- Ilias Papastamatiou (GRNET)
Description
Speakers: Ilias Papastamatiou (GRNET), Alexis Aivaliotis (GRNET), Domenico (Dom) Vicinanza (GÉANT), Piotr Rydlichowski (PCSS), Wojciech Kozlowski (SURF), Sergejs Kozlovics (IMCS, University of Latvia).
An open discussion and Q&A session will follow the presentations.
Quantum technologies are increasingly progressing as a strategic priority for research, digital infrastructure, and secure communications worldwide. Significant progress is being made across all main domains of quantum technologies - quantum communication, quantum computing, quantum sensing, and quantum metrology. In this evolving landscape, NRENs are increasingly expected to play an enabling role by providing advanced use cases, connectivity to users, trusted infrastructures, testbeds, services and operational expertise to support research communities and emerging quantum infrastructures.
This BoF session at TNC26 Conference will bring together representatives from the NREN community to exchange experiences and discuss how NRENs and GÉANT can contribute to the development and deployment of quantum technologies across Europe and beyond.
