We advance the research and deveolpment of the new approaches to innovate science in the fields of optics, quantum engineering, nano-technology, bio-technology and human brain information technology, and apply them to information and communications technologies in the future.
We do this by applying nano-fabrication techniques to advanced photo-electronic functional materials, such as organic electro-optic materials as well as superconducting materials.
In the Terahertz and Millimeter wave ICT Laboratory, we are conducting R&D’s on ultrahigh-speed device and ultrafast signal measurement technologies in the Terahertz and Millimeter region (so-called unexplored frequency range) in order to realize terahertz wireless technologies that can be used in future ultrahigh-speed communications and such applications as industry, agriculture and medicine.
We study quantum info-communications technology, which can realize cryptography that can never be eavesdropped in principle, and the ultimately low-power and high-capacity communication, by directly controlling the quantum mechanical properties of light. We aim at finding as many dreams of ICT seen from the quantum world as possible, realizing and utilizing them for our future society.
The Nano ICT Research Laboratory aims to establish innovative photo control technologies that will lead to breakthroughs in the performance of photo detection, photo modulation, switching speed, as well as power consumption. We do this by applying nano-fabrication techniques to advanced photo-electronic functional materials, such as organic electro-optic materials as well as superconducting materials.
The Bio-ICT Laboratory aim to develop new communication and information technologies base upon a new concept of information through the functional analysis of cells and biological macromolecules.
Understanding the neural mechanisms involved in information processing in the human brain is key to improving the quality of “human-to-human communication”.
