Through a collaboration with Microsoft, Photonic demonstrates distributed quantum entanglement

Опубликовано 30 мая 2024, 13:01

In November 2023, Microsoft and Photonic initiated their collaborative effort to advance quantum networking and computing. Today, Photonic announced the capability to successfully transfer quantum information between two physically separated qubits in a point-to-point connection using photons at telecom wavelengths.

In a span of only six months, Photonic was able to achieve this significant scientific milestone on the path to a quantum internet, thereby accomplishing the first of our three collaborative goals and putting theory into practice.

Notably, this accomplishment demonstrates that existing telecommunication networks have the potential to enable long-distance quantum communications—the foundation for a quantum internet and distributed quantum computing.
