Eurofiber and Delft Networks have successfully deployed a closed-loop dark fiber link between Delft and Rotterdam specifically designed to distribute long-lived entangled states over metropolitan distances. This real-world test validates the feasibility of integrating quantum communication protocols into existing carrier-grade infrastructure, addressing critical hurdles like signal attenuation and synchronization that previously confined such experiments to laboratories. The project marks a tangible step toward scaling entanglement distribution beyond short ranges, laying essential groundwork for a future quantum internet.

Eurofiber and Delft Networks link Delft and Rotterdam with quantum fiber

Quantum ZeitgeistOctober 2, 20263 min read

Eurofiber and Delft Networks deploy dark-fiber for Entanglement-Based Quantum Networks Between Delft and Rotterdam, announcing the successful deployment of entanglement-ready dark fiber in a closed loop configuration. This infrastructure tests and validates long-range quantum connections over existing deployed fiber, marking a step toward a future quantum internet.

Eurofiber and Delft Networks have established a closed-loop, entanglement-ready dark fiber network directly linking Delft and Rotterdam. This deployment focuses on distributing long-lived entangled states between quantum memories, testing the potential to augment existing telecom networks for quantum technologies. According to Marc Hulzebos, Innovation manager at Eurofiber, “Our project demonstrates how…
