Fujitsu and Yaqumo have moved from theoretical studies to live hardware validation of Fujitsu’s STAR architecture on Yaqumo’s ytterbium neutral-atom QPUs. This phase, which began in August 2026, seeks to optimize qubit efficiency and error correction capabilities to support a commercial, fault-tolerant system target by fiscal 2027.

  • According to GN technics/hardware (en-US), the collaboration specifically targets Yaqumo’s ytterbium-based neutral-atom systems, aiming to achieve error correction and a scale of several hundred qubits by fiscal 2027. The companies note that the all-to-all connectivity of this modality offers a distinct advantage for efficient error correction compared to superconducting alternatives.
