Cisco continues to double down on its quantum side hustle, joining up with quantum computing firm Infleqtion to research networked quantum systems.
“The next major breakthrough in quantum will not come from building bigger isolated machines, but from networking systems together,” Ramana Kompella, VP and head of Cisco Research, explained.
“By combining Cisco’s quantum networking leadership with Infleqtion’s quantum platforms, we are developing the communication architecture needed to scale quantum capabilities from standalone devices into resilient, collaborative networks.”
Ultimately, the partnership seeks to pave the way for interconnecting diverse quantum computers, sensors, and related hardware into larger, distributed networks.
“Achieving the broadest applications of quantum computing will require many quantum systems working together," Inflecqtion CTO Pranav Gokhale added.
