Integrated Quantum Network Node using Chip-based Qubit Devices

Objective

Computer networks have had a profound impact on humanity, fundamentally changing our everyday lives. Akin to these ‘classical’ networks, quantum networks will distribute quantum information, thereby leveraging unique quantum advantages for applications which provably outperform any classical approach. The mission of Delft Networks is to develop the technology and services that unlock the large societal and economic potential of general-purpose quantum networks. Building on world-leading research and a strong IP foundation, InQubate will position us to execute proof-of-concept use-case demonstrations that link to concrete user demands and that use scalable technology. To reach this stage, we will build a full-stack integrated quantum networking node using chip-based networking qubits. Reconfigurable optical links between its qubits will enable its use as a development and use-case testbed for various relevant network topologies. In doing so, we will exploit our recent breakthroughs in diamond networking qubits, optical device packaging, and quantum network software architectures, and push these to TRL6 at system level. In conjunction, our business objective aims to translate well-known conceptual advantages of quantum connectivity to concrete use-cases that create real value for industry and society. We will achieve this by combining expertise in application protocol development with connections to relevant industry, providing a bespoke application co-development process. Achieving the tech objective will provide a complete system to engage with end-users in co-developing solutions that create value, while the outcomes of the use-case work will provide continued feedback to steer tech development to the needs of end-users. Achieving the objectives will allow us to capitalize on our innovations and expertise, unlocking future markets and investments, and will provide Europe with a leading industry player in this emerging strategic market.
