Today, Eurofiber, in collaboration with Delft Networks, today announced the successful deployment of entanglement-ready dark fiber connecting Delft and Rotterdam in a closed loop configuration. This pioneering infrastructure is designed to test and validate long-range quantum connections over existing deployed fiber, marking a significant step toward the realization of a future quantum internet.
The initiative leverages Eurofiber’s high-quality fiber optic infrastructure and Delft Networks’ advanced quantum networking expertise, preparing for the distribution of long-lived entangled states between quantum memories separated by metropolitan distances. By integrating quantum signals with deployed fiber, the project explores how existing telecom networks can be augmented to support fundamentally new levels of privacy, trust and coordination.
