"TerraSky TV with Atsugiri Jason" is a new type of business entertainment brought to you by TerraSky executive and comedian Atsugiri Jason.
Through a dialogue between Atsugiri Jason and Matsushita of Quemix, we will explain the current status and expected possibilities of quantum computers in an easy-to-understand manner even for quantum computer beginners.
The first part addresses Jason's simple question, "What is a quantum computer? How is it different from traditional computers?" with Matsushita providing the answers.
The second part explains the economic impact of quantum computers and examples of their anticipated applications.
The final part discusses when quantum computers will become practical, explains the current state of hardware development, and explores the future of classical and quantum computers.
Q2B 2025 Tokyo
Quemix participated as a co-host and platinum sponsor at Q2B 2025 Tokyo, a global business event on quantum technologies held in Roppongi, Tokyo on May 15–16, 2025, where we presented the results of our ongoing research and development of algorithms for fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC).
Video recordings of our keynote speech, panel session, and case study presentation are available for viewing.

Toward Practical Quantum Computing :
FTQC Algorithm Initiatives
Yu-ichiro Matsushita ,President & CEO , Quemix , Inc.
Quemix is dedicated to developing practical and impactful quantum algorithms that have the potential to become industry standards. Our focus lies in quantum chemistry, computer-aided engineering (CAE), and machine learning—areas where quantum computing is expected to deliver real-world value in the near future. In this keynote, we will present the latest outcomes of our research and development efforts, highlight the significance of these results, and discuss the technical challenges we face. Through concrete examples, we will also share our vision for the road ahead as we move toward the practical deployment of quantum computing.
Measuring the Future of Quantum: Japan's Position and the Countdown to Quantum Supremacy

【 Plenary Talk】
The Future of Simulation and Machine Learning Transformed by FTQC 〜 FTQC Demonstration Has Begun 〜
Yu-ichiro Matsushita, President & CEO Quemix Inc.
Since its inception, Quemix has been developing quantum algorithms for fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC). In this context, we have developed and proposed innovative Probabilistic Imaginary-Time Evolution (PITE) algorithms that can be implemented in quantum computers. Materials computation has attracted much attention as a promising candidate for the first application of quantum computing. In this talk, we will show that PITE can be used to perform calculations that are completely different from conventional quantum chemical calculations on quantum computers, and we will also present its quantum advantages with examples using current quantum hardware devices.
【Panel Session】
Cutting-Edge Industry-Academia Collaboration Towards the FTQC Era
Yu-ichiro Matsushita, President & CEO Quemix Inc.
Moderated by Masanobu Terabe from Deloitte Tohmatsu Consulting, the panel session featured Professor Synge Todo from the University of Tokyo, Takuya Kitagawa from QuEra Computing, and Qi Gao from Mitsubishi Chemical, with Quemix's CEO Yu-ichiro Matsushita participating. During the session, the discussion focused on the expectations and preparations required from the perspectives of hardware vendors, software vendors, users, and academia as we approach the era of FTQC (Fault -Tolerant Quantum Computing) in the near future.
【Case Studies】
The Promise of Quantum Computing Technology to Accelerate the Research and Development of Innovative New Materials
Takeshi Aoyagi, Senior General Manager of Informatics Initiative, Principal Expert Asahi Kasei Corporation
Hirofumi Nishi, Director, Research & Development
Quemix Inc.
In this session, we presented our research and development efforts on new materials using quantum computers, alongside Dr. Aoyagi from Asahi Kasei Corporation, who provided the research theme. We introduced our use of the downfolding method, which combines quantum and classical computers in a hybrid approach, and demonstrated the successful execution of FTQC algorithms on a real quantum computer, incorporating Quantum Error Detection functionality (QED) into PITE® on Quantinuum's ion trap quantum computer. This achievement, which we believe to be a world first (according to our research), received significant media coverage.
