Quantum Computing has a scaling challenge. Classical Computing has a physics problem. Quantum networking is the solution to both.
We have been inventing the full quantum networking stack — from silicon to applications — to solve real problems in the quantum and classical worlds. Here are the key components of that architecture:
Photonic Entanglement Source Chip: Generates 200M+ entangled photon pairs/second in-chip, with 99% fidelity, at room temperature, over existing fiber, and consumes less than 1mW of power. You don’t have to rip and replace your existing classical network infrastructure to run quantum networks.
A Network-Aware Quantum Compiler: an industry first compiler platform to support distributed quantum error correction, resource plan for distributed quantum computing across heterogeneous nodes, split the quantum algorithms across heterogeneous multiple processors, and schedule those segments for scalable computation.
Two Classical Applications: Quantum Sync and Quantum Alert that solve for decision coordination and verifiable security with provable quantum physics guarantees.
