Demonstration of Distributed Quantum Entanglement in Photonic Modules

Photonic, a leading player in the quantum computing arena, has reached a significant milestone in the quest for scalable quantum computer systems. While many existing quantum architectures focus on achieving entanglement within modules, Photonic has successfully demonstrated quantum entanglement between modules. This breakthrough paves the way for scalable entanglement distribution, a crucial element for the advancement of quantum computers.

At the core of Photonic's approach lies optically linked silicon spin qubits equipped with a native telecom networking interface. This unique feature allows for seamless integration with the infrastructure and platforms of data centers. By enabling the execution of a remote gate sequence known as the teleported CNOT between silicon-spin qubits located in different cryostats connected by telecom fiber, Photonic is pushing the boundaries of quantum computing capabilities.

"The importance of entanglement distribution in realizing the full commercial potential of quantum computing cannot be overstated," emphasized Dr. Stephanie Simmons, Founder and Chief Quantum Officer at Photonic. "To run large-scale quantum algorithms across multiple quantum computers, a significant amount of distributed entanglement is essential for optimal performance. Our recent demonstrations underscore the potential of our innovative architectural approach in addressing the scalability challenge beyond individual nodes."

Collaborating closely with tech giant Microsoft, including leveraging the Microsoft Azure cloud, Photonic has made significant strides in quantum entanglement research. Through a series of demonstrations culminating in the teleported CNOT gate sequence, the company has successfully established and utilized distributed quantum entanglement—connecting qubits that are not physically adjacent or even located in the same cryostat.

"Our strategic collaboration with Photonic aims to drive innovation in quantum technologies to accelerate scientific discovery," stated Krysta Svore, Distinguished Engineer and Vice President of Advanced Quantum Development at Microsoft. "The recent achievements in entanglement distribution over long distances mark a fundamental capability that propels us closer to the next phase of networked quantum computing."

Renowned quantum technology analyst David Shaw from Global Quantum Intelligence (GQI) commended Photonic's disruptive technology approach, particularly highlighting the potential synergies in quantum communications and networking facilitated by the company's silicon spin qubits with optical photonic interconnects. Shaw noted that the future trajectory towards achieving distributed entanglement at 200kHz with 99.8% fidelity opens up a myriad of applications, setting a new standard in quantum roadmaps that competitors will be compelled to match. This breakthrough is poised to accelerate the quantum computing industry as a whole.
