Mitsubishi Electric Signs Joint Research Agreement with Six Organizations, Aiming to Achieve Deployable and Scalable Quantum Information Processing
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today it has signed a joint research agreement with Quantinuum K.K., Keio University, SoftBank Corp., Mitsui & Co., Ltd., YOKOHAMA National University, and LQUOM, Inc. Their collaboration aims to enable deployable and scalable quantum information processing by achieving and demonstrating the connection of multiple quantum devices in a practical environment.
Quantum technology is expected to significantly transform information processing in areas such as computing, communication and measurement, which serve as the foundation for scientific and technological advancement. In particular, within the field of computing, it is anticipated that practical quantum computers will emerge in the near future, coexisting with conventional classical computers and heralding their commercial utilization. However, even with the advent of such devices, a single computer will have limited processing capacity and may encounter service disruptions due to malfunctions or maintenance issues. Thus, the ability to connect multiple devices to enhance processing capabilities and enable flexible operation and management is required. Additionally, photons—elementary particles of light—are employed for the transmission of quantum information; these are frequently lost over long-distance connections, an issue which quantum repeating technology is capable of addressing.
The joint research that will result from this collaboration will focus on scalable quantum information processing technologies, including the interconnection of multiple quantum computers. The necessary steps towards the maturation of the technology are intra-site connections, connections between neighboring cities, and a worldwide quantum internet. The research will concentrate on realizing the first two of these.

Mitsubishi Electric's ME Innovation Fund Invests in Carbon Credit Monitoring Startup Archeda
TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today that its ME Innovation Fund has invested in Archeda, Inc., a Japan-based startup that uses satellite data to develop and provide monitoring and analysis tools for carbon credits. The carbon credit system enables companies and other entities to buy and sell greenhouse gas-reduction outcomes (reduced or sequestered volumes) as emissions-allowance credits. This is the eleventh investment that the fund has made to date. As global efforts toward achieving carbon neutrality gain momentum, carbon offsetting has emerged as an effective strategy. Under this concept, companies, etc. strive to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions as much as possible and then compensate for any remaining emissions by investing in sustainable projects that reduce or sequester an equivalent amount of greenhouse gases. In Japan, an increasingly active market is developing for nature-based carbon credits, including activities to manage, conserve and protect the natural environment. The demand for carbon offsets and nature-based credits in Japan is expected to rise significantly with the planned launch of a national emissions trading scheme in fiscal 2027. The scheme, which will apply to companies that emit over 100,000 tons of CO 2 annually, will set a cap on each company's CO 2 emissions and allow them to trade surplus or deficit emissions allowances. However, challenges remain, such as the lack of clarity regarding how credits will be issued, highlighting the urgent need for mechanisms to ensure the trustworthiness of carbon credits.
