Qunnect Expands Live Quantum Networks as Market Projections Strengthen Growth Narrative

Qunnect is an entanglement-based quantum networking company, and this weekly recap reviews its latest positioning in the emerging quantum communications market. Management highlighted McKinsey & Company research projecting the sector could reach $11–15 billion by 2035, with telecom and financial services expected to account for roughly half of that demand.

Qunnect underscored three flagship quantum networks: GothamQ in New York City, BearlinQ with Deutsche Telekom in Berlin, and ABQ-Net in Albuquerque. All are designed to run at room temperature over existing commercial fiber with reported fidelities above 99%, signaling a focus on near-term, field-deployable infrastructure rather than lab-only experiments.

In New York, the company showcased a quantum entanglement-swapping trial on live metropolitan fiber with New York University and Cisco, using a three-node network anchored at QTD Systems’ 60 Hudson Street data hub. Conducting the test in a dense financial district highlights potential early use cases in quantum-secure networking for banks and other security-sensitive institutions.

ABQ-Net was featured as both a live network and a workforce-development platform, accessible to researchers, students, and industry teams for testing under real-world loss, noise, and distance conditions. Supported by the New Mexico Economic Development Department and Roadrunner Venture Studios, the network is intended to help alleviate a talent bottleneck in quantum networking by giving engineers hands-on experience.

Across these deployments, Qunnect is presenting a strategy centered on city-by-city, multi-continent rollouts of interoperable hardware over commercial fiber. For investors, this week’s updates suggest progress toward scalable, repeatable infrastructure and an ecosystem role that spans telecom, secure communications, and training, though near-term revenue visibility and commercialization timelines remain limited.
