R&D Project
Goal 6 R&D Projects (Selected in 2020)Research and Development of Theory and Software for Fault-tolerant Quantum Computers
Project manager (PM)KOASHI MasatoProfessor, Graduate School of Engineering, the University of Tokyo
Summary of the project
This project aims to construct a co-design model encompassing qubit design, fault-tolerant architecture, and compilers and programming languages for efficient computation through collaborations of researchers in quantum information, architecture, and specific physical systems, thereby endeavoring to realize a large-scale quantum computer by the year 2050.
Milestone by year 2030
We will deliver a significant reduction in hardware requirements for realizing a large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer.

Milestone by year 2025
We will develop a supporting tool for designing a fault-tolerant quantum computer with integration of hardware and software.
