Quantum Datacenter Alliance formed by Cambridge company to ‘accelerate maturity of industry’
Cambridge-based Nu Quantum has brought together leading companies to create a forum on data centre-scale quantum computers.
The participants of the Quantum Datacenter Alliance (QDA) represent different layers of the quantum computing stack.
They are:
- Cisco, worldwide technology leader
- Nu Quantum, networking for distributed quantum computing
- NTT DATA, information technology and data centre services
- Oxford Quantum Circuits, superconducting quantum computing
- QphoX, Quantum interfaces to enable networked quantum computation
- Quantinuum, trapped ion quantum computing from Cambridge-based company
- QuEra, neutral-atom quantum computing.
By collecting complimentary perspectives from across the ecosystem, the Quantum Datacenter Alliance becomes “an open community to discuss the opportunities and challenges on the road to building large, scalable, and robust quantum computing services”.
Simon Phillips, CTO at Oxford Quantum Circuits, said: “As the first in the world to deploy a quantum computer into a colocation data centre, OQC are incredibly excited to be a part of the QDA initiative.
“For quantum computing to truly begin unlocking transformative business value, it cannot work in isolation: continuing to utilise the infrastructure of data centres will be critical in shaping the future of the quantum industry.”
Carmen Palacios-Berraquero, CEO at Nu Quantum, said: “We are proud to found the QDA with some amazing partners. The interactions we have had with other members have been incredibly enlightening and underline the importance of cross-industry discussion to accelerate the maturity of the quantum computing industry. We look forward to welcoming more members and associates to accelerate the industry further.”
