Dr. Mit Jha is the CEO of Quantum Corridor, the first inter-state quantum-safe commercial communications network in North America, running fiber from Chicago's 350 Cermak data center to Hammond, Indiana. A Purdue-trained PhD in transportation systems and former MIT research associate, he spent two decades structuring mega public-private-partnership infrastructure deals as a Managing Principal at Keystone Global before turning that dealmaking discipline toward building a quantum internet backbone across the American Midwest.
Quantum Corridor
Quantum Corridor is a Midwest network-infrastructure company building North America's first inter-state, quantum-safe commercial fiber backbone. Its live coherent optical network links Chicago to Northwest Indiana with 40 Tbps capacity and 0.274 ms round-trip latency, connecting quantum research labs, hyperscalers, data centers and defense partners. Formed in 2021 as a public-private partnership, it is extending the route toward Purdue, Indianapolis and the Crane naval research base.
