Belgium’s BeQCI Consortium Has Successfully Implemented the First Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) Network

BeQCI, the consortium charged with deploying the first-ever open quantum communication infrastructure in Belgium, has reached an important milestone in its Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) mission. Belnet, the Belgian National Research Network, has successfully set up the required infrastructure and realized the first QKD links together with Imec and UGent. It is understood that BeQCI, funded by the EU and the Belgian Science Policy Office, serves as the branch of the European Quantum Communication Infrastructure (EuroQCI) program in Belgium.
