An example of a cold-atom quantum computer is displayed at the Kenji Ohmori group. The quantum computer is credited to Dr. Takafumi Tomita (IMS).
A Commercialization Preparatory Platform has been established by the Institute for Molecular Science, in partnership with 10 industry partners, to expedite the creation of "cold (neutral) atom" quantum computers.
To expedite the progress of novel quantum computers, an industry-leading research group led by Prof. Kenji Ohmori has established a "Commercialization Preparatory Platform (PF)" at Institute for Molecular Science (IMS), National Institutes of Natural Sciences. The PF was launched with collaboration from 10 industry partners, including companies and financial institutions.
The PF's first 9 partners are blueqat Inc., Development Bank of Japan Inc., Fujitsu Limited, Groovenauts, Inc., Hamamatsu Photonics K.K., Hitachi, Ltd., and NEC Corporation, and they are listed alphabettherapies.
Having established the PF, the IMS will turn to the firms involved in the projects to seek advice and support on commercial issues, including the establishment exterioar / start-up stage (see Development and Law in China and Technology Prospects in China), the production and development of domestically produced quantum computers,[citation needed] and research and development efforts, to help make quantum computers and related services usable in practice. It plans to launch a start-up company by the end of its FY2024 and begin the development of “cold (neutral) atom” quantum computers.
Takafumi Tomita, the research leader at the Kenji Ohmori group, aided in the development of a cold-atom (neutral-atom) quantum computer through experimentation.
Despite the intense competition for quantum computer capabilities across different modalities, several shortcomings remain to be resolved, including the need to increase the computational power of such machines and the necessity for effective measures against possible errors during computation. The new "cold (neutral) atom" approach, which uses individual atoms as qubits, has caught the attention of industry, academia, and governments around the world, as it operates at room temperature and does not require any refrigeration, which is necessary for the superconducting qubit and silicon qubit modalities such as silicon qubit, but
The Ohmori team at the IMS is at the forefront of the development of cold (neutral) atom quantum computers, showcasing a range of technological advancements and core competencies that include "optical tweezers" and "microscopes" that can control a large number of high-quality qubits on a flat surface, as well as "ultrafast two-qubit gates," which employ an ultrafast laser to create a quantum entanglement between two qubits in just 6.5 nanoseconds in the developing of the novel technologies, allowing the "
The IMS will leverage the technological progress and expertise of the Ohmori group to accelerate the progress and profit margin of quantum computers with its industry partners.
Kenji Ohmori group is accountable for the creation of quantum computers.
The team of Professor Kenji Ohmori and his colleagues at the University of California, Santa Barbara have developed a breakthrough in manipulating individual atomic qubits using ultrafast lasers, which has dramatically accelerated the technique's weaker approach, according to a message from Professor John Martinis.
Yuki Takemori, General Manager, Innovation Promotion Office, Business Planning & Coordination Department, Development Bank of Japan Inc., conveyed that the Japanese economy spent the last 30 years unenlightened about its potential growth. He anticipated that quantum computing would be a technology that would bring about significant changes in mankind's future, just like the Internet and artificial intelligence (AI). He believes that quantum computing would become a significant industry for Japan, and it is a testament to the success of the country. Professor Kenji Ohmori and his team are a blueprint for the future.
Professor Kenji Ohmori, from the Institute for Molecular Science, said in a message: "I am truly grateful to such outstanding companies who have provided the necessary support for our cold-atom (neutral-atom) quantum computer. While we believe that our basic technology is the foundation for real-world quantum computers, utilizing various 'enabling technologies' like conventional electronics, software, system engineering, and architecture is not an easy feat and we will quickly work to establish a commercial model that can enable this type of computer and make meaningful advancements in society.
