Description
Fast development of quantum technologies and operational solutions changes the way we build and operate our networks and services, opening new horizons for its usage and changing the idea of the impossible.
This session helps us to embrace these changes by looking at challenges and opportunities of quantum communication development and implementation from the perspective of R&E institutions. It also helps us to consider possible threats and look at the deployment-ready solutions to protect our systems and prepare us for the forthcoming quantum era.

This presentation will provide an overview of recent activities in quantum communications and networking research using testbeds, including the potential for extending those testbeds to international sites. Quantum communications and network are particularly important research areas for a wide range of innovative applications. Recently, Northwestern University established an initiative,...
The talk will present the latest experiences gained through the collaborative work in the GÉANT GN4-3 project on quantum key distribution (QKD). These activities such as evaluation of R&E use cases, the use of testbeds and simulators, and an upcoming long distance proof of concept to be run between two GEANT PoPs will be discussed. Activities were focused mainly on practical aspects and use...
Cryptographic algorithms in secure encryption provide protection against present threats. In the face of emerging quantum computers, standards communities are defining replacement candidates. But networks need our attention now to avoid attack later when a practical quantum computer is available. Symmetrical key management and a high-quality key are paramount in keeping networks safe today and...
