Frequency Combs: Illuminating Next Generation Quantum Applications
Frequency combs are a foundational technology for quantum computing, quantum communications, networking, and sensing—and they’re at an important turning point. In a new members-only report, QED-C brings together insights from industry interviews and a community workshop to explore why performance, cost, and manufacturability must advance together to enable broader deployment.
The report highlights emerging approaches such as photonic integrated circuit–based microcombs and outlines where shared requirements, manufacturing access, and coordinated investment could make the biggest difference. What will it take to move frequency combs from specialized lab systems to widely deployable quantum infrastructure?
This World Quantum Day, join leaders from government, industry, research, and investment at the QED-C Quantum Summit—a key coordination moment for the global quantum ecosystem. Anchored by the release of the State of the Global Quantum Industry Report, the Summit brings the community together to align on priorities and move from insight to action.
Designed for decision-makers, end-users, investors and practitioners alike, the Summit blends strategic outlooks, executive learning, and structured engagement. Attendees will leave with sharper perspective, meaningful connections, and a shared understanding of what comes next for quantum technologies.

This webinar explored recent advances in quantum sensing, especially as they relate toreal-world applications. Representatives from Infleqtion, Leidos, FieldLine Medical, Quantum Valley Ideas Lab, and SRI shared insights related to the latest quantum sensing state of the art and held an enlightening panel discussion.
The U.S. Army Research Office (ARO), in partnership with NSA’s Laboratory for Physical Science (LPS), is seeking Incubator, Collaboration, and Fellowship research proposals through the LPS Qubit Collaboratory (LQC). This opportunity supports disruptive research in qubit development, deep cross-sector collaboration, and hands-on experiences to help build the next generation of the quantum workforce.
