Aliro has launched a live and operational AliroNet Quickstart deployment at our headquarters. Let’s look under the hood to explore the capabilities, impact, and future possibilities enabled by this deployment.

What is AliroNet Quickstart?

AliroNet Quickstart is an entanglement-based quantum network designed for organizations looking to rapidly deploy or test quantum networking capabilities. Entanglement-based quantum networks can be used for multiple purposes, including but not limited to:

• Quantum Secure Communications (QSC). Using entanglement-based encryption, enabling eavesdropping detection.
• Quantum Processor Interconnectivity. Connecting quantum processing units (QPUs) to enable high performance quantum computation.
• Quantum Sensor Networking. Enabling quantum sensors to share entangled states to enhance precision and synchronization.

AliroNet Quickstart is an operational multi-vendor quantum network that enables enterprises, government agencies, and research institutions to implement, test, develop, and scale real-world quantum applications. 

AliroNet Live Deployment

AliroNet Quickstart is fully operational at Aliro Headquarters, where it is performing essential quantum networking functions, including:

• Entanglement Distribution. Creating and distributing entangled photon pairs across network nodes.
• Error Correction. Ensuring stable entanglement fidelity.
• Quantum Tomography. Measuring and validating quantum states within the network.
• BBM92 Key Distribution. Implementing the BBM92 entanglement-based Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocol for secure communications.

This AliroNet Quickstart deployment showcases the full suite of Aliro’s quantum networking products including Aliro Simulator, Aliro Orchestrator, AlirOS,  integrated with hardware from seven different vendors.

Aliro Orchestrator: The Quantum Network Command Center

Aliro Orchestrator is a central component of AliroNet Quickstart. As the world’s first multitenant software-defined quantum network orchestration tool, Aliro Orchestrator is a necessary tool for any quantum network deployment. Aliro Orchestrator enables users to:

• Define and Optimize Quantum Networks. Evaluate and validate network designs through predictive modeling. Define the network topology and hardware configurations for efficiency and effectiveness.
• Control and Monitor the Network. Network operators are able to oversee the entire network, manage entanglement resources, and optimize performance. Schedule and execute quantum network operations and applications. Manage users and services.
• Integrate Hardware from Any Vendor. Devices from different manufacturers using various communications protocols like IP, serial, and NetConf Yang can be integrated efficiently, enabling interoperability of the best quantum hardware on the market.
• Reconfigure and Scale the Quantum Network.  The network can be adapted to different use cases, ensuring flexibility for leveraging a variety of quantum applications.

Aliro Orchestrator simplifies management, enhances scalability, and accelerates real-world applications of quantum networks. By managing the entire lifecycle of a quantum network, Aliro Orchestrator offers a unified, intuitive interface where operators can visualize, control, and automate network operations.
