教員プロフィールへ

I am staff scientist in the quantum information science and technology unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), Okinawa, Japan. Prior to this, I worked at the National Institute of Informatics in Tokyo and at the University of Leeds, UK. My current research interests lie in quantum network, long distance quantum communication systems and quantum error correction. Besides my research I enjoy playing chess and cooking.

I have been a postdoctoral scholar in the Quantum Information Science and Technology unit at OIST since Aprile 2022. My main research topic in this unit is quantum computing on NISQ processors. I did my Ph.D. at the National Institute of Informatics (NII) under the supervision of Prof. Kae Nemoto and got a degree from SOKENDAI in March 2022. My background is in the Non-equilibrium of many body systems (Floquet and open systems) and their application. I also have experience in atomic and molecular physics, High energy physics, first-principles calculations (Configuration Interaction and Coupled Cluster), and fluid dynamics and experiments. I am looking forward to meeting new people.

I am a theoretical physicist working on quantum computing and quantum machine learning at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST). I had completed my PhD at the University of Calgary in Christoph Simon's group, where my research focused on ultracold atomic Bose-Einstein condensates, including their dynamics, interactions with light, and applications in generating spin cat states. I also have a strong background in statistical physics, which includes extensive knowledge in complex networks, random walks, percolation, the Ising model, and chimera states.

I am a postdoctoral researcher studying quantum error correction in the OIST Quantum Information and Technology Unit. I am originally from the United States (Washington DC area), but before coming to Japan I was a postdoc at INRIA in France. In 2021, I completed my doctorate in mathematics at the University of Iowa with a dissertation in knot theory, but because I needed to find a job after graduating, I have since then changed fields into quantum information. My broad research interests include questions and applications involving topology, combinatorics, and graph theory. My hobbies include scuba diving, science fiction, learning the Japanese language, and I've recently discovered yoga.

I am a quantum information theorist specialising in the study of quantum error correcting codes. My PhD began at University College London and was mostly completed in my bedroom during COVID, under the remote supervision of Prof. Dan Browne. Now free from lockdowns and the tyranny of British weather I am struggling with a broad range of error-correction related problems, including the design of more efficient decoding algorithms, methods for fault-tolerant logic and connections to anyon models and topological phases. Outside of this, my time is mostly spent sitting in traffic on the way to bouldering gyms, underperforming in bouldering gyms and sitting in traffic on the way back from bouldering gyms.

Bonjour, I'm Chaïmae from France. I recently completed my Master's degree in AI applied to medical and health data in 2023. I conducted a 6-month research at Tokyo University in the Integrated Biosciences Department, focusing on forecasting ethanol concentration using neural networks.

I joined OIST a few months ago, working in the Quantum Information Science and Technology unit. Currently, I'm a technician and potentially preparing to simultaneously complete my PhD.

My interests lie in machine learning, deep learning, and developing hybrid quantum-classical learning models. I would particularly like to explore qubit and photonic systems for quantum machine learning. Applying these algorithms in medical data analysis, such as image classification, disease diagnosis prediction, drugs discovery … could have profound implications for healthcare.

I’m enjoying learning about quantum mechanics, quantum information, and immersing myself in the world of quantum physics.

I am a Ph.D. student at SOKENDAI and studying at OIST. Before starting my Ph.D., I graduated from the Tokyo Institute of Technology with B.Sc. in physics. The research topic was theoretical condensed matter physics, especially quantum phase transitions of bosons in optical lattices. My current research project is about quantum machine learning, and my interest in this topic is what and how properties of quantum systems are suitable for quantum information processing in machine learning schemes. When free, I listen to classical music, for example, chamber music, and play the violin! My favorite composers are E. Elgar, L.V. Beethoven, and F. Schubert.

I got the master's degree at University of Mainz, where I worked on the design and evaluation of a memoryless quantum repeater schemes based on continuous variable codes and cavity-QED for long-distance quantum communication. After completing my MSc degree, I started my PhD in NII (National Institute of Informatics) and then came to OIST as a special research student. Currently, I’m interested in exploring the potential applications of the cavity-QED light-matter interaction and improving the performance of repeater schemes using bosonic codes and the trapped atoms/ions.

I am a PhD student at SOKENDAI and a special research student at OIST. I took a bachelor's degree at Keio University in the design of a compiler for quantum computers. I was at the National Institute of Informatics in Tokyo for the first couple of years of my PhD course. I worked to reduce the cost of using quantum error correction codes in optical systems. My current research interests are:

• large-scale quantum information processing systems such as fault-tolerant quantum computation
• Implementation and semantics for quantum programming languages
• Multi-core quantum computation with quantum interconnects

Outside of work, I enjoy taking astrophotography and playing Okinawan flute.

I joined the OIST PhD program in September 2022 and am currently finishing my third rotation in the Quantum Information Science and Technology Unit. I plan to join the unit as a full-time PhD student starting from September 2023. I am originally from Kolkata, India and obtained my BS-MS degree from IISER Pune in May 2022. My Master's thesis was on interpreting the AdS/CFT correspondence in terms of error-correcting codes. Prior to coming to OIST, I had mostly been interested in quantum gravity but have since shifted towards more practical problems involving quantum information and hence the unit's research is well aligned with the kind of topics I want to work on for my PhD thesis. In my free time, I like to play chess, DnD, and interactive fiction, and also practice juggling occasionally.

I am a rotation student in my third rotation. I have a bachelor's degree in mathematics and physics from Utah Valley University. My research during my undergraduate was on the topic of discrete geometry. I am interested in several topics in mathematics. I am looking forward to improving my skills in quantum information and hopefully seeing some of the interesting mathematics behind the theory. In my free time, I enjoy reading manga, playing guitar, and rock climbing. I am also interested in learning Japanese and Okinawan languages.

Hi, my name is Eddie Kelly. I am 2nd year research masters student in the Department of Theoretical Physics in Maynooth University
In Ireland. My undergraduate degree was a Joint Honours in Mathematics and Physics from University College Cork.
My main research interest revolve around quantum algorithms for solutions of partial differential equations. Outside of academia, I enjoy running, surfing and weight lifting. I am currently working on tensor network methods for construction of quantum error correcting codes.
