Objective
Fully achieving the many promises of quantum computing will require dramatically scaling up the number of quantum bits (qubits) that quantum computers manipulate. The only way consists of interconnecting several mid-sized quantum processing units (QPUs) in clusters to effectively multiply qubit counts.Welinq is building the essential interconnection technology to support modular quantum architectures by combining the world’s best quantum memory and novel networking protocols to construct “quantum links”. Our unrivalled on-demand storage-and-retrieval of quantum light enables us to efficiently entangle separated QPUs, enabling larger and more powerful quantum computers.SQOUT will ensure the adaptability and scalability of Welinq’s full-stack solution to drive the global market adoption of our turnkey quantum links. Our internationally renowned team has unsurpassed technical expertise alongside quantum business commercialization experience. With EIC support, Welinq will make the interconnection of QPUs a reality and secure Europe’s quantum industry leadership.
