Driving Practical Realization with Quemix
Quemix, the Q2B26 Tokyo Co-host and Platinum Sponsor, will maintain and strengthen their relationship with the event this year. Quemix is projected to speed quantum technology integration into pharmaceutical, biotechnology, banking, automotive, logistics, and AI industries with essential insights and demonstrations.
President and CEO Yu-ichiro Matsushita said Quemix is excited to co-organize again. “Q2B Tokyo is a venue that brings together the most significant global advancements in quantum technology,” Matsushita told reporters. To give a “closer look at a variety of practical use cases implemented on real quantum devices,” he underlined that their talks will go beyond theory.” Quemix’s presentation of six different commercial use cases, showcasing concrete developments in practical quantum applications, particularly in the automotive and materials industries, will be a major attraction for this year’s program. In an effort to “witness these breakthroughs in person” as the industry advances toward the practical realization of quantum computing, Matsushita extended an invitation to the community to attend.

A Comprehensive Look at the Quantum Landscape
Q2B26’s fundamental tenet is to close the gap between experimental research and practical applications. “Quantum advantage is getting closer every day,” according to QC Ware CEO Matt Johnson, and the Tokyo event will offer useful updates on this development from the top hardware and software engineers worldwide. Attendance at the meeting is “a must” for companies that will unavoidably be influenced by the confluence of AI and quantum computing, he said. Johnson commended the quantum ecosystems of Asia and Japan in particular, calling them “incredibly dynamic and exciting,” and acknowledged the tremendous amount of work being done to create such an innovative environment.
The two-day seminar covers the industry’s most pressing issues. Security, error correction, quantum sensing and communications, and quantum computing and HPC will be covered. The program comprises keynote presentations, business seminars, breakout sessions, technical workshops, and quantum R&D expert panel discussions for a diverse audience.
High-value optimization, chemistry simulations, pharmaceutical and materials discoveries, and hardware and software improvements will be covered. These applications are vital because quantum chemistry and quantum-inspired algorithms are speeding up chemical and medicinal research. The seminar will also show how artificial intelligence and quantum technology are collaborating in industry.
