About
Photon Queue develops quantum memories that use simple, scalable linear optics to build practical photon-storage devices, avoiding cryogenics, ovens, or vacuum systems by running off a standard wall outlet. Its hardware offers high end-to-end efficiency, world-leading bandwidth, multi-mode capability, and operation at virtually any wavelength. Founded in 2024 as a University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign spinout, the company is scaling quantum memory systems for the quantum networking and computing industry.
