CHICAGO, IL, April 14, 2026 ─ memQ™, the industry leader in quantum networking solutions for distributed quantum computing, announced today that the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)has selected the company to develop a hardware- and network-aware quantum compiler as a part of its Heterogeneous Architectures for Quantum (HARQ) program. Announced via a program solicitation last year, HARQ aims to “assess the plausibility of heterogeneous [quantum computing] architectures and test whether they are inherently more scalable than homogeneous architectures”. memQ believes this effort can transform how quantum computing systems are designed and scaled by enabling qubit-agnostic, multi-modality, scale-out configurations that are modular, scalable, and optimized for real-world deployment.
