Japan-Developed Quantum Computers Join Forces with a Supercomputer at the University of Osaka – a First in Japan

Osaka, Japan – Researchers at D3 Center and the Center for Quantum Information and Quantum Biology (QIQB), the University of Osaka, have created SEAFOOD, a platform that allows the university’s OCTOPUS supercomputer and superconducting quantum computers to work together in a single computing workflow.

Quantum computers may help with some of these problems, yet today’s machines have limited numbers of qubits and are prone to errors.

SEAFOOD connects OCTOPUS, operated by D3 Center, with superconducting quantum computers developed and operated by QIQB on a separate campus.

Programs running on OCTOPUS can send calculations directly to the quantum computers and receive the results.
