Workshops and Conferences

Biological, Artificial, and Quantum Intelligence 2025 (BAQ2025) International Workshop

Date: March 12 - 14 2025

Location: Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), Okinawa, Japan

  • A broad platform for discussions on neural networks, neuroscience, quantum machine learning, and other topics related to intelligence and complexity.
  • Organizers:
    • Kae Nemoto (OIST)
    • Bill Munro (OIST)
    • Gerald Pao (OIST)

Quantum Innovation 2025 (QI2025)

Date: July 29 - August 2 2025

Location: Osaka, Japan

  • International Symposium on Quantum Science,Technology and Innovation 2025

QIH Summer School 2025

Date: August 31 - October 5 2025 (TBC)

Location: TBD

  • This Summer School in Japanese, organized by Quantum Technology Innovation Hubs (QIH), aims to nurture the next generation of researchers by providing Japanese university students, graduate students, and early-career researchers involved in quantum technology the opportunity to experience cutting-edge research through lectures and poster presentations, while fostering stimulating discussions among researchers.

Okinawa School in Physics: From quantum key distribution to the quantum internet (OSP2025)

Date: September 22 - October 5 2025

Location: Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), Okinawa, Japan

  • The main focus of this summer school in English is quantum communications ranging from quantum key distribution (the most advanced quantum technology) to quantum internet (the future goal of quantum platform). This fields involves security technology, cryptography, post-quantum crypto, entanglement engineering, quantum optics, quantum memory, quantum solid state physics, ion traps, quantum protocols, quantum evaluation theory, quantum networks, etc. This field has yet not attracted the same attention for quantum computation, however the future impact of the science and technology from quantum communications will be important to integrate various quantum and classical technologies. We aim to grow a research community in this field to advance these emerging science and technology.
  • Organizers
    • David Elkouss (OIST)
    • Kae Nemoto (OIST)
    • Artur Ekert (OIST)

2nd International Workshop on Quantum Information Engineering (QIE2025)

Date: October 6 - 10 2025

Location: Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), Okinawa, Japan

  • The 2nd International Workshop on Quantum Information Engineering (QIE2025) organized by JSAP’s Quantum Information Engineering Research Group and the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology. This event will bring together fifty world-class scientists & engineering, researchers and students working in the field of quantum information engineering. They will present their latest research as well as engaging in active discussions about the current state of the field and its future prospects.

Quantum Reference Frames: a QISS workshop

Date: October 13 - 17 2025

Location: Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), Okinawa, Japan

  • This workshop aims to bring together leading experts on the subject of quantum reference frames. Owing to their diverse range of applicability, a number of approaches to quantum reference frames have emerged. Our goal is to be inclusive and host representatives from many (if not all) of the approaches, as well as from the different disciplines in which such quantum frames appear.
  • The event will be in collaboration with the Quantum Information Structure of Spacetime (QISS, qiss.fr) consortium, funded by the Templeton Foundation, which harbors many of the leading experts on quantum reference frame related research and of which the Qubits and Spacetime Unit is a node.
  • Organizers:
    • Philipp Höhn (OIST)

 

OCQT Events

OCQT Seminar Series (OIST Internal)

TOSHIBA Seminar & Working Lunch Poster Session Series

  • Representatives from the TOSHIBA Corporate Research & Development Center, whose mission is to shape the future through cutting-edge technology and the social implementation of their research, visit OIST to present a seminar and engage in discussions about potential collaborations. This series offers a fantastic opportunity to strengthen collaboration between TOSHIBA and OIST, explore joint research projects, and promote interaction between researchers from both organizations. The TOSHIBA team is particularly interested in OIST's groundbreaking research and eager to explore synergies.

  • Vol.1: Organized on December 18, 2024 marking the start of this seminar series.

  • Date of Vol. 2: To be confirmed.
