About the University of Osaka QIQB
Founded in 1931 as one of Japan’s seven imperial universities, the University of Osaka has established itself as a world-class research institution at the forefront of scientific and technological innovation. With a comprehensive academic scope spanning the natural sciences, engineering, medical sciences, and the humanities, the university has a long-standing commitment to advancing knowledge that delivers measurable benefits to society.
In the field of quantum computing, the University of Osaka has emerged as a leader in developing and integrating advanced superconducting systems. Its Center for Quantum Information and Quantum Biology (QIQB) has recently achieved a milestone with the launch of Japan’s first entirely domestically produced superconducting quantum computer—designed, manufactured, and assembled entirely with homegrown hardware, cryogenics, and open-source software. This achievement reflects the university’s capacity for complete technology self-reliance in one of the most complex areas of modern computing.
The university’s expertise in superconducting technologies extends to both fundamental research and practical applications. By combining state-of-the-art laboratory capabilities with strong industry partnerships, the institution plays a pivotal role in advancing quantum hardware, open-source control systems, and scalable integration methods. These efforts are positioned to accelerate breakthroughs in materials science, drug discovery, environmental modeling, and machine learning.
The University of Osaka’s approach emphasizes collaboration, sustainability, and the translation of cutting-edge research into solutions with real-world impact. Its work in quantum science forms part of a broader mission as a Designated National University Corporation, driving innovation for human welfare, sustainable development, and societal transformation.
