Description

The first international workshop on Physics Frontiers with Quantum Science and Technology will take place on March 9-10th, 2022, in a hybrid format of online and in-person participations in Koshiba hall at U. of Tokyo. With recent progress in quantum science and technologies, we aim to foster ideas to advance or develop new fields in research for high-energy physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics and condensed matter physics, empowered by quantum information technologies.

In the first workshop, the following topics are going to be discussed: 

  • Quantum-sensor applications for physics
  • Quantum-computer applications for physics
  • Developments of quantum computer and sensor technologies
  • Theoretical development in fundamental physics with quantum information

with leading experts in the fields.

Invited speakers:

  • Aaron Chou (Fermilab)
  • Robert McDermott (U. of Wisconsin Madison)
  • David Awschalom (U. of Chicago)
  • Eisuke Abe (RIKEN)
  • Hiroki Takahashi (OIST)
  • Kensuke Kobayashi (U. of Tokyo)
  • Michael Doser (CERN)
  • Christopher Eichler (ETH Zurich)
  • Kerstin Borras (DESY)
  • Alexander Romanenko (Fermilab)
