Hikaru Yokomori (1st-year Master's student at the Graduate School of Media and Governance at the time of the award), a member of Professor Rodney Van Meter's laboratory in the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies, received the "Poster Presentation Award" in the Quantum Cryptography and Communication category at Quantum Innovation 2025.
Quantum Innovation is an annual international conference held as a forum for sharing the latest research results in the field of quantum technology and for interaction among researchers from industry, academia, and government. Quantum Innovation 2025, held in Osaka, was attended by many researchers from Japan and abroad, and there were 116 applications for poster presentations.
Mr. Yokomori presented the results of demonstrating "Distimation," a new error estimation method for quantum networks, on a superconducting quantum computer under the title "Distimation's Real-world Performance on a Superconducting Quantum Computer." He was recognized for achieving noise estimation, which was previously difficult, through a distillation-based method, contributing to the future practical application of quantum communication networks.
