RIKEN, NTT, and Fixstars Amplify have succeeded in developing a new type of quantum computer.
This will be the world’s first platform for general-purpose optical quantum computing.
Specifically, they have developed a new type of quantum computer using an optical method. The optical method is expected to enable faster and larger-scale quantum computing than conventional quantum computers, and will advance quantum computer research to a new stage, such as solving previously difficult computational problems.
The optical quantum computer developed this time is available from a cloud system via the Internet.
Quantum computers are expected to solve various problems at ultra-high speeds by using the principles of quantum mechanics for calculations, and there is a fierce competition to develop them around the world.
