About the Workshop
Quantum Information Processing (QIP) leverages the principles of quantum mechanics—superposition, entanglement, and measurement—to encode, process, and transmit information in ways that classical systems cannot achieve. By overcoming the limitations of conventional digital architectures, QIP promises transformative advances in computing, communication, and sensing.
Silicon-based microelectronics, powered by complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology, has driven decades of innovation, but further miniaturization of transistors is approaching fundamental limits. Yet, the vast industrial expertise in high-volume semiconductor fabrication provides an unprecedented opportunity: to merge these mature processes with quantum functionalities and establish solid-state platforms as a scalable basis for quantum technologies.
Solid-state QIP has therefore become one of the most dynamic areas of Quantum Science and Technology. Progress is being made across a spectrum of approaches, including:
- Superconducting Qubits,
- Semiconductor Spin Qubits,
- Defect- and Dopant-Based Spin Qubits,
- Hybrid Architectures.
Together, these solid-state platforms are advancing toward robust elementary operations, quantum error correction, on-chip networking, and integration with classical control electronics.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together leading scientists and emerging researchers from across these diverse approaches. By sharing recent results, identifying common challenges—such as decoherence, materials engineering, and scalable integration—and exploring new ideas, we aim to foster collaborations that will drive the next phase of solid-state quantum information processing. The program will feature invited and contributed talks, as well as poster presentations, providing ample opportunities for both established and early-career researchers to engage, exchange insights, and build new connections.

Code of Conduct
Purpose
To ensure that all participants have a clear understanding of the behavior that is expected of them.
Code of Conduct
We are committed to making our workshops (workshop(s) organized by OIST, hereinafter “our workshop(s)”) an inclusive space for sharing ideas and knowledge. We will not tolerate disrespectful communication, discrimination, harassment, or bullying in any form. As such, all participants attending our workshops are required to comply with this Code of Conduct. To provide all participants the opportunity to benefit from our workshops, we at OIST are dedicated to a positive, safe and harassment-free experience. Harassment in any form is specifically prohibited.
What is Harassment?
Harassment involves continued antisocial or unreasonable actions that violate a reasonable person’s personal rights and/or dignity and cause mental suffering, and thus worsen the person’s environment or make him/her anxious about participation. Behavior that is acceptable to one person may not be acceptable to another, so we ask that you use discretion to be sure that respect is communicated. Harassment intended in a joking manner nevertheless constitutes unacceptable behavior. Speech that is not welcomed or that is personally offensive, whether it is based on gender, age, sexual orientation, mental or physical disability, ethnicity, national origin, religion etc. will not be tolerated.
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please bring this to the immediate attention of the organizers. If you wish to report an issue concerning the organizers, you can contact the Conference and Workshop Section directly and submit a confidential report by sending an email to workshop-codeofconduct@oist.jp or submitting a report through the webform.
All complaints will be taken seriously and responded to by the Dean of Research promptly. Confidentiality will be maintained to the extent that it does not compromise the rights of others. Individuals found in breach of this Code of Conduct will be dismissed from the workshop immediately. Retaliation for reporting harassment is also a violation of Code of Conduct, as is reporting an incident in bad faith.
Be Aware of Travel Arrangement Scam!
Workshop organizers and invited speakers are often contacted by number of "travel agencies" to which OIST is not related, based on the publicly available information on the web.
Please refrain from replying to those agencies unless OIST organizers or secretariat have explicitly contacted you beforehand.
When in doubt, please send a copy of any email communication to OIST Conference and Workshop Section workshop@oist.jp
