What to read for

3 checks before implementation

  1. 01Article focus

    PsiQuantumという企業が、光の粒を利用して強力な量子コンピュータを作る計画を発表しました。

  2. 02Operational lens

    量子コンピュータは創薬・材料開発・最適化問題に有用です。

  3. 03Verify in source

    MIT Technology Review (Research): check the dataset, evaluation setup, and adoption assumptions for R&D.

The machine that could change the world will be housed in a room that looks like a data center crossed with an ice cream factory. Inside will be some 100 stainless-steel cabinets, each about six feet tall and connected to a supply of liquid helium that keeps them only a few degrees above absolute zero. Inside those cabinets will be hundreds of chips, and on those, thousands of particles of light flying through a maze of optical switches and beam splitters. Each photon must b…

ゼロビズAX View — How Japanese companies can apply it

量子コンピュータは創薬・材料開発・最適化問題に有用です。日本企業(特に製薬・化学・物流大手)は、5~10年後の商用化を念頭に、ベンダー動向の監視と小規模POC検討を開始すべき時期です。導入経路はクラウド利用または共同研究の可能性が高く、現段階での詳細な導入費用は不明。技術の実用化レベル・競争状況を継続的に確認することが重要。
