**Overview of Qubitcore Co., Ltd.**
Qubitcore Co., Ltd. is a startup company originating from Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST), aiming to realize "Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computers (FTQC)."
**Background of Investment**
Quantum computers have the potential to enable complex calculations that were difficult for conventional computers, dramatically accelerating the solution of various social issues faced by humanity, such as drug discovery, new material development, and advanced climate analysis.
Currently, the biggest hurdle to the practical application of quantum computers is the realization of "fault tolerance" to control calculation errors. To perform this error correction, a vast number of auxiliary bits are required to assist the computational bits. Therefore, a conventional method of packing bits into a single device (hardware) had the challenge of not being able to secure the necessary number of bits due to physical limitations.
Qubitcore's unique "optical interconnection technology" connects multiple devices with an optical network and integrates them as one giant computational platform. This realizes a scalable architecture that can secure the "vast number of bits" essential for fault tolerance.
The company's business contributes to the realization of a sustainable society by providing advanced computational capabilities, and significant social contributions are expected from an SDGs perspective. Therefore, the investment from this fund was decided.
