What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Quantinuum and RIKEN completed an upgrade of Quantinuum’s Reimei quantum computer to its H2 system at RIKEN. This upgrade establishes RIKEN’s hybrid quantum-supercomputing platform as highly capable globally. The partners plan to develop a fault-tolerant “Made with Japan” quantum computer and will collaborate with SoftBank Corp. to connect quantum computers with AI data centers in Japan.
