Quantum network
A Backbone for Business-
Academic Collaboration
Quantum Corridor® is built by Midwest technology innovators to provide an infrastructure for quantum-safe networking. In addition to providing high speed and low latency connectivity, this information-sharing infrastructure allows for academic researchers, scientific facilities, defense contractors and industry partners to cooperate and drive technology careers and business development throughout the region.
Launched in 2023 with its first transmissions from downtownChicago to Hammond, Indiana, Quantum Corridor® enhances the existing backbone of public fiber with a foundational quantum-safe transmission infrastructure build leveraging technology from world-class partners.
The current network infrastructure spans over172 miles from Chicago to the Ohio state border. With ongoing network expansion from Hammond, IN, south towards West Lafayette (Purdue), Indianapolis and Crane Westgate, and extending into Quantum research sites and laboratories in the Chicago region, the extended network will connect research institutions, develop the technology workforce and enable commercial applications of quantum technology in areas as diverse as chemistry, cryptography, machine learning, optimization and simulation.
