Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com, October 7, Fujitsu and the Institute of Science and Chemistry (Riken) successfully developed a new superconducting quantum computer on Thursday, which is also the second self-developed quantum computer in Japan, according to Fujitsu's official press release.

Quantum computer is the next generation of supercomputer that uses the principle of quantum mechanics to perform high-speed operations. According to reports, Fujitsu and Riken made use of the technology previously developed for the country's first superconducting quantum computer, and the two sides further revealed the news that the hybrid quantum computing platform was about to be launched. The platform can combine the computing power of the 64-bit quantum computer developed this time with the world's largest 40-qubit quantum computer simulator developed by Fujitsu.

In addition, Fujitsu announced that it will now open the use of the computer to companies and research institutions conducting joint research with Fujitsu and Riken.

Riken is the largest basic and applied research institution in Japan, involving physics, chemistry, biology, engineering and medicine. It publishes more than 2500 papers in top journals every year.

Japan's first quantum computer, developed by the Japan Institute of Science and Chemistry on March 27 this year, is 64 qubits integrated on a chip about 2 centimeters long and 2 centimeters wide, surpassing the 27-qubit computer installed by IBM in Kawasaki this year.

CTOnews.com previously reported that Fujitsu began working with Riken in April 2021, with about 20 researchers involved in the project, and the company expects the product to be launched in fiscal year 2023 (from April this year), first used in the company's internal financial forecasts and in the development of new materials and drugs.

In addition, Fujitsu has conducted joint research on material design with Fuji Film, a photoresist manufacturer, to explore quantum computing applications, and plans to further introduce partners.
