量子情報科学は、世界的に研究資金が投入され、急速に研究開発が進んでいる分野です。この分野では今、理論研究の能力を十分に身につけた若い研究者が強く求められています。私たちのグループでは、こうした研究者を育成し、キャリアの成功を全力でサポートします。

私たちのグループでは、挑戦しがいのある理論的課題に熱心に取り組み、インパクトのある科学的成果を出すためにコミットし、量子情報科学の発展に長期的に貢献したいという意欲的な学生を募集しています。またオーストリア、イギリス、アメリカ、カナダ、韓国、中国をはじめとする世界的な研究機関とも共同研究を行っており、こうした国際的な研究プロジェクトに携わることも推進しています。

• 私たちのグループは、東京大学大学院情報理工学系研究科コンピュータ科学専攻の修士課程および博士課程を通じて、日本国内外からの大学院生を受け入れています。コンピュータ科学に関する基礎事項を含む内容の入学試験を受験し、合格できることが期待されます。入学試験の詳細については、専攻のウェブページと研究科のウェブページをご確認ください。

• 東京大学および私たちのグループは、学生に対して様々な経済的支援の機会を提供しています。一方で、フルの経済的支援を確保していない場合でも私たちのグループに入ることは可能です。こうした理由から、入学試験に合格しただけではフルの経済的支援が自動的に全員に保証されるわけではなく、経済的支援を得るには入学試験とは別に設けられた申請手続きが必要となります。大学の経済的支援に関する情報は、学生支援制度のページをご覧ください。こうした制度に加えて私たちのグループからも、研究資金の状況によって経済的支援ができる可能性があり、またスカラーシップやフェローシップへの申請に関してもサポートします。

• 私たちのグループへの大学院入進学をお考えの方は、ぜひお気軽に Contact からご連絡ください。その際、私たちの研究について学んだ内容をもとに、経歴（curriculum vitae; CV）とご自身の研究関心を簡単にまとめてお知らせください。最も良い選択肢について一緒にご相談できれば幸いです。

Quantum information science is a rapidly growing field, actively funded by governments worldwide, and there is a high demand for young scientists with strong theoretical backgrounds. We provide full support in training such researchers and assisting them in building successful careers. 

We seek highly motivated students who are eager to tackle fundamental theoretical challenges, committed to making impactful scientific achievements, and dedicated to advancing quantum science and technology over the long term. We collaborate with leading research institutes in Austria, the UK, the US, Canada, South Korea, China, and beyond, and we also encourage students to engage in these international research efforts.

• We accept graduate students from Japan and abroad through Master’s and Doctoral Programs at the Department of Computer Science, Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, The University of Tokyo. Applicants are expected to be able to take and pass the entrance exam, which covers the basics of computer science. Details of the admissions process can be found on the department's webpage and the school’s webpage.

• The university and our group offer various financial support opportunities for students; at the same time, the university permits students to join our group even without securing full financial support. Because of this, passing the entrance exam alone does not automatically guarantee full financial support, and securing such support requires separate applications that are not fully integrated into the admissions process. Information on the university’s financial support can be found on Financial Support for Students. Additionally, funding opportunities within our group may be available depending on our funding situation, and we also assist students in applying for scholarships and fellowships.

• For students from abroad, various additional funding options, such as the Japanese Government (MEXT) Scholarship, are available, with details provided on Study in Japan. Domestic scholarships in each student’s home country may also be viable funding options.  Obtaining a scholarship is not mandatory for self-funded students.

• Students from abroad, whether supported by the Japanese Government (MEXT) Scholarship or self-funded, can also join us as postgraduate international research students, even if additional preparation time is needed for the entrance exam. This is a non-degree program designed for those preparing for the entrance exam for the Master’s and Doctoral Programs, typically for one year, with details available on the school's webpage. During this period, postgraduate international research students can also learn Japanese to support their daily lives. However, acceptance into this program does not automatically guarantee admission to a Master’s or Doctoral Program, as passing the entrance exam is still required. We also assist students in preparing for the entrance exam. Joining us as a postgraduate international research student is not mandatory for applicants who can directly pass the entrance exam.

• If you are interested in joining our group as a graduate student, please feel free to contact me via Contact with your curriculum vitae (CV) and a brief statement of your research interests attached, reflecting what you have learned about our research, so we can discuss the best options.
