•Japan's New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) is funding RIKEN to develop a 'JHPC-quantum GPU Supercomputer' named ROQUO.
•ROQUO is envisioned as a hybrid system, combining high-performance classical GPU computing with quantum computing capabilities.
•This initiative highlights the growing trend towards integrating classical supercomputing power with nascent quantum technologies for advanced research and applications.
•France's GENCI has acquired an 18-cat-qubit quantum computer from Alice & Bob, marking the world's first state acquisition of error-biased cat-qubit technology.
•The system will be integrated with France's Joliot-Curie and later Alice Recoque exascale supercomputers at CEA's TGCC, creating a low-latency hybrid HPC-quantum infrastructure.
•Alice & Bob's cat-qubits natively suppress bit-flip errors, significantly reducing the overhead for quantum error correction (up to 200x) and accelerating the path to fault-tolerant quantum computing.
