Insider Brief
Infleqtion has contributed its quantum processing unit to Japan’s first operational neutral-atom full-stack quantum computer, developed with Professor Kenji Ohmori’s team at the Institute for Molecular Science.
The system, named “Shunkai,” is expected to initially operate with about 50 qubits, with plans to scale to around 500 qubits as development progresses.
The next phase of the Moonshot project will focus on system integration, stability and scalability, with a longer-term goal of developing a neutral-atom fault-tolerant system with up to 10,000 physical qubits.
Press release – Infleqtion (NYSE: INFQ), a global leader in quantum computing and quantum sensing powered by neutral-atom technology, has helped Japan reach a major quantum milestone, supporting a research team led by Professor Kenji Ohmori at the Institute for Molecular Science (IMS), part of the National Institutes of Natural Sciences, in launching the country’s first operational neutral-atom full-stack quantum computer. Infleqtion was also the only foreign quantum partner selected by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) for its Quantum Moonshot program.
