A research group, including Project Assistant Professor Kaiji Wei of the Graduate School of Science and Technology at Keio University, Professor Hideharu Amano of the Department of Information and Computer Science, Faculty of Science and Technology at the same university, Ryohei Niwase, a second-year doctoral student in the Degree Programs in Systems and Information Engineering at the University of Tsukuba, and Associate Professor Yoshiki Yamaguchi of the Faculty of Engineering, Information and Systems at the same university, has developed a board capable of performing state-vector quantum computer simulations of 40 or more qubits. This board, which consists of a reconfigurable LSI (FPGA) connected to 32 SATA standard disks, is relatively inexpensive and easy to install, enabling simulations of up to 43 qubits even in environments such as research laboratories.
In December 2023, demonstrations and paper presentations of the developed board are scheduled at the international conference FPT'23 held at PACIFICO Yokohama, KEIO TECHNO-MALL 2023 (the 24th Keio Science and Technology Exhibition) held at the Tokyo International Forum, and the international conference MCSoC 2023 held in Singapore.
