Osaka University, Fujitsu Limited, Systems Engineering Consultants Co., Ltd. (Sec) and Tis Inc. (TIS) today announced the launch of an open source operating system (OS) for quantum computers on Github. Open quantum toolchains for operators and users (OQTOPUS) OSs are expected to deliver practical quantum computing that can be customized to meet individual user needs.
Previously, universities and businesses seeking to make quantum computers accessible via the cloud had to develop a wide range of software independently to enable cloud-based operations. By providing this open source OS, our research partners have lowered the barrier to deploying quantum computers in the cloud by covering everything from setup to operation.
Furthermore, the quantum computing cloud service provided by Osaka University will begin to integrate with Oqtopus operations, and Fujitsu Limited will use its quantum computers to make it available to research partners in the second half of 2025.
Going forward, the research team will drive advances in quantum computing through the continuous expansion of Oqtopus’ capabilities and the development of a thriving global community. “This will promote the standardization of a variety of quantum software and systems while driving the creation of innovative quantum applications,” says Dr. Fujii, of the Center for Quantum Information and Quantum Biology (QIQB) at Osaka University.
