Welinq has developed a commercial quantum memory system designed to support scalable quantum computing architectures. The system achieves over 90% on-demand storage-and-retrieval efficiency for single photons and offers storage durations of up to 200 microseconds. It operates at room temperature using a neutral-atom approach, eliminating the need for cryogenic cooling. The compact design fits into standard 19-inch industrial racks, enabling seamless integration into quantum data centers.

The quantum memory enables the interconnection of quantum processors, facilitating distributed quantum architectures. Key applications include entanglement distribution, qubit synchronization, and the development of large-scale quantum communication networks. These capabilities address the limitations of isolated quantum processors, paving the way for scalable quantum computing and secure quantum networks.

Several units are currently in production and being deployed across Europe. This development is part of Welinq’s broader efforts to advance quantum networking hardware, including photonics devices and light-qubit interfaces. The company also provides software solutions, such as the araQne quantum compiler, to optimize distributed quantum algorithms.
