Summary
Quantum computing is the device that enables super efficient computation, using the quantum properties. Particular target is the problem of integer factorization or optimization, which usually requires exponentially large computational time to solve and thus cannot be attacked via conventional algorithms. Quantum computing is expected to offer efficient solutions for those problems. The goal of Keio quantum computing center is to identify important problems appearing industry and society that might be tractable via quantum computing, and then provide hardware and software for solving those problems, with the support from the government and industries.
