Accelerating Japan-U.S. Cooperation in Quantum Technologies

This event will take place from 9:30 am – 2:30 pm JST, on October 30 (8:30 pm, October 29 – 1:30 am, October 30 ET) at the International House of Japan. Online attendees must pre-register to join via this link: https://keio-univ.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_P_RwqYeURvqgx8sW4oEbxA

In-person attendance requests subject to approval.

The CSIS Renewing American Innovation program and the Keio University Quantum Computing Center, in cooperation with the Center of Innovation for Sustainable Quantum AI (SQAI), Quantum STrategic industry Alliance for Revolution (Q-STAR), and Cabinet Office, Government of Japan, will host and co-organize a half-day symposium to understand the variety of partnerships and investments supporting the growth of Japan's quantum innovation ecosystem.

This event draws together the US and Japan’s leading research universities and national laboratories, along with government agencies, public-private partnerships, and industry participants, to explore the US and Japan’s assets and capabilities and the challenges and opportunities for cooperation. Speakers will describe the diverse set of efforts underway to accelerate the growth of the quantum innovation ecosystems in Japan and the United States.

This symposium is a key element of a review of the U.S. Quantum Opportunity being undertaken by the Renewing American Innovation program (RAI) at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). Launched with the support of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and in cooperation with the Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C), the study is identifying policies to support and grow a competitive quantum industry that is both grounded in the United States and connected with leading quantum companies and organizations abroad. The study is exploring cooperative approaches to accelerate U.S.-based quantum technology development and deployment, identifying means to address engineering and technology challenges to the development of utility-scale quantum technology systems, and seeking paths to encourage mutually beneficial collaboration in quantum among like-minded countries.

This event is made possible in part by support from the National Institute of Standards and Technology via SRI International.
