发生了什么
思科推出了通用量子交换机原型，旨在连接不同类型的量子计算系统。该设备使量子信息能够在异构架构之间移动，包括光子、超导和基于原子的系统。
它支持多种量子编码格式，如偏振、时间槽、频率槽和路径编码。该交换机在这些格式间转换量子态，同时在传输过程中保持纠缠。思科报告称，早期测试显示保真度损失保持在4%以下。 另见: Cisco.
该系统在室温下运行，并基于标准电信光纤基础设施，而非专门的量子环境。思科将该交换机定位为其更广泛的量子网络计划的一部分，该计划专注于连接不兼容的量子系统。

为什么重要
当今的量子计算在结构上是分散的。不同的硬件方法无法通信，这限制了可扩展分布式量子系统的任何路径。 另见: Ziggo集团任命领导人，备战2027年阿姆斯特丹上市.
思科通过引入量子信息的路由和转换层来填补这一空白。这将焦点从量子计算本身转移到系统之间的连接层——将量子处理器视为需要网络基础设施才能协同工作的节点。这与思科在传统网络中的地位相同，在传统网络中，价值创造在交换和路由层，而非计算层。思科不是在量子硬件领域竞争，而是将自己定位在互连层，这可能会定义未来量子系统的通信方式。 另见: 汉堡港务局（AöR）.
使用标准电信光纤是一项结构性决策。这表明量子网络可能在现有电信基础设施之上发展，而非通过孤立的量子专用网络。这将使电信运营商直接进入潜在的未来量子堆栈。 另见: EDEKA DIGITAL GmbH.
然而，该系统仍处于实验阶段。虽然低于4%的保真度损失表明量子态路由方面取得了进展，但这对于容错或长距离量子网络来说还不够。纠缠稳定性和大规模纠错等主要技术障碍仍未解决。 另见: EVRAZ.
