AIST, NPL Partner to Advance Quantum Technology Development

The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) have formalized a collaborative agreement to advance the development of quantum technology. This partnership leverages AIST’s National Metrology Institute of Japan (NMIJ) and the Global Research and Development Centre for Business by Quantum-AI Technology (G-QuAT) to focus on the practical realization of quantum technologies and enhance their industrialization. G-QuAT will collaborate closely with NPL to progress quantum computing and establish measurement standards, contributing to international standards for quantum metrics and benchmarking. This collaboration aims to bridge innovative research with commercial application in the rapidly evolving field of quantum technology.
