Syllabus
Course overview and goals
With the cooperation of the Super Smart Society Promotion Consortium, we will be holding lectures on real-world problem solving and cutting-edge issues towards the realization of a super smart society, aimed at students enrolled in the Super Smart Society Excellence Education Program, students interested in the super smart society, and students who are more generally interested in the super smart society.
Course description and aims
Students will cultivate the specialized ability to create original science and technology in specialized fields spanning cyberspace and physical space, the ability to see the path from quantum science to super smart society, the ability to solve social issues by combining different fields, and the leadership ability to lead each industry, government, and academia sector. In particular, students will be able to briefly explain the current status and future of quantum computers, quantum sensors, and quantum cryptographic communication.
Student learning outcomes

Class flow
Deliver a series of lectures by multiple instructors on-demand (use slide materials such as PPT for assistance). We accept questions via T2SCHOLA so that students can ask questions and exchange opinions promptly. Assignments must be submitted through T2SCHOLA. Instructions from instructors regarding answers to questions and assignments will be given in the form of answers on the T2SCHOLA bulletin board.
