【Abstract】

Strategic investments in quantum technology are being made around the world to strengthen competitiveness. In Japan, the quantum technology innovation strategy has been announced. A technology roadmap aimed at social implementation has been published and eight quantum technology innovation hubs have been established as the core of promotion. The evolution of quantum technology will require wide-ranging collaboration with cutting-edge technologies such as nanotechnology. In this lecture, we will introduce the state of the art of quantum technology, the quantum technology innovation strategy and the aim and activities of the quantum technology innovation hubs and look ahead to the future for innovation creation.

【Abstract】

Based on the major developments in biology and quantum science and technology, the National Institute for Quantum Science and Technology (QST) has launched the Institute for Quantum Life Science in 2019 in order to combine quantum science and life science. In 2020, the Institute for Quantum Life Science established the collaborating research team between universities, national institutes, and companies to start the MEXT Quantum Leap Flagship Program (Q-LEAP) "Innovations in Medicine and Life Sciences through Development of Quantum Life Technology", developing Biological Nano Quantum Sensors, Quantum Technology Based MRI/NMR, and Quantum Biology and Biotechnology. Full-scale research and development of quantum life science has been launched, with researchers from quantum science and technology to biology and medicine conducting close collaboration. Here, I would like to introduce the current research activities of quantum life science that is being promoted in the MEXT Q-LEAP project.
