Overview

 Our first major breakthrough addresses the quantum challenge. We are exploring quantum teleportation as a promising method for achieving reliable qubit transmission between distant nodes, even over highly lossy network connections. To support this, we will develop an emulation tool designed to investigate the behavior and interaction of protocols based on quantum information teleportation. This tool serves as a critical step toward understanding the fundamental requirements and constraints before the realization of a true quantum Internet. In doing so, our research helps uncover and overcome previously unforeseen obstacles to the development of global-scale quantum-enhanced optical networks.

The second breakthrough focuses on the wireless challenge, motivated by the unprecedented expansion of wireless technologies that continue to reshape modern life. Our work aims to enable more pervasive and seamless connectivity through the integration of mobile and heterogeneous devices. This research is driving the next generation of wireless systems, creating new possibilities for ubiquitous communication and intelligent networking.

Another significant breakthrough lies in addressing the sensor challenge, which underpins the development of sense-control-actuate technologies and paves the way for the emergence of cyber-physical systems (CPS). These smart systems tightly integrate sensing, computation, and control to interact with the physical world in real-time. CPS represents a paradigm shift, where networks of sensors collect vast amounts of data, which are then processed by advanced information systems and seamlessly delivered back to users via mobile and embedded platforms, enabling closed-loop responsive and intelligent environments.

We are also tackling the energy challenge, as the power industry undergoes a transformative shift toward smarter, more safe and resilient energy distribution infrastructures. Our research addresses energy efficiency across multiple layers — from ultra-low-power consumption in sensor nodes to intelligent energy management in scale of microgrid and nanogrid. By designing optimized protocols and architectures, we aim to enable sustainable and scalable solutions that support the growing demand for energy-aware systems in both grid and island modes of operations.

The QuWi laboratory at JAIST addresses these challenges focusing on the advance research advanced networking domains of quantum, wireless, sensor, and energy distribution. The QuWi laboratory is headed by Professor Yuto Lim. We invite you to explore our current works to obtain more information about establishing an amalgamation of collaborative relationship with us.
