Icarus Quantum

Icarus Quantum describes itself as a builder of interconnect infrastructure for quantum datacenters. According to its website, its photonic links connect cryogenic quantum computers with room-temperature fiber optics, with the aim of enabling modular quantum computing and quantum information transfer between systems.

The company says its technology is based on semiconductor quantum dots developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado. It presents deterministic entangled photon sources and microwave-to-optical transducers as core elements of a full-stack interconnect solution for superconducting quantum computers, while also stating that its optical interconnects are intended to be compatible with any qubit modality.

The website also identifies potential application areas in government, data processing, and finance. Team information names founder and CEO Poolad Imany and states that he founded Icarus Quantum at NIST to commercialize NIST quantum dot technology for quantum networking.
