Nu Quantum has opened a new trapped-ion networking laboratory 1.5 miles from its R&D headquarters in Cambridge, doubling its research infrastructure to accelerate distributed quantum computing. The facility will feature a multi-node networking testbed for testing the Qubit-Photon Interface (QPI) technology, which aims to interconnect commercial quantum processors via a scalable photonic network.

The company has raised $60 million in Series A funding, the largest for a quantum firm in the UK. Nu Quantum is also hiring for various technical positions, focusing on trapped-ion and AMO fields. The lab will collaborate with the National Quantum Computing Centre and other institutions to enhance quantum networking capabilities.
