EPB Quantum Network®

Accelerate your quantum technology development

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.

Break through with EPB Quantum Network

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.
