QCs in Japan
The Japan Times Online, Japan leading quest for first quantum computer: "NTT Basic Research Laboratories in Atsugi, Kanagawa Prefecture, whose quantum computer research is considered the most advanced in the world, has confirmed the superposition of quantum states -- the coexistence of 0s and 1s in a single quantum bit." The article mentions that the Japanese government does not have enough money to fund quantum computer research, so it will have to be led by corporations, in Japan at least.
