TOKYO -- The government-backed Development Bank of Japan is investing $3.5 million in U.S. quantum computing startup Qolab, aiming to help bring the technology to market and cultivate a next-generation tech industry at home.
Qolab was founded in 2022 by a team that includes John Martinis, a former Google engineer who led the team that first demonstrated quantum supremacy, or the ability of a quantum computer to outperform a classical supercomputer on a particular task.
