[Quantinuum and RIKEN Expand Collaboration to Advance Commercialization of Quantum-AI Hybrid Supercomputing in Japan] According to TechFlow, on November 10th, Quantinuum announced an expanded collaboration with RIKEN, further advancing the research and commercialization of quantum-AI hybrid supercomputing in Japan after upgrading the Reimei quantum computer deployed at RIKEN to System Model H2.
This upgrade makes RIKEN's hybrid quantum-supercomputing platform the most powerful system of its kind, expanding research pathways in fields such as electronics, energy, and life sciences. The two companies will collaborate with Japanese universities and local suppliers to develop a fault-tolerant "Made with Japan" quantum computer and partner with SoftBank Corp. to explore the infrastructure for directly connecting quantum computers to AI data centers to support commercial applications.
The collaboration is based on the NEDO-supported JHPC-quantum project, combining the Reimei, ROQUO GPU supercomputer, and Fugaku supercomputer. Related research has already covered areas such as materials simulation and biomolecular simulation, and preliminary results show that quantum data can improve the predictive performance of AI models. Quantinuum CEO Rajeeb Hazra stated that the upgrade will expand its exploration with RIKEN in related fields and work with SoftBank to promote industry accessibility.
