"1on1" is a program that delivers fresh "voices" from key people in finance and business.
This time, it's a 50-minute program to learn about the cutting edge of quantum computing.

We invite Takuya Kitagawa, President and Director of QuEra Computing, to explain everything from the mechanics of quantum computing to its future. He will talk about the "potential for Nobel Prize-level discoveries every day" that quantum computers will realize.
Quantum technology makes it possible to simulate the natural world and accelerates the resolution of human problems such as climate change and the development of new materials. We will also touch on the synergistic effects with AI and its impact on Japan's manufacturing industry.
