RIKEN selects Quantinuum System Model H1 for large-scale hybrid quantum supercomputing platform in Japan

This collaboration provides RIKEN and its collaborators local access to the world's leading Quantinuum ion trap quantum computer
Project leaders RIKEN, Soft Bank, the University of Tokyo and Osaka University accelerate the development of quantum computers and supercomputers for applications
Broomfield, Colorado and London January 10, 2024 -- Quantinuum, the world's largest integrated quantum computing company, and RIKEN, Japan's largest comprehensive research institution with the world's leading high-performance computing (HPC) center, recently announced An agreement has been reached - Quantinuum will provide RIKEN with Quantinuum's most powerful H1 series ion trap quantum computing technology. Under the agreement, Quantinuum will install hardware equipment at RIKEN's campus in Wako City, Saitama Prefecture.

This deployment will become part of the RIKEN quantum-HPC computing hybrid platform construction project, which is composed of supercomputer Fugaku and quantum computers. Performance computing system components. The integrated hardware platform will support a large-scale software research program in which RIKEN researchers will work with partners Softbank, the University of Tokyo, and Osaka University to develop the software tools and applications needed to effectively integrate quantum computers and supercomputers program.
As a project goal, RIKEN and its partners aim to demonstrate the advantages of such hybrid computing platforms in service deployment in the future post-5G era. The project was commissioned by the New Energy Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), a national research and development institution under the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan.
Quantinuum CEO Dr. Rajeeb Hazra said: "We are honored to be involved in this ambitious and advanced project in Japan. Quantinuum has always been a commercial leader in quantum computing, so we hope to bring our technology and operations to knowledge into projects and contribute to achieving project goals. Our H-series quantum computers are uniquely positioned to help researchers around the world achieve breakthroughs. We are pleased that this collaboration will enable RIKEN and other institutions in Japan Researchers benefit from the full functionality provided by our H-series quantum computers at full load."
Dr. Mitsuhisa Sato, deputy director of the RIKEN Computational Science Center/director of the Quantum-HPC Collaboration Platform Department: "With the number of qubits With an increase in atomicity and improved fidelity, NISQ’s advanced quantum computers are entering a practical stage. From an HPC perspective, quantum computer equipment can speed up scientific applications typically performed on supercomputers and enable tasks that supercomputers have not yet been able to solve. Computing. RIKEN leverages its comprehensive scientific research capabilities and experience in developing and operating cutting-edge supercomputers such as Fugaku to develop system software suitable for quantum-HPC hybrid computing."
