Photonic's Entanglement First™ Architecture
Drives Distributed Quantum Computing
Why Distributed Entanglement Matters
For Commercial Quantum Applications
“The crucial role that entanglement distribution will play in unlocking the commercial promise of quantum computing cannot be overstated. Large-scale quantum algorithms running across multiple quantum computers require enormous amounts of distributed entanglement to work well.”
Dr. Stephanie Simmons, Founder and Chief Quantum Officer, Photonic
Entanglement is the key. It’s the foundation that enables quantum systems to perform at their highest potential. Delivering entanglement at a high rate and with exceptional performance is essential for the success of next-generation, large-scale quantum systems. Simply put: entanglement drives everything.
