Advancing drug discovery with supercomputer and quantum annealing.
Harnessing the power of supercomputers and quantum annealers, we develop computational approaches ranging from large-scale molecular simulation to algorithm design, targeting both the understanding of complex biological phenomena and applications in drug discovery.
Two fourth-year undergraduate (B4) students have been assigned to the Yanagisawa Laboratory as its inaugural cohort.
On February 1, 2026, the Yanagisawa Laboratory was officially established at the Department of Computer Science, School of Computing, Institute of Science Tokyo.
A long talk presentation was given at the 203rd HPC and 17th Quantum Software Joint Research Meeting (IPSJ SIGQS17).
A long talk presentation was given at the 84th IPSJ Special Interest Group on Bioinformatics and Genomics (SIGBIO84).
A poster presentation was given at the 4th Quantum Annealing and Related Technologies Workshop.
