Development of Quantum-Classical Hybrid Use-Case Technologies in Cyber-Physical Space
Supports practical quantum-classical computing applications in materials, manufacturing, logistics, transportation, and network domains.
Development of Quantum-Classical Hybrid Use-Case Technologies in Cyber-Physical Space is NEDO's grant-funded programme for building practical quantum-classical computing applications. It sits under the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization, and its mission is tied to Japan's Vision of Quantum Future Society, which frames quantum technology as a tool for problems classical computing cannot solve alone. The programme runs from FY2023 through FY2027 with a FY2024 budget of JPY1 billion. It funds two linked research strands: development and demonstration of hybrid applications in materials development, manufacturing, logistics and transportation, and network domains; and development of software libraries that optimise quantum-classical algorithms and provide shared operating infrastructure. The record places it in Japan, uses a grant instrument, and limits the technical scope to quantum and AI work at roughly TRL 3 to 6. The strongest fit is a team that can turn a hybrid computing concept into a demonstrable use case with a clear operational setting. Managed by NEDO's Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Department, the programme rewards projects that connect algorithm development to an application domain and an implementation pathway. The published Quantum Computer Compendium of Use Cases reinforces that this is a use-case programme rather than a purely theoretical research line.
