Summary
Infleqtion supplied the quantum processing unit for Shunkai, Japan’s first operational full-stack neutral-atom quantum computer, launched with Professor Kenji Ohmori’s team at the Institute for Molecular Science.
Shunkai is expected to start with about 50 qubits and scale to roughly 500 as development progresses, marking a shift from research work to an operational platform.
The Moonshot project’s next phase, which began in April 2026, will focus on system integration, stability and scalability to build a fault-tolerant neutral-atom machine with up to 10,000 physical qubits.
The system is also slated to open to external users, supporting application development and quantum error-correction research across academia and industry.
