QDA Forum 2026

We’re excited to join the QDA as a founding member and collaborate on unlocking the next phase of quantum computing. Neutral-atom technology has tremendous potential for scalable and robust systems, but realizing that promise requires a shared vision that spans hardware, software, and networking. By combining expertise across the quantum stack, the QDA will help drive the innovations needed for data center-scale solutions—and accelerate the path to meaningful quantum advantage.

We embrace collaborations like the QDA that support and develop potential technology paths to fast-track universal, fault-tolerant quantum computing. Partnerships are key to building a complete quantum stack and unlocking transformative possibilities. We appreciate the highly innovative work led by groups in the UK, a global hub of quantum innovation that we’re proud to be a part of.

The need for networked scaling of quantum computing is clear, and the activities of groups like the Quantum Datacenter Alliance will be critical to enabling the technology providers and stakeholders of this exciting technology to work together successfully.

As the first in the world to deploy a quantum computer into a colocation data centre, OQC are incredibly excited to be a part of the QDA initiative. For quantum computing to truly begin unlocking transformative business value, it cannot work in isolation: continuing to utilise the infrastructure of data centres will be critical in shaping the future of the quantum industry.

The industrialisation of quantum computing represents a material opportunity. I am delighted that NTT DATA UK&I is participating in the QDA to explore the potential in open collaboration with quantum network, hardware and solution providers

As a global leader in networking, Cisco acknowledges the critical role of cutting-edge research in driving innovation. Quantum networking, as a catalyst for distributed quantum computing, aligns closely with our strategic objectives of creating flexible, high-performance, and energy-efficient network solutions. We are confident that collaborating in the development of this groundbreaking technology can expedite its market entry and unlock transformative business value.

We are proud to found the QDA with some amazing partners. The interactions we have had so far have been incredibly enlightening and underline the importance of cross-industry discussion to accelerate the maturity of the quantum computing industry. We look forward to welcoming more participants and associates to accelerate the industry further.
