The system starts with about 50 qubits and is planned to scale to roughly 500, with a longer-term goal of 10,000 physical qubits and quantum error detection and correction by March 2031. It will be partially opened to external researchers for application development and error-correction work. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Japan's first full-stack neutral-atom quantum computer is called Shunkai, built by the Institute for Molecular Science with Hitachi and Infleqtion under the Moonshot R&D Program. It began operating with about 50 qubits and is planned to scale to roughly 500 qubits, with a longer-term goal of 10,000 physical qubits and quantum error correction by March 2031. _Track emerging quantum computing hardware milestones like this one on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Infleqtion Helps Launch Japan’s First Operational Neutral-Atom Quantum Computer](https://daily.dev/posts/infleqtion-helps-launch-japan-s-first-operational-neutral-atom-quantum-computer-jjzceevad) · The Quantum Insider · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Hitachi, Intel and AIST Launch Silicon Quantum Computing Project Backed by Japanese Government](https://daily.dev/posts/hitachi-intel-and-aist-launch-silicon-quantum-computing-project-backed-by-japanese-government-mozwtect2) · The Quantum Insider · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Japan Brings Ion-Trap Qubits Online Through The Cloud in a Step Toward Remote Quantum Computing](https://daily.dev/posts/japan-brings-ion-trap-qubits-online-through-the-cloud-in-a-step-toward-remote-quantum-computing-o5o7en910) · The Quantum Insider · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Microsoft Claims 20 Second Qubits](https://daily.dev/posts/microsoft-claims-20-second-qubits-shaxjy2dj) · Hackaday · 2 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#quantum-computing](https://daily.dev/tags/quantum-computing) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/japan-s-full-stack-neutral-atom-quantum-computer-is-operational-lpvrbqhyo) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Japan’s Full-Stack Neutral-Atom Quantum Computer Is Operational","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/japan-s-full-stack-neutral-atom-quantum-computer-is-operational-lpvrbqhyo","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/japan-s-full-stack-neutral-atom-quantum-computer-is-operational-lpvrbqhyo"},"datePublished":"2026-08-24T08:25:54.874Z","dateModified":"2026-08-24T08:26:13.094Z","description":"Japan's Institute for Molecular Science has launched Shunkai, the country's first full-stack neutral-atom quantum computer, developed with Hitachi and...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/982b09ec5f84e8de381fb1fbacc123a1?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/982b09ec5f84e8de381fb1fbacc123a1?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The Quantum Insider","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The Quantum Insider","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/7b14a6b34c1b464c9e8a88d9a0dac951","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/thequantuminsider"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/japan-s-full-stack-neutral-atom-quantum-computer-is-operational-lpvrbqhyo","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"quantum-computing","timeRequired":"PT5M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Quantum Insider","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/thequantuminsider"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Japan’s Full-Stack Neutral-Atom Quantum Computer Is Operational"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/japan-s-full-stack-neutral-atom-quantum-computer-is-operational-lpvrbqhyo#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What is Japan's first full-stack neutral-atom quantum computer and how many qubits does it have?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Japan's first full-stack neutral-atom quantum computer is called Shunkai, built by the Institute for Molecular Science with Hitachi and Infleqtion under the Moonshot R&D Program.
