Punjab, April 23 -- A working research prototype designed to connect quantum systems from different vendors, in all major encoding modalities, at room temperature, over standard telecom fiberNews Summary: The Cisco Universal Quantum Switch is designed to route quantum information between systems while preserving it, with aCisco-patented conversion engine that translates between all encoding and entanglement modalities at input and output.In proof-of-concept experiments, the switch preserved quantum information with less than 4% degradation in encoding and entanglement fidelity. The complete findings are expected to be published in an upcoming research paper onArXiv.SAN JOSE, Calif., April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) today a...
