QUantum Internet Center at Keio (QUICK)
Summary
At our center, we aim to realize the quantum internet and its key components, such as distributed quantum information processing systems and quantum networks, and further aim for their smooth implementation into society. To this end, we are engaged in foundational research and development of quantum computer networks and distributed quantum information processing, as well as preparing testbed environments for the development of prototypes. Additionally, we undertake a variety of research and activities that contribute to the creation of a future society enabled by quantum internet technology, including ELSI (Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications) and ecosystem construction. Achieving this goal requires collaboration across multiple organizations spanning industry, academia, and government. As the de facto Keio branch of the Quantum Internet Task Force (https://qitf.org/), we actively collaborate with QITF to promote such cross-organizational collaboration.
