Summary
We are in the midst of a quantum revolution. Quantum computers will bring unprecedented capabilities to scientists and engineers. Quantum communication networks now stretch for kilometres, enabling unhackable communication protocols. Remarkably, these technologies have evolved independently from one another.
Quantum technologists are well aware of the immense potential of bringing communication and computing together. However, they have been unable to overcome a critical technical challenge: quantum computers and quantum channels operate at vastly different frequency regimes.
We have solved this challenge. Our quantum modem is the first device in the world to implement high-fidelity quantum transduction and bridge the 100,000x frequency gap between the GHz-frequency typical of quantum processors and the THz telecom range. With our modems, quantum information is no longer confined to cryostats and can be routed via optical fibres across vast distances at room temperature.
