According to Nu Quantum. by collecting complimentary perspectives from across the ecosystem, the QDA presents an open community to discuss the opportunities and challenges of building scalable robust quantum computing services.
The current participants of the QDA comprise:
- Cisco
- Nu Quantum, networking for distributed quantum computing
- NTT DATA, information technology and data centre services
- OQC, superconducting quantum computing
- QphoX, Quantum interfaces to enable networked quantum computation
- Quantinuum, trapped ion quantum computing
- QuEra, neutral-atom quantum computing
The QDA will host an inaugural in-person event later this year, to share insights and explore topics such as distributed architectures, scaling, standardisation, and interoperability.
Carmen Palacios-Berraquero, CEO at Nu Quantum, said, “The interactions we have had with other members have been incredibly enlightening and underline the importance of cross-industry discussion to accelerate the maturity of the quantum computing industry. We look forward to welcoming more members and associates to accelerate the industry further.”
“The need for networked scaling of quantum computing is clear, and the activities of groups like the Quantum Datacenter Alliance will be critical to enabling the technology providers and stakeholders of this exciting technology to work together successfully,” added Simon Groeblacher, CEO at QphoX.
Jenni Strabley, Vice President, and General Manager of Compute Products at Quantinuum, said that these forms of partnerships would be key to building a complete quantum stack and unlocking transformative possibilities.
“We appreciate the highly innovative work led by groups in the UK, a global hub of quantum innovation that we’re proud to be a part of,” said Strabley.
