Although the amount raised is undisclosed, the company has stated that the funds will be allocated towards the research and development and commercialization of its ion-trap-based distributed quantum computing system.<\/p>\n<p>Qubitcore is a startup established in July 2024 with the aim of commercializing research outcomes from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST). The company proposes a distributed architecture that incorporates optical resonators into a trap structure that confines ions as qubits, connecting multiple modules via optical fibers. This approach aims to achieve both high-precision quantum computation and scalability, targeting a fault-tolerant universal quantum computer (FTQC).<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s technology is characterized by its ability to interconnect quantum processing units (QPUs) for each module via an optical network, enabling high-speed and highly reliable remote quantum entanglement. According to the release, this design philosophy addresses the scalability challenges faced by existing ion-trap methods and is seen as a differentiating factor from competitors, with a vision to scale beyond 1,000 qubits.<\/p>\n<p>The funds raised will be invested in the prototyping of ion traps with built-in micro-optical resonators, demonstration of photonic links, research and development of efficient quantum error correction, and the initial design and control system development of a quantum computing service platform.<\/p>\n<p>The roadmap outlines the release of a first-generation machine to verify error correction in 2028, a second-generation machine capable of natural expansion beyond 1,000 qubits in 2029, and commercial operation by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>via <a href=\"https:\/\/prtimes.jp\/main\/html\/rd\/p\/000000001.000166227.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">PR TIMES<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Image Credit: Qubitcore Specializing in quantum computing, Qubitcore announced on July 15 that it has completed a pre-seed&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":176,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[49,48,285,61],"class_list":{"0":"post-175","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-computing","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-computing","11":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=175"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=175"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
