Silicon Quantum Computer Research: Itoh Group, Keio University
Researchers at the Kohei Itoh Group in Keio University are working to create the ultimate silicon computer, which does calculations using individual silicon atoms. The brain of a computer is made from silicon semiconductor integrated circuits, or silicon chips. In the semiconductor industry, to make silicon chips run faster and consume less power, people have worked to increase circuit integration. This trend is known as Moore's Law. However, if Moore's Law is pursued, by 2025, we will have reached the stage where a single silicon atom stores a one or a zero to do calculations in binary. Q. Because computers calculate using ones and zeros, computing is done just by switching currents on and off. The shorter the distance the current flows, the faster computing can be done, and lower power consumption can also be achieved. At present, currents are switched in areas consisting of about 200 atoms. But it is predicted that in 2020-2030, switching on and off will be done in areas the size of a single atom. Our research began with the question of whether computing can be done with individual atoms. There are three isotopes of silicon, Si-28, Si-29, and Si-30, where the number of neutrons in the silicon atom is 14, 15, and 16. Among the three isotopes, only Si-29 has a nuclear spin, making it magnetic. In 2002, the Itoh Group suggested a method of computing using Si-29 magnets placed on a silicon wafer made of Si-28, which is not magnetic. By counting zero if the Si-29 magnet <b>...</b>

Safe and Secure Communications：Ohtsuki Group,Keio University
In recent years, wireless communication has become very familiar, as exemplified by the rapid spread of mobile phones. However, because the available frequencies are limited, the transmission speed of mobile phones is lower than that of fiberoptic communication, audio quality fluctuates, and there is a risk of eavesdropping. To solve these problems, the Ohtsuki Group is developing communication technologies based on information theory and signal processing. Q.For example, one topic in our recent research is multidimensional signal processing for communications and security. Until now, signal processing has often been done in time or frequency domains, but were extending it to include spatial domain as well. In other words, we can do signal processing with respect to time, or space and frequency, or time and space, or time, space, and frequency. For example, when you're using a mobile phone, until now, sending or receiving a large data file has taken a very long time. But if you use this kind of technology, we can realize high-speed wireless communications like optical communications with mobile phones, high-quality transmission is possible, so DVDs or movies can be downloaded very quickly. Alternatively, by giving a network some capabilities of mobile phones, a secure mobile phone system can be created. We expect to be able to do a variety of things. They are also looking at positioning systems that could replace GPS. They are researching and developing positioning <b>...</b>

College Baseball: Meiji Jingu Stadium, Tokyo September 27, 2009 : Keio Univ. 5 - 2 Hosei Univ. Tokyo Six Big Baseball League: 2009 Autumal Season Tournament Tokyo Big6 Baseball League (東京六大学野球連盟) is an intercollegiate baseball league that features six prominent universities in the Tokyo area. The league consists of universities of Waseda, Keio, Hosei, Meiji, Rikkyo and Tokyo. Tokyo University is the only public school in the league. Before the inception of the professional baseball league, the Tokyo Big6 League was widely considered the highest level of baseball in Japan and the most popular sports in early 1900s. The college baseball league was officially established in 1925 while Japans professional baseball league started in 1936. All the leagues games are played at Meiji Jingu Stadium, Tokyo. Games are known to be rowdy and celebratory with male and female cheerleaders and noisy bands working together. There are two tournaments a year in the spring and autumn. The series between Waseda and Keio known as Sokei-sen (早慶戦= Waseda-Keio Battle) attract the most attention. The Waseda-Keio rivalry beginning in 1903 actually predates the establishment of the college baseball league. The series are always played in the last week of the season in memory of this.

Robot Technology :Takemura Group, Keio University
Kenjiro Takemuras group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Keio University Aiming for a breakthrough in robot technology from component technology Researchers at Kenjiro Takemura's Group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Keio University is not simply looking at applications for robot technology, but aiming for a breakthrough in robot technology itself, through innovations in component technology. For this reason, the Group is working on new actuators, sensors, and design methods, like those shown here. Actuators and sensors using electro-conjugate fluids Q: Electro-conjugate fluids are functional fluids, which generate powerful jet flow when a DC voltage is applied. In other words, they can be utilized as fluid pressure sources without using a pump. This fluid can be used to create micromotors, which have higher output density the smaller they are, and soft artificial muscle actuators that contain fluid pressure sources. It is also possible to build an ultra-thin rate gyroscope that utilizes the flow drift due to the Coriolis force on circulating flow in channels of 0.1 mm wide. These fluids have many possibilities. However, why they flow is not clear, so the Takemura Group is also working on a theory to explain this. Ultrasonic motor Q: Although some ultrasonic motors have been commercialized, they have few applications, considering how quiet and powerful they are. We think one reason for this is the complexity of the drive signals, and are working <b>...</b>

