50-Qubit QUDORA System to Scale to 200 With New Designs

Fixstars Amplify has become the first Japanese company to partner with QUDORA Technologies GmbH, integrating QUDORA’s quantum computing environment into its optimization cloud service as a standard machine. Central to this collaboration is QUDORA’s 50-qubit system, which has achieved a coherence time exceeding 60 seconds, a duration expected to improve the accuracy of optimization algorithms like QAOA compared to conventional hardware. The German quantum computing company is also building a 200-qubit Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) with its proprietary and in-house chip manufacturing. Yoshiki Matsuda, President and CEO of Fixstars Amplify Inc., said that QUDORA’s proprietary NFQC technology will improve the calculation accuracy of hybrid algorithms such as QAOA, adding that the system’s scalability is expected to be key in realizing practical quantum computing.

Fixstars Amplify Integrates QUDORA’s “Qamelion Emulator” for Early Access

Beyond adding hardware, Fixstars Amplify is offering access to QUDORA’s Qamelion Emulator, allowing users to explore the capabilities of the forthcoming quantum system without waiting for physical availability. QUDORA’s approach centers on advanced ion-trap quantum computers, leveraging proprietary NFQC technology and in-house chip manufacturing to deliver what they claim is Europe’s most advanced system. This extended coherence is expected to improve calculation accuracy, and the company is already designing future Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) capable of scaling to 200 qubits. Users can now access these resources through the Fixstars Amplify SDK and Amplify Quantum extension, facilitating research and development on various quantum optimization algorithms. Amado Bautista, CEO & Co-Founder of QUDORA Technologies GmbH, added that Japan is a vital market for QUDORA, and this partnership solidifies their presence in the region.

QUDORA’s NFQC Technology and 50-Qubit Ion-Trap System

Fixstars Amplify’s integration of QUDORA Cloud marks a significant step in broadening access to advanced quantum computing resources; the partnership establishes the first Japanese collaboration of its kind with the German quantum startup. Fixstars Amplify is making QUDORA’s capabilities a standard component of its optimization service, anticipating demand for increasingly sophisticated computational tools. This extended coherence is particularly crucial for complex calculations where even minor errors can compound rapidly. Looking ahead, QUDORA’s designs target a 200-qubit Quantum Processing Unit, building on the foundation of its current system. Users can begin exploring QUDORA’s environment now through the Qamelion Emulator, a simulation accessible via the Fixstars Amplify SDK, which requires version 1.6 or higher and Amplify Quantum version 1.1 or higher.

QAOA Optimization Gains with Extended Coherence Time Exceeding 60 Seconds

This collaboration aims to accelerate the practical application of quantum technology by leveraging QUDORA’s advanced ion-trap systems, distinguished by proprietary in-house chip manufacturing and a focus on optimization problems. The extended coherence is particularly impactful for QAOA, as it minimizes errors during complex calculations, offering a marked improvement over conventional hardware. QUDORA’s current 50-qubit system is slated to become operational soon, with designs already underway to scale the Quantum Processing Unit to 200 qubits. Before the physical hardware is available, QUDORA is offering the Qamelion Emulator, a simulation designed to replicate the characteristics of their quantum system, allowing users immediate access to the next-generation computing environment.
