- A major milestone in scaling distributed quantum infrastructure and progressing towards commercialisation
- First industrialised, 19’’ rack-mounted solution that combines a dynamic entangler system and a real-time quantum network orchestrator
- Modular and flexible platform adaptable to different qubit modalities and quantum use-cases
At the heart of a distributed quantum computing system, the QNU brokers entanglement links between multiple quantum processors, enabling them to operate coherently as one, more powerful computer. This modular, networked approach enables quantum systems to scale beyond the physical limits of individual devices.
The QNU is a market-first industrialised instantiation of two essential parts of the distributed quantum computing stack: creating high-fidelity entanglement and time-synchronised control-plane orchestration respectively.
The photonic dynamic entangler system enables the creation of real-time heralded entanglement between photons from any two nodes, in a dynamically-reconfigurable manner thanks to sub-microsecond circuit switching. With less than 3x10-3 Bell-state measurement error introduced by the optical path, the QNU hardware can deliver a maximum of 99.7% entanglement fidelity between remote qubits; hence supporting both high fidelity and high success probabilities.
The QNU features the first industrialised realtime quantum network orchestrator, delivering 300 ns control latency, synchronisation over datacentre length-scales and supporting MHz entanglement attempt rate.
Designed for scalability, modularity and real-world deployment, the QNU marks a critical step in moving quantum networking from lab demonstrations to commercial infrastructure.
