Strategic Collaboration: Luxquanta, Quside, Chilas, fragmentiX, Telefónica, and the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) unite in a four-year project to mature European quantum cryptography.Industrial Readiness: The initiative will deliver compact, interoperable, and certification-ready Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and related cryptographic technologies.
Supporting EuroQCI: Funded under the Digital Europe Programme’s IRIS² QCI call, QUARTERNEXT directly supports the EU’s mandate to deploy a secure, pan-European quantum communication infrastructure.

Starting today, a new secure communication network based on the exchange of so-called quantum keys will connect four ministries and a government agency. The security of the network is based on the laws of quantum physics, making it immune to hacker breaches.

The U.S. National Science Foundation launched Project Triad, an initiative to integrate quantum sensing, quantum networking and quantum computing into a single operational system to accelerate real-world applications and commercialization.

Q*Bird today announced the launch of the Falqon® Key Manager, a standalone quantum key management system designed to enable scalable, interoperable and hybrid quantum secure networks.

South Korea will make quantum technologies one of the country’s core national research priorities under a five-year science and technology plan that commits more than 200 trillion won to government research and development through 2030.

The United States maintains a slight lead in quantum — but that lead is eroding as China executes a coordinated, state-backed strategy across research, industry, talent, and infrastructure.

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a method for generating and distributing cryptographic keys using quantum-mechanical effects. It is recognised by HM Government as a valuable approach to providing near-term commercial opportunities for quantum companies, and to allow government, researchers and industry to acquire the operational learnings required to build the future quantum networking sector.

The U.K. government is shifting its quantum strategy from research leadership toward commercial adoption, with Science Minister Lord Vallance arguing that the country’s next challenge is scaling companies and creating demand for emerging technologies.

SK Telecom has secured funds to develop next-generation quantum cryptography technology under EU’s Horizon Europe project.

Nordhausen. Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences leads international consortium to establish a highly secure communication axis between Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic / Strategic contribution to Europe's digital resilience and sovereignty. Today's kick-off event marked the official launch of the QUANT-GPlCz - QKD Network Germany-Poland-Czech research project. The project marks a turning point in European cyber security: for the first time, national quantum communication infrastructures (QCI) will be linked to form a trilateral backbone.
