―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― [Quantum seminar] Friday, November 22, 2024 14:30-17:00 (Holding method) Completely offline event (Venue) Shin-Kawasaki Sosou no Mori “AIRBIC” Conference Rooms 1 to 4 7-7 Shin-Kawasaki, Saiwai-ku, Kawasaki City (Participation fee) 500 yen/Cash payment on the day (Capacity) 50 people (Participation application URL) https://www.city.kawasaki.jp/280/page/0000170156.html (Event overview) Rapid advances in quantum computing are providing new approaches to problems that are difficult to solve using traditional computer technology. We are dramatically expanding business
possibilities. In this seminar, we will invite Professor Nishimori of Tokyo University of Science, a leading expert on quantum annealing, to give a talk. He will give a lecture on the technological evolution of quantum computing and its application to business. Also, regarding the latest business solutions utilizing quantum computing technology, We will dig deeper through lectures by two startup companies. In the lecture by Mr. Yamashiro of Jij Co., Ltd., he will explain how to solve corporate optimization problems using quantum annealing technology and its specific results. Next, Mr. Matsushita of Quemix Inc. will introduce the current status and future of gated quantum computers, including examples of advanced research. This is a great opportunity to learn about the latest trends in quantum computing and explore its potential for application to business. We look forward to your participation. (Time schedule) ■14:30-14:35 Opening Greetings ■14:35-15:25 Keynote speech Current status and prospects of quantum annealing [Lecturer] Mr. Hidetoshi Nishimori, Specially Appointed Professor, Faculty of Research, Tokyo University of Science [Introduction] Quantum annealing is a computational method developed to solve combinatorial optimization problems by applying the effects of quantum mechanics. Basic research has continued since the proposal in 1998, but over the past five or six years, supported by progress in actual equipment, concrete research has been carried out. ·
Demonstration experiments aimed at solving social issues have begun to be carried out, and their strengths and weaknesses are gradually becoming clearer. In this lecture, we will introduce the latest research results and application examples, and discuss future prospects. We also plan to touch on the relationship with the development status of gate-based quantum computers. ■15:25-15:35 Q&A ■15:35-15:45 Break ■15:45-16:15 Introducing social implementation by startup companies ［Title］ Solving corporate optimization problems with quantum annealing [Lecturer] Jij Co., Ltd. CEO Yu Yamashiro
[Introduction] In this lecture, we will introduce an innovative approach to complex optimization problems faced by companies. Introducing the use of quantum annealing technology. For problems that were difficult to solve using traditional methods, We will use actual examples to explain how Jij’s unique solutions were applied and what specific results they produced. Furthermore, we will look into the future of quantum annealing technology and its potential for digital transformation of companies. About the current state of gated quantum computers and advanced research examples [Lecturer] Mr. Yuichiro Matsushita, Representative Director and CEO, Quemix Co., Ltd./Specially Appointed Associate Professor, Graduate School of Science, The University of Tokyo [Introduction] Gate-type quantum computers are expected to improve accuracy and speed in simulation areas such as materials calculation and CAE, as well as AI and machine learning. The time for the realization of the final version of this technology, the “Error Tolerant Quantum Computer (FTQC)”, is rapidly approaching. Since its establishment, Quemix, which has focused on developing algorithms for FTQC, is closely connected to global trends surrounding gated quantum computers We will introduce research cases of advanced companies towards the arrival of the FTQC era.
■16:15-16:30 Q&A ■16:30-17:00 Business card exchange, individual consultation (only for those who wish)
