Qunnect Carina Quantum Networking Suite With MSU
Qunnect’s Carina Quantum Networking Suite
Create a Quantum Entanglement Network at Montana State University with Qunnect's Product Suite.
With Qunnect's Carina quantum networking suite, Montana State University (MSU) has the Midwest's first quantum entanglement network. This is a quantum technology breakthrough. This groundbreaking effort aims to create a campus-wide quantum ecosystem that integrates quantum computing, sensing, and networking.
This deployment extends entanglement distribution to campus-scale telecommunications cable, solidifying MSU's quantum innovation leadership. The new integrated environment is expected to test applications and demonstrations beyond conventional cryptography, promoting a diversity of commercial use cases and speeding up new research. Qunnect and MSU are expected to increase Montana's economy and exposure by funding research, forming collaborations with high-tech firms, and attracting top scientists.
Qunnect's Carina product suite, noted for its real-time polarization stabilization, high-rate entangled photon production, and easy interface with telecom infrastructure, powers this revolutionary network. Qunnect's atom-based, entangled-photon producers, single photon counting detectors with high-resolution time tagging, adaptive polarization correction, entanglement validation, and orchestration make up the complicated, single-rack-mount Carina package.
Important Carina system features
Telecom wavelengths with high-rate entangled pair production for 100-kilometer fibers.
Real-time polarization stabilization is necessary for constant performance and authenticity in changing environments.
This modular interface integrates DWDM networks with standard data channels.
The Qunnect atom-based technology is ideal for MSU's quantum research. It enables high-rate sub-GHz-linewidth photon pairs and brightness not feasible with crystal-based systems. This improved brightness expands quantum network research applications.
Both organizations' leaders were thrilled about the initiative. Professor Krishna Rupavatharam, CTO of QCORE at MSU, said, “Qunnect’s technologies have given our students and researchers the infrastructure on which we can explore and innovate on quantum networks.”
“Having practical experience with photonic quantum networking technologies accelerates real-world quantum use cases for science and industry and advances our quantum efforts faster,” he said. MSU's early adoption of Qunnect technologies and leadership in quantum research were lauded by Qunnect CEO Noel Goddard. He continued, “With Carina, we are now taking the next step in bringing practical quantum networks from the lab to real-world research deployments.
The GothamQ quantum network in New York unites government, national labs, academic institutions, and corporate customers. The Carina system has shown promise in this implementation. Deutsche Telekom's Berlin T-Labs innovation team chose it for its BearlinQ quantum network. Since 2024, the BearlinQ network has achieved record quantum entanglement distribution distances. This latest cooperation with MSU coincides with QCORE, Montana State University's new quantum research and innovation endeavor.
It describes how Montana State University (MSU) is leveraging Qunnect's Carina product suite to build a quantum entanglement network. This project combines networking, sensing, and quantum computing to create a testbed for cutting-edge quantum applications and research. Scientific competence, industry ties, and fresh money are expected from the alliance in Montana.
The Carina system, used in quantum networks like Berlin's BearlinQ and New York's GothamQ, integrates readily with conventional telecommunications infrastructure due to its high-rate entangled photon creation and real-time polarization stabilization. This deployment is crucial to transferring viable quantum networks from labs to research settings.
