CEO’s comments
LQUOM has been advancing hardware development toward the implementation of long-distance quantum communication and quantum repeaters, which form the foundation of the quantum internet.
We are deeply honored to have our efforts in the previous STS phase recognized and to be selected for the PCA phase in this round.
Through this grant, we will enter the next phase toward the practical realization of quantum repeater systems and further accelerate our development toward a “quantum society” premised on the quantum internet.
