Q2B 2024 Tokyo
We participated as a Diamond Sponsor in the global business event for quantum technology, "Q2B 2024 Tokyo," held in Roppongi, Tokyo, from July 24 to 25, 2024. During the event, we presented the results of our research and development on FTQC-oriented algorithms. You can watch videos of our keynote speeches, panel sessions, and case study sessions.

【 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.
