"IoT H/W Biz Day 2021 by ASCII STARTUP" will be held on November 19th, which has an IoT, hardware product, AI, cloud, network -related businesses, and businesses related to communications.。From the developed session, we will deliver a collaboration session with the international exhibition of the world's leading electronics manufacturing supply chain "SEMICON JAPAN 2021".Regarding the current status of quantum computers, which is considered to be the favorite of the next -generation computer and investing in Japan and overseas, the current state of quantum computers in Japan, Mr. Yuichiro Minato, President of Blueqat Co., Ltd., a top runner of quantum computer startups.) I will introduce the content of the lecture by).

Development competition that intensifies in the world

　Investment on quantum computers is rapidly expanding.In the early 2010s, investment in the area, which was about several million to tens of millions of dollars, exceeded $ 600 million in 2020 and $ 800 million in 2021.In Japan, the Cabinet Office has released the "quantum technology innovation strategy" in 2020, promoting investment in the field.However, it must be said that it is inferior to the movements in Europe, the United States and China, where investment in hundreds of millions to billions of dollars is increasing every year.

　Not only in the country's development support, but also in corporate development, Japan has been worshiping more than other countries.For example, North America (USA, USA) has about half of the world's quantum computer companies and organizations.In Europe, British companies have recently gained power in this area, and French, Spain, and German companies have frequently talked about.In Scandinavia, the hardware development of quantum computers is progressing.

　While Singapore and Australia are becoming a name for hardware development in the Asia and Pacific zones, Japan has no presence compared to its economic and technical skills.

　"China has been increasingly increasing recently. This is not a company but a country -by -country basis, but it has already begun to make things that far surpass the performance of the latest quantum computer in the United States.Computers are the same as smartphones and recent electric vehicles, and it is a very important field to start business on a global scale "(Minato).

　In 2020, a quantum computer research group at the University of Science and Technology reported that it took 600 million years in Japan, called Gaussian Buson Sampling, in 200 seconds.This was the second best quantum transcendence after Google.Google had achieved a 10,000 -year calculation in Spa Contact SUMMIT in 200 seconds, but in China, a faster quantum computer was developed in 2021.

　In the first place, one of the reasons why quantum computers attract attention is the market size.Initially, the development of quantum computers was crowded around 2015, which was a quantum computer with many errors called NISQ, and was a time to calculate while cheating errors by becoming a hybrid with existing computers.At this point, the market size was said to be 250 billion yen to 550 billion yen.

　From around 2020, the performance of quantum computers has finally realized quantum transcendence that surpasses the supercomputer.Therefore, the current market size is expected to be around 2.7 trillion yen to 5.5 trillion yen.

　It is said that around 2040, a general -purpose quantum computer, which also implemented error correction, will be realized.The market size has increased significantly, reaching 50 trillion yen to 93 trillion yen.Initially, this level of quantum computers will be realized around 2050 to 2060, but the time has been ahead of the time.

　The domestic quantum computer market, which was about 6 billion yen in FY2020, is expected to be nearly 300 billion yen in FY2030, and the quantum computer industry development in Japan is to satisfy this rapidly expanding market.It is an urgent task.
