Quantum Source reveals quantum interconnect using single atom memory
Quantum Source, a photonic hardware company in Tel Aviv, has introduced QS-LINK—a new quantum interconnect that uses a single trapped rubidium atom as a memory buffer to connect quantum processors. This lets processors establish remote entanglement without needing their photons to arrive at the same time, sidestepping a key scaling bottleneck. The company claims its system can cut the number of required entanglement attempts by about 60-fold compared to current linear-optics methods.
- Single-atom memory buffers enable asynchronous entanglement
- QS-LINK operates at room temperature over optical fiber
- Supports interconnectivity across different quantum hardware types
- Modeling projects 60x fewer attempts for target entanglement rates
- No need for simultaneous, indistinguishable photons between processors
