Research Associate Nobuyuki Yoshioka was selected for The Researchers with Nice Step 2023
On 15th December 2023, Research Associate Nobuyuki Yoshioka, Department of Applied Physics was selected for Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), National Institute of Science and Technology Policy (NISTEP) Selection "The Researchers with Nice Step 2023"
The Researchers with Nice Step 2023
Explanation about the award Since 2005, NISTEP has been selecting people who have made significant contributions to S&T as “NISTEP Selection (The Researchers with Nice Step)”. In the past, Prof. Shinya Yamanaka and Prof. Hiroshi Amano, who subsequently received the Nobel Prize, have been selected.
For the 2023 selection, NISTEP identified approximately 1,600 researchers whose recent activities have attracted attention, based on information obtained from a survey of expert network and other sources. In addition to their research achievements, the 10 finalists were selected through discussions by an internal review committee based on their cutting-edge and groundbreaking research, including emerging and fused fields such as the fusion of natural sciences with the humanities and social sciences, industry-academia collaboration and innovation, and the development of international research activities.
About awarded research
"Advancing quantum science by fusion of information science and condensed matter physics"
It is believed that we may achieve technological innovations beyond the current human knowledge by understanding quantum phenomena as well as establishing quantum control technologies. I have been advancing my research with the aim of exploring unconventional approaches for this purpose, by integrating the mathematical tools and algorithms of information science that span both classical and quantum domains, along with insights from condensed matter physics.
Your impression & future plan
In my research activities, I have endeavored to find interesting and provoking fundamental science problems, and also explored pathways to connect this knowledge with societal applications through industry-academic collaboration. It is truly encouraging to receive the award in this regard. All of these achievements would not have been possible without the support of my research collaborators, mentors, and the invaluable assistance of family and friends. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you.
