NTT and OptQC have entered into a capital and business alliance agreement aimed at the practical implementation of a fault-tolerant, million-qubit-class optical quantum computer.
Under this alliance, NTT plans to invest in OptQC. The companies will strengthen a medium- to long-term collaborative framework that encompasses not only research and development but also commercialization, use-case development involving user companies, supply chain establishment, and societal implementation.
Through this partnership, they aim to expand their talent pool and R&D infrastructure, thereby accelerating system design and the development of elemental technologies required to realize a fault-tolerant, million-qubit-class optical quantum computer.
By deploying optical quantum computers as a next-generation computing infrastructure in society, the two companies intend to address societal challenges in areas such as finance, manufacturing, drug discovery, new material development, energy optimization, and the advancement of AI.
