R&D Project

Goal 6 R&D Projects (Selected in 2022)Development of a Scalable, Highly Integrated Quantum Error Correction System
Project manager (PM)KOBAYASHI KazutoshiProfessor, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Kyoto Institute of Technology
Summary of the project
To realize an error-tolerant general-purpose quantum computer, this project addresses the technical issues of algorithms and scalable backends by using classical hardware for error correction, scalable quantum-to-classical input/output frontends, their chip implementation, and cryogenic operation for high bandwidth and low power quantum-to-classical input/output. We will address the technology challenges of optical integrated circuits. This will enable error correction systems for general-purpose quantum computers that can be used universally by 2050 through error correction.

Milestone by year 2030
We will demonstrate the feasibility of scalable and practical quantum error correction processing.
Milestone by year 2025
We will develop a prototype of a quantum error correction system and integrate the qubit control part to make it smaller.
