Fujitsu and Delft University of Technology are intensifying their cooperation in the field of quantum computing, establishing the Fujitsu Advanced Computing Lab Delft at the end of January 2024. The collaboration is fully dedicated to the development of quantum computing technologies and is part of the Fujitsu Small Research Lab initiative. The lab will be set up at world-leading quantum technology research institute QuTech.
QuTech is a collaboration between Delft University of Technology en TNO, and aims to accelerate R&D of diamond-spin quantum computing, a technology that Fujitsu and QuTech have been jointly researching since October 2020.
The two partners will further advance the development of real-world quantum applications, and aim to realize innovative fluid simulation technologies that apply quantum computing to the field of computational fluid dynamics, where large-scale and complex computations are an ongoing challenge.
To date, the two partners have conducted R&D on quantum computers with diamond-spin qubits, with the goal of creating a blueprint for future modular quantum computers that can scale up to more than 1,000 qubits.
To make practical quantum computing a reality, Fujitsu and TU Delft are conducting research on associated technology layers, from the device level to control systems, architecture and algorithms. As a result, the two partners realized the first fault-tolerant operation of spin qubits in a diamond quantum processor using the diamond NV center method.
The collaboration in the Fujitsu Advanced Computing Lab Delft has a provisional term through September 2028.
