the “Call for Abstracts” page (submission deadline is extended to April 10, 2026).

Participation registration is open now. The registration will be open until April 30, 2026.

Note: We plan to organize this workshop in a "mixed" language mode, i.e, the presentation slides will be prepared in English, while the oral talk and discussion will be given in Japanese.
