IBM and RIKEN Unveil First IBM Quantum System Two Outside of the U.S.
IBM's next-generation quantum computer, now online in Japan, is also connected to the supercomputer Fugaku to accelerate quantum computational power and accuracy KOBE, Japan, June 23, 2025 /CNW/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) and RIKEN, a national research laboratory in Japan, today unveiled the first IBM Quantum System Two ever to be deployed outside of the United States and beyond an IBM Quantum Data Center. The availability of this system also marks a milestone as the first quantum computer to be co-located with RIKEN's supercomputer Fugaku — one of the most powerful classical systems on Earth. This effort is supported by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), an organization under the jurisdiction of Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI)'s "Development of Integrated Utilization Technology for Quantum and Supercomputers" as part of the "Project for Research and Development of Enhanced Infrastructures for Post 5G Information and Communications Systems." IBM Quantum System Two at RIKEN is powered by IBM's 156-qubit IBM Quantum Heron, the company's best performing quantum processor to-date. IBM Heron's quality as measured by the two-qubit error rate, across a 100-qubit layered circuit, is 3x10 -3 (with the best two-qubit error being 1x10 -3) — which is 10 times better than the previous generation 127-qubit IBM Quantum Eagle. IBM Heron's speed, as measured by the CLOPS (circuit layer operations per second) metric is 250,000, which reflects another 10x improvement in the past year, over IBM Eagle. At a scale of 156 qubits, with these quality and speed metrics, Heron is the most performant quantum processor in the world. This latest Heron is capable of running quantum circuits that are beyond brute-force simulations on classical computers, and its connection to Fugaku will enable RIKEN teams to use quantum-centric supercomputing approaches to push forward research on advanced algorithms, such as fundamental chemistry problems. The new IBM Quantum System Two is co-located with Fugaku within the RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS), Japan's premier high-performance computing (HPC) center. The computers are linked through a high-speed network at the fundamental instruction level to form a proving ground for quantum-centric supercomputing. This low-level integration allows RIKEN and IBM engineers to develop parallelized workloads, low-latency classical-quantum communication protocols, and advanced compilation passes and libraries. Because quantum and classical systems will ultimately offer different computational strengths, this will allow each paradigm to seamlessly perform the parts of an algorithm for which it is best suited. This quantum computer expands IBM's global fleet of quantum computers, and was officially launched during a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 24, 2025, in Kobe, Japan. The event featured opening remarks from RIKEN President Makoto Gonokami; Jay Gambetta, IBM Fellow and Vice President of IBM Quantum; Akio Yamaguchi, General Manager of IBM Japan; as well as local parliament members and representatives from the Kobe Prefecture and City, METI, NEDO, and MEXT. "The future of computing is quantum-centric and with our partners at RIKEN we are taking a big step forward to make this vision a reality," said Jay Gambetta, VP, IBM Quantum. "The new IBM Quantum System Two powered by our latest Heron processor and connected to Fugaku, will allow scientists and engineers to push the limits of what is possible." "By combining Fugaku and the IBM Quantum System Two, RIKEN aims to lead Japan into a new era of high-performance computing," said Dr. Mitsuhisa Sato, Division Director of the Quantum-HPC Hybrid Platform Division, RIKEN Center for Computational Science. "Our mission is to develop and demonstrate practical quantum-HPC hybrid workflows that can be explored by both the scientific community and industry. The connection of these two systems enables us to take critical steps toward realizing this vision." The installation of IBM Quantum System Two at RIKEN is poised to expand previous achievements by RIKEN and IBM researchers as they seek to discover algorithms that offer quantum advantage: the point at which a quantum computer can solve a problem faster, cheaper, or more accurately than any known classical method. This includes work recently featured on the cover of Science Advances, based on sample-based quantum diagonalization (SQD) techniques to accurately model the electronic structure of iron sulfides, a compound present widely in nature and organic systems. The ability to realistically model such a complex system is essential for many problems in chemistry, and was historically believed to require fault-tolerant quantum computers. SQD workflows are among the first demonstrations of how the near-term quantum computers of today can provide scientific value when integrated with powerful classical infrastructure. About RIKEN RIKEN is Japan's largest research institute for basic and applied research. Over 2,500 papers by RIKEN researchers are published every year in leading scientific and technology journals covering a broad spectrum of disciplines including physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, and medical science.

As 1st office-to-hotel conversion opens in downtown Calgary, what's next for revival bid?
