Quantum Network Entanglement Chip is Cisco's foundation for quantum networks

Cisco has unveiled its Quantum Network Entanglement Chip, which aims to revolutionize the way quantum computing is approached by allowing multiple smaller quantum computers to function together as a larger system. This chip, developed in collaboration with UC Santa Barbara, utilizes the concept of quantum entanglement through photonic technology, generating pairs of entangled photons that facilitate instantaneous connections via quantum teleportation. Cisco's announcement also includes the opening of Cisco Quantum Labs, indicating a push towards a more distributed approach to quantum computing, moving away from traditional centralized models.

The Quantum Network Entanglement Chip allows linking smaller quantum computers, creating larger systems, demonstrating a shift from traditional, centralized computing architectures.

Cisco’s prototype chip uses photonics to generate entangled photons enabling instantaneous connections via quantum teleportation, showcasing potential for distributed quantum computing.
