Sign Memorandum of Cooperation
Jointly explore the field of quantum research and cultivate quantum computing professionals
Australian National University(referred to as ANU) and the global digital transformation leaderFujitsu Australia Limited(referred to as Fujitsu) recently signed a cooperationmemorandum.
ANU and Fujitsu will join forces to establish at the ANU Research School of Physicsa world-class quantum research facilitywithon-site quantum computers. Professionals, researchers, scholars, and students from related industries and government agencies in Australia will soon be able to witness the world-class quantum research facility.

At the same time, both parties proposed a series of long-term visions on how to seize the future opportunities of quantum technology through cooperation, and to put quantum technology into practice and application to benefit local organizations and global society.
This memorandum implements Australia'sNational Quantum Strategy, aiming to promote local innovation and talent development in the field of quantum technology.
The cooperation includes:
1
Fujitsu will provide ANU researchers and scholars with Fujitsu's advancedquantum systems and simulators.
2
To support ANU's ongoing research and development, consolidate ANU's continuous development of the latest cutting-edge quantum technologies, and drive further innovation, Fujitsu plans to release, in collaboration with RIKEN, by March 2025a 256-qubit quantum computer, and in the fiscal year 2026a 1000-qubit quantum computer*.
3
At ANUestablish an on-site quantum computer, to help Australian researchers, government, and industry professionals strengthen their expertise in quantum computing, provide professionals with access to local emerging technologies, and offer the tools needed for advanced research in cryptography, materials science, and quantum simulation.
4
ANU will also developeducational modulescentered on Fujitsu's quantum technology, to enhance research and training in quantum computing.
*Fujitsu's fiscal year ends on March 31
ANU Vice-Chancellor (Research and Innovation)Professor Lachlan Blackhallsaid: 'This cooperation with Fujitsu adds momentum to enhance ANU's advantages in quantum optical physics and quantum algorithms, and strengthens one of ANU's missions: to advance higher education in emerging technologies including quantum computing, and to promote the growth of Australia's quantum computing talent pool.'
'On a deeper level, this innovative cooperation and the series of work it undertakes will help enhance the country's support and attention to fundamental quantum physics, which is crucial for subsequently exploring and utilizing research potential, and applying research results to the real world.'
