SoftBank Corp. Launches Joint Research with Keio University with View to Business Utilization of Quantum Computers

SoftBank Corp. (“SoftBank”) launched a joint research collaboration with Keio University with a view to the business utilization of quantum computers. Initially research will be conducted in the field of quantum chemistry, which involves the quantum mechanical analysis of molecules and nuclei.SoftBank will dispatch researchers to the Keio University Quantum Computing Center to simulate nuclear quantum effects (NQEs) which cannot be efficiently computed by classical computers. These simulations will be performed using Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) computers, and will be used to investigate the mechanisms of chemical phenomena and validate NISQ use cases for social implementation. SoftBank will continue to conduct research in multiple fields including quantum machine learning and optimization planning, and work with mobile technologies such as 5G and 6G communication systems and IoT to contribute to the social implementation of quantum computers.

Customer Interview – Fixstars Amplify
Using Quantum Computing Technology in Distribution Center

In October 2022, Sumitomo Corporation began operating an “Optimal Employee Arrangement System (magiQanneal)” for logistics centers. The system was developed using the quantum computing cloud service called “Fixstars Amplify.” We have published an interview in which we asked about the impetus for the use of quantum computer technology, the efforts leading up to its introduction, and the results achieved after its introduction.

Testimonial: Fixstars Amplify
Used SQBM+ and Fixstars Amplify SDK in combination, and found them to be highly compatible.

“I found it very convenient to be able to try various Ising machines just by switching the solver part. Especially for large-scale problems, there are differences in calculation results depending on the characteristics of each machine.”
