1. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Star formation is one of the most fundamental structure-formation processes in the universe. By use of the state-of-the-art radio telescopes including ALMA, we are investigating chemical evolution along star and planet formation. At the same time, we are also revealing its formation mechanism by full use of physicochemical tools. When and how is a disk structure formed around a protostar, how is it evolved into a protoplanetary disk and eventually to a planetary system, and how does chemical composition change along them? Those are essential questions deeply related to the origin of the Solar system and even the life.

2. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The missions of RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing (RQC) are to deepen our understandings of quantum mechanics and quantum information, develop techniques for quantum control and measurement, build quantum computing hardware and software, and explore novel applications. Superconducting qubit possesses high degree of freedoms in the circuit design and ability to local control as well as readout quantum states. Utilizing these properties, the development of small scale quantum analog simulator that aiming for the simulations of macroscopic material properties is targeted. Study of non-equilibrium quantum dynamics in these circuits is also planned.
