Mastering the complexities of quantum to move it from lab bench to commercial deployment is not for the faint-hearted, but everyone from determined startups to telecommunications equipment manufacturers and Tier 1 service providers are working to develop the building blocks for real world use. Companies have been able to build stand-alone quantum sensors and quantum computers, but connecting and networking them together, especially at long distances, is a challenge that is just now starting to show steady progress. 

The quest for useful and productive Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an all-consuming vision for the data center industry that is driving unprecedented scale and construction and coining new terms such as neoclouds as well as new currency in the form of tokens. Building better, faster, and more efficient facilities to house hundreds of thousands of GPUs under one roof is pushing the networking and fiber industries to pack more fiber into servers, racks, buildings, and networks to train the next generations of AI models at a rate that few could have imagined or envisioned five years ago.
