In a newly published paper, Quantum Communications Hub researchers from the University of Strathclyde, in collaboration with colleagues from Humboldt University of Berlin in Germany, are proposing a visionary new model using satellites as hosts of quantum memories, with demonstrably improved results.

Qunnect, a leader in quantum-secure networking technology, today announced that GothamQ, its quantum network utilizing existing commercial fiber optic cable, surpassed previous performance metrics in enabling the distribution of polarization-based quantum entanglement while delivering exceptionally high rates of preservation and fidelity. This technical achievement signifies the viability of Qunnect's quantum networking components to perform entanglement-based protocols over prolonged durations in real-world environments.

SpeQtral, an expert in space-based quantum communications, and Qosmosys, a leader in space exploration, proudly announce the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU). This collaboration aims to develop a Moon-based Entanglement Distribution System (MEDS) for ultra long-distance quantum communications, leveraging Qosmosys' ZeusX and SpeQtral's expertise to unlock the Moon's potential for cybersecurity applications and beyond.

Qunnect, a leader in quantum-secure networking technology, has been recognized by SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, with a Prism Award in the quantum technology category for its QU-APC (Auto Polarization Compensator) instrument. The Prism Award is an annual international competition that honors the most innovative optics- and photonics-based technologies.
