About the Speaker
Seigo Tarucha received the B.E. and M.S. degrees in applied physics from the University of Tokyo in 1976 and 1978, respectively. He joined the NTT Basic Research program in applied physics at the University of Tokyo in 1986. In 1998, he moved to the University of Tokyo as a professor in the Department of Physics and then to the Department of Applied Physics in 2005. In March of 2019, he retired from the University of Tokyo, and since then, he has been fully affiliated with the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science (CEMS). He has been running a Quantum Functional System Research Group in CEMS since 2013 and also a Semiconductor Quantum Information Device Research Team in RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing (RQC) since 2019. He was a guest scientist at the Max-Planck-Institute (Stuttgart) in 1986 and 1987 and at TU Delft in 1995. He is currently working on the physics and technology of spin-based quantum computing and topological quantum computing. He received the Japan IBM award in 1998, the Kubo Ryogo award, the Quantum Devices award in 1998, the Nishina award in 2002, the National medal with purple ribbon in 2004, the Leo Esaki Award in 2007, the Achievement award of Japan Applied Physics Society in 2018 and the Fujiwara Award in 2023. He is a fellow of the Japan Applied Physics Society and the IOP.
