The Potential of Quantum Computers Based on the Neutral Atom Approach

Quantum computers are next-generation computing systems that apply the principles of quantum mechanics—the laws governing the microscopic world—to computation. By harnessing uniquely quantum phenomena such as "superposition" and "quantum entanglement", quantum computers can efficiently solve certain problems that are intractable for even the most powerful supercomputers. This capability is expected to bring revolutionary changes to important fields in modern industry and society, including the development of groundbreaking new drugs through molecular-level simulations, the discovery and design of high-performance new materials, and risk assessment and portfolio optimization in financial markets. Currently, active research and development of quantum computers based on various approaches is underway around the world.

Bringing Quantum Power to Society

01

Excellent scalability

In the neutral-atom-based quantum computer, individual atoms are utilized as "qubits"—the fundamental units of information in quantum computation. The number of individual atoms that can be arranged in a single system can be scaled up from thousands to tens of thousands simply by increasing the power of the laser light used to trap them. Furthermore, a key feature is that the control architecture for qubit manipulation does not significantly increase in complexity with the growing number of qubits. This facilitates easier system-level scaling compared to other quantum computing platforms. As a result, this approach makes it possible to tackle large-scale problems.

02

Long coherence time

Qubits in neutral-atom-based quantum computers have very long coherence times—the duration over which their quantum properties are preserved—compared to the timescales required for gate operations and measurements.
This means that errors caused by the loss of quantum states during computation can be significantly reduced compared to other quantum computing platforms.
Thanks to this excellent property, it becomes feasible to execute large-scale quantum algorithms that require a lot of operations.

03

Flexible Qubit Connectivity

Individual atoms serving as qubits can be dynamically rearranged during computation by utilizing moving optical tweezers. This enables the selective positioning of atoms to induce interactions between any pair of qubits, allowing for arbitrary qubit connectivity. This enables efficient execution of complex quantum algorithms. Moreover, this flexible connectivity is advantageous for implementing various quantum error correction schemes, paving the way for high-precision and large-scale quantum computation.
