Director, the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing
Yasu Nakamura started his research career at NEC Fundamental Research Laboratories in 1992, where he demonstrated the first coherent manipulation of a superconducting qubit in 1999 and met quantum information science. He also spent a year as a Visiting Researcher at TU Delft from 2001 to 2002. Since 2012, he has been a Professor at The University of Tokyo. He has also been leading his research team at RIKEN since 2014. He is currently the Director of the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and the Project Leader of the MEXT Q-LEAP Flagship project on Superconducting Quantum Computing.
It has been 25 years since the first coherent manipulation of a superconducting qubit and 20 years since the demonstration of circuit QED. Following the breakthroughs, we have seen tremendous progress towards realizing quantum computing. However, many issues remain to overcome before constructing large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers. At RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing (RQC) and RIKEN RQC-Fujitsu Collaboration Center, we develop quantum computing systems with higher gate and readout fidelities.
