[IBM's current 133-qubit quantum computer is usually used with supercomputers to make up for calculation errors.]

Japan's government-backed technology institute will partner with IBM to develop next-generation quantum computers, Nikkei has learned.

The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology and IBM aim to develop a quantum computer with 10,000 quantum bits, or qubits, which would be 75 times more than current quantum computers have. In quantum computing, a qubit is the basic unit of information, just like a binary bit in conventional computers and gives a rough idea of performance.

The most advanced quantum computers currently have 133 qubits.Quantum computers are known for solving problems that are too complex for classical computers.
