AIST and ORCA partner on industrialising scalable photonic quantum computing
The organisations have signed a memorandum of understanding to strengthen their collaboration, and plan to advance photonic quantum computing for integration into hybrid quantum-classical datacentres
The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) and ORCA Computing have announced that they have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to strengthen collaboration for the industrialisation of scalable photonic quantum computing.
Combining the capabilities of the Global Research and Development Center for Business by Quantum-AI Technology (G-QuAT) with ORCA Computing’s photonic quantum technology and systems engineering, the partnership aims to advance state-of-the-art scalable photonic quantum computing for integration into hybrid quantum-classical datacentres.
Through the collaboration, the organisations plan to explore addressing key system engineering and scalability challenges with a focus on reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAS) characterisation, hardware-level integration with classical computing, and system software optimisation for hybrid quantum-classical performance.
AIST and ORCA Computing expect their strengthened collaboration to play a pivotal role in promoting the industrialisation of scalable photonic quantum computing, accelerating the transition from research to large-scale deployment, and promoting the development of the next-generation computing market.
