The RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS) has completed the installation and initiated the operational launch of its new supercomputer, "ROQUO," at its campus in Kobe, Japan. Developed under a project commissioned by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), the system serves as the high-performance computing (HPC) backbone for Japan’s national hybrid [...] The post RIKEN Launches ROQUO Supercomputer to Drive Full-Scale Quantum-HPC System Integration appeared first on Quantum Computing Report .
Nations are increasingly investing in domestic high-performance computing capabilities to secure their technological sovereignty and drive advanced research.
This move strengthens Japan's position in hybrid quantum-HPC integration, essential for future scientific discovery and national competitiveness in AI and advanced computing.
Japan now possesses a dedicated national supercomputing backbone for testing and developing hybrid quantum-HPC systems, accelerating its quantum computing roadmap.
- · Japan's scientific research community
- · Japanese quantum computing industry
- · High-performance computing sector
- · Countries without national quantum-HPC integration strategies
RIKEN gains a state-of-the-art facility for quantum-HPC research and development.
Japan accelerates its capabilities in advanced computing, potentially leading to breakthroughs in materials science, drug discovery, and AI.
Increased global competition in the hybrid quantum-HPC space, pushing other nations to invest similarly to avoid falling behind.
