In this section, we present an overview of Nu Quantum's positioning in the quantum networking market, as well as the alternative (non-networking) approaches to hardware scaling and other fault-tolerant architectures that have been proposed by qubit companies. Please refer to each page (linked at the bottom) for further details on:

• Quantum Networking Ecosystem Analysis
  Quantum networking is an umbrella term used to describe technologies that allow various ‘quantum’ nodes to be connected via (usually optical) links. However, the length of these links, the geometry of the network architecture, how light from each node enters the network, and the role of the network itself, are all design choices that depend on the application each company focuses on. We are the leading company working exclusively on building quantum networks for distributed quantum computing.
• Other Approaches to Scaling to Fault Tolerance
  We believe that a modular approach enabled by photonic networking, like the one Nu Quantum is building, offers the best route to scaling quantum systems to fault-tolerance. However, some qubit modalities offer complimentary routes to interconnecting quantum processors that are not based on photonic networking. In this page, we give an overview of the different approaches proposed in the industry.
• Third-party Report on Scaling Quantum Hardware
  ‍We provide as a useful reference a PDF version of an independent Outlook Report on "Scalable Quantum Hardware" by third-party analyst firm Global Quantum Intelligence (2024), which delves into the challenges and opportunities for scaling quantum computers.
