Nu Quantum, a quantum computing company, has launched the Quantum Data Centre Alliance (QDA) in an effort to bring together leading companies representing different layers of the quantum computing stack and create a forum on data center-scale quantum computers. Along with Nu Quantum, founding members of the alliance include Cisco, NTT Data, OQC, QphoX, Quantinuum, and QuEra Computing. According to the companies, the QDA presents an open community to discuss the opportunities and challenges on the road to building large, scalable, and robust quantum computing services. The Nu Quantum launched Quantum Data Centre Alliance was created to help discuss and face challenges on the road to building robust quantum computing services.
