RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS) and Singapore's National Quantum Computing Hub (NQCH) signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on hybrid quantum-HPC platforms. The partnership combines RIKEN's HPC capabilities with Singapore's expertise in hybrid quantum-classical computing and middleware development.

The MoU, effective for three years, aims to advance applications in computational biology, finance, and logistics. R-CCS is developing a quantum-HPC hybrid platform that combines the Fugaku supercomputer with two commercial quantum computers. The agreement was signed during the 8 R-CCS International Symposium in Osaka, Japan.
