NanoQT, a Japanese quantum hardware startup, and QuEra Computing, a U.S.-based leader in neutral-atom quantum computing, have announced a collaboration to integrate quantum networking interfaces with neutral-atom Quantum Processing Units (QPUs). The partnership aims to develop a scalable, networked quantum computing architecture, combining NanoQT’s expertise in quantum networking with QuEra’s advanced neutral-atom QPU technology.

The collaboration will focus on designing and implementing an integration testbed to explore the potential of networked QPUs. NanoQT’s quantum networking interface will be tested on QuEra’s hardware platform, enabling the development of distributed quantum computing systems. This initiative seeks to unlock new applications and operational scales for quantum computing, leveraging the strengths of both companies.

The partnership highlights the growing importance of networked quantum architectures in advancing the field. By combining neutral-atom QPUs with quantum networking, the collaboration aims to establish a blueprint for scalable quantum systems.
