Invitation for Keio and Netherlands’ Young Quantum Researchers
Part of bilateral relation building for Quantum-Photonics-Nano
The rapid digital transition requires radical high-tech solutions to keep the global social systems running in terms of security, sustainability, economy, health and others. Important parts of these solutions lie in the area of quantum technology, photonics and nanotechnology. The Netherlands and Japan are forefront runners, both in terms of contents and in terms of industry-academia collaboration.
As follow-up of the Netherlands-Japan Launch Event on Quantum-Photonics-Nano of July 2021, the Keio Quantum Computing Center (KQCC) and the Advancing Quantum Architecture (AQUA) research group at Keio University, Japan, and the Embassy in Tokyo are organizing a bilateral Netherlands-Japan workshop for young quantum researchers. You are invited to participate on Thursday 16 February 2021, 1900-2200 JST, 1100-1400 CEST. Students of all levels as well as postdoctoral researchers and research staff are encouraged to participate; the goal is to connect the researchers who will do the work, rather than the senior faculty and administrators. In the interest of maximizing interaction, a few representative researchers will be asked to give short presentations, but the bulk of the time will be in freeform breakout sessions.
The event is part of a series of bilateral events, with the purpose to deepen mutual understanding of strengths and ambitions in the Netherlands and Japan in the fields of Quantum-Photonics-Nanotechnology. Both countries have ambitions to strengthen their relations in these fields. To address the crossovers, we invite professionals from these three areas to all the events. The series of events paves the way to a (hopefully) physical Innovation Mission in 2022.

Goal
The goal of this event is to search for possible points of Japan-Netherlands collaboration on quantum computing, quantum Internet, quantum education and quantum community. This event is very broad, but we expect to follow up with more focused meetings in the future to develop project plans and proposals.
