Leading quantum computing company Quantinuum has achieved a significant milestone with the successful installation of its advanced 'Reimei Quantum Computer' at RIKEN’s Wako campus in Japan. This collaboration with Japan’s premier research institution marks the first on-site deployment of Quantinuum’s technology outside the United States.
The Reimei system is a trapped-ion quantum computer and distinguishes itself through its unique architecture, which physically moves qubits. The device is now fully operational and integrated with RIKEN’s renowned Fugaku supercomputer to create a hybrid quantum-high-performance computing platform. This innovative setup is designed to tackle complex computations beyond the reach of traditional supercomputers, opening new possibilities for scientific research in fields such as physics, chemistry, and materials discovery.
Named after the Japanese word for 'dawn,' Reimei symbolizes the beginning of a new era in quantum computing
