"Kyoto Semiconductor Co-creation Lab" of Kyoto Institute of Technology has been established on April 1, 2026. 

Two missions of "Kyoto Semiconductor Co-creation Lab"
 1) JST Moonshot Goal 6: "Development of Scalable Highly Integrated Quantum Bit Error Correction System"
 2) "Semiconductor Human Resource Development" according to "Establishment of a Co-creation Hub for Semiconductor Human Resource Development in Kansai Area" by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.



Outline

 The research and development theme "Development of Scalable Highly Integrated Quantum Bit Error Correction System", which objects the practical application of quantum computers, proposed by Professor Kazuyoshi Kobayashi, director of the Kyoto Semiconductor Co-creation Lab, was accepted as Moonshot Goal 6 by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) in fiscal year 2022. Professor Kazuyoshi Kobayashi is in charged the Project Manager, and our lab. has been promoting the research on classical electronics (integrated circuits) for controlling and error-correction of quantum computers.
 
On the other hand, a proposal for semiconductor human resource development involving Osaka University, Kyoto University, Kobe University, Osaka Metropolitan University and our university -- 5 major national and public universities in the Kansai region --, was actcepted for the Ministry of Education.
In the Kyoto Semiconductor Co-creation Lab, we are working in collaboration with other universities, technical colleges, local governments, consortia, and industry to promote the development of "Development of Scalable Highly Integrated Quantum Bit Error Correction System", utilizing semiconductor circuit technology, as outlined in Moonshot Goal 6. And we perform education aimed at developing semiconductor human resources to establish a co-creation hub for semiconductor human resource development in the Kansai region.


History

  Green-innovation Center of Kyoto Institute of Technology (KIT) was founded to develop the results of "highly efficient energy utilization" and participates in the "Kyoto Next Generation Energy System Creation Strategy" being promoted in the Kyoto region in 2015. The center was reorganized as Green-innovation Lab in 2018 as part of the efforts to strengthen research capabilities and industry-academia collaboration. Green Innovation Lab is a research center that integrates researchers, proposes new power control systems that integrates power electronics and advanced communication functions, and develops prototypes. It has become a center for promoting research and development in the field of green innovation in the university's functional enhancement projects. In 2022, with the aim of further strengthening our research capabilities, we established the Monozukuri Education and Research Center (MERC). In 2022, Kyoto Lab for a Greener Future was established by integrating the research fields of the Monozukuri Education and Research Center (now Monozukuri Unit of Open Facility Center) to further strengthen research capabilities.
  As described in Overview, "Kyoto Lab for a Greener Future" has been reborn as the new "Kyoto Lab for a Greener Future." "Kyoto Lab for a Greener Future" focuses on quantum computers, with the main mission being to promote research on the Moonshot (MS) Goal 6, "Development of a scalable highly integrated quantum error correction system" from April 1, 2025 .

  Furthermore, from April 2026, we have taken over the mission of "Development of Scalable Highly Integrated Quantum
Bit Error Correction System" utilizing semiconductor circuit technology, which is the theme of the original JST Moonshot Goal 6. On the other hand, in September 2025, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology announced the "Establishment of a Co-creation Hub for Semiconductor Human Resource Development in the Kansai Region", and a project was launched in which five national and public universities in the Kansai region cooperate to develop semiconductor human resources. KIT plays a part in this initiative, and the "Kyoto Semiconductor Co-creation Lab" has been newly established in "Center for the Possible Futures" for semiconductor human resource development.

Project


1.  "Moonshot Research and Development Project 6" promoted by Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST)
"Development of scalable highly integrated quantum error correction system"    Detail =>
Here
 
Project Manager: Kazutoshi Kobayashi, Director of Kyoto Semiconductor Co-creation Lab.
 
Moonshot Goal 6
Realization of a fault-tolerant universal quantum computer that will revolutionize economy, industry, and security by 2050
.
  Outline:
 This research and development project aims to realize an agile error correction system that supports a wide range of qubit realization methods, from superconducting qubits to neutral atoms, and to realize a compact and low-power qubit controler for superconducting qubits
. The goal of this Moonshot Goal 6 by 2050 is the realization of a large-scale, fault-tolerant general-purpose quantum computer. This research and development project will conduct research and development on technologies that enable the realization of an error correction system and qubit control device capable of handling up to 1 million qubits by combining a communication network between higher-level, medium-scale qubits with top-level qubit hardware.
