Japan's ROQUO Supercomputer Targets Hybrid Quantum-Classical Workflows
RIKEN's ROQUO GPU supercomputer is now operational in Kobe, serving as a classical high-performance computing layer for hybrid quantum computing research. The system aims to bridge classical and quantum computing rather than deliver a standalone quantum breakthrough. This approach reflects the practical needs of near-term quantum integration.
