"This is not even a question of complex containerisation orchestration techniques driving multi-cloud servers powering parallelised concurrency threads into some form of esoteric abstracted computing layer. So then, just how deep is the technology innovation going on here? In fact, this is light-based photonics now evolving to create optical quantum computers and the next era of NTT's own development that it channels to its Innovative Optical and Wireless Network (IOWN) Initiative, including its application to optical quantum computing."
"Entering the lab facilities, working demo areas and press conference halls of NTT R&D Forum 2025 in the Tokyo district of Musashino now feels familiar in some ways, yet this year there are quantum-level developments afoot (both figuratively, literally and technically) because the company has themed this year's event IOWN: Quantum Leap following the United Nations' designation of 2025 as the "International Year of Quantum Science and Technology"."
"The Japanese government has also designated 2025 as the first year of quantum industrialisation. It is perhaps no surprise that NTT invests over $3 billion annually in its global R&D initiatives, which equates to about thirty percent of its total profit. NTT used this year's R&D Forum event to once again showcase its recent breakthroughs in its IOWN Initiative, which aims to build an advanced communications infrastructure with optical photonics technologies, achieving ultra-high capacity, ultra-low latency and ultra-low power consumption."
NTT is evolving its platform development toward light-based photonics and optical quantum computing within the IOWN Initiative. The company invests over $3 billion annually in global R&D, representing about thirty percent of its total profit. The IOWN Initiative aims to build an advanced communications infrastructure using optical photonics to achieve ultra-high capacity, ultra-low latency, and ultra-low power consumption. NTT themed R&D Forum 2025 "IOWN: Quantum Leap" coinciding with the United Nations' designation of 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology and Japan's designation of 2025 as the first year of quantum industrialisation. NTT and OptQC signed an agreement to collaborate on realisation of scalable and reliable optical quantum computers.
