Lawrence Berkeley National Lab's QUANT-NET testbed is transitioning from experimental stages to practical applications by deploying industry components over a five-kilometer fiber link. The integration of custom ion-trap nodes with quantum frequency conversion to telecom frequencies marks a critical step toward scalable, long-distance quantum networking. This DOE-exclusive facility aims to bridge the gap between research breakthroughs and real-world deployment through active collaboration with industry partners.
QUANT-NET Testbed Deploys Industry Components for Quantum Networks
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s QUANT-NET testbed is advancing quantum networks, deploying industry components to accelerate practical.
Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and ESnet are constructing QUANT-NET, a three-node distributed quantum computing testbed that is the only DOE facility devoted to this emerging technology. The network will distribute quantum entanglement between Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley using 5 kilometers of fiber, enabling collaboration with industry partners to test and deploy their components. This effort builds on significant progress toward scalable quantum networks, including custom-built ion-trap nodes and a modular software platform recently recognized with a best paper award at the IEEE Quantum Week conference. “Berkeley Lab’s expertise and capabilities are a vital component of the nation’s quantum ecosystem and help ensure that breakthroughs can move from experimental stages to practical applications,” said…
