Fujitsu, in collaboration with research institute Riken, has made significant progress in developing Japan’s second quantum computer. The new quantum computer has 64 qubits and will be combined with a 40-qubit quantum computer simulator to address the problem of error correction for more accurate results.
While Fujitsu acknowledges that quantum computing still has a long way to go, the successful development of this quantum computer marks a major milestone in the ongoing effort to make quantum technology practical and commercially viable.
Various governments and companies, including IBM and Alphabet, have invested heavily in quantum computer research because they can perform calculations millions of times faster than the most powerful supercomputers currently available.
IBM had previously introduced a 433-qubit quantum computer, demonstrating its commitment to pushing the boundaries of quantum computing. It is important to note that qubits, which are quantum bits, are the basic units of quantum computing and directly contribute to the computing power of these systems.
As the global race for advanced technologies, including quantum computing, intensifies, countries such as China, the United States and related industrial democracies are vying for leadership. President Joe Biden has introduced measures to limit certain US investments in Chinese initiatives aimed at developing quantum technology.
Overall, Fujitsu and Riken’s successful development of Japan’s second quantum computer represents a significant advance in the field of quantum computing. As researchers continue to refine and improve the technology, we can expect further advances in the practical and commercial applications of this game-changing technology.
