10,000 qubits reportedly on the cards for one of them, with help from IBM
Japan's Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology is set to work on a pair of quantum computers, and inject Nvidia's latest accelerators into one of its existing supercomputers.it had signed a memorandum of understanding with IBM that will see the two entities"strengthen collaboration for the industrialization of quantum technology" and"promote the development of next-generation quantum computers and their supply chain.
Fujitsu described the machine as a"gate-based superconducting quantum computer" that is"designed to scale to hundreds of qubits … without upgrading the dilution refrigerators that constitute a superconducting quantum computer." The machine will also feature Fujitsu tech for mounting high-density wiring inside refrigerators and packaging technology for large qubit chips.
The servers and accelerators will reportedly enhance the Institute's ABC1 super – a machine currently making do with 960 A100 GPUs, plus 4,352 of the ancient V100 processors Nvidia launched way back in 2017. Just what the Institute will do with all its new kit isn't known. But as the org has a mission to work on"the creation and practical realization of technologies useful to Japanese industry and society, and on 'bridging' the gap between innovative technological seeds and commercialization" it clearly has many roles in which capable computers might help.
