Saif Rayyan is the Quantum Computing Evangelist at Fujitsu Research of America, where he leads external engagement around Fujitsu's quantum computing innovation. He works to bring Fujitsu's quantum research to the wider community and to build the academic and industry partnerships transforming research into adoption. He hosts conversations across a broad audience of researchers, engineers, developers, students, business and academic leaders, and policymakers. Saif came to Fujitsu from IBM Quantum, where he was Manager of Quantum Computational Algorithms Research and Lead for Research and Education Partnership Strategy. Before that he was a postdoc and research scientist at MIT, where he led digital learning technology initiatives and workforce development across the boundaries of research, academia and industry. Saif holds a PhD in physics from Virginia Tech and an MBA from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Quantum computers promise to solve problems beyond the reach of even today's most powerful supercomputers. To translate that potential into practical business outcomes, Fujitsu is working closely with industry and academic partners to co-develop quantum-enabled solutions that deliver value today while laying the groundwork to realize the full benefit of quantum computing. In this talk, Fujitsu will highlight the foundations behind this effort, from advances in superconducting qubits, marked by the release of Fujitsu's 256-qubit system in 2026, to a roadmap featuring a 1,024-qubit system and reaching 10,000+ physical (250 logical) qubits by 2030. The session will also explore the enabling technologies behind this roadmap, including Fujitsu's STAR architecture enabling early fault tolerance applications, diamond-spin qubits for future modular quantum systems, and a full software stack leveraging hybrid quantum and high-performance computing
