Imagine trying to send a fragile soap bubble through a long pipe; it usually pops before it reaches the end. This technology acts like a specialized holding tank that catches the bubble and releases it perfectly, allowing information to travel much further. It essentially creates a relay system that keeps quantum data alive across a city-wide network.
Quantum information is lost over long distances, and classical signal boosters do not work for quantum data. This prevents the creation of a scalable Quantum Internet for secure communication and distributed computing.
Industry-grade quantum memory links featuring high-efficiency storage and integrated frequency conversion for telecom fiber compatibility.
If you are a secure communication provider dealing with data interception risks — this project developed industry-grade quantum memory links that enable absolutely-secure communications over long distances. This ensures that sensitive data cannot be hacked during transmission.
If you are an infrastructure operator dealing with the inability to link separate quantum computers — this project developed a quantum memory system with 90% storage efficiency that allows for distributed quantum computing. This enables multiple quantum processors to work together as one giant machine.
If you are a network owner dealing with signal loss in quantum data transmission — this project developed integrated frequency conversion to interface with optical telecommunication bands. This allows quantum links to work within existing fiber optic infrastructure.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures are not mentioned; the project is currently funded by a EUR 2,499,375 EU contribution.
The project specifically aims to move from research to 'industry-grade' links and intends to reach TRL6 by integrating the solution into the ParisRegionQCI test-bed.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not provided, but the project is led by WELINQ SAS, an SME focused on translating research into industrial products.
The system includes integrated frequency conversion specifically designed to interface with standard optical telecommunication bands used in current networks.
The project period runs from 2024-04-01 to 2026-03-31, targeting a TRL6 demonstration by the end of this window.
The project is managed by a single-partner consortium consisting of WELINQ SAS, a French SME. This structure indicates a highly streamlined, company-led transition from research to product, with 100% industry participation and no academic overhead, focusing entirely on commercialization and TRL advancement.
