Aliro Technologies and zerothird Demonstrate Operational Entanglement-Based Quantum Networking with Cisco 8000 Series Routers

Aliro Technologies and zerothird demonstrated a live entanglement-based quantum key distribution network at Cisco’s Photonics Center in Vimercate, Italy. Aliro Orchestrator manages zerothird’s BBM92 hardware and delivers keys via Cisco SKIP into 8000 Series routers for quantum-safe MACsec. Continuous telemetry of QBER, eavesdropper detection, and polarization drift supports automated remediation with full audit logging. The deployment marks Aliro’s first European quantum network and validates multi-vendor operational quantum-secure networking on commercial hardware.

Quantum Elements and Planckian Partner to Develop Architecture-Specific Digital Twins for Superconducting Quantum Processors

Quantum Elements and Planckian have announced a development agreement to create architecture-specific noise models and digital twin capabilities for Planckian’s novel superconducting quantum processors. The work will characterize coherence, leakage, and operation-level errors to support evaluation of quantum error correction schemes on classical hardware. This builds on prior demonstrations of large-scale, hardware-faithful simulations, including a 97-qubit surface-code experiment. The collaboration aims to provide a realistic noise environment for designing fault-tolerant strategies ahead of physical scaling. The partnership combines Quantum Elements’ AI-powered digital twin platform with Planckian’s shared-control superconducting architecture.
