Japanese–Polish Emerging Perspective Workshop

Information

Recently, quantum computing has attracted more and more attention of researchers coming from a diverse range of backgrounds connected to physics, mathematics, chemistry and engineering. Scientists around the world work on materials and devices that could utilize various effects such as spin–orbit torque, 2D superconductivity or Dirac effect. Substantial success in those efforts would result in progress comparable to the invention of transistor.

Japan has a long history of prominent research and implemented inventions related to the electronics industry. Recently, quantum innovation became a part of an official government development strategy. Poland is one of the most dynamically developing country of EU, representing strongest economy of post–soviet central–east Europe. High–technology industry and IT sector of services are two of the main focuses of development attracting big foreign investors such as Toshiba or Google. Therefore, it is not a surprise that quantum physics studies are now strongly encouraged, and much support is given by both countries' governments to do so.

The purpose of this workshop is to engage bilateral strategic partnership between Tohoku University and Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences with support of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan and AGH University of Krakow. If common core research interests, as well as internationalization possibilities are to be established, there is a great potential to create a research network based on previous success stories achieved by the support of a creative venue of Tohoku Forum for Creativity.
