VISION
We will realize a sustainable future society
pioneered by a Quantum Software Co-Creation
Platform.
Our goal is to co-create an industry-academia platform that makes
quantum software available to everyone, and to make it a new foundation for scientific solutions
to global-scale problems in order to realize a sustainable society.
To realize our vision, we have set three goals.
The first goal is to build a quantum software development platform. This
platform will connect quantum hardware, middleware, and cloud environments to enable seamless
use of not only our own simulators, but also external quantum computers.
The second goal is to establish a foundation for solving social issues using
the quantum software platform, not only by developing NISQ machines, but also by developing
software and algorithms to exploit the performance of FTQC, thereby making it possible to solve
social issues that have been difficult until now.
The third goal is the social implementation and dissemination of quantum
software. We will create an environment where NISQ machines, which can be commercialized in the
near future, can be used in fields such as finance and chemistry on a large industrial scale to
attract the participation of private companies. At the same time, we will train the necessary
personnel.
Who we are
The Quantum Software Research Hub (QSRH) was selected in 2020 as one of the Policy Focus
Areas/Quantum Technology of the
JST COI-NEXT.
The goal of this project is to establish infrastructure for solving social issues through
quantum software on NISQ and FTQC devices, under the vision "Realization of a sustainable future
society through quantum software co-creation platform" against the backdrop of SDGs. We promote
"social implementation and dissemination of quantum software" by developing applications in
machine learning, mathematical data science, finance, materials, chemistry, condensed matter
physics, and other scientific frontiers, as well as by exploring use cases and fostering human
resources. We are developing quantum middleware and a quantum/classical hybrid cloud environment
to establish a "quantum software development platform" that enables seamless use of actual
quantum computers and high-speed simulators both in Japan and abroad.
Our Activities Contribute to the Following SDGs
We aim to create a platform that makes quantum software accessible to everyone. By promoting
the development of quantum software, we are building a foundation that enables more people
to engage in research, development, and entrepreneurship with ease.
As quantum software becomes more widely utilized, it will deepen our scientific understanding
and insights. Quantum simulations will allow us to solve complex calculations more
accurately and efficiently than ever before. Issues such as food shortages and environmental
challenges are urgent global concerns and by leveraging quantum software, we aim to
contribute to their resolution.
