OptQC is commercializing optical quantum computing developed from the University of Tokyo’s Furusawa laboratory. Its approach combines entangled light, Bell measurements and feedforward operations to implement computation through quantum teleportation. The first MoQuren system began initial operation at AIST in July 2026, while developer tooling and broader availability remain in preparation. Based in Tokyo, Japan.
Record dates use UTC and show when an assessment or clarification was saved. Review dates show the evidence check. Earlier records were recovered from QubitWire’s source history; no earlier score movement is inferred.

Now
OptQC and AIST reported installation and initial operation of MoQuren at AIST’s G-QuAT in July 2026. The joint release identifies stable operation, ABCI-Q integration and developer tooling as continuing work ahead of broader hardware availability.
A company profile may discuss several systems. Capabilities remain attached to the product and conditions named in each source; they do not transfer automatically to related organizations. A verified security relationship has not been attached to this record.
OptQC develops optical quantum computers and runs HIQALI, a program for use-case exploration and industry engagement. The official English site also records its CEO’s participation in a Japan–Australia dialogue on 20 October 2026.
What this establishes—and its limits
Participation in a policy or industry event is not a new hardware benchmark. Product access, initial system operation and future industrial deployment are distinct stages.
Evidence to look for next
Look for the specific system generation, supported operations and access conditions behind each technical claim.

Initial operation is not general public access or fault-tolerant application advantage. Large-scale optical error correction and complete workload performance remain development questions.
The next question to watch
Can the installed system support documented developer access and reproducible hardware experiments?
A research question, not a promised milestone.

Open research questions
Editorial questions for this profile. No reviewed closure decision has been recorded; unanswered questions do not lower the official score.
Open research question
Can the installed system support documented developer access and reproducible hardware experiments?
What evidence would help
A source addressing this question must identify the named system, experiment or deployment, its conditions, measured outcome and remaining limitations. Does the result report errors, circuit depth and a credible classical baseline?
What would resolve it?
An editorial review must explain which part of this question the evidence resolves. A roadmap or an announcement alone does not close it.
No resolved, partial or disputed outcome is asserted without a reviewed transition and its evidence.
Which named system or service can I use under the documented access route?
What evidence would help
Check the current terms for institutional system and partner engagement. Identify the system version, eligibility, restrictions and whether the result used hardware or simulation.
What would resolve it?
Current primary documentation must identify the offering, eligible user and access conditions. An unspecified company-level access claim is insufficient.
No resolved, partial or disputed outcome is asserted without a reviewed transition and its evidence.
Can you access the named system today, and under which plan?
What evidence would help
Provide the source location, relevant product or generation, workload, resource constraints and reported uncertainty. Keep measurements, simulations and announced targets distinct.
What would resolve it?
A source reviewer must map the evidence to this exact scope. Missing disclosure remains unknown; it is not technical failure.
No resolved, partial or disputed outcome is asserted without a reviewed transition and its evidence.
