The Next Compute Paradigm: Where Quantum Meets AI

Quantum is not a standalone field — it is inseparable from AI and the evolution of compute. As hybrid quantum-classical architectures become the default and AI workloads push hardware beyond Moore's Law, industry leaders must rethink infrastructure strategy. NTT's IOWN photonic initiative, room-temperature optical quantum computing, and quantum-safe cybersecurity are not science experiments — they are the next enterprise compute stack. This Strategy Dialogue brings together leaders at the quantum-AI intersection to map the converging roadmap: how evolving compute paradigms will reshape industry, which sectors will see impact first, and what it means for Japan's position as a global technology leader.
