Cisco shows quantum networking chip, opens new lab
Cisco unveiled a prototype quantum networking chip designed to connect smaller quantum computers into larger systems.. The company opened a new quantum computing lab in Santa Monica, California to advance research in the field.. The chip uses quantum entanglement of photon pairs to enable instant communication between quantum computers, no matter how far apart they are.. Although it's not commercially ready, the chip could have practical uses in areas like financial trade timing and meteorite detection.. Unlike other tech giants focusing on building qubits, Cisco is working on linking quantum systems together through networking..
