Toshinari Itoko

I am a research scientist specializing in quantum algorithm development, with a strong interest in demonstrating quantum advantage through collaborative projects with industry and academic partners. My expertise lies in quantum circuit optimization and quantum error suppression/mitigation, supported by a solid foundation in both theoretical and practical aspects of quantum computing. I contribute to the development of Qiskit, IBM’s open-source quantum computing framework, and am passionate about applying algorithmic design skills to create innovative technologies and business solutions.

Before joining the IBM Quantum team, I worked extensively on modeling, analysis, simulation, and optimization of complex systems. My prior projects include: Medical Data Analysis: Predictive modeling to prevent aggravation of diabetic complications. Industrial Anomaly Detection: Algorithms for early detection of machinery anomalies. Adaptive UX Optimization: Enhancing resume search systems for better skill matching. Document Digitization & Structuring: Efficient transformation of scanned books into structured text using crowdsourcing and machine learning. Production Scheduling: Optimization of scheduling in LCD manufacturing. Steelworks Design Optimization: Combinatorial optimization for plate design efficiency.
