Photonic Claims “World-First” Quantum Teleportation Across Telus Fibre Network

Photonic announced it successfully teleported quantum information across 30 km of Telus’s commercial PureFibre network, marking the first time usable qubits have been transferred to a remote processing node on a live telecom backbone. The demonstration builds on earlier lab‑scale experiments by showing that entanglement can survive real‑world fiber conditions and be accessed for computation. Photonic’s partnership with Telus, which also invested in its latest $180 M CAD funding round, positions the company to develop quantum‑safe networking services. The breakthrough aligns with Canada’s national quantum strategy and DARPA’s push for fault‑tolerant quantum systems.
