Quantum Datacenter Alliance Announces Second Annual Forum on Scaling Quantum Computing

Insider Brief

• The Quantum Datacenter Alliance will hold its second international forum Oct. 1 in London, bringing quantum and data center leaders together to address the challenges of building utility-scale distributed quantum computers.
• The forum will focus on system-level issues including quantum processors, networking, error correction, interoperability, middleware, software, algorithms and integration with classical computing infrastructure.
• Speakers will include executives and technical leaders from Atom Computing, QuEra, NVIDIA, IBM, Q-CTRL, Nu Quantum, Quantinuum and other organizations across the quantum computing ecosystem.

PRESS RELEASE — The second international Quantum Datacenter Alliance (QDA) Forum will be held on October 1, 2026 at Battersea Power Station in London. This exclusive-access event brings together technical and business leaders from across the quantum and classical networking industries with a shared mission: accelerating the timelines to reach utility-scale distributed quantum computing.

Nu Quantum, Cisco, NTT Data, OQC (Oxford Quantum Circuits), QphoX, Quantinuum and QuEra established the QDA in 2025 with the mission of bringing together leading voices from the quantum computing and data center communities to address one of the field’s most pressing bottlenecks: how to integrate emerging quantum hardware into existing and future data center infrastructure. As quantum systems move from lab-scale demonstrations toward commercial deployment, questions about system-level architecture, control, error correction, interoperability and power consumption have become as critical as the qubits themselves.
