Outline
We study novel devices and architectures based on quantum mechanics. Recently, we are getting ready to control precisely in a quantum limit a single elementary excitation in various solid-state systems. For example, single excitation of surface plasmon polariton modes on the superconducting electrode can be an information carrier of quantum states |0> and |1>, and it is called a quantum bit. We integrate these physical systems to make them into information processing systems.
Research Theme (Past and Current)
・Research on the integration of superconducting computers
