Hybrid Quantum Device Team

About the Team

The Hybrid Quantum Device Team is a research group in experimental quantum information science and technology.  We mainly explore impurity spins in gem crystals and their applications in quantum information technologies.  Check out our Research Page to find out more! 

The team is in the Science and Technology Group at OIST, located on the sub-tropical Okinawa island.
