QphoX is developing the world’s first Quantum Modem, a breakthrough device that will allow the quantum computing industry to scale through connectivity and parallelization and unlock the potential of the Quantum Internet. Quantum computing allows for certain complex, intractable problems to be solved, using classical processing technology and has the potential to transform fields like cybersecurity, AI, and big data research.

By creating remote entanglement links between distantly separated quantum processors, QphoX presents the first viable solution for scaling the performance of today’s most advanced quantum computers. With the accelerating pace of development of both optical quantum networks and microwave quantum processors, QphoX’s Quantum Modem will play an indispensable role in bridging these technologies, serving as the gateway to the Quantum Internet.
