We aim to form communities and develop human resources related to quantum computing technology. By increasing the number of individuals capable of handling quantum computers in both academia and industry, we seek to promote the field itself. Specifically, we provide opportunities for students to experience everything from basic learning to research through lectures and group work in study sessions. We also prepare environments where students can engage in research and development that address corporate needs in academia-industry co-creation settings. The increase in quantum computing professionals is essential for exploring use cases.

We are building quantum computing libraries for machine learning (AI), Monte Carlo simulations, mathematical data science, and finance, enabling faster and more accessible computations compared to traditional computers. Additionally, we are developing novel quantum algorithms and advancing Proof of Concept (PoC) using both simulators and actual devices.

Through molecular simulations using quantum computers, we aim to analyze previously unknown chemical reactions involved in processes like nitrogen fixation and photosynthesis. We are constructing the necessary libraries for these simulations and researching related algorithms. Our research themes include problem decomposition methods to solve large problems with limited qubits, introduction of multiscale and multiphysics approaches for handling complex systems, and development of algorithms and support tools anticipating fault-tolerant quantum computers.

We are building software infrastructure tools that maximize the performance of NISQ machines and fault-tolerant quantum computers, making them more accessible. Our research themes include developing quantum circuit synthesis and optimization methods, noise compensation techniques, constructing and demonstrating quantum-classical hybrid algorithms that coordinate supercomputers and quantum computers, and establishing software tools (decoding, quantum circuit synthesis) for fault-tolerant quantum computers.

We are creating an environment where quantum computers can be accessed via cloud services. This cloud environment allows transparent control of Osaka University's quantum computers, external quantum computers, supercomputers, and simulators on local PCs. By enabling access from various computers, we facilitate efficient research and development of quantum software.

We are developing quantum middleware that connects quantum hardware and quantum software, expanding usability. Since devices controlling qubits in quantum hardware cannot directly connect with quantum software, we are creating quantum middleware that controls quantum states by applying microwaves to qubits, bridging the gap between quantum software and hardware.

In collaboration with other research and development projects, we are constructing a testbed environment that can connect with various types of quantum computers, including superconducting and ion-trap systems, providing development environments for quantum software developers.
