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.

These three goals will lead to the achievement of the following SDG goals.

Our goal is to create a platform where anyone can use quantum software.
We will create a foundation that allows many people to engage in research, development, and commercialization of the development of quantum software.

Increased use of quantum software will deepen scientific knowledge and insight. Even complex calculations that could not be done before will be simulated faster and more accurately. Today, food and environmental issues are pressing problems for us. The problems we face can be solved with the help of quantum software.

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.

Consortium

The Quantum Software Research Hub, together with member organizations, operates the Quantum Software Consortium, which not only conducts joint research and development, but also shares the latest information on quantum software, provides a platform for utilizing quantum technology infrastructure and simulators located in QIQB, and fosters quantum human resources.
