Retelit, Italy's leading B2B telecommunications company, together with Telebit, a specialized system integrator in telecommunications, digital solutions, and e-mobility, and ThinkQuantum, a University of Padua spin-off offering cybersecurity solutions and quantum communication systems, has successfully completed a trial for the application of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) as a method for encrypting data transmitted over fiber optic cables.

Nokia today announced that Nokia and SK Broadband have deployed a leased line network for Korea Hydro and Nuclear Plant (KHNP) to enhance data security. Completed in August 2024, this deployment enables KHNP to protect its network against existing and emerging cyber threats, including quantum computing-based cyberattacks.

Quantum Dice, a University of Oxford spin-out pioneering quantum random number generator (QRNG) technology, has joined the sixth cohort of the Digital Security by Design (DSbD) Technology Access Programme, a UK government-backed initiative, that aims to integrate secure-by-design principles into the development of resilient technologies.

Aegiq announced that it is leading the Quantum Link Assurance System (QLAS) project with support from BT Group and OpenLightComm. Contracted by Innovate UK’s Small Business Research Initiative scheme, Aegiq will develop a prototype solution for operators of fibre links to enable the improvement of operational security and quality of service assurance.

A recent collaboration between the University of Illinois and the University of Chicago addresses this problem by using the using the environment as a help, instead of a hindrance. In using the environment of superconducting qubits, sometimes referred to as a reservoir, the researchers show that more stable entanglement can be created.

Thales signed a memorandum of understanding with SeQure Quantum, a Chilean company specializing in quantum technology for encryption and cryptography.Thales and SeQure Quantum join forces to explore and develop joint strategies, transfer technology and knowledge related to space projects in Chile. The signing occurred during the 23rd edition of International Air and Space Fair (FIDAE).

KETS is pleased to announce that we have won a £1.7m contract funded by Innovate UK to develop our next generation QKD solution. The Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) competition aims to accelerate the development of enabling components and systems for quantum network technologies and to build UK leadership in the emerging global market.
