Hamamatsu Photonics accelerates development toward the industrialization of quantum computers 2025/08/06 Hamamatsu Photonics K. K. Headquarters: 325-6, Sunayama-cho, Chuo-ku, Hamamatsu City, Japan President and CEO: Tadashi Maruno Hamamatsu Photonics has been selected for a project called "Development of Post 5G Information Communication Systems / Accelerating the Development of Quantum Computers toward Industrialization" as part of the " Research and Development Project of the Enhanced Infrastructures for Post-5G Information and Communication Systems" run by NEDO, Japan. The aim is to develop an ultra-high-speed camera and other related devices for quantum computers. Hamamatsu Photonics has been selected for a project called "Accelerating the Development of Quantum Computers toward Industrialization" as part of the "Research and Development Project of the Enhanced Infrastructures for Post-5G Information and Communication Systems". This project is run by NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization), which serves as a national research and development agency in Japan. Over a three-year period, from 2025 to 2027, Hamamatsu Photonics will develop an ultra-high-speed camera, a high-resolution, high-sensitivity camera, and a high-resolution spatial light modulator, as well as the related technologies essential for quantum computing (*). Quantum computers are an important computing platform technology capable of solving large scale computational problems that are impossible to solve with conventional technologies. With the potential to bring about a new industrial revolution, we are now seeing large-scale investments in quantum computers being made around the world. This has led to an acceleration toward their industrialization and commercial use driven by several startups in related fields. A variety of cutting-edge techniques have been proposed to build quantum computers, such as the neutral atom approach, trapped-ion approach, and photonic approach. Many companies are boosting their development in response. Under these circumstances, NEDO is calling for applications to join the "Accelerating the Development of Quantum Computers toward Industrialization" project, aiming to be the first in the world to industrialize quantum computers. This project includes the development of quantum computer systems using various approaches by private s...
