05 · What Partners Say
What leading institutions are saying.
"It is extremely exciting to witness QKD deployed and functioning on a fully commercial network under real world conditions. This achievement marks a significant transitioning towards commercially viable secure quantum key distribution across state boundaries in a major metropolitan center. This result from Quantum Corridor and Toshiba bodes well for further commercial expansion in the Midwest Quantum heartland."Dr. Michael Manfra
Director, Purdue University Quantum Science and Engineering Institute
"The partnerships that fueled this work highlight the essential role of collaboration across borders and between organizations in accelerating quantum technology development. This is why building a strong quantum ecosystem matters. By bringing teams of researchers with different strengths and assets together, we make projects like this possible."Dr. David Awschalom
Liew Family Professor of Molecular Engineering, University of Chicago; Director, Chicago Quantum Exchange (CQE)
"We are proud to partner with Quantum Corridor to deliver the first data center installation of our Dirac-3 computer. By embedding our technology into a highly secure, quantum-compatible network in the Chicago and Northwest Indiana region, we are expanding practical access to quantum infrastructure for both academic and enterprise users."Dr. Yuping Huang
