Part 2 Materials informatics and black-box optimization methods using quantum annealing
[Purpose of the lecture]
Materials informatics research using data science is attracting attention in the field of materials science. Black-box optimization, represented by Bayesian optimization, is a method (design of experiments) that can appropriately propose materials to be
manufactured next using the power of machine learning. However, there is a problem that combinatorial explosion occurs due to diversity of material composition, structure, and process, and calculation time is very long in normal black-box optimization. To avoid this problem, we developed a discrete/continuous black-box optimization method using quantum annealing technology.
In this course, we will introduce the details of the algorithm, how to use Python code, and application examples.

Part 3 Research Cases of Quantum Chemical Calculations and Material Design of Actual Materials Using Quantum Computers
[Purpose of the lecture]
In recent years, major IT companies in Europe, the United States, China, and other countries have stepped up efforts to develop gate-type quantum computers. In addition, development projects at the national level are being promoted, and the competition to develop quantum computers is heating up. Among them, Keio University opened “IBM Q Hub” in May 2018 to research practical problems jointly with industry, government, and academia using IBM’s quantum computer. Mitsubishi Chemical joined Q Hub in June of the same year and started research on the application of quantum computers to the field of chemistry in collaboration with researchers from IBM and Keio University. In this lecture, I will introduce some examples of applied research that I have been doing so far. What kind of technical hurdles are there before practical use, and how can we overcome them? I want to show you the path of
