Materials for solid-state qubits and quantum hardware
We aim to develop solid-state materials for quantum computers. Qubits used in quantum computers require high-quality materials with significantly reduced defects and impurities. In addition to high-quality materials, our group explores interface engineering and nano-fabrication techniques to enhance quantum control and maximize quantum coherence. Beyond qubits, we also try to incorporate new materials and components to improve the performance of the entire quantum hardware.
Research contents
With the rapid progress of quantum computers, basic operation has been demonstrated at small to medium scales. However, there are many obstacles that need to be overcome to fully utilize the potential of quantum computers, such as nontrivial decoherence and scale-up. In order to solve these problems, our group aims to develop various material systems by utilizing interface engineering technology, structural and chemical analysis, micro- and nano-processing technology, and electrical characterization.
