DARPA Awards Qunnect Contract to Advance Carina Polarization Compensation for Quantum Network Reliability
DARPA has awarded Qunnect a contract to advance the next-generation polarization compensation nodule in its Carina quantum entanglement distribution system. Carina already anchors quantum-network deployments in New York, Bozeman, Berlin, and Albuquerque. The funding targets real-time correction of fiber-induced polarization drift that can degrade quantum signals on commercial infrastructure.
