The Future is Quantum: 20 - 22 February 2023
An emerging field of physics and engineering is quantum technology, encompassing technologies that rely on the properties of quantum mechanics. Quantum computing being one example of these technologies, representing a paradigm shift for computing technology, since it can outperform much more than existing computers. On February 21 at 13:00, in the: Svedberg salen (FD5), AlbaNova, Professor Akira Furusawa from University of Tokyo, RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing will have a presentation with the title THE FUTURE IS QUANTUM - The development of Quantum Computing.
The conference will take part at IVA Conference Centre on February 20, at Albanova on February 21 and at Chalmers on February 22. Please look at the program in the enclosed document.

THE FUTURE IS QUANTUM
The development of Quantum Computing
We did the first experiment of unconditional quantum teleportation at Caltech in 1998[1]. Then we did various related experiments like quantum teleportation network[2], teleportation of Schrödinger’s cat state[3], and deterministic quantum teleportation of photonic qubits[4].
We invented the scheme of teleportation-based quantum computing in 2013[5]. In this scheme, we can multiplex quantum information in the time domain and we can build a large-scale optical quantum computer only with four squeezers, five beam splitters, and two optical delay lines[6].
For universal quantum computing with this scheme, we need a nonlinear measurement and we invented the efficient way[7]. We recently succeeded in the realization[8].
Our present goal is to build a super quantum computer with 100GHz clock frequency and hundred cores, which can solve any problems faster than conventional computers without efficient quantum algorithms like Shor’s algorithm. Toward this goal we started to combine our optical quantum computer with 5G technologies[9].
