QuiX Quantum Partners with Tohoku Electronic Industrial for Exclusive Distribution in Japan

QuiX Quantum Partners with Tohoku Electronic Industrial for Exclusive Distribution in Japan Dutch photonic quantum computing startup QuiX Quantum has executed an exclusive distribution agreement with R&D technology provider Tohoku Electronic Industrial Co., Ltd. (TEI-C). The partnership establishes TEI-C as the authorized sole distributor of QuiX Quantum’s integrated photonic processing hardware across Japan, accelerating local customer access to commercial quantum hardware. Under the terms of the agreement, Sendai-based TEI-C will manage Japanese-language commercial engagement, technical seminars, and first-line support for QuiX Quantum’s flagship hardware suite. This includes the recently launched Alquor 2.0—a 3U rack-mountable programmable quantum photonic processor available in 8-, 20-, and 32-mode configurations—and the Photonic Assembly Control Unit (PACU), a standardized instrumentation layer designed to drive up to 1,000 thermo-optic phase shifters inside high-performance computing (HPC) environments.
