Abstract
Moonshot Goal 6 is one of Japan's national projects aimed at establishing an FTQC (Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computer) by 2050. Prof. Kobayashi serves as one of the project managers of Moonshot Goal 6, working to develop a scalable and highly-integrated quantum bit error correction system. This invited talk first explains Moonshot Goal 6 and then focuses on the classical electronics implemented with integrated circuits to control qubits and correct errors in both room-temperature and cryogenic environments.
Bio
Kazutoshi Kobayashi received his B.E., M.E. and Ph. D. in Electronic Engineering from Kyoto University, Japan in 1991, 1993, 1999, respectively.
Starting as an Assistant Professor in 1993, he was promoted to an Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Informatics, Kyoto University in 2001, and stayed in that position until 2009. For two years during this time, he acted as an Associate Professor of VLSI Design and Education Center (VDEC) at the University of Tokyo. Since 2009, he has been a Professor at Kyoto Institute of Technology.
While in the past he focused on reconfigurable architectures utilizing device variations, his current research interest is in improving the reliability (Soft Errors, Bias Temperature Instability and Plasma Induced Damage) of current and future VLSIs. He started a research project related to gate drivers for GaN and SiC transistors since 2013. In 2022, he was nominated for one of the project managers of Moonshot Goal 6 "Realization of a fault-tolerant universal quantum computer that will revolutionize economy, industry, and security by 2050" and organized his project team named ``Development of Scalable Highly Integrated Quantum Bit Error Correction System'' abbreviated as QUBECS.
Prof. Kobayashi will be accompanied by:
- Prof. Takashi Sato, Kyoto University
- Prof. Nobukazu Takai, Kyoto Institute of Technology
- Prof. Shota Nagayama, Project Associate Professor at Keio University and Senior Researcher at Mercari, Inc.
- Prof. Takao Tomono, Project Professor at Keio University
