Research theme

Development of quantum repeater utilizing cavity QED

Business Plan

Quantum network combines quantum computing and communication. This project develops core technology, quantum repeaters, using a unique method to set global standards.

Research Outline

This project aims to implement foundational technology for an optical fiber network with absolute security, different from existing information and communication systems, by developing quantum repeaters using cavity QED. To achieve this goal, the following development items are undertaken:

  • Manufacturing of low-loss nano-fiber resonators in the communication wavelength band
  • Development of Yb atom arrays trapped near nano-fiber resonators
  • Implementation of logic gate operations in the communication wavelength band
  • Research on business strategy, regulations, and standardization activities
