Yuval Boger interviews Tom Darras, CEO and co-founder of Welinq. They discuss how quantum networking uses shared entanglement to interconnect quantum processors, enabling modular scale-out clusters and quantum-safe connectivity between data centers. Tom explains the technical building blocks—qubit-photon interfaces, optical networks, entangled photon sources, and especially quantum memories—as wel...
The interview with Tom Darras of Welinq presents a compelling vision of quantum networking as a critical enabler for scalable quantum computing and secure communication. The strongest version of this narrative is that quantum networking, by leveraging entanglement and optical technologies, can overcome the physical limitations of single quantum processors, allowing for modular scaling and heterogeneous integration of different quantum computing platforms. Welinq's approach, which includes both h...
