RIKEN Activates ROQUO Supercomputer Integrating Quantinuum’s Reimei System and NVIDIA Blackwell Cluster
Summary
Japan’s flagship research institute, RIKEN, has initiated operations for ROQUO, a new hybrid Quantum-HPC supercomputer located at the RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS) in Kobe. Constructed under the Japanese government's JHPC-quantum project, ROQUO connects directly to on-premises quantum hardware—including Quantinuum’s trapped-ion Reimei system installed at RIKEN's campus—and is linked to Japan’s flagship Fugaku supercomputer.
