Building the Quantum Future: NRENs at the Forefront: 5B
- Ilias Papastamatiou (GRNET – National Infrastructures for Research and Technology)
Description
This session will bring you up to date on everything you need to knoq about Quantum developments in the research and education community.
This talk will provide a brief overview of key quantum technology initiatives across Europe, highlighting how they are shaping the broader research landscape. It will focus on the importance of aligning these efforts with the activities of the NREN community, showcasing opportunities for collaboration, strategic synergies, and the role of GEANT in supporting a coherent European approach.
As we approach the day when quantum computers could potentially decrypt our communications in an instant, securing our data transmissions against such attacks becomes crucial. This presentation will demonstrate how BeQCI, a consortium of which Belnet is a key member, plans to leverage the latest advancements in MDI-QKD to deliver on-demand quantum-secure keys across a star network, but also...
This presentation focuses on the deployment of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) within the infrastructure of national research and education networks (NRENs), addressing the growing need for quantum-safe communication as quantum computing advances. It highlights the integration of QKD technologies, including DV and MDI-QKD solutions from various vendors, into a real-world testbed to assess...
As long-term GEANT partners (Latnet/Sigmanet), the authors present a new complementary initiative quantum communications. An experimental QKD technology and its integration into conventional communication networks, including PQC, have been developed and tested. Authors present/discuss the experience of national QKD backbone deployment at the conference. The project is realized in collaboration...
