To further the promotion and development of spintronics and quantum science & technology, the Centers for Spintronics Research Network (CSRN), which have already been established at five core universities (The University of Tokyo, Tohoku University, Osaka University, Keio University, and Kyoto University), will serve as the centers of an all-Japan network connecting leading research institutions nationwide. Networked research laboratories will be established at each center university, mainly for young researchers.
This project has been adopted as the "Master Plan 2020 – High-priority Large-scale Research Projects" of the Science Council of Japan and "Major Academic Research Projects - Roadmap 2020" of MEXT. Based on the past achievements, our project will newly establish a 10-year plan starting in FY2022 with a focus on the fusion of classical and quantum information research using spintronics. The following effects and results are expected from this project.
  • Networking among world-leading individual research groups and institutes will be established, and close exchanges and joint research will be greatly promoted, resulting in significant innovations.
  • Creation of new science and technology across different fields (physics, applied physics, electronics, magnetics, materials science, chemistry, information science and engineering, and boundary and new fields).
  • Contributing to the creation of new industries, strengthening of current industries, and realization of an energy-saving and environment-friendly society.
  • Fostering the next generation of researchers and engineers who are full of creativity and can compete (and cooperate and lead) with the rest of the world.
