Mitsuhisa Sato is the Division Director of Quantum HPC Hybrid Computing Platform Division in RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS) since 2023. He received the M.S. degree and the Ph.D. degree in information science from the University of Tokyo in 1984 and 1990. From 2014 to 2020, he was working as a team leader of architecture development team in FLAGSHIP 2020 project to develop Japanese flagship supercomputer, Fugaku. He was appointed to be the Deputy Director of R-CCS from 2018 to 202. Since 2023, he has been a Professor of Juntendo University, and Professor Emeritus of University of Tsukuba.
Presentation Title:
JHPC Quantum platform and applications for Quantum-HPC hybrid computing
Presentation Abstract:
We are conducting the JHPC Quantum project to design and build a quantum–supercomputer hybrid computing platform by integrating multiple on-premises quantum computers — namely, an IBM superconducting quantum computer and a Quantinuum trapped-ion quantum computer—with several supercomputers, including Fugaku and GPU-based systems. Our platform is now in operation and is providing services to test users of our test user program. We expect a wide range of outcomes from QC–HPC hybrid computing using this platform. In this presentation, the overview and current status of the JHPC Quantum project, along with our perspective on quantum–HPC hybrid computing.
