QI2023 / 6th IFQMS
Quantum Innovation 2023 was held at Tokyo Convention Hall from November 15 (Wed.) to 17 (Fri.), 2023. The 6th International Forum on Quantum Metrology and Sensing (IFQMS) was held on November 16 and 17 at the Tokyo Convention Hall and Tokyo Institute of Technology Ookayama Campus as a joint program of the event.
IFQMS started in 2019 as a project of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) Quantum Leap Flagship Program (Q-LEAP) to promote international collaboration and young human resource development in the field of quantum metrology and sensing technology, and this 6th forum was the first face-to-face meeting in a long time. The event featured interdisciplinary exchanges for innovation promotion, including a joint poster session with other quantum science and technology fields and a satellite workshop for young researchers.

Joint Poster Session (Nov. 16)
On the afternoon of the second day of QI2023, the poster session of QI2023 was held.
There were more than 130 presentations by mainly young researchers in Tracks Quantum Computing Track (PO-CP), Quantum Sensing Track (PO-SE) (Q-LEAP 6th IFQMS Joint Session), and Quantum Cryptography & Communication Track (PO-CC).
The large number of visitors and the lively discussions between participants and poster presenters were well attended.

QI2023 / 6th IFQMS Satellite Workshop on Solid-state Quantum Sensors (Nov. 17)
The QI2023 / 6th IFQMS Satellite Workshop on Solid-state Quantum Sensors was held as a satellite workshop of QI2023 on the afternoon of November 17 at Tokyo Tech Ookayama Campus (Chair: Associate Prof. Takayuki Iwasaki, Tokyo Institute of Technology). This workshop was organized to bring together posters related to Solid-State Sensors from the QI2023 Poster Session and invited speakers from abroad for technical discussions to foster young researchers and promote research exchanges.
After a one-minute short presentation by each poster presenter and a lab tour of Tokyo Tech’s Q-LEAP site, technical discussions and exchanges of opinions took place.
Forty-five participants, including 22 poster presenters, engaged in friendly yet serious discussions throughout the venue. For young researchers, it was a valuable opportunity to hear directly from renowned foreign researchers.
