Fujitsu and RIKEN have successfully developed a new 64 qubit superconducting quantum computer and launched a platform for hybrid quantum computing, combining the computing power of the new quantum computer with one of the world’s largest 40 qubit quantum computer simulators. The new platform enables easy comparison of calculation results of noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computers against error-free results from quantum simulators, contributing to accelerated research in areas including performance evaluation of error mitigation algorithms in quantum applications. Fujitsu and RIKEN are further developing a hybrid quantum algorithm that links superconducting quantum computing with high-performance computing (HPC).
