“Atomic Qubits: Neutral atoms and Trapped ions Workshop” was held at Osaka University.

“Atomic Qubits: Neutral atoms and Trapped ions” was held as an internal workshop of MS Proposal 6 at Toyonaka Campus, Osaka University from August 7 to 9. Nineteen members attended from Omori PJ: PI Fukuhara, PI Takahashi, PI Tomita, PI Sylvain, and PI Omori.

Last year, the Institute for Molecular Science was the host, and the main focus was on technical lectures limited to optical tweezers. This year, however, the scope was expanded to include neutral atoms and trapped ions in general, and members of the ion trapping group of MS6 at Osaka University also joined.

In addition, two researchers from Prof. Manuel Endres’ group at California Institute of Technology and Prof. Adam Kaufman’s group at the University of Colorado were invited to discuss the development of cooled atom quantum computers in the United States.
