Tohoku University and NEC Start Research on an 8 Qubit Quantum Annealer – Quantum Computing Report
Skip to content
NEC along with Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). has developed a prototype 8 qubit quantum annealer using a new patented architecture from ParityQC. The architecture brings several advantages including high resistance to noise, long coherence times, and high scalability. NEC and Tohoku will be researching the use of this processor to solve combinatorial optimization problems and will be comparing the results against a simulated quantum annealing machine (NEC Vector Annealing) that runs on the vector supercomputer “SX Aurora TSUBASA” at Tohoku University. Results of this research will be used for development of more advanced quantum annealers and vector annealing machines in the future. A press release from NEC announcing this collaboration is available on their website here. And another press release from ParityQC with additional details about their contribution to this project can be found on their website here.
