IBM and RIKEN debut IBM Quantum System Two in Japan
Tech giant IBM and RIKEN, a national research laboratory in Japan, have unveiled the first IBM Quantum System Two to be deployed outside the US and beyond an IBM Quantum Data Centre. The system, co-located with RIKEN's supercomputer Fugaku, was officially launched on 24 June 2025 in Kobe, Japan. This initiative is supported by Japan's New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) under the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) as part of the "Project for Research and Development of Enhanced Infrastructures for Post 5G Information and Communications Systems." The IBM Quantum System Two at RIKEN is powered by IBM's 156-qubit Quantum Heron processor. IBM Heron boasts a two-qubit error rate of 3x10^-3 across a 100-qubit layered circuit, with a peak two-qubit error of 1x10^-3—ten times better than the previous 127-qubit IBM Quantum Eagle. Additionally, Heron's speed, measured by CLOPS (circuit layer operations per second), is 250,000, marking another tenfold improvement over IBM Eagle in the past year, according to the announcement. RIKEN Center for Computational Science'Quantum-HPC Hybrid Platform Division director Dr Mitsuhisa Sato said: '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.' With 156 qubits, Heron is described as the most performant quantum processor globally, capable of running quantum circuits beyond the reach of brute-force classical simulations. The system is integrated with Fugaku, one of the world's most powerful classical supercomputers, at the RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS). "The computers are linked through a high-speed network at the fundamental instruction level to form a proving ground for quantum-centric supercomputing," enabling the development of parallelised workloads and low-latency communication protocols. This integration aims to leverage the strengths of both quantum and classical systems for advanced algorithm research, including fundamental chemistry problems. The quantum computer joins IBM's global fleet and is expected to build on prior RIKEN-IBM research, such as sample-based quantum diagonalisation techniques used to model iron sulphides, as published in Science Advances. IBM Quantum vice president Jay Gambetta said: '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.' Recently, IBM introduced new software capabilities that integrate AI security and governance, claiming to offer the industry's first unified solution for managing agentic AI risks. These enhancements merge IBM's an end-to-end AI governance platform, with Guardium AI Security, a tool aimed at safeguarding AI models, data, and usage.

Tata Power-DDL, Nissin Electric commission micro substation under Japan's NEDO project
New Delhi: Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited ( Tata Power-DDL ), which serves approximately 9 million consumers in North Delhi, has commissioned a micro substation project in collaboration with Japan-based Nissin Electric Co. Ltd., under a demonstration programme supported by Japan's New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). The initiative is part of the International Demonstration Project on Japan's Energy Efficiency Technologies. A Project Agreement between Tata Power-DDL and Nissin Electric was signed on August 21, 2024. Prior to that, NEDO signed a Letter of Intent with Power Finance Corporation Limited (PFC), a non-banking financial institution under the Ministry of Power, on January 10, 2024. The micro substation is aimed at supplying power to areas where transmission infrastructure exists but the grid is either underdeveloped or absent. The technology uses Pole-mounted Voltage Transformer (PVT) to directly convert high-voltage power from transmission lines to low-voltage power, without the need for a conventional large-scale substation. According to Tata Power-DDL, the micro substation project is designed to meet the requirements of regions with challenging terrains or space constraints. The equipment allows for stable and cost-effective electricity supply to load centres in rural as well as urban areas where grid extension is not viable. Tata Power-DDL stated that the technology enables efficient peak load management during the summer season and reduces the need for diesel-based mini grids in remote areas, thereby offering a lower environmental burden. The system also reduces operational costs, as it does not require generator refuelling or frequent maintenance. The micro substation was officially handed over to Tata Power-DDL and will be monitored for performance metrics such as power reliability, quality, and operational effectiveness. Discussions have begun with power distribution companies in Odisha for further deployment. Site visits and detailed action plans are being prepared as part of the next phase of implementation. The companies aim to replicate the solution in other parts of India, particularly in locations where Tata Power has operational presence outside Delhi.
