Welinq, the Paris, based pioneer of quantum networking technology, has launched commercially its Entangled Photon Pair Source, a high, performance, rack, mounted device that is the first of its kind, and has delivered the first unit to a major European research institution. This sale and delivery mark a major milestone in the transition of quantum infrastructure from lab research to real, world deployment and operational validation. The new source that the company has developed is able to reliably produce entangled photons, which are the basic building blocks for ultra, secure quantum communications as well as for linking quantum computers. The device also features integration with the existing fiber infrastructure and a wide multi, quantum computing modalities compatibility, thus making it a main building piece of future next, generation, scalable quantum networking and data centers. Our vision is to provide a complete networking solution for quantum-augmented data centers and quantum-safe networks, and this commercial source is a vital piece of that puzzle,” said Tom Darras, CEO and co-founder of Welinq. The Entangled Photon Pair Source combines high-performance photon generation with a robust, integration-ready design and full-stack compatibility with Welinq’s broader portfolio, including its commercially available QDrive quantum memories, enabling high-performance quantum nodes and interconnects and reflecting strong market demand for engineered, production-ready quantum networking components.

This announcement represents Welinq’s second major commercial milestone following its earlier delivery of quantum memory products and underscores the company’s expanding footprint as a leading European provider of quantum networking infrastructure while pursuing international growth into the USA and Asia. By offering multiple interoperable on-premise components, Welinq is helping address concrete deployment needs of research and industrial customers and accelerate the industrialization of quantum technologies that extend beyond individual hardware elements to full systems for secure communications, distributed computing, and quantum-safe networks.