High-speed processing with low power consumption
[Aiming to achieve computers for high-speed processing with low power consumption] The Amano Laboratory is working to develop computers that deliver high performance while consuming less power. This research applies a technology called dynamically reconfigurable systems. With this technology, the hardware configuration changes in accordance with the computation problem, enabling faster computing by changing the configuration, moment by moment, to an optimal one for the problem. The Amano Lab has succeeded in using this technology to develop a processor called the MUCCRA-3, which delivers high processing performance with low power consumption. QA feature of our research is that we dont just suggest methods, but actually design chips or systems, and run those systems to verify our results. This dynamically reconfigurable processor MUCCRA-3 is a chip weve developed using the latest technologies. It has 30 times the energy efficiency of current DSPs, or control signal processors. This chip can run quite powerful image processing programs on just 10 mW. Right now, were measuring the current in MUCCRA-3; it does its processing at about 5 mA. To do the same processing with a DSP would need about 500 mA, so you can see that MuCCRA-3 is running with extremely low power consumption. The Amano Lab is also researching parallel processing technology. This uses lots of the small, inexpensive processors utilized in home game consoles. Running them all at the same time creates a cluster <b>...</b>

Integrated Microsystems : Matsumoto Group, Keio University
Yoshinori Matsumotos research group is studying integrated microsystems. Integrated microsystems are for integrating sensors, which correspond to the five human senses, and silicon microcircuits, which correspond to the nerves and brain, into a few square centimeters. To fabricate the sensors, lithography technology with micron-level processing precision is needed. The research group provides an environment where students can immediately implement their own ideas using mask manufacturing and lithography equipment. For the integrated microsystems, the group designs sub-micron CMOS circuits, and an outside foundry makes prototypes, which are then tested. Q. We are getting all kinds of results. For example, one of our themes is visible light communication, which we are studying with Professor Nakagawa in Information Engineering. For environmental reasons, everyday lighting will shift from incandescent and fluorescent lighting to LEDs. LEDs are not only environmentally friendly, but they can also be modulated at high speed, and this characteristic can be utilized skillfully to provide not just illumination, but communication. Because signal sources will be available in all sorts of places, there could be all sorts of applications for them. To avoid interference between visible light communication and other light, Matsumotos group is developing special integrated circuits with arrays of light-sensitive elements. They are also developing a method for extracting only the output <b>...</b>

Arithmetic Geometry - solving number theoretical problems using geometrical intuition
In the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Keio University, the Bannai Group, led by Professor Kenichi Bannai, is conducting research in number theory. Number theory, which deals with the properties of integers, is known as the "Queen of Mathematics." The Bannai Group is focused especially on arithmetic geometry. Arithmetic geometry utilizes methods and results from algebraic geometry. In this field, number theoretical problems are investigated via the geometric properties of geometric objects defined by algebraic equations. Q. "Humans perceive things in two ways, logically and intuitively. Logic involves calculating things precisely. On the other hand, when using intuition, especially geometric intuition, we look at a problem in a certain geometric way and immediately "know" the answer. If one asks how this can be applied to problems in number theory, for example, consider the problem of finding rational solutions of the equation x2 + y2 = 1. The problem of seeking rational solutions of an algebraic equation is a number theoretical problem. Geometry comes into the picture if one thinks of the equation x2 + y2 = 1 as expressing a unit circle. When I use the word geometric intuition, what I mean is, it is much easier to solve this problem if one thinks that the equation x2 + y2 = 1 is not simply an algebraic equation but also that it represents a circle." Using methods from arithmetic geometry, Andrew Wiles in 1995 solved the Fermat's Last Theorem, which had puzzled <b>...</b>

Research on functional thin films using nanostructure control
At Keio University, the Omiya Group, in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, is researching functional materials and mechanics of materials. One of the Group's main topics is developing functional thin films with optical and mechanical characteristics, by controlling structures at the nanoscale. These nanostructures are fabricated by rotating a substrate and forming molecular layers of materials on it by electron beam vapor deposition. Q. "When we fabricate thin films, we use a deposition method: We direct an electron beam at a material to evaporate it, and by doing that in a vacuum, we make the material form layers on a substrate. When we build up the layers, if we make careful arrangements, we can fabricate various structures in the process. For example, for an optical function, we need the refractive index of light to change. And by forming tiny irregularities on the surface, we can change the refractive index for reflected light. So, for example, we can put something like a filter on the film: We can make something like the privacy filter used on a cellphone, so something can only be seen from certain angles. And to achieve electrical characteristics, we can make lots of tiny holes, so we can maintain the material's strength while improving its insulating properties. As a concrete application, we're thinking of using such materials as insulating films for chips in computers." Functional thin films are often used by coating a substrate. So the Group is also <b>...</b>
