Toshiba Begins R&D on 10,000-Qubit Quantum Computer

Toshiba has started a big research project. Their goal is to create a superconducting quantum computer with over 10,000 physical qubits by 2030. They want to reach 250 logical qubits. This is key for real quantum computing. The project uses Toshiba's special "STAR architecture." This early fault-tolerant quantum computing design promises efficient performance, especially in materials science. This effort forms part of Japan’s broader push toward next-generation computing infrastructure. Toshiba Electronics Corporation was chosen by NEDO to join a national project. This project aims to speed up the industrialization of quantum computing. The initiative will work with AIST and RIKEN. It will continue until the end of fiscal year 2027.
