KDDI Research, Inc. (“KDDI Research”), and Toshiba Digital Solutions Corporation (“Toshiba Digital Solutions”) have developed a multiplexing technology for quantum key distribution (QKD) that is theoretically impossible to eavesdrop. This technology assigns secret keys to the C-band and high-volume data signals to the O-band, enabling multiplexed transmission over a single optical fiber. Furthermore, utilizing this technology, we have successfully transmitted secret keys and high-capacity data signals at 33.4 Tbps over 80 km for the first time.

IonQ’s quantum networking patent and patent pending owned or controlled portfolio exceeds nearly 400 in support of quantum business roadmap.

ID Quantique (IDQ), a global leader in Quantum-Safe solutions and Quantum Communications, today announced that its high-performance Clavis XG series, has become the first product of its class globally to receive an official national security approval from South Korea’s National Intelligence Service (NIS).

SEALSQ Corp ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company specializing in Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced that in cooperation with WISeSat AG (“WISeSat”), both subsidiaries of WISeKey International Holding Ltd, will launch six next-generation satellites in 2025. Each satellite will feature incremental advancements in post-quantum cryptography and secure communication technologies, further solidifying their leadership in satellite-based IoT solutions.

The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), the applied research pillar of Abu Dhabi’s Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), have recently signed a strategic partnership with the UAE Space Agency (UAE SA), announced today at GITEX, to establish a comprehensive quantum communication infrastructure, deploying UAE-built Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technologies.

TNO launched a new project called Qu-STAR to define the role of space in quantum information networks. Qu-STAR will have the added benefit of strengthening the position of the Netherlands in this emerging field, leveraging the country's strong expertise in quantum technology, free space optics, and photonics.

BTQ Technologies Corp. , a global quantum technology company focused on securing mission-critical networks, is pleased to announce its participation as a founding member of the newly launched Quantum Industrial Standard Association (QuINSA), a Korean-led international information standardization organization dedicated to advancing the quantum information technology industry. The launch ceremony, organized by the Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT), took place at the Yangjae El Tower in Seoul.

Ooredoo, Qatar’s leading telecommunications operator and ICT provider, is pleased to announce that it is providing an estimated QR 2,800,000 to Hamad Bin Khalifa University’s (HBKU) Qatar Centre for Quantum Computing (QC2) to support its groundbreaking project to build the country's first quantum communication testbed.

In a significant milestone for quantum communication technology, an experiment has demonstrated how networks can be leveraged to combat disruptive ‘noise’ in quantum communications. The international effort led by researchers from Griffith University’s Centre for Quantum Dynamics highlights the potential of quantum networks in revolutionising communication technologies on a quantum level.
