Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāDistributing entanglement over long distances is a core challenge of Quantum Communications. Quantum repeaters, hosting entanglement swapping protocols, have been proposed as a viable solution, though they have yet to be realized commercially. Basic research groups have demonstrated memory-assisted entanglement swapping using NV diamond centers or cold atomic vapor memories. Qunnect is building a product suite to support entanglement swapping based on warm atomic vapor. While the engineering of these systems is challenging, the elimination of extreme cooling and vacuum support provides numerous advantages for network scalability. I will discuss our progress to date and upcoming fiber testbed demonstrations.
