Quantinuum and RIKEN Expand Partnership to Accelerate the Commercialization of Quantum-AI Hybrid Supercomputing in Japan
The upgraded Reimei system will support new quantum-AI projects in materials and biomolecular simulation, with early results already showing stronger predictions.
- On Tuesday, Quantinuum and RIKEN announced an upgraded Reimei quantum computer using the H2 system, establishing RIKEN's hybrid platform as the most capable quantum-AI supercomputing facility in the world.
- This initiative operates under the NEDO-supported JHPC-quantum project, overseen by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to explore uncharted computable capabilities for scientific discovery.
- SoftBank Corp. joined the partnership to connect quantum computers with AI data centers, aiming to develop a fault-tolerant "Made with Japan" quantum computer for broader industrial accessibility.
- Researchers are now leveraging the upgraded platform to advance "AI for Science" initiatives, targeting complex simulations in electronics, energy, and life sciences previously unattainable with prior systems.
- The collaboration aligns with U.S.-Japan efforts to advance AI-driven discovery, reflecting a planned partnership under the U.S. Genesis Mission to extend long-term quantum leadership.
