Cisco advances path to quantum network with universal switch | Computer Weekly
"Cisco's Universal Quantum Switch addresses the challenge of connecting quantum systems by routing quantum information while preserving it, a significant advancement in quantum networking."
"The future of quantum computing will not be built by a single company; it will require the integration of various technologies and systems to create a cohesive network."
"Current quantum computers operate at hundreds of qubits, but real-world applications in sectors like healthcare and finance will demand millions of qubits for breakthroughs."
Cisco has launched the Universal Quantum Switch, a prototype designed to connect quantum systems from various suppliers. The company is working on distributed quantum networks to establish a quantum computing internet by the late 2030s. Current quantum computers are limited, requiring millions of qubits for real-world applications. Networking is essential to bridge this gap. The Universal Quantum Switch can route quantum information while preserving it, translating between different encoding modalities without destroying the information, thus facilitating communication between quantum computers.
