Eisuke Abe is an experimentalist and a unit leader at RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing, where his research focus is on developing the hardware for superconducting quantum computing systems. In the past, he has worked on various solid-state qubit platforms such as phosphorus donors in silicon, electrostatically-defined quantum dots, optically-controlled self-assembled quantum dots, and nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond. He received his doctoral degree from Keio University in 2006, and worked at University of Tokyo, Oxford University, Stanford University and other places.

Yi-Te Huang is a Visiting Scientist at the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing in Japan as well as Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Physics and Center for Quantum Frontiers of Research and Technology (QFort) at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU). He earned his Ph.D. in Physics from NCKU in 2025, specializing in simulating quantum dynamics on classical and quantum computers. He is an admin team member for QuTiP (Quantum Toolbox in Python) and a lead developer of QuantumToolbox.jl, an efficient Julia framework for simulating open quantum systems. Through these projects, he actively advances open-source computational tools for quantum physics, particularly in non-Markovian dynamics and hierarchical equations of motion.

Tomoko Inose is a Unit Leader at the RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics and an Associate Professor at Kyoto University. She received her PhD in Chemistry from the Fuaculty of Science, Osaka University in 2015. Afterwards, she worked in Prof. Uji-i group in Hokkaido University in 2015-2020 and Prof. Furukawa group in Kyoto University in 2020-2023 as an assistant professor. From 2023-2025 she was a Program-Specific Associate Professor at the Hakubi Center at Kyoto University. Her research focuses on photochemistry, plasmonics, nanophotonics, and functional nanomaterials. In particular, she develops plasmonic nanowire-based technologies for single live-cell manipulation.

Dr. Neill Lambert is a theoretical physicist working on the topic of open quantum systems, the theory of how small quantum systems behave when put in contact with large noisy environments.  This field is important for both fundamental physics, like how the classical world arises from the quantum one, but also for quantum technologies, where managing such noise is vital.  He is a senior research scientist in RIKEN, and an admin and developer for the popular Quantum Toolbox in Python package (QuTiP).

Tomoya Okino is a researcher at Trapped-Ion Quantum Computer Team in RIKEN specializing in quantum chemistry, strong-field laser science, attosecond science and quantum computing based on trapped-ion. He earned his PhD from the University of Tokyo in 2009. Prior to joining RIKEN as a researcher in 2014, he served as an Assistant Professor at the University of Tokyo from 2006 to 2013. His research focuses on advancing experimental approaches to light–matter interactions and quantum technologies.

Shuntaro Tani is a physicist and research team leader at the RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics (RAP), where he heads the Digital Twin for Light-Matter Interaction RIKEN ECL Research Team. His research centers on ultrafast laser physics, precision laser processing, and light-matter interactions, with a focus on integrating deep learning and automated experiments to construct digital twin models for complex light-driven processes. Prior to joining RIKEN, he conducted extensive research on ultrafast spectroscopy, femtosecond laser ablation, and mid-infrared spectroscopy at the Institute for Solid State Physics (ISSP) at the University of Tokyo and Kyoto University
