Hitachi Partners with Intel and AIST on $NEDO Project to Scale Silicon Quantum Processors

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you make cryogenic packaging, control electronics, 3D interconnect, or quantum software tools, Hitachi just became your customer—they need all four to hit their 1,000-qubit target by 2030, and they're moving fast enough to kill or scale what works. Japan's betting state money on silicon qubits over superconducting, which means the supply chain for that path is now open for contract wins.
