Fujitsu with RIKEN Launch 256-Qubit Quantum Computer

Fujitsu Limited and RIKEN have created a 256-qubit superconducting quantum computer. It's one of the largest in the world. This big milestone happened at the RIKEN RQC-Fujitsu Collaboration Center. The two organizations set it up together in 2021. This breakthrough builds on Japan's second 64-qubit superconducting quantum computer, introduced in October 2023. Using new high-density packaging technology, the 256-qubit system boosts quantum computing power. Starting in Q1 of fiscal year 2025, Fujitsu and RIKEN will offer the 256-qubit quantum computer to companies and research institutions via the Fujitsu Hybrid Quantum Computing Platform. This platform combines quantum and traditional computing. It allows for advanced hybrid algorithms that boost efficiency and enhance user experience. The new system boosts computing power four times more than the old one. This lets users analyze bigger…
