The Upgrade 2023 annual research summit opened on March 15 with 24 technology exhibits at the NTT Experience Center (XC) in downtown San Francisco. See part 1 for the first half of this review article. In addition to the IOWN’s All Photonic Network (APN) and the greener urban solutions it can deliver (discussed previously), another

Light, Privacy, Twins, Edge, Work, Ideas, Music and More Make no mistake, Upgrade 2023 is a live event. The annual summit hosted by NTT Research, which takes place in San Francisco, March 15-16, is emphatically in-person. Not virtual or even hybrid. If you want to see the demos and hear the experts – and some

Dr. Thibault Chervy joined the PHI Lab in August 2021 as a Research Scientist. Previously, he was a Post-doctoral Researcher and a Visiting Scientist at ETH (Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule) Zurich in the lab of Dr. Prof. Atac Imamoglu. He received his Ph.D. in Physics at the Institute of Supramolecular Science and Engineering (ISIS), a joint

Introduced in a 2005 paper co-authored by NTT Research Cryptography & Information Security (CIS) Lab Director Brent Waters, attribute-based encryption (ABE) is now approaching commercialization. As a case in point, NTT is conducting a proof-of-concept (POC) information-sharing platform using ABE with the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). Part of a broader technology partnership with UTS,

By Kazuhiro Gomi, President & CEO of NTT Research NTT Research is unique, but not the only organization in our corporation with ambitious long-range 1goals. Another research group within NTT, for instance, in collaboration with Japan’s National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), recently broke new ground involving technology that may take a decade to implement.

Theoretical work on quantum computing (QC) is advancing in many ways. Meanwhile, industries are enlisting existing QC technology to address specific near-term problems. Over the past few years, for instance, the automotive industry has been tapping QC companies for help in optimizing electric vehicle (EV) battery chemistry. Companies such as VW, Daimler-Benz, Toyota and Hyundai

This month, NTT Research made its debut on television with two commercials exploring the value of foundational research as a cornerstone of NTT’s innovation mission. In “Viral,” we tell the story of how decades of basic research into respiratory viruses enabled the rapid development of a vaccine against the coronavirus—and posits that today’s basic research
