TOKYO — Japan will cooperate with the U.K. to create international standards for quantum technology, aiming to help their companies seek opportunities in a field where China and the U.S. are spending heavily in a bid for leadership.
Minoru Kiuchi, Japan’s state minister for science and technology policy, will meet with British counterpart Patrick Vallance in the U.K. on Monday to sign the countries’ first memorandum of understanding on quantum technology, which has economic and national security implications.
