École Polytechniqueの学生がSFCにてインターンシップを実施
2012年08月10日慶應義塾大学の学術交流協定締結機関の１つであるフランスのグランゼコールÉcole Polytechniqueの学生Mourad Bejiさんが、２０１２年４月から８月までの４ヵ月に渡り、環境情報学部のロドニー・バンミーター准教授の指導のもと、インターンシップを行いました。Mouradさんから寄稿されたレポートをご覧ください。
Japan - as a country, and as a
culture - has always attracted me. As we all know about the Japanese level of technology, there was no question for me as to where to go for my research
internship in computer science. The university I have attended for the last
three years, École Polytechnique, and Keio University have strong links and
partnerships, and I found through my teachers the occasion to visit Keio SFC to
study a new field of computer science: quantum computers.
Joining the AQUA team
(Advancing Quantum Architecture) was a good opportunity for me to take a peek
at the future of computer science. With a background in physics and mathematics
before moving to computer science, I did my specialization in networks and
security. As I wanted to keep close to these themes, I worked on quantum
repeater networks for my internship. This is a technology that will allow us to
create networks of quantum computers in the distant future. This same
technology should also be used for quantum key inscription and other quantum
security mechanisms in the near future. My job was to enhance an existing
simulator for such networks, and implement some quantum repeater
protocols.
These four months of internship were also very rich in terms of personal and cultural discoveries. With Keio SFC being located close to Tokyo and Yokohama, I was able to spend days and weeks getting lost in these metro-jungles. Needless to say, the country of all wonders has much to offer, as long as you make the effort to plunge into the Japanese life.
