About Photon Queue
Photon Queue is a hardware startup developing all-optical, room-temperature quantum memory systems that store and synchronize single photons using free-space optical loops, high-reflectivity mirrors, and optical switches. Spun out of Professor Paul Kwiat's quantum information research group at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, its technology serves quantum computing, communication, and networking customers, including national laboratories and universities, without requiring cryogenics or vacuum systems.
