Abstract

Nontechnical: Commercialization of quantum networks is a key goal for the Engineering Research Center for Quantum Networks (CQN). Toward identifying the commercial applications of the quantum networks, CQN is actively working on developing corresponding application roadmaps. In an early effort, the industry partners at CQN developed the Quantum Networks Application Roadmap (QNAR) 1.0 published in 2022. In a new attempt to update the roadmap, CQN has partnered with the Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C) for a one-year project to expand the previous effort and develop QNAR 2.0. QED-C is the largest international public-private consortium for quantum technologies with 188 member companies. This partnership combines CQN’s technical leadership in quantum networks with QED-C’s experience with industry roadmap development toward CQN’s mission for commercialization. Also, such a partnership further establishes CQN as a leading center for quantum networking technology. Technical The technical goal of CQN ERC is to develop and integrate all the key technologies to realize fault-tolerant quantum networking, by demonstrating: (1) the underlying device functionalities—viz., to entangle remote telecom-compatible quantum memory registers—built with integrated-photonic chips that are high-efficiency-coupled to millions of Silicon- and Tin-vacancy color centers—mediated by high-fidelity high-rate photonic entanglement generated by the zero-added-loss-multiplexing source, (2)