Social Sharing On Thursday, a former office tower in Calgary's downtown reopened as the Element Calgary Downtown hotel, marking the city's first completed office-to-hotel conversion under its downtown office conversion program. For officials who have spent years plotting the program, it's not just about the hotel, which sports 226 rooms, along with a rooftop bar. More than that, officials say it represents an important step on a long journey to diversify the downtown, providing more things for people to do in the core than just go to work. "For us, it's pretty exciting," said Thom Mahler, the director of the city's downtown strategy, in an interview. "If you remember going back to 2014, 2015, a lot of stuff we talked about then at that time was how our downtown was heavily reliant on one industry, very focused on head office and office space." It's a notable moment in the ongoing plan to reinvent Calgary's hollowed-out downtown core. But there's still a long road ahead, as many approved projects remain unfinished and vacancy rates remain high. Still, for Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek, it's the sort of project she feels the city should have acted quickly on when the energy sector was in dire straights 10 years ago. "It took us a lot of time, because we had so many cynics who said, you can't do anything but office downtown. And to those cynics, I say, you were wrong," Gondek said. "We proved out that you can do things differently." Open for business (and residential and hospitality) Calgary's downtown problem did start in earnest in 2015, after the price of oil crashed. At that time, an office-leasing principal at Avison Young told Bloomberg News it was a "bloodbath." The COVID-19 pandemic five years later only made things worse. Today, while the bleeding may have been slowed, recovery remains a work in progress. Industry figures vary, but as of the first quarter of 2025, about 30.2 per cent of Calgary's downtown office space was vacant, down from a peak of 33.8 per cent in the second quarter of 2022, according to the real estate firm CBRE Canada. Meanwhile, overall Class AA real estate — sometimes referred to as "trophy buildings" — was around 17 per cent vacant. But whether that overall number sits at 33 per cent or 28 per cent or anywhere in between, it still represents a big chunk of vacant office space in the downtown core, said Greg Kwong, CBRE's executive chair for Alberta. "The average person goes, 'Oh, that's too bad.' But they don't understand that a lot of the tax revenue the city needs from property taxes in the downtown core just isn't available right now. That's a concern," Kwong said. "At the same time, it's also indicative of the work-from-home issue that every country, quite frankly, and every city are dealing with." 'Baby steps' From Kwong's vantage point, the whole city is hoping this program will help with its vacancy problem. But up to this point, it's been "baby steps." "Of the buildings that originally got approved for this grant, only a handful have been completed," he said. "So, it's still early stages … it's slower than everyone's anticipated, but through no fault of anyone. It's COVID, and the rise in construction costs." So far, of 11 original approved projects, three have been completed: the Element Hotel, and two office towers converted into residential buildings, The Cornerstone and the HAT at Eau Claire. Five more are expected to open later this year. There were also 10 projects recently announced by the city with locations yet to be announced, supported by the federal Housing Accelerator Fund. There are also separate incentives available for office demolition projects and for post-secondary institutions. In April, it was announced that the University of Calgary's campus would expand into a space on Seventh Avenue S.W. in what was formerly known as the Nexen Building. The demolition incentive has also seen one project approved. WATCH | University of Calgary School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape moving into the former Nexen Building: Can filling this office building revive Calgary's downtown? 2 months ago Duration 10:59 The University of Calgary is moving its School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape into the former Nexen Building, an office tower that has sat virtually empty for about six years. Many believe the project has all the elements the city needs to cement its downtown revitalization efforts. The CBC's Helen Pike looks into how a project that will bring 1,200 students downtown will or won't move the needle. As it set out in its plan, Calgary aimed to remove six million square feet of office space from the downtown by 2031. Mahler said that target is still the goal. That figure was chosen based on a model that suggested doing so would stabilize property values and see the remaining office buildings go back up in value. "We're almost halfway there. But on a regular basis, we're talking to other investors who are coming into the Calgary market, some from external, some are just existing developers," he said. "We're looking at the buildings that are left, and [asking], what can we do with them?" Challenges remain At the same time, Mahler acknowledged that challenges remain, particularly around health and safety concerns in the core. He said the city is committed to creating a more active and livable downtown that draws people in not just during weekday office hours, but during evenings and weekends too. "If you hadn't come down for 15 years, you'd see a very different downtown. You see a downtown that's much more lively in the evenings and on weekends, which is what we are starting to see," he said. Still, there's "no one panacea" that can solve this issue, according to Kwong with CBRE. "I think the city and the business community, everybody has to be pulling on the levers," he said. And he added that it's still going to take considerable time before it's possible to get the vacancy down to a more reasonable 10 to 12 per cent rate. "I really don't see it coming down from 30 per cent to 10 per cent in the next five years, for sure. But I see a trend of vacancy rates dropping," he said.
