Nanofiber Quantum Technologies, Inc. (NanoQT)

About NanoQT

• Nanofiber Quantum Technologies (NanoQT) is Japan's first quantum computer hardware startup.

• NanoQT is based on the unique technology of the Nanofiber-based Cavity QED (Quantum Electrodynamics) system developed in Japan, and aims to develop a universal quantum computer with distinctive scalability compared to conventional implementation methods. Furthermore, our technologies enable the full integration of quantum computers into quantum communication channels, realizing quantum network

NanoQT Core Technology

• The core technology of NanoQT is the nanofiber-based cavity developed in Japan. This unique cavity has been designed by the principle of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) and produced in an extremely calibrated manner, enabling full integration of atoms and photons in a large scale for quantum computers.

• In physics, this system is a part of the Cavity QED system which has been theoretically investigated for a long time, yet commercialization has not progressed due to challenges in cavity design ideal for quantum computation. NanoQT’s nanofiber-based cavity has overcome these challenges and allows accommodation of a large number of atoms (~10,000) in one cavity and furthermore interconnection of multiple cavities with optical fibers, resulting in a network of quantum computers (distributed quantum computer) Thanks to these advantages, NanoQT’s technologies hold strong promises to develop not only the most scalable quantum computer but also a full integration into quantum communication (quantum network) which the existing methods are difficult to achieve.
