Fujitsu and Osaka University Unveil STAR Architecture Ver. 3 for Quantum Computing

• •Fujitsu and Osaka University have launched STAR architecture ver. 3 for quantum computing.
• •The new architecture improves computational accuracy by over 10x compared to ver. 2.
• •The technology enables realistic energy calculations for chemical material design.

Fujitsu and the Center for Quantum Information and Quantum Biology at The University of Osaka have developed a new technology aimed at enhancing the industrial application of quantum computers, specifically in early fault-tolerant quantum computing (early-FTQC). This advancement, known as STAR architecture ver. 3, integrates highly efficient phase rotation gates with logical-T gates to improve computational accuracy by over 10 times compared to its predecessor. The technology is designed for molecular model optimization, enabling energy calculations for chemical material design, such as catalyst molecules, within a realistic timeframe. Current traditional computing methods would take millennia for these calculations. The STAR architecture is expected to facilitate breakthroughs in drug discovery, ammonia synthesis, and carbon recycling technologies. This development marks a significant step toward practical quantum computing applications.
