Key Aspects of the Collaboration IBM and CISCO in Novemeber:

• IBM and Cisco aim to build a network of interconnected, fault-tolerant quantum computers, forming the foundation of a future quantum internet.

• A proof-of-concept is targeted within five years, with broader deployment expected in the early 2030s.

• IBM develops the QPUs and QNUs, enabling conversion of stationary quantum information into flying qubits for networking.

• Cisco develops the quantum network architecture, including data-center distribution, software protocols, and long-distance microwave-optical transducers.

• The collaboration enables distributed, scalable quantum computing to overcome current hardware limits and is supported by academic co-funding to grow the quantum ecosystem.

  Key Aspects of the Collaboration NTT and OPTC in Novemeber:

  NTT and OptQC are partnering to develop optical quantum computers that use photons and operate at room temperature without cryogenic cooling.

• NTT brings decades of expertise in optical communications, including amplification, multiplexing, and error-correction technologies under its IOWN initiative.

• OptQC contributes its 25 years of University of Tokyo research in room-temperature, general-purpose optical quantum computing.

• Their five-year roadmap targets early use-case validation and ultimately achieving a 1-million-qubit optical quantum computer by 2030.

• The approach promises drastically lower power consumption, simpler infrastructure, new algorithms and software, and potential breakthroughs in areas like drug discovery, finance, and climate prediction.
