QIH Summer School 2025
- Date:
-
August 31 - September 5 2025 (TBC)
- Location:
-
TBD
- Description:
-
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 21 - October 3 2025
- Location:
-
Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), Okinawa, Japan
- Description:
-
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.

2nd International Workshop on Quantum Information Engineering (QIE2025)
- Date:
-
October 6 - 10 2025 (TBC)
- Location:
-
Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), Okinawa, Japan
- Description:
-
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
- Description:
-
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.
