Founded in July 2024, Qubitcore builds on OIST research to integrate ion-trap quantum processors with micro optical resonators to enable high‑efficiency photon–qubit interfaces and multi-module optical connections. The company aims to realize fault-tolerant quantum computers via a distributed quantum computing architecture and holds an exclusive license with OIST signed in July 2025. Its roadmap targets a cloud-accessible quantum computer prototype operating at OIST in 2026, an Early‑FTQC with error‑correction capabilities by 2028, and a second‑generation multi‑QPU optically connected system by 2029. Qubitcore has strengthened its financial position through a ¥1.53 billion seed round led by SBI Investment, following a pre-seed in January 2025, and plans to deploy funds into R&D, partner/validation activities, and hiring. The company operates its headquarters in Yokohama with R&D facilities and labs based at OIST in Okinawa.
