About
LQUOM, formerly QWAVE Dynamics, is a Japanese quantum communication company founded in 2020 as a spin-out from Yokohama National University's Horikiri Laboratory. It develops long-distance quantum communication technologies, including the quantum repeaters needed to realize the quantum internet. The company holds all the elemental technologies for quantum repeaters: quantum entanglement generators, quantum memory, wavelength conversion, and frequency stabilization. In 2024, LQUOM commercialized the LQ-PS-100, a cavity-integrated two-photon entangled light source. In February 2025, it signed a joint research agreement with Quantinuum, Keio University, SoftBank, Mitsui & Co., Mitsubishi Electric, and Yokohama National University to work toward deployable and scalable quantum information processing. The company was selected by NEDO for post-5G research and has raised $3.36M in Series B funding from SBI Investment, ORIX Capital, Bio Sight Capital, Anritsu, and SMBC Venture Capital.
