Invitation

Quantum computing is an emerging technology based on completely different principle from classical computers, the laws of quantum mechanics. Quantum computing has the potential to solve many hard problems of industrial importance that classical computers cannot handle efficiently. In the summer of 2021, IBM announced a commercial quantum computer with 27 qubits, “IBM Quantum System One”, at the Kawasaki Business Incubation Center (KBIC), Kawasaki City. In Nov 2023, IBM deployed the 127-qubit IBM Quantum Eagle processor to System One for further performance, which is now in operation for industrial and academic research of quantum computing in Japan.

Taking the opportunity of IEEE WCCI 2024, IBM cordially invites you to join the technical tour of IBM System One at KBIC. In the technical tour, you can see a real quantum computer and a mock-up that visualizes its structure through a glass window and watch demo movies, followed by technical Q&A session. We recommend this tour especially to those who are interested in how quantum computers can impact their own research in the near future.
