Photon Queue
Photon Queue is a hardware company developing quantum memories and the first quantum startup from UIUC. We aim to become the premier supplier of photonic quantum memories for the emerging quantum communication, networking, and computing sectors. Quantum memories comprise many of the required components for these sectors and will command a significant fraction of this market size, but the currently available quantum memory technologies lack many performance metrics. Our quantum memory technology has been pioneered by the research group of Prof. Paul Kwiat over the past two decades. It outperforms all competing technologies in head-to-head comparisons for several critical quantum applications. Our company aims to accelerate the realization of important quantum applications by providing high-performance quantum memories.
