Cisco and Infleqtion Team Up on Networked Quantum Tech
Infleqtion and Cisco have announced a collaboration to advance networked quantum technology. The two companies will pursue joint research and development focused on connecting, operating, and scaling quantum systems.
Their goal is to explore architectures that link individual devices into distributed networks, making distributed quantum systems a reality. This collaboration marks an important step toward unlocking the full potential of quantum computing.
Cisco's Ramana Kompella, VP and Head of Cisco Research, stated, 'The next major breakthrough in quantum will not come from building bigger isolated machines, but from networking systems together.'
Infleqtion's Pranav Gokhale, Chief Technology Officer, added, 'Achieving the broadest applications of quantum computing will require many quantum systems working together. The path forward is connecting these systems together the same way the internet emerged from connecting many classical computers.'
