Nippon Electric Company (NEC) has formally discontinued its research and development endeavors focused on quantum computer hardware. While the company ceased the development of physical devices in March of this year, it remains active within the quantum computing sector. As a trailblazer in this field, NEC once reached numerous significant milestones. This strategic shift is primarily driven by the prolonged pressure on returns associated with hardware R&D. Moving forward, NEC will pivot towards the integrated application of quantum computing technologies alongside other services. The company will also persist in advancing the development of quantum annealing technology and investigate the potential for simulating quantum computing workloads on conventional computers, aiming to strike a balance between R&D expenditures and the commercialization journey.
