Overview
Associate Professor OGAWA Kazuhisa of UOsaka will provide an easy-to-understand introduction to the principles and key features of quantum computers, even for those with no prior knowledge of the subject.
The explanation and Q&A session will take about 60 minutes.
After the explanation, participants have the opportunity to take part in a tour of a quantum computer equipped with a dilution refrigerator and control systems, facilities that are not usually accessible to the public. Participants will be divided into four groups, with each group spending approximately 15 minutes touring the superconducting quantum computer.
We welcome everyone, including those with no prior experience or knowledge of quantum computing.
Note: Admission tickets for the tour will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis at the entrance to the explanation. Ticket distribution and registration will end once the maximum number of participants has been reached.
