NanoQT and QuEra Partner to Pioneer Networked Quantum Architectures with Innovative Quantum Interconnects
Tokyo, Japan & Boston, MA, USA, March 4, 2025 – Nanofiber Quantum Technologies, Inc. (NanoQT), a pioneering quantum hardware startup from Japan, has announced a strategic collaboration with QuEra Computing Inc., a U.S.-based leader in neutral-atom quantum processing. The partnership is focused on developing a scalable, networked quantum architecture by leveraging NanoQT’s proprietary ultra-low loss nanofiber cavity technology as a quantum interconnect, aiming to accelerate the evolution of distributed quantum systems.
The collaboration brings together the complementary strengths of NanoQT and QuEra, with NanoQT providing its proprietary ultra-low loss nanofiber cavity as a quantum interconnect and QuEra offering its neutral-atom QPU technology as the hardware platform. This integrated approach aims to build a robust testbed for networked quantum systems, pushing the boundaries of quantum networking.
We believe that networked QPU architectures will define the next frontier in quantum computing, enabling entirely new applications and operational scales,” said Masashi Hirose, CEO of NanoQT. “Working with QuEra on this project offers us a valuable opportunity to demonstrate the potential of quantum networking in combination with neutral-atom technology.”
Leading the Next Phase of Distributed Quantum Computing
Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the joint initiative will focus on designing and implementing an integration testbed that leverages the advanced neutral-atom QPU platform from QuEra. This platform will facilitate the testing and scaling of NanoQT’s quantum interconnect technology, paving the way for new architectures that support seamless connectivity and qubit communication.
“Our collaboration with NanoQT is a natural step forward in our mission to unlock the full potential of neutral-atom QPUs by enabling scalable, networked architectures,” commented Takuya Kitagawa, President of QuEra. “Through this partnership, we are well-positioned to develop cutting-edge solutions that will drive forward the capabilities of quantum computing.”
