our network
Offering speeds 1,000 times faster than traditional networks, Quantum Corridor® is America’s first quantum-capable fiber network deployed in a real-world environment. Quantum Corridor Inc. launched the fastest secure commercial fiber-optic network in North America with its first transmissions from Chicago to Hammond, Indiana. Quantum Corridor® will enable regional businesses and institutions to achieve breakthroughs in defense, financial modeling, biotech, cybersecurity, machine learning and other vanguard technologies.
project timeline
Quantum Corridor®’s coherent optical network is scaling its length and capacity to bind the Midwest’s premier research institutions and strong commercial base. Future phases will support technology workforce development and commercial applications of quantum technology in areas such as chemistry, cryptography, machine learning, optimization and simulation.
PHASE I
(COMPLETE)
Fiber in the ground and
optics deployed.
PHASE II
(MID-2024)
Toshiba Systems tests quantum key distribution (QKD) and BB84 protocol over the 12-mile Quantum Corridor® network.
PHASE II
(MID-2024)
Toshiba Systems tests quantum key distribution (QKD) and BB84 protocol over the 12-mile Quantum Corridor® network.
PHASE III
(PLANNED 2025)
Once successfully tested, Quantum Corridor Inc. extends the Quantum Corridor® route to 172 miles from Chicago to Ohio and beyond.

“As one of the few North American sites that can facilitate QKD transmission, Quantum Corridor®’s network will enable government contracts and accelerate product development. Quantum Corridor®’s services will play a key role in connecting researchers, hyperscalers and developers along a secure quantum software pipeline.”
