IBM Partners with Japan to Advance Global Quantum Computing
Tokyo, Japan, 13th March 2025 – Japanese institutions have recently established a strategic partnership with IBM to improve Japan’s quantum computing infrastructure. The goal is to advance the development of cutting-edge computing systems while building an industry base around quantum computing.
Kohei Itoh, who is also a quantum computation leader in Japan, says,
“The power of continuing world-class human resource development will allow us to advance research and create a positive spiral for the outcome.”
IBM’s focus on quantum computing is shown by the construction of the IBM Q System One commercial quantum computer. This system has 20 qubits and is built to be stable and reliable, making it suitable for both scientific and commercial purposes.
Recently, Japan has shifted its focus towards advanced technologies like quantum computing. At the end of 2024 in November, the government of Japan announced a $65 billion spending program to promote domestic semiconductor and AI industries.
This program violets the next generation of chip production and aims at safeguarding the semiconductor supply chains. The initiative is expected to have a major economic impact with an estimate of ¥160 trillion and plans to co-invest with the private sector over the next ten years. Collaborating with Japan is an important step for IBM to complete the quantum computing infrastructure.
By working with top tier Japanese institutions and embracing government policies, IBM can force the international maneuvering to develop and implement quantum technologies. This partnership highlights how vital international relations are to the development of quantum computing.
The involvement of international partners will be critical to meet the industry’s growing multifaceted obstacles and transform quantum technologies into their most sophisticated form.
