Comment from Assistant Professor Mitarai
I’m so honored to receive this award. It’s all thanks to those who supported me. If it were not for Professor FUJII Keisuke, Professor KITAGAWA Masahiro, Associate Professor NEGORO Makoto, QunaSys CEO YAN Tennin, and all the members at QunaSys, I would have never received this kind of recognition. Taking this opportunity, I’d like to thank those involved in our joint research project as well as the investors. I will further promote research and development for practical application of quantum computers.
