Assessment of Time Distribution Systems & Protocols
Precise time and phase distribution are foundational to the future of quantum networking—and the requirements are rapidly evolving. In this member-exclusive report, QED-C examines where today’s classical synchronization technologies are sufficient, where advanced solutions such as optical clocks and RF-over-fiber links become essential, and how emerging quantum protocols may unlock new capabilities in security, scalability, and performance. With clear technical recommendations and a focus on standards, testbeds, and infrastructure development, this report provides actionable insight for stakeholders shaping the quantum ecosystem.
The State of the Global Quantum Industry session at the QED-C Quantum Summit will feature the release of the 2026 State of the Global Quantum Industry Report, followed by insights from leaders shaping the field. Dr. Darío Gil, Under Secretary for Science at the U.S. Department of Energy, will join the Government Leadership Forum, and the Industry Leadership Forum will feature panelists Alan Baratz (D-Wave), Juliette Peyronnet (Alice & Bob), and Joab Rosenberg (Deep 33 Ventures). Together, they will lend their unique perspectives to what the latest data signals for commercialization, investment, and global competitiveness.
