| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
We have obtained very many research achievements published in excellent physics journals, which were evaluated by many expert referees from all over the world. The 8 examples below are from Science and Nature journals, but we have also many published in PRL and other top journals. The results are summarized in the title and the URLs below provide easy access to their abstracts.

Current Status of Research Progress
1: Research has progressed more than it was originally planned.
Reason
The research activities have been very successful. We published many papers in excellent physics journals, which were evaluated by very many expert referees from all over the world. Six examples published in PRL are listed below:

In November 2020, for the fourth year in a row, the PI was listed as a “Highly Cited Researcher”, based on the Web of Science data. The only non-Japanese in the Physics category in history for work done in Japan (11 in total for all of Japan in 2017, 8 total for 2018, 7 in 2019, and 8 in 2020). This because, during the last decade, his research group produced more than 40 highly cited publications (top 1% cited publications among all papers in all areas of physics).

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
We plan to continue to obtain exciting results, to be evaluated by top experts from all over the world. These expert referees repeatedly evaluate our work, and 1,000s of readers study our works.
According to Research Gate our work has been and still is “the most read contributions from your institution”. This has been the case for several years (that our papers are the most read in all of Riken for the past several years). An example of “weekly reads” in Research Gate, from mid-November 2020, for papers from our group is here: [Link]
We will continue studying (superconducting and semiconducting) quantum devices as “Artificial Atoms”, and we are elucidating how these “giant atoms” interact with light, transmission lines, (electro-magnetic or mechanical) resonators, and to use the gained knowledge for designing on-chip hybrid quantum processors, quantum controllers and quantum sensors. Particular emphasis is being placed on optomechanics and the ultra-strong coupling limit of cavity QED. We are doing this through theoretical and computational methods and in close collaboration with various experimentalists. We are testing the developed models and the performance of designed quantum devices through our existing collaborations with several experimental groups with whom we have already published together. With these devices it is possible to create circuit analogues and simulations of many quantum phenomena.
