Fujitsu has announced the start of research and development towards a superconducting quantum computer with a capacity exceeding 10,000 qubits, with construction slated for completion in fiscal 2030. This initiative is part of a project publicly solicited by NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization), where Fujitsu will contribute to the thematic area of advancing the development of quantum computers toward industrialization. The project will be promoted through joint research with Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) and RIKEN and will run until fiscal year 2027. The new superconducting quantum computer will utilize Fujitsu’s “STAR architecture,” an early-stage fault-tolerant quantum computing (early-FTQC) architecture. The company’s goals for logical qubit capacity are 250 logical qubits in fiscal 2030 and 1,000 logical qubits in fiscal 2035. Fujitsu’s research efforts will focus on developing scaling technologies in several areas: high-throughput, high-precision qubit manufacturing technology; chip-to-chip interconnect technology for creating larger quantum processors; high-density packaging and low-cost qubit control; and decoding technology for quantum error correction.
