Fujitsu has officially commenced development of a superconducting quantum computer with over 10,000 qubits, targeting completion by fiscal 2030. This initiative, part of a NEDO-backed national R&D project, aims to accelerate the industrialization of quantum computing in Japan. Leveraging its proprietary STAR architecture and collaborations with AIST and RIKEN, Fujitsu will develop core scaling technologies in quantum hardware, packaging, and error correction. This milestone underscores Fujitsu’s commitment to delivering practical quantum solutions and advancing toward fault-tolerant quantum computing by 2035.

I hate to say it, but I’m getting a bit worried for quantum computing. We were told amazing this would happen if we could just get more qubits together.
That was a few years ago when they had 50 to 60 qubits to work with. Just not hearing about the breakthroughs that QC was going to bring.
Hopefully I’m wrong, and we aren’t burning a bunch of energy chasing Icarus.

Error handling and correction is a major headache in quantum computing AFAIK. Will Fujitsu’s quantum computer not have any, and will humans be blamed for the errors instead?
