Qubits Asia 2026 will feature the following program highlights:

- D-Wave CEO Dr. Alan Baratz and Chief Development Officer Dr. Trevor Lanting will share updates on the Company’s annealing and gate-model quantum computing technologies, commercial applications and advances in quantum AI.

- Shuichi Fukuda, a researcher at NTT DOCOMO, Japan’s largest mobile operator, will discuss the company’s two D-Wave-powered quantum computing applications now operating in production and the resulting improvements in network efficiency and performance.

- Wanki Cho, consulting manager at LG CNS, will discuss how the company is using D-Wave™ technology to enhance 3D CT imaging for manufacturing inspections.- Professor Daniel Park of Yonsei University will explore how annealing quantum computing could enhance generative AI workflows.

- Po-Hsun Fang of National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University will present a quantum annealing framework for reticle optimization in semiconductor manufacturing.

- Assistant Professor Seon-Geun Jeong of Gyeongsang National University will present research that used D-Wave technology to optimize berth and quay-crane allocation at Busan Port, successfully scheduling more than 50 vessels and 15 quay cranes using real operational data.

量子コンピュータに関心はあるものの、「創薬プロセスのどこに適用できるのか」「現時点でどこまでのことが可能なのか」といった点について、明確な判断材料を持てていない企業も多いのではないでしょうか。
本タスクフォースでは、量子コンピュータのハードウェア・ソフトウェアの研究者と利用者（創薬企業等）が同じテーブルにつき、市場動向や技術成熟度、実装事例を踏まえながら、創薬における活用可能性を段階的に整理・検討してまいります。
本タスクフォースの活動は今後JBA会員限定で進めていく予定ですが、今回のキックオフセミナーは広く門戸を開放し、外部の皆様にもご聴講いただける機会といたしました。
「情報の受け手」で終わるのか、それとも「事実に基づいた戦略的な検討の輪」に加わり、自社の将来的な競争力を高めるのか。本タスクフォースの出発点にぜひお立ち会いいただき、皆様の今後の戦略の一助としていただければ幸いです。
多くの皆様のご参加を心よりお待ちしております。
