Tom Darras, CEO and Co-Founder of Welinq
In this episode, Tom Darras, CEO and co‑founder of Welinq, explains how his company is building a full quantum‑networking stack to link quantum processors across data‑center and metropolitan scales. He breaks down the three‑layer architecture—qubit‑photon interfaces, optical networking hardware (including entangled photon sources and quantum memories), and a compiler that partitions quantum circuits across multiple QPUs. Darras highlights key performance metrics such as entanglement rate, fidelity (typically >90 %), and memory efficiency (>90 % retrieval), and describes early deployments of "quantum‑augmented" data centers that combine high‑performance computing with quantum‑safe communications.
