EPB Quantum Network is a permanent, commercially available facility which was purpose-built for developing and testing a wide range of quantum technologies under real-world network conditions. By providing companies with access to industry-leading network technologies for generating and verifying entangled photons within a next-generation fiber optic network environment, EPB Quantum Network is an end-to-end solution from proof-of-concept to market launch. In addition, EPB Quantum Network is reconfigurable and staffed by experienced quantum network engineers and physicists, so you can test across a range of network conditions and return to previous configurations as needed. Whether you’re involved in product development, seeking grant funding or conducting equipment testing, EPB Quantum Network provides you with the quantum network access you need—without all the investment.
Today, EPB Quantum Network operates alongside the IonQ Forte Enterprise quantum computer at EPB Quantum Center, making Chattanooga the only place in the country with commercial access to both a quantum network and a quantum computer.
Established on the cornerstone of R&D 100 award-winning research, EPB Quantum Network was the first commercially available quantum network. As a unique quantum technology resource, EPB Quantum Network has quickly racked up a series of additional breakthroughs.
Since its launch, EPB Quantum Network has empowered several “firsts” for the quantum technology industry:
“EPB Quantum provides a place where businesses, researchers and innovators can move quantum technology beyond theory and into practical application. By combining advanced quantum computing and networking resources in one place, we're helping organizations explore what's possible, prepare for what's next and find new solutions to their most complex problems.”
EPB Quantum Network is equipped with the latest foundational quantum networking technologies:
Envisioned, built and managed by industry leaders in communications infrastructure and practical quantum application who are dedicated to accelerating the development, adoption and integration of quantum products, EPB Quantum Network is the nation’s first commercially available quantum-as-a-service offering.
Exclusive opportunities are now available to use EPB Quantum Network at EPB Quantum Center, the only facility in the country offering commercial access to both a quantum network and a quantum computer.
