Although quantum science and technology are advancing rapidly, we still lack a deep understanding of their basic principles. Our Fundamental Quantum Science Program focuses on four key areas—basic physics and chemistry, mathematics, quantum information, and nonequilibrium science—returning to the foundations of quantum science and advancing research from a mid- to long-term perspective.

As core measures, we are not only promoting research and human resource exchange through workshops, visitor programs, and seminars featuring top-class researchers but are also fostering collaboration and intellectual exchanges.

To support these efforts, we are building an organizational structure that is both flexible and solid, going beyond traditional organizational forms. Ultimately, our goal is to create a world-class fundamental quantum science research center, form a hub for brain circulation, and foster personnel for fundamental quantum science research.

Deputy Director: Shinya Aoki (D.Sc.), Masahito Ueda (D.Sc.), Norio Kawakami (D.Eng.)
