9. QC as a National Strategy National Strategy Quantum computers are attracting significant global attention as a dream new technology, with countries around the world competing intensely in their development. Japanese government settled 2025 as “first year of QC industrialization”. Council for Japan's Growth Strategy incorporated Quantum into “17 Strategic Sectors (❶)” and “6 National Strategic Technology Fields (❷)”. In 2026, upon the launch of the second cabinet, an official directive from Prime Minister Takaichi to METI Minister Akazawa explicitly stated that “150+ trillion JPY in GX investments including optical QC over next decade according to GX2024 vision (❸)”. It is expected to accelerate commercialization of QC through expansion of basic research, national quantum research centers and support for startups.

10. What We Aim to Achieve • Realizing dramatically smart and energy efficient computers than ever before. • Today’s computers consume enormous power and bring a serious risk of accelerating the depletion of energy resources caused by adoption of DX/AI. • Quantum computers are widely expected globally to solve these issues. OptQC aims to revolutionize information technology through an optical approach, an area in which Japan excels. Utilization Optical QC Power Supercomputer/ Data Center Noisy! Heat! Switch!
