This book presents the research and development-related results
of the “FIRST” Quantum Information Processing Project, which was
conducted from 2010 to 2014 with the support of the Council for
Science, Technology and Innovation of the Cabinet Office of the
Government of Japan. The project supported 33 research groups and
explored five areas: quantum communication, quantum metrology and
sensing, coherent computing, quantum simulation, and quantum
computing. The book is divided into seven main sections. Parts I
through V, which consist of twenty chapters, focus on the system
and architectural aspects of quantum information technologies,
while Parts VI and VII, which consist of eight chapters, discuss
the superconducting quantum circuit, semiconductor spin and
molecular spin technologies.

Readers will be introduced to new quantum computing schemes such
as quantum annealing machines and coherent Ising machines, which
have now arisen as alternatives to standard quantum computers and
are designed to successfully address NP-hard/NP-complete
combinatorial optimization problems, which are ubiquitous and
relevant in our modern life. The book offers a balanced mix of
theory-based and experimentation-based chapters written by
leading researchers. Extensive information is provided on Quantum
simulation, which focuses on the implementation of various
many-body Hamiltonians in a well-controlled physical system,
Quantum key distribution, Quantum repeaters and quantum
teleportation, which are indispensable technologies for building
quantum networks with various advanced applications and require
far more sophisticated experimental techniques to
implement.
