optical quantum computer
as a sustainable social infrastructure
Optical quantum computers are a next-generation technology that harnesses the power of "light" and "quantum" to enable high-speed, energy-saving, and efficient computation. Conventional quantum computers have the problem that their structures tend to be complicated. However, by using light, a simpler mechanism that can process a large amount of information at once can be realized.

A compact quantum computer that is easy to use as an infrastructure without demanding facility.
The “scalability” of quantum computers means the ability to handle large numbers of qubits efficiently and compactly. Conventional methods present issues associated with increasing scale.

Fast processing
Process large amounts of data at high speed
Quantum teleportation using optical pulses enables efficient quantum manipulation. With this technology, the three varieties of quantum information--analog information, quantum digital information, and logical qubits--are effectively used and executed. This allows large-scale data processing at high speed.
Energy efficiency
Runs at room temperature and saves energy
Conventional technology requires extremely low temperatures to maintain quantum states. This requires large cooling systems, and the huge amounts of electricity are consumed. As systems become larger, energy consumption also increases further, which is a major barrier to practical application.
Meanwhile, the optical quantum computer developed by OptQC operates at room temperature. Since it uses light waves (light pulses), power consumption is low, and scalability and efficiency are achieved with time domain multiplexing (TDM) technology.

Accelerating the practical application of optical quantum computers together with telecommunication industries
OptQC's optical quantum computer realizes cost reduction and performance improvement by using devices that have already been established in the optical telecommunication industry “as they are”.
Utilizing existing devices
By using mature technologies and components in the optical telecommunication field as they are, development costs and time are drastically reduced
High performance and reliability
Devices in the optical telecommunication industry boast high reliability, performance, and growth potential, so stable operation is expected as a quantum computer system
Development with a smaller number of people and lower cost
Since a simple design is possible with few components, system development and practical application with a smaller number of people and lower cost is possible
Easy multi-site deployment
Scalability that can be deployed quickly and over a wide area by utilizing the optical telecommunication technology infrastructure
