For the first time, ORNL will run equipment developed at its research facilities on a commercially available quantum network at EPB Quantum Network powered by Qubitekk to help validate the technology's commercial viability.
ORNL was front and center recently at one of the world’s largest optical networking conferences, the 2024 Optic Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibition, or OFC.
An experiment by researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø demonstrated advanced quantum-based cybersecurity can be realized in a deployed fiber link.
