March 19th, 2025 – Paris, France – Welinq, a leader in quantum networking technology, has launched the first commercial quantum memory designed specifically for quantum data centers with world-record performance. Quantum computing is reaching a turning point: with more than 100 individual quantum computers deployed in dedicated infrastructures, the next challenge is networking them into scalable, high-performance architectures.
Just as classical data centers rely on distributed computing and high-speed interconnects, the future of quantum computing depends on optical networking and resource sharing between quantum processors. Welinq’s quantum memory acts as the backbone of this infrastructure, making it possible to link quantum processors into powerful, scalable networks.
Welinq’s new memory is a fully integrated system allowing for plug-and-play deployment in quantum data centers and quantum communication networks. Key features include:
Julien Laurat, Professor at Sorbonne Université, CSO Hardware and Co-founder of Welinq, the pioneer of this technology, says: "Quantum memories have been a central focus of research for years, but transitioning from academic demonstrations to a deployable commercial solution in just two years was a major engineering challenge."
Today, quantum processors operate in isolation, limiting their computing power. Welinq’s quantum memory enables quantum processors to work together, forming a distributed quantum architecture—the only viable way to scale quantum computing beyond single QPUs.
As a quantum buffer, Welinq’s memory allows for entanglement distribution and qubit synchronization across processors.
For quantum communications, it enables the creation of large-scale secure networks, forming the backbone of the emerging quantum internet.
"Welinq’s quantum memory will unlock new applications and drive breakthroughs in quantum computing and communication. Its impact will be transformative across industries such as cybersecurity, energy, and healthcare*.*", says Eleni Diamanti, Research Director at CNRS, Lead of the Paris Center for Quantum Technologies, CSO Protocols and co-founder of Welinq.
