Welcome to the Quantum News Daily Brief. Story 1: RIKEN ROQUO Supercomputer Shows What Hybrid Quantum Computing Actually Needs. RIKEN’s ROQUO GPU supercomputer is now operating in Kobe, giving Japan a classical HPC layer for hybrid quantum computing research rather than a standalone quantum breakthrough. Japan’s latest quantum-computing milestone is mostly made of classical hardware. RIKEN’s Center for Computational Science has brought ROQUO, a GPU supercomputer for its quantum-HPC hybrid platfo
