Aliro, a quantum networking software company, has announced a milestone of supporting over 50 quantum network devices with its software stack. This achievement, announced at the Quantum World Congress, is positioned as a step toward a scalable quantum internet and secure communications.
Aliro’s vendor-agnostic software stack supports a variety of quantum devices for free-space and fiber connectivity. The platform, which enables entanglement-based key generation, interoperates with Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) for end-to-end secure networks. The software supports devices from hardware developers including Single Quantum, Cisco, Qunnect, IonQ, and Keysight, ensuring multi-vendor compatibility. A deployment of AliroNet® Quickstart demonstrated entanglement distribution, error correction, and BBM92 key generation, all managed by Aliro software.
The support for a broad range of devices is intended to allow organizations, such as those in the telecom, utilities, and financial sectors, to build multi-vendor quantum networks. This approach is designed to prevent vendor lock-in and reduce costs and risks by enabling customers to simulate and validate networks before deployment. Dr. Sander Dorenbos, CEO of Single Quantum, commented that the integration of their superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) into the platform marks a step forward in operationalizing quantum networks.
