Future Quantum Natives x Moonshot Researchers” meet up

MS Cold-atom QC PJ Researchers Visit Sagamihara Secondary School

On Wednesday, July 10, an event related to Moonshot Goal 6 was held within the third grade science class at Kanagawa Prefectural Sagamihara Secondary School. Researchers from the Cold-atom QC PJ gave an easy-to-understand explanation of their research results on cold-atom quantum computers, which are at the forefront of quantum technology. The goal of this visit was to encourage children’s interest in quantum technology, to provide them with new learning and perspectives, and to contribute to activities to gain public understanding and support for the national project.
