['Koichiro Miyanishi']

With the support of the Moonshot Research and Development Program, and Adopting Sustainable Partnerships for Innovative Research Ecosystem (ASPIRE), I worked on several research themes at Oxford University for one year. The results are the culmination of the technology and knowledge I have steadily accumulated by working with experimental equipment every day. I hope to bring these experiences and lessons back to Japan and contribute to the further development of trapped-ion quantum computers.
