Research

I am currently involved in the following topics:

A new perception of informatics

There are several important reasons why it is now of large importance, for society in general and for informatics in particular, to develop a new, deeper, broader and more challenging perception of Informatics.

This new perception see Informatics as the oldest area of science and technology consisting of four closely connected areas (scientific, engineering, methodological and application) that has an important impact on other areas of science and technology and can be seen as their main guide and servat/queen.

If you are interested in this topic, see the following papers:

Quantum information processing, transmission and cryptography

This is currently one of the hotest topics in science and technology. The goal is to explore how much can a clever use of inherently quantum phenomena improve (from the efficiency point of view) information processing, transmission (from the efficiency and security points of view) and/or realize actions (as teleportation) that are impossible when only of the classical world phenomena are used.

This area of science and technology can be seen as a merge of arguably two most areas of science and technology of 20th century - quantum physics and informatics and as such a merge it is expected to be of the key importance for the 21st century.

If you are interested in this topic (and you would like to get free the first book/monograph/textbook about the subject), see the refernces to the book and its updatings and corrections few klines below below

I am also much involved, as a co-founder and the Steering committee chair, in organizing, since 2001, a series of main annual Asia Quantum Information Science conferences (2001 - Tokyo, 2002 - Tokyo, 2003 -Kyoto, 2004 - Tokyo, 2005 - Tokyo, 2006 - Beijing, 2007 - Kyoto, 2008 - Seoul, 2009 - Nanjing, 2010 - Tokyo, 2011 - Busan/Seoul, 2012 - Suzhou, 2013 - Chenai). See, for example, AQIS'12 for the next AQIS conference.

Teaching

I am currently teaching the following courses at Faculty of Informatics:

IV054 Coding, cryptography and cryptographical protocols - lecture web page (syllabus) 140 students in 2011
IA062 Randomized Algorithms and Computations lecture web page, (syllabus)
IA066 Introduction to quantum algorithms and computing - lecture web page
IA084 Hot topics in quantum computing
IA075 Quantum seminar (syllabus)
IA067 XXXI Informatics colloquium Colloquium web page, since 1997 (syllabus)

Recent books

You may be interested in the following two books:

Quantum computing

In quantum computing, we witness an exciting and very promising merge of two of the deepest and most successful scientific and technological developments of this century: quantum physics and computer science. In spite of the fact that its experimental developments are in their infancy, there has already been a variety of concepts, models, methods and results obtained at the theoretical level that clearly have lasting value.These concepts, methods and results are the main subject of the book.

Foundations of computing

An innovative, synthetizing, much broader than usual, precise but not too formal and focused presentation of fundamentals of modern computing as rich on interesting/important and indispensible conceptual tools and methods as well as deep/exciting results for undergraduate and graduate students in computing and related areas.
