February 14th, 2025Via: Interesting Engineering:
Engineers in Japan have activated Reimei, the world’s first hybrid quantum supercomputer. The 20-qubit quantum machine has been integrated into Fugaku, the world’s sixth-fastest supercomputer.
The hybrid system is designed to solve problems that classical supercomputers take much longer to process. The machine is housed at the Riken scientific institute in Saitama, near Tokyo, and will primarily support research in physics and chemistry.
