Scalable Interconnection Links for Modular Quantum Computing Systems

digitalTestedTRL 5

Imagine trying to build a giant supercomputer by connecting several smaller ones together, but the cables can't hold the information long enough. This project creates a high-tech 'waiting room' for quantum data, allowing it to be stored and retrieved perfectly. It acts like a bridge that lets different types of quantum processors talk to each other without losing their data.

The business problem

What needed solving

Current quantum computers are limited to a few hundred qubits, which is insufficient for practical, fault-tolerant use. There is a lack of commercially viable quantum memories to interconnect smaller processors into larger, scalable clusters.

The solution

What was built

A complete quantum memory link consisting of hardware and control software for synchronizing qubits across separate processing units.

Who can put this to work

Pharmaceuticals
enterprise
Target: Drug discovery firm

If you are a drug discovery firm dealing with molecular simulations that are too complex for current hardware — this project developed quantum memory links that enable larger, more powerful quantum computers. This allows for the processing of complex problems currently intractable for classical computers.

Finance
enterprise
Target: Quantitative hedge fund

If you are a quantitative hedge fund dealing with massive industrial optimization and risk modeling — this project developed a turnkey quantum link solution. This enables the scaling of qubits by interconnecting multiple processing units into clusters.

Cybersecurity
SME
Target: Quantum networking provider

If you are a networking provider dealing with the inability to synchronize quantum states between separate processors — this project developed a full-stack solution combining hardware and control software. This allows for the reliable transmission of quantum states between heterogeneous processors.

Frequently asked
