COMPANY PROFILE
Enable practical use of perpetually growing information.
Quanmatic is a spin-out from Waseda University that aims to be an industry leader in advancing the practical application of quantum technology. Quanmatic is developing algorithms based on mathematical methods that directly address hardware technology issues by reducing the number of qubits required and improving the probability of reaching the lowest energy state of the Hamiltonian. In collaboration with a major Japanese semiconductor manufacturer, Quanmatic has achieved the world's first demonstration of manufacturing process optimization using quantum technology in a large-scale semiconductor fabrication plant, and Quanmatic plans a full-scale deployment in April 2024.
