Cisco unveiled a research‑grade Quantum Network Controller that adds a control‑plane layer to distributed quantum systems, allowing applications to request entanglement without needing to manage hardware details. The controller abstracts sources, switches, detectors and timing modules behind a hardware abstraction …
Cisco’s Quantum Network Controller and IonQ’s 1 kHz Entanglement Milestone Drive Quantum Networking Forward
A new control plane for quantum networks is emerging from Cisco. Its research‑grade Quantum Network Controller abstracts hardware complexities, letting applications request entanglement by specifying endpoints, rate, fidelity and timing without needing to manage the underlying devices. The Controller continuously …
IonQ Sets 1 kHz Quantum Interconnect Record as Cisco Unveils Control‑Plane for Scalable Quantum Networks
\n\n
IonQ has demonstrated a breakthrough memory‑enhanced quantum interconnect, achieving entanglement rates of over 1 kHz between a trapped‑ion qubit and a solid‑state quantum memory. This record‑breaking speed—more than four times faster than …
