Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has announced that two of its research and development (R&D) projects have been selected through a public solicitation by Japan\u2019s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) for support under an initiative to advance Quantum Computing and other information technology in the post-5G era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The NEDO project is officially known as the Research and Development Project to Strengthen Post-5G Information and Communication System Infrastructure (Accelerating the Development and Demonstration of Next-Generation Quantum Computers to Solve Societal Issues). Following this selection, Mitsubishi Electric will launch two projects aimed at scaling up quantum computers: 1) Research and Development of Multi-Qubit-Control Laser Systems and 2) Development of Ultra-Compact, Multi-Channel, Low-Noise Amplifier Modules for Large-Scale Superconducting Quantum Computers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quantum computers are next-generation technologies that are expected to revolutionise computing infrastructure by enabling larger-scale simulations and optimisation than conventional computers in a wide range of fields, including medicine and drug discovery, finance, logistics and energy. R&D targeting practical applications is already underway, but full-scale industrial applications will require significantly improved processing capacity and computational accuracy to realise quantum computers with clear advantages over conventional computers. Qubits are fragile and highly susceptible to noise, so technologies that combine multiple qubits are needed to correct errors. Consequently, scaling quantum computers to the level of 1 million qubits will be a key challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two projects will promote technological validation within an industry-leading ecosystem involving collaboration with quantum-computing research institutions, including Japan\u2019s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. By providing essential systems and components for scaling up multiple types of promising quantum-computing architectures, Mitsubishi Electric hopes to accelerate the realisation of industrial applications using quantum computers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
