RIKEN and Quantinuum Demonstrate Heterogeneous Multi-QPU Workflows on Fugaku
Quantum Computing Report · By Mohamed Abdel-Kareem ·
The Brief
- RIKEN and Quantinuum demonstrated a hybrid quantum-classical workflow that integrates the Fugaku supercomputer with two quantum processors.
- The two quantum processors are Quantinuum's trapped-ion Reimei and IBM's superconducting ibm_kobe.
- The setup enabled a multi-modality workflow across these distinct quantum hardware types.
Why it matters
It shows that quantum processors based on different physical technologies can be combined with a classical supercomputer in a single workflow, which is relevant to researchers building hybrid high-performance and quantum computing systems.
