quantum networking technology

Toshiba Europe has secured a UK government contract to develop technology for commercial quantum networks. The project brings together BT and Colt Technology Services. The partners will develop and test systems for long-distance quantum connections. Their work aims to make quantum networks easier and cheaper to expand. Innovate UK awarded the contract through its Enabling Commercial Quantum Networking competition. The agency operates under UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). The competition represents a combined £20 million investment in the UK’s quantum technology sector. It supports companies developing equipment and systems for commercial quantum networks. The programme also supports the UK’s ambition to strengthen its position in quantum technology. Toshiba’s project will help develop the systems needed for wider network access. Its focus is to move quantum communications beyond research settings. The goal is to build networks that can serve more locations and users.
