Product Summary

This is a new generation quantum communication device that has evolved from the current mainstream Decoy state BB84. Two quanta are generated at the sender side, one is a true random number and the other is a carrier for C-band transmission. For the use of this model, a distance of 50km from Tokyo is assumed (Tokyo-Tsukuba, Tokyo-Yokosuka), and by using the entanglement exchange option and quantum repeater, which are sold separately (under development, to be expanded in the future), this model can be linked with the same models to achieve global long distance.

Key Features

LQUOM Technology

With the quantum repeater currently under development, we aim to extend the distance and realize the quantum Internet – an expansion of the current Internet.

① Quantum Repeater Development

By placing a quantum repeater in between points, it is possible to extend the communication distance.
(In the same way as 1:1 structure, like a telephone)

② Quantum Internet Construction

When there are more than two quantum repeaters, branching (=routing) becomes possible, as well as transmission over longer distances. Even without a complete quantum computer, as in this model, it is possible to form a network structure by connecting devices. This allows the advantages of the many quantum memories currently being devised to work together. In addition, this enables a combination of the performance of all the devices in distributed quantum computing as if they were a single quantum computer.

To realize such a quantum society, LQUOM is working on developing cutting-edge technologies
