Yamamoto Laboratory - From the Fundamental Theories of Quantum Mechanics to Quantum Information Technology

The Naoki Yamamoto Laboratory conducts research based on the consistent concept of "controlling quantum systems," covering a range from the fundamental theories of quantum mechanics to its ultimate application, quantum information technology.

Quantum mechanics is a theory developed to explain phenomena involving particles like electrons and atomic nuclei, which classical mechanics cannot account for. When these theories were first proposed in the early 20th century, a great debate arose over their interpretation.

Even Einstein, despite his immense contributions to establishing early quantum theory, doubted its legitimacy. He took a skeptical stance toward the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics itself, a position famously symbolized by his words, "God does not play dice."
