NEC Discontinues Superconducting Quantum Computer Development to Focus on Annealing and Classical Emulation

2026-09-07T08:26:52-07:00

NEC Corporation has ceased its research and development into superconducting quantum computers, shifting focus to quantum-inspired annealing and classical emulation due to long commercialization timelines and high capital investment. This move, reported by Nikkei Asia, means NEC will now concentrate on software and optimization services, leaving Fujitsu as the main domestic corporate developer of superconducting hardware in Japan.
