Quantum Computer Sources Majority Of Components From Japanese Makers

A consortium of joint research partners, including Osaka University, RIKEN, AIST, NICT, Amazon Web Services, e-trees.Japan, Inc., Fujitsu Limited, NTT Corporation, QuEL, Inc., QunaSys Inc., and Systems Engineering Consultants Co.,LTD., have successfully developed Japan’s third superconducting quantum computer. Starting December 22, 2023, the partners will provide users in Japan access to the newly developed computer via the cloud, enabling researchers to execute quantum algorithms, improve and verify the operation of software, and explore use cases remotely. The research team sourced more domestically manufactured components and will operate the new computer while improving its software and other systems for usage.
