Quantinuum is installing the Reimei quantum computer at Japan's RIKEN to advance research in physics and chemistry.
Reimei: New quantum computer in Japan opens up the future of research!
The future of quantum computing has taken a decisive step forward in Japan! The Quantinuum quantum computer “Reimei” is now fully functional and ready for use installed at the prestigious RIKEN research facility in Wako, Saitama. This breakthrough machine, which physically moves qubits in a unique architecture, will enable significant advances in research into physics, chemistry and other applications, according to the announcement from Quantinuum and RIKEN.
The collaboration between Quantinuum, the world's largest integrated quantum computing company, and RIKEN, Japan's premier research institution, is not only a technological triumph, but also the first use of Quantinuum's technology outside the United States. Dr. Rajeeb Hazra, CEO of Quantinuum, described the installation as a pivotal moment in the company's global strategy. The powerful Reimei machine works closely with RIKEN's Fugaku supercomputer to create an innovative hybrid platform for quantum high-performance computing (HPC) that goes beyond the capabilities of traditional systems, reported DataCenterDynamics.
A new era of quantum research
The installation of “Reimei” is part of an ambitious project supported by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) to demonstrate the benefits of hybrid computing platforms. Researchers at RIKEN, who already have Japan's first quantum computer in use, want to develop software tools to optimize the integration of quantum and supercomputers in collaboration with institutions such as the University of Tokyo and Softbank, like it OTS.at reported. Dr. Mitsuhisa Sato from RIKEN highlights that Reimei's precise qubits will significantly expand research potential.
This technological leap shows the rapid development in the field of quantum computing as the world waits to see how these powerful machines will revolutionize scientific research. The possibilities are almost endless. With this development, Quantinuum has not only enriched the scientific landscape in Japan, but also strengthened the global quantum ecosystem. The next steps include further optimizing operations in this novel hybrid environment and intensifying collaboration with Japanese scientists.
