Kawasaki and Tokyo, Japan, May 15, 2026 – (JCN Newswire) – Fujitsu Limited and Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo) at this time introduced the institution of the “Fujitsu Quantum and HPC Infrastructure Collaborative Research Cluster” at Science Tokyo. This collaborative research cluster goals to systematically and virtually develop human assets with quantum hardware know-how in Japan. The initiative is a part of Fujitsu’s “Fujitsu Small Research Lab” program [1] and makes use of the Science Tokyo Collaborative Research Cluster System [2], with assist from Open Innovation Office of the Center for Innovation Management [3]. The new cluster will function as a collaborative research cluster, increasing past conventional High Performance Computing (HPC) to incorporate the quantum hardware area.
Through this collaborative research cluster, each events will strengthen their technological capabilities by researching quantum hardware design, manufacturing, management, and analysis applied sciences important for realizing sensible quantum computer systems. They may also foster talent to assist next-generation quantum computing platforms and provoke efforts to pioneer new research areas that combine HPC and quantum applied sciences.
Background
Quantum computer systems are anticipated to be a foundational know-how that can remodel society and {industry} throughout numerous fields resembling supplies development, drug discovery, finance, and manufacturing. However, realizing sensible quantum computer systems requires implementing numerous quantum bits that may be operated with excessive precision. Their development necessitates the continual cultivation of extremely specialised personnel able to dealing with quantum hardware design, manufacturing, management, and analysis. Furthermore, research and development in quantum hardware faces excessive obstacles as a result of want for a variety of research infrastructure, together with superior services for quantum bit chips and manufacturing know-how, large-scale cryocoolers for sustaining extraordinarily low temperatures, and quantum bit management units. Consequently, the variety of personnel engaged on this area’s R&D is restricted, not solely in Japan however globally.
Fujitsu and Science Tokyo have beforehand collaborated on establishing next-generation computing platforms past Science Tokyo’s supercomputer “TSUBAME” and increasing the social software of such applied sciences by way of the “Fujitsu Next-Generation Computing Infrastructure Collaborative Research Cluster,” a Fujitsu Small Research Lab. This new collaborative research cluster expands upon that research by incorporating quantum hardware research and talent development initiatives, aiming to pioneer new research areas that fuse HPC and quantum applied sciences.
Features of the Fujitsu Quantum and HPC Infrastructure Collaborative Research Cluster
1. Locations
(1) Quantum Theme Hub: Location: Room 1017, South Building 3, Ookayama Campus, Institute of Science Tokyo, 2-12-1 Ookayama, Meguro-ku, Tokyo Research Content: Research on quantum laptop management know-how Period of Establishment: April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2027 (continuation to be thought of thereafter)
(2) HPC Theme Hub: Location: Rooms 310 and 312, G2 Building, Yokohama Campus, Institute of Science Tokyo, 4259 Nagatsuta-cho, Midori-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Research Content: Research on next-generation computing platform applied sciences for accelerating AI and HPC purposes Period of Establishment: October 20, 2022, to March 31, 2027 (continuation to be thought of thereafter)
2. Overview of Initiatives:
This collaborative research cluster will undertake the next new initiatives:
(1) Joint research on quantum laptop management and calibration applied sciences: The intention is to ascertain management applied sciences that obtain excessive quantum operation constancy and to advertise the development of extra environment friendly quantum gate calibration applied sciences using AI. This will result in the advancement and effectivity of applied sciences required for more and more complicated management and calibration because the variety of quantum bits in quantum computer systems will increase.
(2) Practical talent development in quantum hardware know-how: The cluster will present theoretical training on quantum computer systems along side joint research. It may also supply college students sensible coaching alternatives that align with the precise research and development processes, together with quantum bit chip design, manufacturing, management, and measurement. This goals to foster talent with systematic and sensible experience in quantum hardware know-how.
Future Plans
Fujitsu and Science Tokyo will proceed to advertise talent development and research and development in quantum hardware know-how by way of this collaborative research cluster. Furthermore, by combining Science Tokyo’s HPC know-how with quantum know-how, they intention to create new fusion research areas and set up next-generation computing platform applied sciences that combine classical and quantum computing.
Both events may also contribute to strengthening Japan’s competitiveness in quantum know-how by accelerating the social implementation and industrial software of quantum computing by way of industry-academia collaboration in talent development and know-how creation.
[1] Fujitsu Small Research Lab: An initiative the place Fujitsu researchers are stationed or keep long-term at universities to speed up joint research, uncover new themes, develop talent, and construct medium- to long-term relationships with universities.
[2] Science Tokyo Collaborative Research Cluster System: A system designed to “meet corporate needs” by establishing a “Research Planning Office” throughout the cluster to create new research themes past current ones and notice a sustainable collaborative atmosphere.
[3] Open Innovation Office of the Center for Innovation Management: An group at Science Tokyo that promotes large-scale joint research, primarily by way of the Collaborative Research Cluster System, aiming for complete new enterprise development and social implementation in shut cooperation with {industry}.
