Tohoku University Tour

There will be a private tour on August 1 - 2 of Tohoku University's research labs for students and researchers visiting from the University of Chicago. This event is by invitation and not open to the public.

The Chicago-Tohoku Quantum Alliance was established in 2023 to support the development of quantum technology across Japan by offering programmes accessible to the public. It also aims to promote joint research between the University of Chicago and Tohoku University in the field of quantum science, and to facilitate student exchanges, collaboration with industry, and the acceleration of startups.
