Off the Wire Press Releases CAMBRIDGE, England, June 10, 2026 — Nu Quantum, a leader in distributed quantum computing, today announced new research showing that multi-node quantum networks can be designed to tolerate the complete failure of individual QPUs. The simulations show that on a distributed system with quantum information encoded across the entire network rather than on a single-QPU, catastrophic node failure can become a correctable error. Information encoded across the wider network can still be recovered, so long as the failed node holds only a small fraction of the total error correction code. It also shows that when a replacement node is brought online, logical information can be transferred to it and operations can continue. This work provides techniques for multi-QPU systems to support arbitrary length computations, compared to monolithic platforms which lack these mechanisms to reduce the risk of unrecoverable loss of logical information. “This research offers additional evidence that distributed quantum computing represents a viable approach to achieving fault-tolerant computing at scale. Increasing the size of the quantum code by adding more QPUs to the network simultaneously improves the systems resilience to qubit errors and improves critical system availability,” said Dr. Carmen Palacios-Berraquero, Founder and CEO of Nu Quantum. “While this tolerance is not unconditional, our team’s work indicates that node failures can be suppressed with only a negligible impact on logical error rates. Adding QPUs on a network therefore offers a promising method to achieve even lower logical error rates. Classical Cloud and HPC computing services have for decades exploited elastic modularity to deliver robust, highly available services; this work proves that Quantum can get the same benefits.” The findings also indicate that fault tolerance improves as the proportion of total qubits held on any single node declines, meaning that resilience is enhanced by using
