Nano ICT Group
The Nano ICT Group is conducting fundamental research and development on high-level quantum control technology, photonic-level signal control technology, uncultivated frequency-band technology, and structural control and application technology at an atomic and molecular level using new materials such as atoms, molecules, and super-conductors. The group aims to overcome technological and performance limits and advance development of information and communication technology.
We aim to establish technologies that can be a basis of the high-level network society such as photonic network with a peta-bit class capacity, a high-level functional wireless network, and a fusion of these next-generation network technologies with older information and communication technology.
Novel devices for future information and communication technology using atomic, molecular, and superconducting materials.
Research and development of a technique to control extremely weak signals on information and communications technology.
Research and development of a fundamental technique for device fabrication to advance information and communication technology by integrating ultimate fabrication techniques controlled at a 10-nm level and new functionality by using novel nano materials consisting of organic molecules and/or superconductors. Research and development of a technique for fabricating a single photon detector that works at a high frequency above 100 MHz by using superconductors and a single photon light source with well-controlled structures consisting of organic materials.
Research and development of extremely energy-efficient communication technology
Development of photonic and electronic fusion devices that enable energy consumption in communications and signal processing down to photonic energy levels, technology and logic-switching devices that reduce energy usage to 1/100, made possible by extremely energy-efficient technology using macromolecular nano-materials and superconductors.
Research and development of innovative communication technologies using versatile sensing techniques of informational signals on a nano-meter scale.
