By 2030, Fujitsu aims to build a superconducting quantum computer with more than 10,000 qubits, a goal that would place it among history’s most ambitious engineering undertakings. Unlike the moonshot for a fully fault-tolerant million-qubit machine, Fujitsu’s program is pragmatically built around achieving 250 logical qubits,and making use of the quantum computer for useful computations in fields like materials science, chemistry and industrial design.
This effort, rooted in decades of quantum research and Japan’s national technology strategy, marks the next phase of Fujitsu’s evolving quest to make quantum computing practical and commercially viable, according to Vivek Mahajan, Corporate Executive Officer, Corporate Vice President, CTO, in charge of System Platform, Fujitsu Limited.
“Fujitsu is already recognized as a world leader in quantum computing across a broad spectrum, from software to hardware,” said Mahajan, in a company statement.
