Waseda University Ventures — WUV — has made a founding funding of 200 million yen in Waseda University’s Nanofiber Quantum Technologies Co., Ltd., in accordance with a information launch translated from the Japanese authentic.
The launch claims that that is Japan’s first gate-type quantum pc {hardware} growth startup and the primary mission funded by the WUV Fund No. 1.
NanoQT is predicated on the nanofiber QED (quantum electrodynamics) resonator invented by Professor Takaro Aoki of Waseda University’s Faculty of Science and Engineering. The variety of qubits that may at the moment be applied in the analysis and growth of quantum computer systems in the world is only some bits to about 100 bits.
The workforce claims the machine is able to attaining roughly 10,000 qubits and will join a lot of models to type a community, making it attainable “to attain an overwhelmingly giant scale.”
NanoQT co-founders: Akihisa Goban CTO, Takao Aoki CSO, Masaru Hirose CEO
Co-founders embrace:
Dr. Takao Aoki Co-founder & CSO (Chief Scientific Officer) : Professor, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Waseda University. At the University of Tokyo, California Institute of Technology, and Kyoto University, he persistently engaged in quantum optics analysis with a view to its software to quantum know-how, and created nanofiber resonator QED know-how at Waseda University. He obtained a doctorate from the University of Tokyo.
Dr. Masaru Hirose Co-founder & CEO (Chief Executive Officer) : Engaged in administration reform initiatives for world corporations for about 7 years on the Japanese department of McKinsey & Company. He holds a PhD in quantum physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He graduated from Keio University Faculty of Science and Technology.
Dr. Akihisa Goban Co-founder & CTO (Chief Technology Officer) : Leading the event of atomic quantum state management know-how with Professor Aoki and its integration into nanofiber resonator QED. Engaged in quantum optics analysis at JILA on the University of Colorado Boulder. He obtained his Ph.D. from Caltech. He graduated from the Faculty of Science, the University of Tokyo.
The launch states: “WUV is newly established with the intention of realizing a worldwide impression from Japan by realizing the breakthrough science of Waseda University Professor Aoki, the world’s top-level co-founder workforce, and the conclusion of a novel nanofiber resonator QED methodology quantum pc. The 200 million yen founding funding in NanoQT, the primary mission of the WUV No. 1 Fund, brings collectively prime researchers in the sector of quantum science from all around the world to create a Japanese-made know-how that surpasses current superconducting strategies and ion lure strategies. We will proceed to help the conclusion of a brand new kind of quantum pc.”
