CTOnews.com, March 27 (Xinhua)-- Japan's first home-made next-generation ultra-high-speed computer, the Quantum computer, opened to external co-researchers on the 27th local time, Kyodo news agency reported.

▲ source: according to the Japanese Institute of Science and Chemistry, this quantum computer, developed by the Japanese Institute of Science and Chemistry, has 64 qubits and is integrated on a chip about 2 cm long and 2 cm wide, and its performance surpasses the 27 qubit computer installed by IBM in Kawasaki this year. At present, this quantum computer is only open to researchers from Osaka University and other cooperative institutions, and will be gradually extended to industry and so on. As long as it is for non-commercial purposes, it can be applied for use, and the results can be obtained after giving instructions to quantum computers through the cloud.

Officials say quantum computers are more than 100 million times faster than supercomputers and are expected to be widely used in finance, chemicals, medicine, automobiles and other fields. They can predict financial markets, or help develop carbon-reducing materials, or help scientists find the next blockbuster drug.

According to CTOnews.com, quantum computer is a next-generation supercomputer that uses the principles of quantum mechanics to perform high-speed operations. However, qubits are easy to be disturbed and lead to operational errors, so the establishment of error correction technology is the key to practical application. At present, the No. 1 machine made in Japan can only carry out basic small operations. It is said that 1 million qubits are needed for full active use and complex and large-scale computing.
