教員プロフィールへ

I am staff scientist in the quantum information science and technology unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), Okinawa, Japan. Prior to this, I worked at the National Institute of Informatics in Tokyo and at the University of Leeds, UK. My current research interests lie in quantum network, long distance quantum communication systems and quantum error correction. Besides my research I enjoy playing chess and cooking.

I have been a postdoctoral scholar in the Quantum Information Science and Technology unit at OIST since Aprile 2022. My main research topic in this unit is quantum computing on NISQ processors. I did my Ph.D. at the National Institute of Informatics (NII) under the supervision of Prof. Kae Nemoto and got a degree from SOKENDAI in March 2022. My background is in the Non-equilibrium of many body systems (Floquet and open systems) and their application. I also have experience in atomic and molecular physics, High energy physics, first-principles calculations (Configuration Interaction and Coupled Cluster), and fluid dynamics and experiments. I am looking forward to meeting new people.

I am a postdoctoral researcher studying quantum error correction in the OIST Quantum Information and Technology Unit. I am originally from the United States (Washington DC area), but before coming to Japan I was a postdoc at INRIA in France. In 2021, I completed my doctorate in mathematics at the University of Iowa with a dissertation in knot theory, but because I needed to find a job after graduating, I have since then changed fields into quantum information. My broad research interests include questions and applications involving topology, combinatorics, and graph theory. My hobbies include scuba diving, science fiction, learning the Japanese language, and I've recently discovered yoga.

I am from China and currently a postdoctoral researcher in our unit. I received my Ph.D. in Mathematics from Tsinghua University in 2024. My early research focused on mathematical physics, but over the past three years, I’ve been working in quantum information, particularly on Bell nonlocality and device-independent quantum information processing. I'm especially interested in the foundational aspects of quantum information from a mathematical perspective, while remaining open to exploring other areas in the field. Outside of research, I enjoy playing guitar—especially Japanese fingerstyle pieces—and watching live concerts. I'm always happy to chat about science or anything else!

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the group. I did my PhD at Humboldt University in Berlin, finishing in 2024. My background is in theoretical quantum optics, and I am especially interested in nonclassical states of light in integrated photonics. Outside of work, I enjoy playing football, beach volleyball, and going for a run.

Bonjour, I'm Chaïmae from France. I recently completed my Master's degree in AI applied to medical and health data in 2023. I conducted a 6-month research at Tokyo University in the Integrated Biosciences Department, focusing on forecasting ethanol concentration using neural networks.

I joined OIST a few months ago, working in the Quantum Information Science and Technology unit. Currently, I'm a technician and potentially preparing to simultaneously complete my PhD.

My interests lie in machine learning, deep learning, and developing hybrid quantum-classical learning models. I would particularly like to explore qubit and photonic systems for quantum machine learning. Applying these algorithms in medical data analysis, such as image classification, disease diagnosis prediction, drugs discovery … could have profound implications for healthcare.

I’m enjoying learning about quantum mechanics, quantum information, and immersing myself in the world of quantum physics.

I am a Ph.D. student at SOKENDAI and studying at OIST. Before starting my Ph.D., I graduated from the Tokyo Institute of Technology with B.Sc. in physics. The research topic was theoretical condensed matter physics, especially quantum phase transitions of bosons in optical lattices. My current research project is about quantum machine learning, and my interest in this topic is what and how properties of quantum systems are suitable for quantum information processing in machine learning schemes. When free, I listen to classical music, for example, chamber music, and play the violin! My favorite composers are E. Elgar, L.V. Beethoven, and F. Schubert.

I joined the OIST PhD program in September 2022 and am currently finishing my third rotation in the Quantum Information Science and Technology Unit. I plan to join the unit as a full-time PhD student starting from September 2023. I am originally from Kolkata, India and obtained my BS-MS degree from IISER Pune in May 2022. My Master's thesis was on interpreting the AdS/CFT correspondence in terms of error-correcting codes. Prior to coming to OIST, I had mostly been interested in quantum gravity but have since shifted towards more practical problems involving quantum information and hence the unit's research is well aligned with the kind of topics I want to work on for my PhD thesis. In my free time, I like to play chess, DnD, and interactive fiction, and also practice juggling occasionally.

I am a lab rotation student starting in September 2025. During my rotation, my main research topic is quantum networks, specifically investigating quantum synchronization. I completed my BS-MS dual degree in Physics at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), where my background was in the Quantum Speed Limit (QSL) and its applications. I am very curious to learn more about a wide range of topics and look forward to meeting everyone in the unit.

I am a Ph.D. student in the Institute of Computer and Communication Engineering at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Taiwan. In June 2025, I joined the Quantum Information Science and Technology Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), Japan, as a Visiting Research Student. My research interests include convex optimization, signal processing, hyperspectral imaging, and quantum computing. During my visit, I plan to explore the integration of classical and quantum neural networks, with a focus on addressing the fundamental problem in hyperspectral images known as blind source separation. My hobbies include playing the guitar, practicing kendama, and jogging (I have completed 2 half marathons). I am also a fan of Harry Potter

Hi! I’m a PhD student from Brazil, currently spending some time at OIST.

My background is in condensed matter physics, and I’ve been working with quantum information tools, especially using entanglement to study quantum phase transitions in one-dimensional systems.

Right now, I’m focusing on learning more about quantum information, and I’m really excited about all the new things I’m discovering in this area.

Outside of research, I enjoy going to the gym, boxing, listening to music, and painting in my free time.
