Lectures on Quantum Computing by Dr. Shunji Matsuura

Dr. Shunji Matsuura will visit iTHEMS to give a series of lectures on Quantum Computing. The lectures will be held from May 13 (Mon.) through May 15 (Wed.) in Wako Campus, RIKEN. The details will be announced later.

Shunji received his Ph.D in string theory from the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics and the University of Tokyo. Previously, he was a member of the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (University of California, Santa Barbara), McGill University, Riken, YITP (Kyoto University), and the Niels Bohr Institute (University of Copenhagen). Shunji's current research focuses on the fundamental aspects of quantum-enhanced optimization, such as error correction and speedup.
