Fujitsu and the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN) have made a significant breakthrough in quantum computing by developing a new quantum computer with 256 quantum bits. This advanced machine builds upon their previous 64-qubit model, representing a major leap forward in computational capabilities.

The new quantum computer is not just a technological achievement for the two organizations, but a collaborative effort to push the boundaries of scientific research. They plan to make this powerful machine available to companies and research institutions worldwide, starting in the first quarter of the 2025 fiscal year. This open access approach aims to accelerate innovation and exploration in quantum computing.

Beyond increasing the number of quantum bits, the team has also made impressive advancements in cooling technology. They've developed more efficient cooling methods that will help stabilize the quantum computer's performance. Looking ahead, Fujitsu and RIKEN are already working on an even more ambitious project – a 1000-qubit quantum computer expected to be installed next year, with a research collaboration planned through March 2029.
