R&D Project
Goal 6 R&D Projects (Selected in FY2025)Application R&D for Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computers
Project manager (PM)MITARAI KosukeCenter for Quantum Information and Quantum Biology, Osaka University Associate Professor
Summary of the project
We will promote application R&D for fault-tolerant quantum computers with a focus on computer-aided engineering (CAE) and computational materials science. We will also conduct exploratory research toward new applications such as machine learning. Beyond theoretical study, we will integrate algorithm design, compiler development, and implementation evaluation to quantify quantum advantage in the end-to-end applications required by users.
Milestone by year 2030
By 2030, we will achieve at least one demonstration of end-to-end quantum speedup in a new application and quantify the required number of logical qubits and error-rate requirements.
Milestone by year 2028
By 2028, across quantum CAE, computational materials science, and fundamental quantum algorithms, we will establish representative task workflows and resource evaluation frameworks, carry out theoretical verification of asymptotic quantum advantage, and define the prerequisites needed for a quantitative demonstration of quantum advantage by 2030.
