Okinawa Summer School in Physics: Coherent Quantum Dynamics

Okinawa School in Physics: Coherent Quantum Dynamics is a summer school related to the
field of quantum information processing technology, held annually at OIST. It has been held
first time in 4 year after CQD 2020 summer school is postponed due to COVID19.
In the past, Prof. Takeda, who was also a member of the Ohomori Lab and is now an
associate professor in the University of Tokyo, and Prof. Sogawa, now a professor of in the
University of Tokyo, were also scheduled to give talks. One of the unique features of the summer
school was that more than 80 % of the participants came from outside Japan, reflecting the
international nature of OIST, even though the summer school was held in Japan. This year, I,
Aito, was sent as a graduate student from the Ohomori Group to present my research results.

I headed to Okinawa on the 25th, arrived at Seaside House, which served as my accommodation
and lecture venue, and had an ice break and dinner to meet students coming from all
over the world. After that, I learned about the research of Prof. Dieter Meschede, Prof. Giulia
Semeghini, Prof. Serge Haroche, and other big names in cold atom region around the world. I
also heard from Prof. Kosaka, Prof. Yamamoto, and Prof. Takeuchi from Moonshot Target 6.

In addition, poster sessions and poster previews were held for a total of four hours of discussion,
as well as additional discussion during lunch and other free time. There were many
interesting results, such as the Oxford University team’s Ba ion trap development and spectroscopy
of Rydberg states using rubidium atoms.
On their days off, the students visited famous sightseeing spots in Okinawa, such as Shurijo
Castle and American Village, and went to the Umiami Aquarium on an excursion provided by
OIST.

The second week also included lectures and poster presentations, but the highlight was a live
broadcast of the Nobel Prize in Physics announcement, where a professor from the Max Plank
Institute explained about the winners from the same campus, which was a valuable experience. I
will cherish the connections I made at this camp and continue to work hard while being involved
in this field of quantum information technology.
I would like to thank Prof. Ohmori, Tomita-san, Sylvain-san, and everyone at IMS for giving
me this opportunity!
