AIST Quantum Computer System F Joins Fixstars Amplify SDK

The addition lets developers run the same optimization problem across different quantum and classical hardware through one interface, making performance comparison and solver selection straightforward on Japan's domestic quantum infrastructure.

AIST Quantum Computer System F Joins Fixstars Amplify SDK

Fixstars Amplify Inc. and AIST's G-QuAT announced that the domestic superconducting quantum computer System F, manufactured by Fujitsu and running on the ABCI-Q infrastructure, is now supported by the Fixstars Amplify SDK. Users can run optimization calculations on System F with minimal code changes by switching the solver specification to OqtopusClient in Amplify Quantum version 1.3.

System F is a superconducting quantum computer built by Fujitsu that forms part of the ABCI-Q hybrid computing infrastructure. It is a commercial machine developed from superconducting quantum computer technology cultivated at RIKEN, currently operating with 64 qubits and designed to be expandable to 256 qubits.

The support arrives through the Amplify Quantum extension library, version 1.3, which added OqtopusClient for the open quantum computing platform OQTOPUS. Existing Amplify SDK code remains usable as is; only the solver specification needs to be changed, a few lines of modification.

G-QuAT and Fixstars Amplify will promote quantum computer utilization in Japan starting with ABCI-Q. A presentation on the ABCI-Q implementation is scheduled at the Information Processing Society of Japan's 205th High Performance Computing Study Group meeting on August 6, 2026.
