One of the most important quantum computing companies in Asia is building out a new state of the art manufacturing facility. And it’s making history in China.
What’s happening:
- Quantum computing company QBoson has officially begun construction of a new factory dedicated to manufacturing photonic quantum computers in Shenzhen, China
Why it matters:
- This is the first facility to ever be built in China for the purpose of producing photonic quantum computers
Going deeper:
- QBoson has publicly stated they are aiming to manufacture dozens of new photonic quantum computers annually at their new facility once it is fully constructed and operational
- QBoson is one of the most advanced quantum computing companies in China and has multiple notable commercial partnerships, including with the Postal Savings Bank of China and China Mobile
The intrigue:
- Quantum computing has been continuing to accelerate throughout Asia lately, with IBM (NYSE: IBM) previously deploying the IBM Quantum System Two in collaboration with Japanese national research agency RIKEN
