SUMMARY:FFB 2026 Week 26: The Quantum Edge: Why Fiber Providers Should Pay Attention Now
DESCRIPTION:FFB 2026 Week 26: The Quantum Edge: Why Fiber Providers Should Pay Attention Now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuantum networking is quickly moving from research concept to infrastructure conversation—and fiber providers may already hold the foundation. In this episode of Fiber for Breakfast\, Professor Prem Kumar\, Director\, Center of Photonic Communications and Computing at Northwestern University joins Gary Bolton\, President & CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association\, to explore how existing fiber infrastructure can support next-generation quantum technologies. Drawing on recent breakthroughs in transmitting quantum signals alongside high-capacity classical traffic\, the discussion will examine how operators can leverage today’s optical networks to enable future applications including quantum communications\, distributed computing\, synchronization\, and secure data exchange. Learn why the path to quantum may not require rebuilding networks—but evolving the fiber assets already in place. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith Special Guest \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n \n		\n					\n				Register Now
