Rigetti and QphoX win $5.8M contract with Air Force for quantum networking

🔈 Yesterday we shared the exciting news that Rigetti, in collaboration with QphoX, was awarded a three-year, $5.8M contract with the Air Force Research Laboratory to advance quantum networking technology. As reported by Barron's, this project aims to deliver systems providing entanglement between superconducting qubits and optical photons, the essential building block of quantum networking. 📰 From the article: “We’re talking about the ability to transfer information from one computer to another in the quantum state. It’s a necessary component, long-term, to making sure quantum computers get integrated into the fabric of data centers.” — Dr. Subodh Kulkarni, Rigetti CEO Full article: https://lnkd.in/ePXF8b2B
