Caltech and AT&T present quantum networks R&D program at Supercomputing17 in Denver

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Journal of Engineering -- The Alliance for Quantum Technologies (AQT), founded by Caltech and AT&T in May 2017 in collaboration with national laboratories and industry partners, is presenting the “INtelligent Quantum NEtworks & Technologies” (INQNET) research program at Supercomputing 2017 in Denver (November 13-16). “The consortium will accelerate progress in quantum science and technologies by bringing together the strengths of government, academia, and industry in a basic science R&D framework,” says Shang-Yi Ch’en Professor of Physics Maria Spiropulu of Caltech.

The INQNET program currently focuses on quantum networks and quantum machine learning. “Quantum networks promise to provide not only ultra-secure communication channels, but could prove critical to developing scalable quantum computing infrastructure,” says, Melissa Arnoldi, president of AT&T Technology Operations.

To this end, the Fermilab quantum network teleportation experiment (FQNET) is being built as part of the INQNET R&D program. “FQNET represents a basic step towards improved entanglement-based networks,” says Cristian Pena, the co-spokesperson …
