Contribution and Partnerships

MAX is collaborating with researchers from universities and the private sector to develop a quantum-classical network infrastructure, which allows for congestion-free transmission of both quantum and classical information.

To this end, MAX is collaborating on hardware and software projects, in particular quantum modems and quantum routers as well as a universal quantum-classical bus protocol, and is building out the testbed of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Quantum Internet (MARQI).
