Problem
Quantum computing and communication require specialized infrastructure, hindering their integration with existing networks. Securing quantum information transmission over long distances remains a significant challenge due to signal degradation and potential eavesdropping.
Solution
memQ is developing quantum networking technology that leverages erbium ions as qubits integrated with silicon photonics to generate, store, and distribute quantum information. This approach creates an asynchronous optical interconnect compatible with existing C-band telecom infrastructure. By utilizing the same infrastructure used for current data transfer, memQ aims to enhance network security and enable new capabilities through entanglement. The technology facilitates the creation of quantum sensor networks and connections between quantum computer modules, enabling real-world use cases.
