Both investments are firsts in quantum computing hardware for their respective firms. Yaqumo previously raised from Quantonation and Alumni Ventures. The new backing is intended to deepen ties with Japanese government institutions, explore manufacturing and mobility applications with Toyota, and accelerate commercialization of neutral-atom quantum computers originating from Japan. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
