Develop quantum algorithms geared towards quantum computer applications

The group develops quantum algorithms that should be useful in the very near future. They focus on the utilization of existing quantum computers and work in close collaboration with academia and various industries. After careful examination of diverse issues with partner corporations, the group targets problems in finance, chemistry, and AI. The group also compiles issues in quantum computing and builds theories to reduce hurdles in using them. For example, the group has developed a quantum algorithm for a division method using a parallel multiplier, an information recovery method for statistical processing of the output, and design theory for approximate quantum circuit synthesis.
