The Quantum Innovation Co-Creation Center is an organization that implements industry-academia-government-private sector collaboration in the field of nano-quantum information electronics research, which has been cultivated for more than 10 years, as one of the ways to return academic achievements to society through social collaboration as stated in the University of Tokyo : Vision 2020. The Center consists of the “University of Tokyo Corporate Lab” and the “Quantum Dot Lab”. In addition, the Center plans and promotes the Photonics Innovation Collaborative-Creation Program in order to develop and disseminate the results of outstanding human resources in research fields related to the Center.
In this centre, the quantum dot lab and the UT Corporate Labs work in close collaboration on crystal growth and process technology for semiconductor nanostructures, exploration of the physics of property control and cavity electrodynamics, nanophotonic devices and quantum information devices, as well as photonics electronics convergence technology. In particular, recent research focuses on the development of high-performance quantum dot lasers, single-photon generators, quantum bit integrated circuit technology, cryptographic communication technology, quantum dot far-infrared detection devices for sensors, and quantum dot displays, which are expected to be used in a variety of applications such as silicon photonics and laser processing.
The Center is committed to the creation of innovations based on nano-quantum technologies.
