The International Center for Quantum-field Measurement Systems for Studies of the Universe and Particles (QUP) was established on December 16, 2021, at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) as one of the research centers under the World Premier International Research Center Initiative (WPI) of the Japanese government.

QUP sets the following missions:

■ Integrate particle physics, astrophysics, condensed matter physics, measurement science,
　and systems science.

■ Invent and develop new systems for measuring quantum fields (space-time with particles
　and quasiparticles created and annihilated, and associated physical quantities).

■ Bring innovation to measurements in cosmological observations
　and particle experiments, and elucidate the true nature of space-time and matter.

■ Establish a new measurement science, quantum field measurement systemology, as a science
　of means through the above practices.

■ Last but not least, we will create a new level of fusion of various research areas beyond physics
　and new social values through application to other fields and social implementation.

In short, QUP will bring "new eyes" to humanity. To facilitate studies to achieve these missions, we have decided to organize monthly QUP Colloquium. We will invite outstanding researchers from around the world as speakers who will tell us their cutting-edge findings. The colloquium will cover a wide range of topics related to QUP's missions mentioned above.

Your participation is welcome!
